about

In this song we mostly write about myself being too sensible of a man to fit in most “masculin roles” (ridiculous as that may sound but that’s the point). I evoque the fact that being sensible IS OK, specially for men that are born in very sexist societies where expressing their feelings (like crying in public or being “soft”) can be considered as non “masculin” (again, as ironic and stupid as it sounds).

Accepting and understanding different feminist points of view has actually helped me to observe myself in a much clearer way as a man. It has been amazing to be freed from “manly pressure” and to acknowledge the crisis most men are living today, sinking in the “in between” of what society expects from them. It’s a big subject and why not throw in a song that talks about this?

Please support the awareness about being sensible using the tag :

#beingsensibleisok

The art cover of the single represents my father as a kid, playing the organet in a band he had with his brother and friends called the King Cats.
They made a logo which a friend of them at the time (Carlos Herrera) designed. This inspired us to take my father from the back of the logo and put him up as the main image of this song because he showed me a lot about being sensible. At the end, I want this image to give courage to every person that is afraid to demonstrate their feelings and to help them acknowledge their sensiblity and see it as a positive part of themselves.

Enjoy!

lyrics

INTRO

VERSE 1

Hop on and stay, stay with me
Hop on and stay
I got nothing to lose on you
It’s true

VERSE 2

Hop on and stay, stay with me
Hop on and stay
You got nothing to lose on me
Can’t you see


CHORUS
Oh I don’t wanna know
I’m too sensible
I don’t wanna know
Oh oh oh

BRIDGE
In my little house peeking out the window
Looking down on everything that scares me
I’ve been running through the world and the seven seas
Searching for somebody that could understand
Me and my sensibility
Me and my sensibility

VERSE 1

Hop on and stay, stay with me
Hop on and stay
I got nothing to lose on you
It’s true

VERSE 2

Hop on and stay, stay with me
Hop on and stay
You got nothing to lose on me
Can’t you see

PRE - CHORUS
That I don’t wanna know
I’m too sensible
I don’t wanna know
Oh oh oh

CHORUS
In my little room And the rain is falling
Lucky I was born in the month of May
I got plenty work to do
by telling myself that
being “very sensible is ok”

BRIDGE
Everyone should know that
Crying it is alright
With your sensibility and
Everybody knows that
We all need some love hey
Loving is the only way

TRUMPET SOLO

PRE - CHORUS
That I don’t wanna know
I’m too sensible
I don’t wanna know
Oh oh oh

CHORUS
I’ve been running through
the world and the seven seas
Searching for somebody
now don’t stop me

OUTRO
I’ve been running through the world and the seven seas
Searching for somebody that could understand
Me and my sensibility
Me and my sensibility
