Heatwave

about

Heatwave is the third single from DINO's debut album Staycation, which is set for release in the fall of 2021. The song is about trying to surf the fine line between productivity and relaxation with an emphasis on the pressure that is added to each moment by our own mortality. Convicting lyrics send this message home with support from a gigantic wave of guitars, saxophones, cellos, bass, drums and vocals that were recorded in DINO's hometown of North Bay, Ontario.

lyrics

I always knew I wanted to line up and ride
I knew I'd rather risk it all out in the sunlight
Than waste one day trying to prevent the inevitable end
Hiding in a patch of shade waiting for that sun to set

And as the tide begins to rise I realize
There has never been such thing as the right place or the right time
To clear my head or head back into the universe
Far from perfect as it is, I'm sure it could be much worse

Melting like a snowman who got no say in what he was made out of
Trying to enjoy it though it's hard to have fun when it is so hot

It's hot
So hot

And everywhere I find myself someone was once lost
I find it hard to believe that what lays before me isn't just another mirage
We'll be ok if we stay balanced and we behave
We will escape on the vision bending, sweat bead vending, smokin' heatwave

Melting like the snowmen who got no say in what they were made out of
Trying to enjoy it though it's hard to have fun when the pressure's on

It's hot
And on
So hot

It's on
