I remember walking home from high school
You would let me sleep on your floor
We were neighbours but you never asked me
What for, what for, what for
I used to run, run away
I never got very far
I used to leave, leave my body behind
I ran away in my mind
I remember writing you a letter
I never imagined you wouldn't respond
I remember kicking down your doorway
How long, how long, how long
I kept a secret for us
How many years did it last
In my mind every day was the same
I spent a lifetime not saying your name
This is the part that's too hard to explain
This is what I haven't got to yet
This is the part that's too hard to explain
I haven't always been at home, I haven't always been at home

It's About Time
about
While dreaming about houses that have been torn down and shows that happened in venues that don't exist anymore, Future Star explores the space between now and then with their upcoming album It's About Time!. A retrospective on seven years of songwriting, It's About Time! reminds us that a moment can go on infinitely, a memory can be shared, and something might have changed when you weren't looking.
Recorded and produced by long time friend Andromeda Monk, the album is at times minimalistic in texture with upright piano and voice, and at times lushly arranged with additions of synthetic strings, flutes and drum machine. Breathing naturally and comfortably, like a body at rest, it invites the listener to breathe naturally and comfortably, because everything is going to happen no matter what.
Maybe a song can be like a body, and their cells can replace themselves after a certain period of time. Maybe a story can be like a person that takes time to realise who they are. Maybe a city can be livable and you don't need to move to Montreal, or the suburbs.
Our cells turn over, the wick burns shorter, and maybe when the light hits just right and everything comes into focus, you will make the next best decision you've ever made. It's About Time! will be released on Mint Records in July 2024.
