Telekinesis! is the eponymous debut studio album by the alternative rock band Telekinesis. Recorded in September 2008, the album was produced, mixed, and engineered with the help of Chris Walla (guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie), recording one song per day on analog tape. The album was released on Merge Records on April 7, 2009.
Psychokinesis (from Greek ψυχή "mind" + κίνησις "movement"), or telekinesis (from τῆλε "far off" + κίνησις "movement"), is an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction.
Psychokinesis experiments have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability. There is no convincing evidence that psychokinesis is a real phenomenon.
The word 'psychokinesis' was coined in 1914 by American author Henry Holt in his book On the Cosmic Relations. The term is a linguistic blend or portmanteau of the Greek language words ψυχή ("psyche") – meaning mind, soul, spirit, or breath – and κίνησις ("kinesis") – meaning motion, movement.
The American parapsychologist J. B. Rhine coined the term extra-sensory perception to describe receiving information paranormally from an external source. Following this, he used the term psychokinesis in 1934 to describe mentally influencing external objects or events without the use of physical energy. His initial example of psychokinesis was experiments that were conducted to determine whether a person could influence the outcome of falling dice.
Telekinesis is a term used in parapsychology as either an alternate for psychokinesis or as the name of a specialty ability under the umbrella term of psychokinesis to refer to using the power of the mind to cause the movement of matter at a distance.

I was young and you were older
We had some fun times, sooner or later
I could have told you
You were the one then
I fell fast and you fell faster
It wasn't true love just like that,
It was a disaster and
Now you're on the run
I remember we were driving
It was a warm day, I can bet you
Can't remember the things I tried to say
Just last week I brought you shoulder
On the busy street, it's no wonder
You didn't even blink
Oh, what a dirty thing
Sometimes I wonder where you've gone
Sometimes I wonder
And then I think about everyone
