lyrics

I woke from a lovely dream
I was rescuing you and I from a thief
In the gold of a dying summer day
There is no such thing as now
Only what was and what will be
Where do we live with certainty? Tell me

Cause here tonight I see the fading coals
Yeah they go on burning for so long
On and on they glow
What kind of fire makes them strong?

Sick with the old fire I still burn

I was chasing a holy ghost
It brought me to some stormy coast
There to be infected with more need
And then I found my way back home
And I’m swallowing pills
And I’m casting stones
And I’m making believe
I’ve got plans to get well
But it’s a hard sell

Cause here tonight I see the distant stars
Yeah, they send their light out for so long
I’m a firefly in a jar
I can only burn here for so long

Sick with the old fire I still burn

about

The High Dials Montréal, Québec

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
