Diamond Rings – All Yr Songs

Tonight’s song comes from John O’Regan, and his indie-pop/electronic-folk (yeah I’m genre tagging something electronic-folk) side-project Diamond Rings; his main project is fronting the Toronto-based indie-rock act The D’Ubervilles.  As far as I can tell, the ridiculously charming All Yr Songs can only be found on a 7-inch vinyl split-release featuring Diamond Rings and Kingston, Ontario’s PS I Love You.  Unfortunately, said release has been sold out and I have no leads on how to get more music from Diamond Rings.  If anyone has any information on a forthcoming release from the band, let me know.  Until then, you can check out Diamond Rings, The D’Ubervilles, and PS I Love You at their respective MySpace’s below.

I feel it, I need you to keep me going strong
You and I, ?, together for so long
And if you ever wonder how we keep from going under
It’s because we find another reason not to give in
And even though we may not get to where we want to go
I do believe that we both know it don’t matter in the end

‘Cause in the summer weather we put sunscreen on together
I would not want your skin to burn
No-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

I’v been bad and mean to you but you right my wrongs
I do try, you know I love to sing all your songs
And if you move away I’ll try not to hesitate
Thinking I cannot life the weight without you here to share it
But if you have to go I promise you that on my own
It would be known that I was trying hard to grin and bare it

‘Cause in the winter weather I lent you my warmest sweater
I would not want you to get cold
No-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

No matter what the weather, I’ll do anything whatever
If I could be so very bold
I never want us to grow old
