(Do The) Memory Lapse

from Moon Country by The High Dials

/

lyrics

It’s a way of life
I could teach you

Do dead futures crowd in on your mind uninvited?

Lose some sight, go selectively blind to old pictures

Let them go, leave it behind
Oh, because she’s far ahead and you’re forgotten

Memory lapse and be okay

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, because I see you caught, I see you helpless

Memory lapse and be okay
Oh future, future shining bright

Future clear this head tonight

Light up the places I select

Darken the places I reject

My head is in your hands
Don’t hold the torch so long you burn your fingers off

Clutching photos and old songs

I’ve seen you walking half-awake

Through the ruins of what’s gone

Like a vampire

Leave it behind
Oh, because she’s far ahead and you’re forgotten

Memory lapse and be okay

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh, because I see you caught, I see you helpless

Memory lapse and be okay
Oh future, future shining bright

Future clear this head tonight
And I don’t remember

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums. Their most recent album “Primitive Feelings” is a predatory summer mix of lo-fi grooves, acid rock guitars and razor-sharp humour. ... more
