Fishbowl by Warren Dunes

In 2015 and 2016, there were a handful of experiments conducted where strangers were asked to sit and silently share eye contact with one another for 4 minutes. What they discovered was that this simple act of looking into one another’s eyes for a short time created a “deep and meaningful connection.” “Fishbowl” is an homage to this experiment as it illustrates what happens when we truly take time, and not much time at all, to meet people where they are in the present moment. Inside the bounds of our bodies, but outside the bounds of our different perspectives. To quote William James, “we are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

Lyrics

Won't you take your hand in mine-
Nervous as it is at times?

I admit I'm in my mind,
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds, inside the bounds
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds,
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds, oooooooo
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds

Won't you take a walk with me-
Nervous as a heart and beat?

I admit I'm on repeat
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds, inside the bounds

Won't you take your hand in mine-
Nervous as it is at times?

I admit I'm in my mind,
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds, inside the bounds
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds,
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds, oooooooo
Under the clouds, hearing the sounds
