about

A contemplation of your station in life, a love letter to the present, and a true bop; Whiplash Girlchild’s newest single "The Source (Hold On)" is a piece worthy of your attention. As a follow up to their latest single 55mm, the band demonstrates again their ear for blending catchy riffs, punchy drums, and poetic storytelling. The guttural rasp of lead vocalist Lucas Tennen seems almost unhinged, were it not chained to the ground by group chorus. In "The Source" the band's punk drive meets a songwriter’s fervour, presenting a new and unique voice in Canadian rock music that will leave you humming that chorus.

lyrics

Lyrics-
In the fertile crescent we were liking it a lot
My body’s at disposal when the weather’s getting hot
But on second thought
Hold on to what you got

Then everyone decides that they would like to settle down
Moving out to places where there’s nobody around
You can wed, but of course
There’s divorce

Drop back badly, it’s the way we are
But look at us go!
Flown so far!

No we (we)
don’t (don’t)
Make enough to give for free (we)
Don’t (Don’t)
Make enough to give
On second thought
Hold on to what you got

Many sit and contemplate which thinkers think are right
The origins of questions can keep you till the light
There is pain, there is force
Of all sorts

I once was plagued by questions but she liberates me
Let me at the source in the back seat of her jeep
So on second thought
Hold on to what you got

Drop back badly, it’s the way we are
But look at us go! Flown so far!

No we (we)
don’t (don’t)
Make enough to give for free (we)
Don’t (Don’t)
Make enough to give

What good is any truth if it cannot keep you sane?
On the night for a time, look back from where you came
Oh, look back from where you came

No we (we)
don’t (don’t)
Make enough to give for free (we)
Don’t (Don’t)
Make enough to give
