-- Lyrics --
Woke up in a dark room,
I didn't ask for it
Now, three years have got behind me
Had to turn the page,
I didn't ask for it
Now, three years have got behind me
A few hours to believe
A few hours to achieve
But now I've got to leave
You pealed off your skin
I didn't ask for it
Now, I can see who you really are
I covered my eyes and lived in lies
I didn't ask for it
Now, I can see who you really are

-- Lyrics --
Grey morning, great afternoon, woke up in a sad tune. I put all my hopes on something impossible, now my heart is in ruin. Do me a favour, don't call me up. Speaking of the devil interrupting my blues. Taking me out of my routine and then cutting the news. You can't be part time lover, you've got to beat it till it dies. Put me through some more. No, I can't breathe when you are there. It's obviously you who's on top and in control. I don't feel blessed or particularly lucky by your side. It's just something that keeps me alive. There is no other you. How many stranger will I have to do. Words I can't even say. Emotions I wish I could feel. I running after something you only find when you don't look for.
All I had to say was said but not necessarily heard. As usual straight up was your head with my words six feet over it. You can't get over it. Do you ever get tired of it? Positive plus positive equals negative. It takes days just to return a phone call. Season of change? That doesn't excuse you at all. I got to know who you were. I know where you keep your house, car key, just tell me where your heart key is. Now days, I find it hard to be me. Beat me till I find a way to really be me so you care. Show you how much of a nightmare your independence is. This is a game for kids. Who's the last one you did? You've got a better bid? There is an other me. Remember that one time you guys really got to meet? You looked destabilized, unfortunately surprise. Is there a bad reason to be in a good mood.
Even though, you feel like you've got to know
Leave it all there

Too far into

-- Lyrics --
I can't forget, we didn't even kiss
We didn't even come close
I want it so bad, feel my hands
My face is numb
I've got to stay
Can't forget
Maybe it was me
Maybe it was you
Sometime nails are pushed way too far into
Let's keep our heads far from hearts
Let's love instead and find a way
Can't let go
I want it
we can find way

He knows

-- Lyrics --
He's the kind of guy who always keeps a safe in case shit drops right in his face and he knows how it feels. Now, tell me. Do these things ever get easier to deal with? You can see it in his eyes and hear it when he speaks. Questioning the world. The way he doesn't know what's coming up. When in fact, nobody does, it's just that some of us are better at faking it.
And he knows how to love
He knows it by heart
How is it that it's so hard for most of us to open up
He's giving everything he got, he's always there on the other end of the line, he's the good friend to lean on and he needs it back. How can you equally give back to someone who's giving so much. And it's amazing how in a world like this you can hate your brother for that one time he tripped on that exception you won't forgive. And the only way you'll grow is by forgiving.
And he knows how to love
He knows it by heart
How is it that it's so hard for most of us to open up

Jesse Mac Cormack Montreal, Québec
SOLO is the sound of that transformation, recorded over the course of a year and a half, marked by its hardships but also its relief. Across 10 rippling tracks, the singer summons a sonic world that's razor-edged and intimate, influenced by the textured electronics of James Blake, Caribou and SUUNS. Drum machines stutter under blooms of synths; curses float below swirls of loving sound. ... more
