Name: Nothing Lasts
Duration: P00H04M58S
Description: You only live once, and all the answers to your questions lie within you. They’re waiting to be discovered. All the time we spend within ourselves looking for answers is never wasted, it will always be rewarded one way or another. Yesterday is already gone and tomorrow may never come. We only have now left to be present and to grow as a human being.

You only live once, and all the answers to your questions lie within you. They’re waiting to be discovered. All the time we spend within ourselves looking for answers is never wasted, it will always be rewarded one way or another. Yesterday is already gone and tomorrow may never come. We only have now left to be present and to grow as a human being.

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

I wanna die in a place like this
Where the mind and the matter coexist
And make best use of the time we have
You can never take back the harm that’s been done
But you can certainly think about the one that’s about to become
From what I know, time spent in the depth
Never goes to waste, no

Don’t love me back
‘Cause nothing lasts
Nothing returns

There’s something real
It’s not what you think, oh no
It’s what you feel

It’s all inside waiting for the day you let it shine
And as long as you keep the faith
You won’t let a single drop go to waste
No, you won’t let a single drop go to waste

about

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
