lyrics

Patience I say
Patience will grow
With a little hard work I know
All in good time
Try in good faith
Then it’ll start to show
How many nights
How many sighs
Go with that ebb and flow?
Heart with my faith
All done for love
Learning to take it slow

Bitter my mind
Bitter sometimes
Hoping to be someone
Saving some face
Mask tied on tight
Smiling fake like scum
Choice in my hand
Choking on pride
So easily undone
Save me some grace
I do it for love
Knowing our day will come

Come along, come along
Someday soon we’ll be gone
Let the light keep me warm
From the shadows that mean to harm
Come along, come along
Let my light keep us warm
Feel the rush in my lungs
As we are standing strong

Sweetness my end
Sweetness you shine
Brave as you make the climb
Timid at first
In wonder at all
Victim to hope’s design
Breathtaking ease
Feeling so high
Unable to define
Arms open wide
Fall from the sky
Taking it as a sign

about

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
