about

Hours is the debut single by Welsh-Canadian duo Cymatica on Aztec Records. A sample of the unique songwriting and production that will unravel with two more singles and their debut EP in the coming months.

The understated production, simple in appearance but that reveals hidden gems on repeated listenings, carries a classic chart topping 80s sound reminiscent of Pat Leonard's True Blue.

The delicate but poignant vocals reminiscent of a young Kim Wilde or even fellow British act Chvrches, have a very personal and original tone. Carrying the song with no artificialities. This is what the band has to say about 'Hours'

'The song is about following your own path in life. For much of the world right now, lives are on pause and it feels like time is being taken away. As daunting as this can be, continue to live your truth.'

Time flies, but Cymatica has arrived to stay.

lyrics

Capture something that’s brought to life
Grabbing hold of that wheel
Crossing what’s known as the common life
Against the grain I remain

All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours

All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds
Up while I lay here collecting hours
Collecting hours

Always moving but I’m on the ride
Cuz I can only be real crossing
What’s known as the common life
Against the grain I’m still here
I will let you down, if you think I am
Just like the rest

Am I not allowed
The freedom of choice?
All I can be is choice
All I can be is choice

All I can be is myself
Gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours

All I can be is
Myself gotta stay on this path somehow
Moving slow as time speeds up
While I lay here collecting hours
Collecting hours
Collecting hours
