about

With clattering piano, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar chunks and a stomping horn section, the new Fort Frances single is a wake-up call for the information age. Atwood Magazine describes the song as "a lyrical journey of endless news cycles and social media feeds; of theoretically 'massive' stories that surrender to the next day’s trend overnight; of a deluge of push notifications, emails and texts."

lyrics

Take a second
Take two
Do a double take
Let your brain unglue
Tie the minutes up
Like the laces on your shoes
With a double knot
To make sure you stay confused
I been praying for good luck
But the world don’t seem to give a fuck
About which way is up
Or which was is down
The rabbit hole
Better known as your soul
I’ve been losing sleep
Over what I cannot control
My lord
There’s always a little bit further to go

Well I never
Seem to keep it together
I dream a lot about forever
But at the end of the day
I wake up wondering whether
All my debts and my debtors
Will ever read this letter
About forgiving, forgetting and moving along

They say you got to think fast
In these fast times
But the faster you move
The sooner you fall in line
And the harder it becomes
To change your mind
Your business
Mind your step
Mind your manners
Take a breath
Let it slow
Now do your best
To imagine a tomorrow where you can lay to rest
All the worries about win or lose
All the headlines of fake news
All the walls we never managed to break through
Take a second
Take two

Well I never
Seem to keep it together
I dream a lot about forever
But at the end of the day
I wake up wondering whether
All my debts and my debtors
Will ever read this letter
About forgiving, forgetting and moving along

If all I ever knew was wrong
How do I know where to go from here?

With Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim) at the production helm, Alio stretches well beyond Fort Frances' Americana roots to unlock the potential that’s been building for the past two years with louder guitars, jubilant horns and dueling rhythm sections. ... more
