RØR - Ships in the Night

i sip my drip up in my morning you’re out late dancing in your night i walk out into the streets you go home dip into your sheets ships in the night chips in the bed i’m stuck at the dock with shit in my teeth i don’t sleep i’m just up waiting on my phone i wanna share a timezone you bring me breakfast in the morning it’s just a picture i can’t eat you must be green from all that julia roberts there’s nothing in my fridge just maybe some ships in the night chips in the bed i’m stuck at the dock with shit in my teeth i dont sleep im just up waiting on my stupid phone i wanna share a timezone RØR - a musical project created by Kaya Wilkins and Stix Omar in New York in 2018 in the romance of their sexual relationship Their 2019 5 track EP ARE WE STILL TALKING never saw a release in the aftermath of the breakup and other projects, but was performed twice in Paris and once in Oslo Is it safe to mix business and pleasure? Is it possible for a creative person not to? Are we still talking? Ships In The Night is a song from the EP. A song about a long distance relationship and dealing with phones and timezones. Julia Roberts is the name of a smoothie Kaya and Stix shared at a cafe in Berlin in 2019 Two years later the ships have been sailing different routes in and out of relation on different waters around the world twice day and night and back into the same dry dock of Berlin and out again. At one point nothing made more sense than Danskebåten 19 hours on the DFDS Queen Of Scandinavia offers 3 crew assisted potty breaks for your animal. Telling your friends Bye I’m about to board a cruise ship with my ex to take me from Copenhagen to Oslo and it takes 19 hours, that might seem like an exaggerated amount of travel time But what about all that other time, time that passed in between the idea of a song describing the current struggle of your relationship and now, a music video, isn’t it sweet that when you thought that ship had sailed you can find each other on a dock in the middle to discover you still have the same shit stuck up in your crooked teeth and that the title of your unreleased EP is an ever burning current? Ships In The Night - the movie is 6 minutes 42 seconds long filmed July 2021 in Copenhagen and on DFDS Queen Of Scandinavia by Kaya and Stix and edited by Kaya Ships In The Night - the soundtrack is recorded in NY, Berlin and Oslo over a period from 2019-2021 Written and performed by Stix and Kaya Produced and mixed by Kaya
