Every verse in “New Normal” was written about different scenes that happened while writing this record, Pang.
Polachek said it was written over a bass loop played by Danny L Harle.
[Verse 1]
Now, what is this?
Feeling I know you from long ago
From deep in my past
I don't know why
Why I trust you completely
Don't question it
The bottle is empty
[Verse 2]
Now, what is this?
Club closing early
The fog machines
And lasers swirling
It's Halloween
I'm sorry for screaming

I scare you completely
[Verse 3]
Now, what is this?

I'm underdressed as usual

[Verse 7]
Now, what is this?
Hollywood ghost town
A shootout scene
No actors at all
Last night I dreamed
You and I were immortal
It's no big deal
This new kind of normal

“Wrote ’New Normal’ with @dannylharle the same week as Insomnia, July 2017 in LA. Danny played me this midi sequence he’d made, a bass line by itself that changed key with every repeat. I heard the melody over it immediately, this sweet folky thing that modulated with the bassline. We were so psyche...
