Alphabets

What this track carries

“Starts with Kids Humming” gives “Alphabets” its distinctive colour. Around that line, the song builds a deliberately light-footed kind of humour and lets “A-B-C, we've learned them all today” carry the final shift in perspective.

The Unspoken

“Alphabets” keeps its deeper idea deliberately light: people are messy, life is strange, and laughter is one way of staying generous about both. What the lyric is really testing is humour as a way of disarming life's small absurdities. The movement from “Starts with Kids Humming” to “A-B-C, we've learned them all today” gives that idea a narrative shape instead of leaving it as a slogan. The repeated sense of 'we' widens the thought beyond one narrator and makes it communal. By the time the song reaches “A-B-C, we've learned them all today,” the song wisely leaves the joke intact instead of forcing it into a moral.
