Wonky Waltz

At the end of the sofa you sit like a pillow
Quietly watching TV
You are the curve that I burrow into
You are a mountain to me 
But I won't say the words
I won't say the words

So instead I'll brush the lint off of your shoulder
And pull the lash from your eye 
Before you step over the cracks in the street
I'll make certain your laces are tied
But I won't say the words
I won't say the words 
Until you say them first

My favourite hour is 6 in the morning
When you're safety sound asleep
Your head on my heart
I look down at you 
And whisper quietly 

Those three little words 
Now what if you'd heard?
Maybe it's better if I write you a letter
But paper's so easily torn 
Just like my heart, a dazzled wound
That I don't want to hurt anymore
So I won't say the words I won't, I won't

At the end of the sofa you sit like a pillow
You are a mountain to me
But I won't say the words
I won't say the words
So instead I'll brush lint off of your shoulder
I'll pull the lash from your eye
Maybe it's better if I write you a letter
But paper's so easily torn
So I won't say the words
I won't say the words

[Verse 1]
Running from me
As easy as it may seem
I fall to my knees
Every time I hear my heartbeat I feel alone and ashamed
Playin’ the game
Doing things I never thought I’d do, no
Living the dream
Man it ain’t easy

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Verse 2]
You wanna see all my scars (Ahh)
Get a little bit closer, you can
Tear them apart (Ahh)
Taste the blood in my fear
Make sure I’m ready to go (Ready to go)
Go with the flow (Go with the flow)
Never ask another question
‘Cause it’s all-good (Yeah don't you know?)
Yeah, "it’s all-good"

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Bridge]
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, oh!

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah

Lyrics:
genius.com/Tafari-anthony-no-good-lyrics

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

How could I not know that you were obsessed
When you started reciting my texts
Empty hand you knew every word
I guess some would call it absurd

Now I’m standing here
Feeding obsession with crippling fear
But I love it dear
Do I need to explain anymore?

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to go away
(Huh)

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

We put the good shit down for a rest (A rest)
‘Cause goddamn, I love when you stress (Love, love, love)
See the vein pop right through your head (Your head)
I guess some would call us a mess
Ooh, So

Now we’re standing here (Standing here)
Feeding obsession with crippling fear (Crippling fear)
But I love it dear (Love it dear)
Do I need to explain anymore (That's!)

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to leave
I can’t say anymore
I can’t say anymore
That’s why I had to go away
Yeah…

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)
(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

(That’s why I had to go)
(No, no, no, no)
(That’s why I had to go)
(No, no, no, no)

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to leave
I can’t say anymore
I can’t say anymore

(That’s why I had to go) Yeah...
(No, no, no, no)
That’s why I had to go away
(No, no, no, no)

No Good

Didn't I Tell You feat. Tafari Anthony

Tafari (pronounced Ta-far-eye) Anthony is a Toronto based artist whose music blends R&B, pop, and soul. He is a creator who embodies the spirit of the modern musician. Not just a musician, but a creator. Known for his sleek vocal tones, sultry melodies and music which oozes with personality, Tafari leaves listeners in awe – somewhat apt considering his name means “He who inspires awe”.

His influences range from artists like Prince and John Legend, to more contemporary artists like Lennon Stella and Charlie Puth, among others. Often described as a mix of Sam Smith and MNEK, Tafari creates deeply emotional songs that resonate across generations. “All of these artists are creating music that is pop in its own right, but also so different from each other”, shares the musician. 

Following the release of his two previous EP’s, both of which received considerable notoriety in Toronto, Tafari made a conscious decision to take a break in 2018 and focus on creating new material which explored his own personal soundscape. “I wanted to take a moment to feel uncomfortable and nervous again. That break was crucial for me”. Now Tafari is unveiling the confident new single “Centrefold”. The track sees the musician taking a different direction, to what he calls his own interpretation of pop music. Soaring with atmospheric synths and cascading pop melodies, Tafari showcases his impressive velvet vocals, with a hint of sass. “Centrefold” is the ultimate “go fuck yourself” send off to a self centred ex-lover. Tafari confides, “I’m a pretty calm guy, but when I get to my breaking point, it’s hard to hold my tongue. This song was written from sheer frustration of trying to let him down gently and realizing that he just refused to understand”. 

Working alongside Brandon Unis (Juno Nominated. Billboard Charted. 1X Gold Producer / Mixer), Kelly Alaina and OBLVYN, in Edmonton, Alberta, Tafari was able to illustrate his desire to create something out of his usual realm, pushing his boundaries. He explains, “I was in a new city, new space and with new people. I think all those factors combined allowed me to step out of my comfort zone to try new things, be open to new sounds and melodies, and be comfortable to be whoever I wanted to be that day”. 

Thematically, Tafari’s music often details love, relationships, life’s hardships and finding self identity and worth in a world where most people feel they need to blend in to be happy. “I’m not afraid to write about those dark moments and truths that may be hard to hear. I would hope that my music would inspire someone to be less afraid of being themselves. Be less afraid of offending people by expressing how you truly feel. And to be less afraid of wanting the things you desire and deserve”. 

Tafari’s music has been nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award, receives regular airplay on CBC Radio, with one of his singles being named one of CBC’s Most Influential Songs of 2016. He’s also performed with Shangela (RuPaul’s Drag Race) and New York’s upcoming pop Star MAX, toured across North America and Asia as part of the award winning a capella band Eh440, as well as having performed at Toronto’s Dundas Square and Massey Hall and receiving praise from Michael Buble himself. “Centrefold” is set for release Jan 31st.
