about

Sometimes you get what you want, only to discover it’s not what you need. It is rarely an easy process to realize that it's best for everyone involved to move on, but it is important for closure to know that you "Gave It A Chance". This hard-stepping house track drips with anxiety care of its moaning bassline, pensive pads, and splorking synth leads, its unsettled feeling hammered home by a droning hook that drops like the raindrops in "Sit Down, Stand Up" from Radiohead's Hail to the Thief.

lyrics

I want you
till I know
I got you held tight
I’m done when
you show me
I got you all night

I think what
I want is
more wholesome than this
I’m sad when
I’m lonely
but with you I’m vicious

Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance

I want you
‘till I see
there’s better out there
The walls start
to close and
I know I can’t bare
The thought that
you’ll hurt me
so I push you away
I want what
I cant have
so dont leave please stay

Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance

Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance

I’m kind till
I’m bored and
the pressure builds up
Expect something more and
the end will be rough
Give one
more day one
more time then we’re done
Now that it’s over
after you I run

Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance

Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance
Gave it a chance

Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance
Want what we don’t got and toss what we have
Owe me for nothing we gave it a chance

about

Elba Vancouver, British Columbia

Elba is a collaboration between producer/engineer Dark Arps (Jon Bierman) and singer/songwriter amsii (Amber Sawicki). Sawicki's orations elate the body and soul, while her lyrics tap into the zeitgeist of urban decay presently unfolding amidst late-stage capitalism. Her vision imbues Bierman's technically sophisticated techno-tinged breakbeats with an elevated pop sensibility. ... more
