lyrics
Sliver of Truth
A sliver of truth has come against the grain
And everything that remains will never be the same
One sliver of truth digging under the skin
And once it works its way in
You’ll never get it back out again
In the beginning
There was a place and time
Some new idea I kept in my mind
The same material to make a new kind
Now at another day’s end
It’s a different place and a different time
All I thought I knew now I know was never mine
The same material to make a different kind
A sliver of truth has come against the grain
And everything that remains will never be the same
One minuscule part of knowledge in your heart
Is still awake at night
To bring the flame to light
I have tried to be stronger
But I can’t make this any longer
Doesn’t matter now it’s too late to begin
One sliver of truth
Just a little nugget but it grows and grows
Now it’s a mountain and nobody knows
If there’s a way around or how high it goes
One sliver of truth
Come against the grain
One sliver of truth
Never be the same

Brenna has been one of the greatest voices in Alberta for a long time, but this album is unbelievable. Possibly the best use of acoustic guitar and vocals since Pink Moon. Listen and find out. Jom Comyn
This is an absolute ripper, a new masterpiece for a band that has already put out so much great stuff in a short period. If there is a "Calgary sound", this is a mountain peak of that. Jom Comyn
In addition to great work with other bands, Matthew's ambient/drone stuff is what dreams are made of. Track 3 of this album, "Listen", features a sample of my very own "Being in Love". Mega honoured. Jom Comyn
The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend.
This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too. firecat666
The latest from Former Lives is packed with utterly triumphant, pulse-quickening songs that summon the best of ’80s New Wave. Bandcamp New & Notable May 21, 2022
