Push It Down

I Live In Patterns

I Live In Patterns (feat. Alix Page)

Sunday Morning

Night falls and I look out and I can’t make out a thing
So I burned all my bridges down just to have something to see
But you don’t need to worry darling, 
I don’t need to escape 
From this ever growing sadness that I can’t help but create for myself

Well if I knew what was good for me, I’d open up the blinds
I’d let my room be filled with sun, let it change my life
But you don’t need to worry darling, one day I’ll be just fine 
I’ll stare up into the sun til it burns right through my eyes

Is that what you want?
Is that what you wanted from me?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you needed to see?
if I see the beauty in everything
Then how am I to know just what to sing
When it all falls down
And there’s no one around

Melancholy’s always got me right where it wants
And my voice hurts from starting shouting matches with God
But you should start to worry darling
If you can’t hear the sirens calling
Out through my broken promise
Didn’t you ask me to be honest?
[chorus]

When it all falls down.
I’ve been practicing my steps
For when it all falls down again

Shouting Matches

The debut album, I Live In Patterns, out now
glassnote.ffm.to/taylorjanzen-iliveinpatterns 

“The powerful simplicity of a voice, a guitar, a restrained melody and a raw emotion has been rediscovered by songwriters like Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and now Taylor Janzen.” - The New York Times

 The Winnipeg artist returns with new single “What I Do…” out via Glassnote Records. The song was produced by Luke Niccoli (Miya Folick, Joji), mixed by Neal Avron (Brandi Carlile, Bleachers, Twenty One Pilots ), and mastered by Joe LaPorta (Of Monsters and Men, Leon Bridges).

“’What I Do…’ is a song I wrote about being in a serious relationship and suddenly realizing that your issues are affecting someone else for the first time, and not entirely knowing how to change that. Musically, it’s a bit of a departure for me. I wrote it on an acoustic guitar in my bedroom, but when we got around to producing it, it seemed to take on a life of it’s own." says Janzen.

With further praise from Noisey, NPR, Paste, i-D, and The New York Times, Taylor kicked off the year as an Official Artist at SXSW where she was asked to perform at Rolling Stone's Emerging Artist Showcase.

Growing up, Taylor wasn't encouraged to speak through her feelings, so turned to songwriting as an outlet. As a result, with each song we're granted an intimate and almost painstakingly brazen glimpse into the most heart wrenching pages of her diary.  She writes candidly, touching on the topics of mental health and emotional abuse, noting that, “the music that I write is very honest, so it speaks for itself.”
