LYRICS:
Phone died
Need a ride
No life
The grass is greener on my mind
Outside
It’s on fire
Red sky
Hanging over clotheslines

I’m so over
Watching and waiting all the complaining
On my shoulders
Feeling the weight of it all

I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe in something good
I wanna believe we’re gonna be fine
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna be going somewhere good
I wanna believe we’re not going down

Fast track
Computer crash
Life hack
Send away the old trash
I can’t
Look back
It’s too bad
We didn’t know what we had

I’m so over
Watching and waiting all the complaining
On my shoulders
Feeling the weight of it all

I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe in something good
I wanna believe we’re gonna be fine
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna be going somewhere good
I wanna believe we’re not going down

I wanna believe in something
I wanna be going somewhere
I wanna believe in something

LYRICS:
Black dress
Lavender and roses
I bet
Big laughs
All the friends I’ve chosen
What’s next
Tell a story or two
It might get you through
What you’ve gotta do
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean
Speak up
I can’t read your lips
Like this
Your words
Wrap me in all of it
Tongue twist
Honey while I’m here
Whisper in my ear
So I don’t disappear
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean
It’s late
Pack up your memories
It’s okay
Lay me down to sleep
I know we’re gonna meet
Swimming in a dream
I’m someone’s baby
I’m someone’s lover
I’m just a person
No holy water
Will you read me my eulogy
I’m dying to know what you’ll say about me
I hope I gave you something to keep
Instead of waiting around
I’m gonna say what I mean

LYRICS:
The big bad wolf is coming
Can you hear him in the distance
Now he’s howling at the moonlight
He’ll show you everything you’re missing
I know it might seem scary
Maybe feels a little different
But it could be easy
If you cover up you’re footprints

I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night

I could shrug my shoulders
I could sweep it all under the rug
Hide my money in the mattress
You might find it if you look hard enough
If you look hard enough

I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night

No one showed me
How to love you
All I want is
To be near you
No one showed me
How to love you
All I want is
To be near you

I wanna be your lover
So will you stay another night

LYRICS:
How’s your house
How’s your living room
In the afternoon
With nothing to do
Is anyone calling you on the phone
Or are you all alone
With the dial tone

Oh time to let it all go
Find yourself a new show
Shouldn't be hard to take off again
I don’t wanna hear your lies
Don’t wanna to pray to your shrine
Don’t wanna fall for it all again

Over and over
I’ve tried to wash my mind
Don’t pull me under 
Holy water
Holy water

Heavenly skies
Must be nice
To fly so high
No one’s waiting in the afterlife
I’ve been here the whole time
I’ve been here the whole time

Oh time to let it all go
Find yourself a new show
Shouldn't be hard to take off again
I don’t wanna hear your lies
Don’t wanna to pray to your shrine
Don’t wanna fall for it all again

Over and over
I’ve tried to wash my mind
Don’t pull me under 
Holy water
Holy water
No don’t pull me under 
Holy water
Holy Water

Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under

LYRICS:
Back when I was young
I was so impressed
By the way you lived without consequence
Now I notice things
Since you’ve been away
Guess my rose coloured glasses are starting to fade

You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Oh you’re just a person
You’re just a person like me

I looked up to you
Like you knew it all
No I never thought you’d become so small
Did you jump for joy
Did you feel so free
When the throne you were on fell apart with the dream

You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Ohohoh
You can say you did the best with what you had but that won’t last
Just admit you’re full of shit you never wanted any of this
I don’t blame you now that I can see
You’re just a person like me

You’re just a person
You’re just trying to figure it out like me
I can see you’re hurting
Nobody is quite as tough as they seem
Ohohoh
You can say you did the best with what you had but that won’t last
Just admit you’re full of shit you never wanted any of this
I don’t blame you now that I can see

LYRICS:
Remember Saturdays
Remember celebrating
Feels so far
Everything you said
How you wanna be my friend
No wonder

I’ve been spending all this time out on my own
I wish you’d be the one to call when I’m alone

Haunt me like you want me
Always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be
Only what you show me
I’m always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be your baby

I see you in my dreams
I see you on my TV
Still so far
What would it take for you
What would I have to do
‘Cause I don’t want a ghost around

Yeah I’m done spending all this time out on my own
No I don’t need someone to call when I’m alone

Haunt me like you want me
Always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be
Only what you show me
I’m always gonna be your baby, I’m always gonna be your baby

“Easy” by Ballsy
Written by Isabelle Banos, Corey Gulkin & Mint Simon
Recorded, Produced, Mixed & Mastered by Isabelle Banos at Chez Ballsy

Easy

Ballsy is the new solo venture of Caveboy’s synth-bassist Isabelle Banos. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of pop-punk, the raw teen angst of grunge, and the nostalgic glow of a summer day in the suburbs, Ballsy's music is an explosive fusion of infectious hooks, unfiltered emotion, and a captivating blend of indie rock and pop.

Her music has been featured in popular TV shows and movies on Netflix (Orange is the New Black, Maid), HBO Max (The Sex Lives of College Girls), Hulu (Happiest Season, Crush) & more. You can hear her song “Be Your Baby” in the new spider-verse movie Madame Web. Commercials for brands such as GoPro and Rakuten have also featured her distinctive sound. Her songs have also appeared on editorial streaming playlists, including New Music Friday, Fresh Finds and New Music Holiday.

After releasing a slew of well-received singles, Ballsy is thrilled to announce her upcoming debut EP “Bisou”, out April 5th 2024. On it, Ballsy fearlessly delves into the depths of personal experiences, channeling themes of abandonment, heartbreak, self-discovery, and the bittersweet complexities of growing up. With a nod to 90’s grunge and 2000’s pop-punk, Ballsy's self-produced sound transports listeners to a time of youthful rebellion and unbridled energy. Her music pulsates with irresistible guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and anthemic choruses that instantly bring you back to sun-soaked days spent skateboarding aimlessly through the neighbourhood with friends. Each song captures the essence of teenage angst, delivering a powerful catharsis that resonates with both the young and the young at heart.

In 2020, Ballsy's talent and dedication were recognized when she was selected as one of the top eight female music producers for Music Publishers Canada's esteemed “Women in the Studio '' program. This opportunity allowed her to further refine her craft and solidify her position as a prominent music creator in the Canadian music industry. Driven by a desire to create an inclusive and empowering space for fellow female and gender expansive artists, Ballsy proudly opened her own studio in Montreal called Chez Ballsy in 2021. This creative haven serves as a testament to her unwavering commitment to fostering a supportive environment for all musicians to thrive as themselves. In 2022, Ballsy’s work as a producer led her to be recognized as an Innovator by Keychange, a revered global initiative devoted to advocating for more gender equality in the music industry.

Ballsy also believes in empowering musicians through education. She shares her knowledge and insights as a featured educator on LANDR's YouTube Channel to over 150k subscribers, and is a regular volunteer for the Montreal chapter of Rock Camp for girls and gender expansive youth. She has also recently released her own online class on recording, producing and mixing vocals in collaboration with Studio.com, alongside esteemed artists like H.E.R. and Idina Menzel. When Ballsy isn’t nerding out about music you can find her making DIY escape rooms for friends or hanging with her rescue dog Bruce.
