Sorry I’m such a downer
I try to play along
The thing I like about you is
How you don't like anyone
Drank too much at the bar
Passed out from the buzz
Missed the train to get home
I texted you, no response
You’re so dramatic
Can’t read your actions
But I’ll show up
For a song
The people are screaming
Kiss her like you mean it
But you don’t
So it’s time to move on

Hold on
Did you say something out loud?
Can’t hear it over the sound
Of people and the cars
Flashing lights
Disco in the streets at night
The summer makes you feel alive
Like a painting in real life, real life
The sky
Soaked in the blue of a dark midnight
The best is gone but we’re still high
It’s all just a ride
Kiss in the dark
Igniting like a match struck heart
The morning will erase its mark
But for now it's all there is
What happens next it's up to you
Lets see if someone can follow through
What happens next it's up to you
Lets see if someone can follow through

Where’d you go?
All alone
Moving slow
In a dream you can’t wake from
Pretty blue eyes and a snake like charm
It’s gonna make you cry in a sea of your own
Thoughts in your head that you can’t break from
They keep coming
The keep coming
The stars in a dark sky
Crystallize
Tonight
A sound like a song
You’re with me, you’re the one
Walking down
In a crowd
Lack of sound
In the glimmering nightfall
The little lies that we tell ourselves
Pretending i don’t care
When you’re with someone else
Tendrils of pain escape in a bloom
What I would give to see you standing
Here in this room
Oooooo
Oooooo
What I would give
What I would give
The stars in a dark sky
Crystallize
Tonight
A sound like a song
You’re with me
You’re the one
The stars in a dark sky
Crystallize
Tonight
A sound like a song
You’re with me
You’re the one

Monsoon

Saw you
Across the room
A fever pitch
In a monsoon
Violet light
Think I’ll talk to you tonight
Like a satellite
Pulling me to you
Violet light
Like a satellite
Cigarette
Burning cherry red
Lingering
On the words you said
Violet light
Think I’ll talk to you tonight
Like a satellite
Pulling me to you
Obsession sets in, as soon as you let it
The stars have aligned and
The game has been set in
Motion
Shifting eyes in a darkened street
Your visions conjuring up me
The stars are silver in the sky
Your only wish is to be mine
Violet light
Think I’ll talk to you tonight
Like a satellite
Pulling me to you
Obsession sets in
As soon as you let it
The stars have aligned and
The game had been set in motion

The Artist
04:30
|

|
Still trying to prove something
Still trying to never sink
Below
This darkness
But every night
I sing this solemn lullaby
And wonder why
Oh why
I let
It get this bad
Bear my teeth shiny and sharp
Cry to sleep and then restart
The artist and her art
Let thoughts consume my mind
Then you burn up all my time
Left with nothing
Nothing
Sell my soul
What's mine is yours
No buyers left for all the damaged goods
I shall create
What will be great
Until the life I’ve made comes to eat me
Rocks thrown at the storm
A perfect metaphor
For this lack
Of control
And every night
I hope I’ll learn to get it right
Dying and coming back
Bear my teeth shiny and sharp
Fall to sleep and fall apart
Always in disguise
Let thoughts consume my time
Then I burn away my mind
I’m nothing
Nothing
Sell my soul
What's mine is yours
No buyers left for all the damaged goods
I shall create
What will be great
Until the life I’ve made comes to kill me
And I still want it
Even now
I still want it
Even now
Bury all the bad parts
Leave only
Shimmering blue
Buried in the backyard
Who I was
With you
Sell my soul
What's mine is yours
No buyers left for all the damaged goods
I shall create
What will be great
Until the life I’ve made
Comes

Pendulum
03:12

This feeling
Like a cracking glass
Mirror black ceiling
Feel the weighted mass
Of unending
Monolithic dark inside me
Inside me
The violence
Comes out to play
What's the last thing
That you'll ever say?
Cause the worst thing
I ever did
I do every day
Pendulum on a silken wave
A boat at night should take me away
On my knees like your dog I’ll beg
Just get rid of me
Just get rid of me
Cause destructive force is a secret dance
With men who tell me who I am
The purest form of false romance
Unrequited love
Sunk inside
Its power its pulsating light
As I sit in the spring of my life
And I don’t know where to go
Pendulum on a silken wave
A boat at night should take me away
On my knees like your dog I’ll beg
Just get rid of me
Just get rid of me

Last of the Good Times
03:46
|

|
The last of the good times are gone now
What I once was has changed somehow
It's a feeling
I don’t wanna own what's mine
I feel it all
But I don't feel the light
You opened the door then you shut it right?
It's not about that but it's where I lie
In the memory of what's been
Brushstrokes cover images
A hollowness that I feel
Like gossamer on a spinning wheel
If i never met you
If i never met you
Broken glass in the back of the bathroom I cry and people dance
Broken glass in the back of the bathroom I cry and people dance
The brevity of my undoing
A snap of time has made me useless
Don’t worry
I have a deck of bad excuses
Four winters come and gone
Your prints still pressed on
Broken glass in the back of the bathroom I cry and people dance
Broken glass in the back of the bathroom I cry and people dance
In the memory of those nights
The perfect kiss at the perfect time
Rose colored thoughts
Red color lights
The burn of hurt is so stark white
The last of the good times are gone now
What I once was has changed somehow
I don’t wanna own what's mine
I can’t feel the light

Cowboy
02:40

The horses are coming now
Mars is burning I can hear the sound
I’m sorry baby for how it all went down
Departing is never easy
But I’m cowboy riding the freeway
I still love you
That never changed
I can’t escape the place that I was made
The velvet black it grows and it decays
I’ve been selfish and cruel and I’ve made too many mistakes
All the poison I drink is destroying me day after day
The horses are coming now
In a vibrant neon dark somehow
I’m riding the train and they follow underground
I can’t escape the place that I was made
The jagged truth the harshness of its waves
I’ve been selfish and cruel and I’ve made so many mistakes
Threw a rock at the storm
Planted hemlock and dug my own grave

Movies
03:46
|

|
Sitting in the silence never let me get too close
Images of us in the night run across the window
Like a movie
The saddest scene
Of you and me
The burnouts and the artists
The exclusive little parties
I find myself latching to their charm
Bitter cold of smoke breaks
The moment where our gaze meets
The warmth of liquor buzzing in our throats
Going to a show just to get lost in the dark
I still see snow on the ground from that night in the park
The band plays under strobe lights
Our skin like liquid moonlight
See it's not that hard
Wandering through gardens
Statues of mermaids haunt my thoughts
Glitter on our eyelids and shimmering of summer flush
Running through a maze of love we had and lost
Time burns away
It never stops
The highest cost
Leaving home just to circle the block
In a web of regret not knowing how you got caught
This painting is all I see
The world moves on but not me
Speared to this part
The movie keeps on playing
Its characters and lines I know by heart

Summer Song
03:37
|
|||
|
I was walking outside
When I saw the sky
Open up and swallow me whole
Wind and electric light
A storm of hatred and might
Screaming down the hole
I was enough then
So why not now
Why not now?
Summer fading all around
You pull me in and pull me down
The record plays until it stops
What was once a pretty thing
Turns to black and turns on me
I’ll find a way to make believe
I was enough then
so why not now
Why not now?
Deep in it with you
I try to play it cool
But I want you to want me too
It's more of a movement than a feeling right under my skin
Lighting flavored moments that burn me from within
I’m looking out that window and I still see that sky
Open up for me
The days are getting long with all the rain
But I
But I
I was enough then
So why not now

Forever
05:47
|

|
You’re feeling it now
Like you’ve never been
The color of the birds
Riding the wind
You were at a party
Then you were home
When you felt the pull of something
Beyond your own
It goes forever
It goes
You can be whatever
You know
You know
What's in your mind?
See a glistening skyline
A quiet ride at dark
Waiting to make your mark
You get to the party
Then you feel whole
Cause anything means something when your on your own
It goes forever
It goes
You can be whatever
You know
You know
An outline of teeth in the dark
Singing iridescent incoherent remarks
Looking out the window
Looking at the trees
How the world just splinters
When you look too deep
this empty pleasure
This empty bed
That empty feeling
Inside your head
Those empty moments with empty friends
Your empty anger full of consequence
But you dream of
A chrome car seaside
As you go for a summer drive
In the solitude on burnt ground
It dissipates what held you down

This is her best record since Actor. It is great to hear a more stripped-down record where her incredible guitar playing is front and center.

I Will Be the Sun for You
by Sally Dige
The brilliant Sally Dige returns with this sweeping new single that is grand in scope and centered on a radiant chorus.

Ottawa duo Paragon Cause craft songs that occupy the space between goth and dream pop, with sublime melodies drifting in guitar haze.

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
