daysormay - Holding My Tongue

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I been holding my tongue way too long
It’s got me going (change)
Purgatory’s not where I belong
But I was terrified of using free speech at all
Living in the fear of an open mouth with nothing to say at all
Are you alive? How can you see this and still smile?
Are you alive? How can you survive and not wonder why?

{Pre-Chorus}
Eyes under wool, it’s hard to see
Death on the sidewalks
I can’t breathe

{Chorus}
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning

{Verse 2}
Why does it always need to come to this?
Yeah I think action usually does more than sentiment
So don’t stop looking, don’t tap out, don’t go home
Because the longer this goes on there will be nowhere to go
So send your thoughts and prayers, words without action just move air
And we can find every reason not to care

{Chorus}
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning

{Bridge}
Too many post-life apologies, never really sorry, never really honestly
Nothing’ll ever change if we’re just standing by, waiting for the right time

{Chorus}
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Streetlights
Post-Life
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning

{Outro}
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning
Hi-fi screaming
Lo-fi meaning

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.
