about

Gold Bonds is a collaborative pop duo from Ottawa, Canada. Long time friends, Matt Gilmour and David Gervais began recording music under this moniker in 2013, and have been experimenting sonically together ever since. David and Matt are multi-instrumentalists with a breadth of experience writing music independently for over two decades. Using lush tones of both vintage and virtual instruments, they have now come up with a classic yet modern sound that is uniquely their own. The name Gold Bonds refers to a cherished friendship or a long term investment.

'Growing Pains' is a song about finding out, pursuing and accepting what's important to you in life. The title and content also refers to how this type of wisdom often comes with growth from difficult, confusing or painful experiences. Sonically, the song is both haunting and uplifting, allowing theme to swell and echo, live and breathe on the track.

lyrics

LYRICS:

I WAS BUSSING ACROSS TOWN
WHEN YOUR SOLDIER’S NOT AROUND
NOT THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
LUCID
ASLEEP
BRINGING NOISE
FILLING VOIDS
THE BOY YOU WERE
THE MAN WHOSE AGING

THE DAMAGE DONE
LOVE INTERRUPTS
KEEP MOVING ON
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS

DESOLATE STREETS
DEATH IS CALLING
THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
YOU’RE INVOLVED WITH
IS LACKING HONESTY AND INTOLERANT
IT WAS HARD ON ME
FOR THE BOY I WAS
AND THE MAN I WANT TO BE

THE DAMAGE DONE
LOVE INTERRUPTS
KEEP MOVING ON
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS

PUSH
AND PULL
TILL YOUR HEART IS FULL
REACHING THE CEILING
ACHIEVING THAT FEELING

I WOKE UP WITH GROWING PAINS
IN MY HEART AND IN MY VEINS
MY WORLD FOREVER CHANGED
DOES GOD KNOW MY NAME?

THE DAMAGE DONE
LOVE INTERRUPTS
KEEP MOVING ON
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS

PUSH
AND PULL
TILL YOUR HEART IS FULL
REACHING THE CEILING
ACHIEVING THAT FEELING

THE DAMAGE DONE
LOVE INTERRUPTS
KEEP MOVING ON
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS

PUSH
AND PULL
TILL YOUR HEART IS FULL
REACHING THE CEILING
ACHIEVING THAT FEELING

I WOKE UP WITH GROWING PAINS
IN MY HEART AND IN MY VEINS
MY WORLD FOREVER CHANGED
DOES GOD KNOW MY NAME?
