Remember Saturdays
Remember celebrating
Feels so far
Everything you said
How you wanna be my friend
No wonder
I’ve been spending all this time out on my own
I wish you’d be the one to call when I’m alone
Haunt me like you want me
Always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be
Only what you show me
I’m always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be your baby
I see you in my dreams
I see you on my TV
Still so far
What would it take for you
What would I have to do
‘Cause I don’t want a ghost around
Yeah I’m done spending all this time out on my own
No I don’t need someone to call when I’m alone
Haunt me like you want me
Always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be
Only what you show me
I’m always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be your baby

Phone died
Need a ride
No life
The grass is greener on my mind
Outside
It’s on fire
Red sky
Hanging over clotheslines
I’m so over
Watching and waiting all the complaining
On my shoulders
Feeling the weight of it all
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe in something good
I wanna believe we’re gonna be fine
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna be going somewhere good
I wanna believe we’re not going down
Fast track
Computer crash
Life hack
Send away the old trash
I can’t
Look back
It’s too bad
We didn’t know what we had
I’m so over
Watching and waiting all the complaining
On my shoulders
Feeling the weight of it all
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe in something good
I wanna believe we’re gonna be fine
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna be going somewhere good
I wanna believe we’re not going down
I wanna believe in something
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna believe in something

Back when I was young
I was so impressed
By the way you lived without consequence
Now I notice things
Since you’ve been away
Guess my rose coloured glasses are starting to fade
You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Oh you’re just a person
You’re just a person like me
I looked up to you
Like you knew it all
No I never thought you’d become so small
Did you jump for joy
Did you feel so free
When the throne you were on fell apart with the dream
You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Ohohoh
You can say you did the best with what you had but that won’t last
Just admit you’re full of shit you never wanted any of this
I don’t blame you now that I can see
You’re just a person like me
You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Ohohoh
You can say you did the best with what you had but that won’t last
Just admit you’re full of shit you never wanted any of this
I don’t blame you now that I can see

How’s your house
How’s your living room
In the afternoon
With nothing to do
Is anyone calling you on the phone
Or are you all alone
With the dial tone
Oh time to let it all go
Find yourself a new show
Shouldn't be hard to take off again
I don’t wanna hear your lies
Don’t wanna to pray to your shrine
Don’t wanna fall for it all again
Over and over
I’ve tried to wash my mind
Don’t pull me under holy water
Holy water
Heavenly skies
Must be nice
To fly so high
Noone’s waiting in the afterlife
I’ve been here the whole time
I’ve been here the whole time
Oh time to let it all go
Find yourself a new show
Shouldn't be hard to take off again
I don’t wanna hear your lies
Don’t wanna to pray to your shrine
Don’t wanna fall for it all again
Over and over
I’ve tried to wash my mind
Don’t pull me under holy water
Holy water
No don’t pull me under holy water
Holy Water
Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under

The big bad wolf is coming
Can you hear him in the distance
Now he’s howling at the moonlight
He’ll show you everything you’re missing
I know it might seem scary
Maybe feels a little different
But it could be easy
If you cover up you’re footprints
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night
I could shrug my shoulders
I could sweep it all under the rug
Hide my money in the mattress
You might find it if you look hard enough
If you look hard enough
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night
No one showed me
How to love you
All I want is
To be near you
No one showed me
How to love you
All I want is
To be near you
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night
I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night

Black dress
Lavender and roses
I bet
Big laughs
All the friends I’ve chosen
What’s next
Tell a story or two
It might get you through
What you’ve gotta do
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean
Speak up
I can’t read your lips
Like this
Your words
Wrap me in all of it
Tongue twist
Honey while I’m here
Whisper in my ear
So I don’t disappear
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean
It’s late
Pack up your memories
It’s okay
Lay me down to sleep
I know we’re gonna meet
Swimming in a dream
I’m someone’s baby
I’m someone’s lover
I’m just a person
No holy water
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean

Ballsy Montreal, Québec
DEBUT EP "BISOU"
OUT APRIL 5th!
Ballsy is the new solo venture of Caveboy’s synth-bassist
Isabelle Banos. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of pop-punk, the raw teen angst of grunge, and the nostalgic glow of a summer day in the suburbs, Ballsy's music is an explosive fusion of infectious hooks, unfiltered emotion, and a captivating blend of indie rock and pop.

If you didn't know - I'm in this band! I'm so proud of this record - but since it came out right around the pandemic, it never got it's proper chance to shiiiiiine. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Sophomore Effort
by Tiffany Topol
Go creep the credits on this one heheeee. It doesn't get more nostalgic than this brilliantly raw yet dreamy record. An album for any fan of the 90's. Did you catch the secret Super Mario samples?
