What the song is about
On hearing your own words returned to you, changed.

Craft and analysis
All percussion is hand claps and foot stomps recorded in the nave.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stone arches, high ceiling
My voice came back three seconds later
I sang the same line twice
Recorded under Glasgow stone
[Chorus]
No artificial reverb needed
The church had too much already
One room, one take, live
The Clyde Archive steady
[Verse 2]
Hand claps and foot stomps
In the nave where echoes live
My voice returned to me
Changed, but still able to give
[Chorus]
No artificial reverb needed
The church had too much already
One room, one take, live
The Clyde Archive steady
[Bridge]
Hearing your own words
Coming back three seconds later
Not the same as when they left
A Glasgow stone creator
[Chorus]
No artificial reverb needed
The church had too much already
One room, one take, live
The Clyde Archive steady
[Outro]
Stone arches
High ceiling
