"Canals” Lyrics:
Bitch you look so damn freaked
You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you can’t speak
You wanna scream “f*ck the police” but the words are gettin stuck behind your teeth
Yeah i’m an outlaw baby with a southpaw view
Like how can you stomach the sh*t that they do,
Just ask Pussy Riot what those girls went through
And It feels like someone took a crack pipe
Lit it with a torch light
And threw it on a gas line
Yeah and there is fire everywhere
Watch what they’re doing to you
So tonight I’m gonna travel to a past life
And take out all the bad guys and signal with a flashlight
Like catch me if you dare
I don’t f*cking care
If you f*cking care
No one’s gonna live forever so you better be prepared
I still want a love, love with my whole heart
Even though the world is slowly tearing me apart
Do you feel better now
Have you settled up your score
Cause everything looks so strange
But I know nothing has changed
Since the last time I asked you “what are we fighting for?”
It feels like someone took a crack pipe
Lit it with a torch light
And threw it on a gas line
Like there is fire in the air
It’s everywhere now
So tonight I’m gonna travel to a past life
And murder all the bad guys and signal with a flashlight
Like catch me if you dare
I don’t f*cking care
If you f*cking care
Cause I’m gonna live forever so you better be prepared
I still want a love, love with all my heart
Even though the world is slowly tearing us apart
Tearing us apart
Basi aende, Nakupenda wewe, Nakupenda wewe basi aende
(I still love you)
(I love you x2)
(Let me go x2)
I don’t f*cking care
If you f*cking care
Cause I’m gonna do whatever while you sit around and stare
But I can stick around
For a little while
Until you fall asleep
That’s when I’ll disappear
Off into the night
The night where I belong
On my BMX bike, pretending nothing’s wrong

THIS is the Highly Suspect sound I love . Those vocals and guitar are on the next level.

[@rubentjuh10]

And the bass is 6 and a half levels above that. The bass makes this song for me. But yeah I play the bass my self so I kind of have a selective hearing.

Desolate Sumo I haven’t heard a voice as powerful as this since Chris Cornell

[@ThorCarlton]

@@zacharyrizzo3952 I've seen Cornell live once and Highly Suspect four times. Love them both, but Johnny doesn't have anything on Chris Cornell. That's not a knock on Johnny, Chris just had an unreal voice. Johnny's voice isn't nearly as powerful.

[@zacharyrizzo3952]

Thor Carlton that’s what I’m saying. Since Cornell, I haven’t heard a voice so resonating this past decade

[@Connor-ug8dj]

Hey Highly Suspect. It's very apparent that you are making the music that you want to make. Backing up the F.W.Y.T attitude to all your haters. I'm a fan of your music, your outlook, and you gentlemen! Don't ever stop making music. Congrats on the success of '16' (chart-wise). So much love! MCID

Does anyone else find the torch in this video just as hypnotic as the Johnny's voice?

I like how minimal their music videos usually are. Every now and then you get a show stopper, but I like how simple they tend to stay.

"I still want a love, love with all my heart". ugh this.

'How can we stomach the shit that they do...' God bless everyone. Now's that time. Stay strong and stay creative 🖤

[@user-kw3lu2br5p]

I love hearing new music ... especially when it's Highly Suspect

[@dankrottens1359]

This may be one of the best love songs ever... And I need not explain why. "Falling in Love" by NOFX may be my favorite love song next to "Somebody to Love" by Queen...but this will always be there with them. Love has no restrictions or conditions. It's felt and needs no reason... Like why this is one my favorites.

[@luckyjones1653]

My favorite band singing in my native language you don't know the joy ... TBh most people in Kenya don't even know them but I do

[@afk_872]

Man what's crazy is I've been listening to this song for about two years now, and the first time I heard it I was riding my bike at night then the last verse hit and I had to stop riding and process what he said and why I was out at 2am..... Everytime that last verse hits it reminds me of that evening and it's chill sending. Absolute poetry.

[@westofwilliams]
