Young/Old/Everything.In.Between, 2014
Written by Elliot Maginot
Maginot is a Québecois who nevertheless records in English. This song is ethereal synth-driven dream-pop, with acoustic accents and shoe-gaze half-mumbled vocals, all broken syntax in the style of early R.E.M.: "And when the wind blows soft and water away / Summer cast its charms / Please don't be fooled." The music is gentle and soporific, hypnotic through gentle undulating beats. As near as I can figure, the lyric is the declaration of someone facing dissolution, asserting he won't wait for his interlocutor, as brittle as they both are: "Cuz we'll always be as we were made / Fragile weak and small and overrated most of the time."
