This track tackles the fragility of relationships, their ephemeral nature, and the importance of honesty to respect yourself and the other.
lyrics
-- Lyrics --
You, me, blowing in the wind, holding on a thread
You knew I had seen it all around way before I said
Hold it back, I’m beginning to think you’re too far ahead
Please, please don’t get me wrong but I’m starting to be scared
No, I can’t mend the pieces of your heart
But I can tell ya, I would stay if, I was meant to
Spend the only moment that we got
Set fire to my body on the spot
And I’m sure you understand
That I, you know, I can’t pretend
If there’s no love go, I leave
One shot before I leave for good to the underground
No promise that I will ever get there safe and sound
Break, break my heart, make love to my soul, tell me what you found
Please, please leave when I think we had enough and it’s bringing us down
No, I can’t mend the pieces of your heart
But I can tell ya, I would stay if, I was meant to
Spend the only moment that we got
Set fire to my body on the spot
And I’m sure you understand
That I, you know I can’t pretend
If there’s no love go, I leave
No
Never gonna make it
Break your heart, make love to your soul
If there’s no love go, I leave
I leave

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
Un excellent album de lo-fi hiphop qui m'a souvent laissé chanter certains refrains au travail sans m'en rendre compte. J'suis fier que cet album vienne du Québec <3 Alex Jesus
The Besnard Lakes return with their first new LP in four years, full of the same mystery and wonder on which they have built their name. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2020
The Besnard Lakes are back with a new 12", and a new single. Expansive and psychedelic, much like the band's previous work. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2016
J'avais vu son dernier spectacle au FME en 2021, mais j'ai l'impression que ça passé comme une étoile filante! Le son était incroyable! Va falloir qu'il le refasse. C'était tellement magique. Lavinie Cloutier
