about
This is a back catalog release.
Britpop and Oasis lovers will like this raw, acoustic, and honest track, one for anyone finding themselves between a fading marriage and forgotten or stifled personal dreams.
THIS TERRIBLE LIE addresses the feelings that surface when wanting to take your power back after years of shoving aside your true self and personal desires for the compromises that come with relationships, particularly one that has lost its shimmer, mutual appreciation, reciprocation, and respect.
Written and recorded 2009
(originally released in 2015 on Crude Folk album)

lyrics
I don’t want this life
I’ve got too much strife
To be a husband to a wife
Who don’t love me like once before.
I don’t wanna lie
But I ain’t gonna try
To make it all work all right
Cause I’ve got something else to live for.
I ain’t gonna lie
But I got someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
I got my own dreams
Some without you so it seems
Do ya know what that means?
If not, I will keep it so short...
I ain’t gonna lie
But I’ve been doing someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Interlude
I ain’t gonna lie
But I got someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
I’ve got too much strife
To be a husband to a wife
Who don’t love me like once before.
I don’t wanna lie
But I ain’t gonna try
To make it all work all right
Cause I’ve got something else to live for.
I ain’t gonna lie
But I got someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
I got my own dreams
Some without you so it seems
Do ya know what that means?
If not, I will keep it so short...
I ain’t gonna lie
But I’ve been doing someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Interlude
I ain’t gonna lie
But I got someone on the side
Well now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.
Now you know
So let me go
And we’ll end this terrible lie.

I saw Alvvays open for CourtneyBarnett 2016 'n checked out this album that week on Spotify, made me a fan for life. They make brilliant records if you ask me. Great vocals, songs, guitar parts.

The original release without the last two tracks. Sloan is hecka-talented, I'd say he's the next Paul McCartney. I'm grateful to find a young artist/producer so inspiring, good natured, and melodic.
