Song of the Day: August 26, 2016 - "On My Own" by Bear Mountain
Here's a collaboration I don't think I ever would have imagined. "On My Own" is the second single off the upcoming Bear Mountain album called Badu, and was cowritten by none other than Nelly Furtado.
On their soundcloud page, frontman Ian Bevis writes:
"Earlier this year I got the opportunity to write a song with Nelly Furtado. Right away it was a great vibe and connection. Nelly had the idea to write about the fights or breakups you see couples getting into outside of a bar or club. "You don't have the right, to come ruin my night", it feels like this person is trying to protect themselves against this ex-lover who has come to re-hash the past. In the heat of the fight they say something they might regret, "You're such a joke". The line is so direct, mean even. But this person has to protect themselves from getting caught up in their past. It was such a pleasure to write with Nelly, she's so talented and iconic, and this is easily one of my favourite song's on our album."
The song is deceptively upbeat and catchy for a slightly darker subject; you can check it out below, and then pick up Badu when it comes out September 9th on Last Gang Records
