My Kind Of Homesick
Released June 5th 2026
Recorded at Fly Away Recording + Media Studio Montreal
Behind the track…
This song was released while the others were still being recorded. It was recorded first because it felt like the simplest one, less elaborate.
The scary thing with releasing before the album is over is that you know there is so much you’ll want to change in that very song, but it’ll be too late. This is maybe what makes this one the most honest of all – a bridge between a demo and a full-fledged studio production.
Lyrics
My kind of homesick (back home for now)
We may have been apart for quite a while
But I’ve never been real distant in my mind
Sometimes I feel like home is what defines
That little fantasy you call a happy life
The smell of your coffee snakes up through the stairs
Wakes me up soaking wet wondering what led me here
Each time I sense I’ve worn out my welcome
I slip through the door when lights have turned off
Chorus
(I’m) back home for now, long as I can bear the chains
It’s true last time was brief, maybe I’ll change
Back home for now, but I can see the mirror stressing
The walls that swallow me – I just wanna scream
This comforting home, is the dream of another
The more I stick around, I sense him getting closer
Smoking, quiet, in a chair on the porch
Waiting until i’ll step out the door
When I see you try that makes me cry
(Yeah) You open your arms and I’m back each time
You swallow your pride/ then say it’s alright
Why don’t you kick me out, you’ll be fine
Bridge
Yeah I know he’s no more
but the walls saw your love
My kind of homesick strikes me when I’m here
Not when I’m gone, wandering in the streets
(I’m) back home for now, long as I can bear the chains
It’s true last time was brief, maybe I’ll change (décalé, parlé)
Back home for now, but I can see the mirror stressing
The walls that swallow me – I just wanna scream
Post Chorus
(I’m) back home for now, but I could not forget the chains
This was the last time, I’ll never change
Back home for now, tomorrow I’ll be far from here
Why don’t you follow me?
Outro
Come out with me, see what we’ll be, roam the world, let’s be free
I’m pretty sure if you give it try,
you and I will grow back to life
Sell this house, burn it down, let your comfort behind
Our graves in a junkyard, side by side (after all)
I’d live this life twice, oh
If you’d answer my call
Part Of His Dream
Released August 28th 2026
Recorded at Fly Away Recording + Media Studio Montreal
Behind the track…
This track was not planned for the album. There was enough material with the others. But when we noticed there wasn’t a single song under the 4 minutes mark, it was a warning. The project was missing the most elementary format needed to reach a broader audience.
I quickly wrote a track that was voluntarily shorter. Barely made it below 4 minutes – getting straight to the point is still a skill to learn.
Lyrics
Part Of His Dream
Baby you never show it
But I think I know
Problems we fail to solve
Swell and explode
I never saw the signs
Love is blind
Even if you’re not mine
You won’t see me cry
Time will tell
Who’s to blame
Chorus
Tell me the words you whisper to him
So I can steal a part of his dream
I’ve been stumbling and cursing and begging for some kind of miracle
Tell me if we can go through this thing
Or is he a part of your dream
We can build from the rubble, I’m patient and humble, it’s possible
Maybe it’s not my fault
But what’s the point?
Trying to settle scores
I’d better go
Heard myself shout in hate
Then it’s too late
Baby I’m so ashamed
I’ll be on my way
Chorus
Tell me the words you whisper to him
So I can bite a part of his dream
I’ve been stumbling and cursing and begging for some kind of miracle
Tell me if we can go through this thing
Or is he a part of your dream
We can build from the rubble, I’m patient and humble, it’s possible
Time will tell
Who’s to blame

Behind the track…
This is the oldest song of the album – although they were all written during the same summer.
Mike & I takes us into this nauseous middle ground, between a dark sad story, a call for hope and an uncomfortable confession. An intriguing story unfolds as the melodic layers build up and Ary Mass’ voice progressively shakes of balance.
Lyrics
Mike & I
Mike has a problem
Guess what’s wrong
He’s just a dreamer
Mike had it all
Mike had a lover
Well, she’s gone
Man it’s such a burden
Love burns us all
Last Monday, he found himself alone
I was out, I didn’t hear the phone
Chorus
If you’re breathing, don’t blow out the candle
Live and wait, love is everywhere
Do you hear, as I cry my pain?
I was late, but you know I care
Now, he’s made a change
Since he’s out
Mike talks and shares
But makes his trouble mine
Misery made its way
Deep down in my head
Tossed my shield away
Poisoning my veins
Yesterday, the moment I got home
Saw the call, but didn’t take the phone
Chorus
If you’re leaving, don’t blow out the candle
Such a waste, love was everywhere
Do you hear, as I cry my pain?
Though I failed, did you know I cared?
