Norton Commander (All We Need)

Men I Trust's song 'Norton Commander (All We Need)' delves into the themes of love, companionship, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of commitment and the willingness to share one's life with another. The opening lines, 'My friend you know / You had your time a while / But I'm willing to give / You mine,' suggest a selfless act of offering one's time and presence to a loved one, emphasizing the importance of mutual support and understanding in a relationship.

The chorus, 'Few things we both have / Keep us alive / My life and our true love / Is all we need / All we need,' highlights the simplicity and purity of their bond. It underscores the idea that material possessions and external factors are secondary to the love and connection they share. This sentiment is further reinforced by the repetition of 'All we need,' which serves as a mantra for the couple's enduring love and the essential nature of their relationship.

This vulnerability adds depth to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the fear of losing a cherished relationship. Men I Trust's dreamy, mellow sound complements the introspective and heartfelt lyrics, creating a soothing yet poignant listening experience.
