lyrics

You were a ballerina
I was the box
You twirled around inside me
Until you picked the lock

I was, you were
Now I wonder who you are
We change so many times
But I was, you were, you were

You were assigned to my case
I was recently dead
They cordoned off my body
You traced my silhouette

I was, you were
Now I wonder who you are
We are so many things
But I was, you were, you were

I was a moth
You were the flame
When I flew straight into you
Who was to blame?

It's not easy pinning down
Who you are to me
I will be, I will be, I will be anything
If you will be, you will be, you will be everything

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
