Biography

Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidental's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. They spent the next few years honing an atmospheric rock sound in their native Toronto and the dynamic was great. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 and introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think, Charles Spearin, was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, and Emily Haines (Metric). By the time their guitar-fueled sophomore effort, You Forgot It In People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective. Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff, and Feist fulfilled the band's bombastic, orchestrated sound, and critics loved it. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts, and plans for a stateside release on Arts & Crafts was slated for the following summer. A surprise, however, coincided with those plans in spring 2003 when Broken Social Scene won a Juno for Alternative Album of the Year for You Forgot It In People.

    Lyrics
    All these people drinking lover's spit
    They sit around and clean their face with it
    And they listen to teeth, to learn how to quit
    Tied to a night they never met
    You know it's time

    Lyrics
    We got a minefield of crippled affection
    All for the borrowed mirror connection
    That's why I'm leaving this spoken protection
    I'm a romance addict so that I can confess that
    I get world sick every time I take a step

    Lyrics
    You come in, check my time
    You got fornication crimes
    I've seen your hope on television
    Where you've been, you were my word
    They've got tricycles in skirts

    Lyrics
    Then when you let it
    You asked for nothing
    Why don't you share it
    All of the time you live
    There's something out there

    Lyrics
    It's a shoreline
    And it's half speed
    It's a cruel world and
    And it's time
    And you're walking away
