daysormay - Running

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Are you here because you need it?
Are you here because you wanna?
Are you doing what you can or are you doing what you gotta?
Are you running for some meaning, are you running for a comma?
Are you trying for a reason, are you trying cause you oughta?

{Chorus}
'Cause I don't know why
I don't wanna try when everything is on the line, no relief in sight
'Cause if all that matters is how I turn out in the end
Then I got all this time to spend

{Verse 2}
Every day's a rental, so I'll be changing tempo
(Are you running, running?)
Hoping that the better part of me will make itself known
(Are you running, running, running?)
Breaking in, out, down, and through
(Are you running, running, running?)
Scared of what someone like me might do

{Chorus}
'Cause I don't know why
I don't wanna try when everything is on the line, no relief in sight
'Cause if all that matters is how I turn out in the end
Then I got all this time to spend

(Are you running, are you running?)
(Are you running, are you running?)

{Verse 3}
Are you here because you need it?
Are you here because you wanna?
Doing what you can or are you doing what you gotta?
Trying for a reason, are you trying cause you oughta?
Running for some meaning, are you running for a comma?

{Chorus}
'Cause I don't know why
I don't wanna try when everything is on the line, no relief in sight
'Cause if all that matters is how I turn out in the end
Then I got all this time to spend

Biography

edit bio

Eight years ago, three six-graders ignored all the other trappings of ascendant teenagers and dedicated themselves fully and feverishly to making music. Growing up in the serene town of Vernon, BC, daysormay not only mastered their songwriting and playing skills, but they also became production wunderkinds. Now 20 years old, in Vancouver, with a full album and EP release already in their arsenal, the members of daysormay (the English phonetic of the French “désormais” meaning “from now on”) have the wind at their backs with no intentions of slowing down.

With influences like Phoenix, Glass Animals and Portugal the Man., singer Aidan Andrews and twin brothers Carson and Nolan Bassett are carving out a unique space in modern alternative music and they have the online fanship to show it. It was a member of that dedicated following that tweeted at rising indie-pop artist Tessa Violet, and suggested daysormay as openers for her 2019 tour. After doing some quick online research about the band, Tessa was instantly hooked on the music, specifically their song “Role Model.” She brought daysormay out on the road and was so blown away that she subsequently introduced them to her team at T∆G Music, where Tessa herself holds a creative development position.

Full circle moment, daysormay will release their new EP through T∆G Music’s label, starting with “Role Model (ft. Tessa Violet)” this spring. The collaboration gives way to a high energy jam that is undeniably infectious. Insight into the whole EP, Role Model is a clear indication of how the band are unsatisfied to churn out simple three-minute rock standards. Audiences will hear how the band has continued to challenge their craft by incorporating pulsing drums, enchanting synths & guitars, unforgettable melodies and sharp-witted lyrics.

daysormay attack each new live show with a relentless energy of a band on the verge. Their history of stunning audiences is extensive, from at home in Canada, to headline shows in Europe, The Reeperbahn Festival in Germany, The Great Escape in England, Bumbershoot in Seattle and support slots on stages with Cold War Kids, Tessa Violet, Peach Pit, Walk Off The Earth and Arkells.
