Song of Songs EP

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave…”

Song of Songs 8:6

The debut EP from Brendan Philip takes its name from one the oldest most well-regarded and controversial books of all time, the bible. Song of Songs is a particularly enigmatic collection of prose in the bible dealing with very romantic sentiments between two unknown lovers; interesting for the Bible, that often mulls over anything remotely intimate let alone goes into such details as this particular section. For Brendan Philip, this is a short suite of pieces featuring songs like Reflection, a minimal piece only two and half minutes long, but fits so much clarity in a short breath; and the lead single 'Harvest Moon', a cover of one Canada's most revered singer/songwriters, Neil Young, with a BP twist. With production from local talents like Quest, Shane Tone and Brendan Philip himself, this EP is a most appropriate introduction to Brendan Philip, one of Toronto's free spirited, off kilter but all together beautiful artists to be treasured.

Track Name: Reflection
v1
reflection in the water
reflection in the room
reflection when i'm standing
staring at you
beside myself i'm laughing
beside myself i'm a fool
i don't know where the time goes
when i'm standing in front of you

chorus

v2
two sides to every story
two covers to every book
sometimes the ending starts things
a point to build for the good
i'll try my hardest to face you
without no ridicule
in some strange way you need me
and i need you too

chorus x fade out
Track Name: Harvest Moon (Neil Young cover)
v1
come a little bit closer
hear what i have to say
just like children sleeping
we can dream the night away

but theres a full moon rising
lets go dancing in the light
we know where the musics playing
lets go out and feel the night

chorus
cus i'm still in love with you
i wanna see you dance again
cus i'm still in love with you
on this harvest moon

v2
when we were strangers
i watched you from afar
when we were lovers
i loved you with all my heart

but now its getting late
and the moon is climbing high
lets go out and celebrate
see it shining in your eye

chorus x fade out
Track Name: Sol On Ice (Runnin' To)
v1
Why should anyone live in a world
with those who don’t feel we should be happy?
Possibilities are lost
And long term is much too long

Many will put their love under fire
Having you believe that its all passing by

chorus
I wanna feel like
I spent my whole life
Running to your heart
And
I wanna realize that my sol on ice
Helped more than it harmed

v2
Most of the time we stick around
Til the good things are gone
Hearts turn silent in fear of being torn

As soon as we’re hurting we flee we run!
Chasing what they have
Cause you don’t want what you got at all

chorus x2
bridge
Now I’m not afraid to help you
But my one request is that you don’t bring the pain from past feuds
Just because I wont worship your hurt feelings
Doesn’t mean we’ll lose

chorus
Track Name: Curious Phenomena (Guitar)
v1
what have we started
i dont know
dont give it a name
just let it grow
we carry with us
every approach we know

v2
we are familiar with this road
but how can we ever
ever be sure
this magic will last
for us to move forward
with us

chorus
is this going on
