City Lights

I had this premonition
I won’t degrade to superstition
Theres some things that you just feel
Can’t turn away till they are real
I’ve had this dream before
Theres a great wide world waiting out my door
A million places shining oh so bright
Are calling me into the night
And those city lights keep turning me around
And I don’t know which ways up or down
Those city lights are bringing me to my knees
And I am found, I am found
I had this premonition
And all I got to go on is intuition
To lead me where I truly want to be
I hope you’re going there with me
Cause those city lights are turning me around
And I don’t know which ways up or down
Those city lights keep bringing me to my knees
And I am found, I am found
Won’t stop till it’s all gone
Gonna pack it up and give it away
Livings easy without all the weight
And theres nowhere to go back to now
Bu-bu-bye bye Barjinder
I’ll be sitting by the Willamette River
I’ll be sweating in the Mohave Desert
I’ll be sleeping in my car come September
Sleeping in my car
Long gone
Gone gone gone

Hear Me Out

Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long ride
But hope’s alive in the skyline
Ooo
Won’t you tell me what you’re thinking of
Every time you’re on your own route
Inception, conception, was wandering on
Can you tell me in your own way
Let me tell you what I wouldn’t say
Did I mention I had my back turned
Sun shines me blue
I did assume
Hey are you listening
I’m trying to understand
What you on about
Just hear me out
Just hear me out
Ooo
Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long ride
But hope’s alive in the skyline
Looking for a place to hide away
Work another year to loose that face
Deception, protection and security
Kinda hard to get a read on you
Even the right things are what I should do
Feeling tension seeing my walls burned
I’m shinin’ blue
What can I do
I’m trying to understand
Hey are you listenin’
But I’m bleeding doubt
Just hear me out
Just hear me out
And its alright if we ain’t on the same side
See through both eyes
And you know what this feels like
Take me outside
We’re on a hunt for a good life
Could be a long ride
But hope’s alive in the skyline
Ooo

Some days you get that feeling
It eats you up inside
You’ve been misunderstood
The truth is buried in lies
Why bother taking time
If they won’t change their mind
No need to justify
Its done, so whats it to yah?
Oh oh don’t get emotional
You’ve got to ride it out
You’ve got a long way to go
Relax you’ve got it under control
With every mile that passes
You start to understand
What once looked like a mountain
Can fit inside of your hand
It bares a quiet sadness
And now and then you sigh
You know you took your chances
Scars serve to remind
Oh oh don’t get emotional
You’ve got to ride it out
You’ve got a long way to go
Relax you’ve got it under control
Now it’s said and done
They have our recognition
But the rhythm is right
Et le vent se leve
We’re running ahead
And though the picture can’t get any clearer
Trouble will come around
Try and get you down
Oh oh don’t get emotional
Oh oh don’t get emotional
You’ve got to ride it out
You’ve got a long way to go
You’ve got to ride it out
You’ve got a long way to go
Relax you’ve got it under control

Sea of Numbers

Swimming in a sea of numbers
Pushing me backwards and forwards
No I know I don’t know the answer
No I know I don’t
Baby got a back hand from the ocean
Still shocked from the force of the motion
What were you thinking
Who you been talkin’ to
Blue skinned, your bloody toes
Shivering down to the bone
Rising up, shrouded in evening light
And you wanna stop drownin’
But you can’t stop divin’ in
Swimming in a sea of numbers
Pushing me backwards and forwards
No I know I don’t know the answer
No I know I don’t got all the answers
Jot down, saved by the bell curve
XYs getting their life served up on a porcelain plate
Are they living, or waiting to break
Strung out, open the door
A thousand letters come crashing to the floor
Wanting to commiserate
Thats alright, but not today
What felt good from the start
Can just tear someone apart
Swimming in a sea of numbers
Pushing me backwards and forwards
No I know I don’t know the answer
No I know I don’t got all the answers
It’s seventy miles till home
The destinations always in change
You can argue how much or how long
But if you ask why the answers the same
I’m swimming in a sea of numbers
Pushing me backwards and forwards
No I know I don’t know the answer
No I know I don’t got all the answers
Swimming in a sea, in a sea of numb
Pushing me backwards, backwards and forth
Swimming in a sea, in a sea o numb
Pushing me backwards, backwards and forth
No I know I don’t know the answer
Now I know nobody got the answer
Yeah I know I’ll never have the answer
No I know I don’t got all the answers

Jitensha Montreal, Québec
Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
