Crisp, full-throated funk-indie rock-pop from new Toronto band of Sam Arion, Milan Sarkadi and Iris Waters, with a song about the danger of how fear and negativity can overcome your spirit. Work stress, social media, paranoia – it's all part of the problem, but bringing together conflicting elements, musically or thematically, can also be the solution. The song is front their debut album, Silent Conversations, out now on Sleepless Records. See also Basement, Welcome To The Neighbourhood, and Familiar Ways from the album. More information about the band can be found here and on Bandcamp.
I woke up tired and feeling old
Still like good charms, you get into my home
I don't know why I'm pacing
One fickle joy of chasing
Believe every word you say
Or thaw to death with flames
The renegades are left the raid
I guess I didn't say
My pride is gone, and my hair cut short
Ikea homes, locks on every door
I share so much, I can't find a meaning
Forever punished by this curse
That keeps me from being
Everything I'd ever wanted I got it
Until my feet touched the ground
Just evoking, man, city night is broken
Bet your good walls, they don't give a sound
Would you get in now, would you get it right
As if by waiting I could torture the sun
And never moonlight, never moonlight
The door closed shut and the door closed shut
Believe every word you say
Or thaw to death with flames
The renegades have left the raid
I guess I didn't say
He's gonna stay …
