In «Sidecar», one of the songs on Kathleen Edwards’s new album «Voyageur», the Canadian singer-songwriter confesses that she has been feeling lost for a long time. Although Edwards reveals her vulnerable side in the lyrics, it’s actually the most upbeat song on the album, capturing the giddy feeling of new love in a mix that echoes the Cranberries or even Metric. It’s the song that shows she’s found the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sidecar
Wake up! Wake up! I want to take you
To all the places I thought we could
I was feeling so lost for so long
I was feeling so lost for so long
I didn’t know what to do
Sit up! Sit up! Sit up! I went and made you
Breakfast in bed, coffee and juice
I was feeling so lost for so long
You were feeling so lost for so long
We didn’t know what to do
You and I will be sidecars
There to chase down the hard stuff
There to chase down the hard stuff
Wait up! Wait up! You let me show you
All of the monsters I was holding on to
So get up! Get up! Get up it’s gonna be good
Cause you all know what nothing nothing no one owes you
You were feeling so lost for so long
I was feeling so lost for so long
You were feeling so lost for so long
We didn’t know what to do
You and I will be sidecars
There to chase down the hard stuff with you
There to chase down
You and I will be sidecars
There to chase down the hard stuff with you
There to chase down the hard stuff
