about
Gemini is a song about duality, as the astrological sign is known for. I was captivated by this person, yet they were giving me whiplash from switching between versions of themselves. Ultimately, I had to admit to myself that maybe I had the same tendency. I wrote this song while reflecting after the fact at a residency in the mountains in Banff, Alberta. This is also where I met and began collaborating with cosmic connection Ben Sloan, one of the producers who worked on the song with me. After the residency was cut short by the pandemic, we continued to work long distance, sending harp, drums and synth tracks back and forth. I then finished recording the song here in Montreal with the amazing Marc-André Gilbert, adding dreamy Mellotron chords and lush vocal layers
lyrics
-- Lyrics --
I was sitting tight in the passenger’s seat
You always driving me around to recklessly
Felt like I was in a music video
Caught between the two
How was I to know?
And you’re asking if I feel alone
And I say:
I feel a lot of things; bad, bad feelings
Saw the photos it sent me reeling
But you’re a gemini, it’s your season
ou’re a gemini, you’re a gemini
It’s your birthday, I’m not invited
Now you’re acting all high and mighty
But you’re a gemini, can’t help but switch sides
And I’m just the same
Caught me at a bad time, always running away
And you my dream girl coming to save the day
Call a spade a spade
Acting like I don’t know
Too afraid to move and too proud to show
And you’re asking if I feel alone
And I say:
I feel a lot of things; bad, bad feelings
Saw the photos it sent me reeling
But you’re a gemini, it’s your season
You’re a gemini, you’re a gemini
It’s your birthday, I’m not invited
Now you’re acting all high and mighty
But you’re a gemini, can’t help but switch sides
And I’m just the same, I guess I lied
Calling me on and then you’re turning away
Ride off into the dark, off into the rain
Cause you’re on and you’re off and you’re on and you’re off
And I’m always on
And I say
I feel a lot of things, bad, bad feelings
Saw the photos it sent me reeling
But you’re a gemini it’s your season
Try to patch it up, it’s not healing
It’s your birthday, I’m not invited
Now you’re acting all high and mighty
But you’re a gemini can’t help but switch sides
And I’m just the same
