about

Moonhead, unmade bed, Melancholia, You Are Water: July Talk goes aquatic with new single "I Am Water," in which the band grapples with our human nothingness, in a good way!, and finds abundance in the ancient elements. Like all true Scorpios, "I Am Water" is ruled by a vast force of emotion, just as the tide is controlled by the moon. "I Am Water" celebrates moving our bodies, shaking off the angst and worry and feeling good in ourselves for a few solid minutes. We are blood, we are flesh, we are stardust, we are water. When we face the cosmic improbability of it all, we dance.

lyrics

Late night
It's dark and stormy
You start to sparkle before me
You talk, I am unable
Find you on my kitchen table

You are water
You are blood
Just like a moon
You bring in the flood
Yes there are fires and there is death
And there is dying where the fire is met
But you are water and you are good
And you are evil and misunderstood
In the fire after death
There is living where the fire is met

She said
She said the fire is red

See through my eyes
All the specks of dust collide
Did you know that this was all underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
But we coincide

We sit under the sun moon
To think this will all be gone soon
You ask me "how old is this sand?"
Making a dove with your left hand

I am nothing
Nothingness
Not more important than anything else
I am ready to accept and unable to begin to forget
We are nothing
Nothingness
Never settle for anything less

She said
She said the water is red

See through my eyes
All the specks of dust align
Did you know that this was once underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
But we coincide

I know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't know and I Know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't own

I know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't know and I Know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't own

You can't own the water
You can't stop the flood
You care for the water
Or run for your life
You can't own the water
You can't stop the fight
You can't catch a fire
So run for your life

Did you know that this was once underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
Don't it make you feel the ice start to shatter?
Does it really mean you don't really matter?
Don't really matter, don't really matter
Or does it mean you feel you don't really matter?
What would you rather?
We don't decide

about

July Talk image

July Talk Toronto, Ontario

July Talk continues to rise with purpose and poise. Their churning and fiercely physical performances make spaces hiss and hum, spit and seethe in glorious, artful abandon. The band has also grown in their roles as advocates of an urgent and fundamental music industry recalibration, through curatorial partnerships with festivals and by defining their own parameters for safer spaces at rock shows. ... more
