about

This song was written as a counterpart to The Cancer. We knew these two songs would be paired together, so we tried to make them sound like siblings. The Treatment is the optimistic one. At the beginning, we used a mix of heavily-processed field recordings of city sounds from late at night and early in the morning. There’s a bit of bird song in there, too. At the end, those sounds return, but with our daughter playing her toy piano and talking.

lyrics

And I play with my feet.
You're welcome, you're welcome.
Can you play?
