about

‘Brave in My Arms’ is a song about finding fulfillment within yourself in the months after the end of a long term relationship. The demo was recorded at an AirBnb in Los Angeles in the spring of last year while we were on tour with fanclubwallet. Other members of the band took a day trip to the Malibu coastline while Eric opted to stay in and write. Months later, we finished the song together at our home in Ottawa, ON.

Lyrics

I don’t wanna be here
I’m sorry I’m making that clear
I’m done doing my best
Impression of everyone else
I don’t wanna appear
As though I’m free of fear
But I hear it’s good for my health
Making verbal love to myself

So I’m brave in my arms
Braver than I’ve been in any other arms
Before today
Hey hey hey
Oh I’m brave in my arms
Braver than I’ve been in any other arms
Before today

She’s throwing stones
At the windows of his heart
But he’s not home
He’s going cold
She’s searching for a spark
Amongst his coals

I wanna disappear
Into those that I hold dear
But I can’t hide from myself
Behind somebody else

So I’m brave in my arms
Braver than I’ve been in any other arms
Before today
Hey hey hey
Oh I’m brave in my arms
Braver than I’ve been in any other arms
Before today

She’s throwing stones
At the windows of his heart
But he’s not home
He’s going cold
She’s searching for a spark
Amongst his coals

She’s throwing stones
At the windows of his heart
But he’s not home
He’s going cold
She’s searching for a spark
Amongst his coals
