Notes
Written and recorded in Toronto as we were mixing the record, this one was shot "from the hip" as Gary would say. Ben Pelchat and I collaborated quickly to create the soundscape. The lyrics were written in a flash. This album is essentially my musical travelogue from the past 5 or so years. Welcome to bigredbutton! Has a Middle Eastern flavor that I believe was inspired by Kensington Market in Toronto where we recorded it.
Lyrics
I got pillows
Under my eyes
Weeping willows
Cover the sky
Bigredbutton
Push me alright
Good misfortune
Give me your sign
Laugh just to keep from crying
Laugh just to keep from crying (crying)
Laugh just to keep from crying
Oh you'll never know
You look lovely
When you cry
I feel ugly
But I don't know why
Laugh just to keep from crying
Laugh just to keep from crying (crying)
Laugh just to keep from crying
Oh you'll never know
Oh you'll never know
You'll never know
Oh you'll never know
Dirty idols
Dusty minds
Swollen egos
Simple pride
Laugh just to keep from crying
Laugh just to keep from crying
Laugh just to keep from crying
Oh you'll never know
Oh you'll never know
Oh you'll never know
Oh you'll never know
You'll never
You put your finger on the bigredbutton
