Toronto-based rock and soul artist Nelson Sobral returns September 5 with Built To Last, a stirring roots-rock anthem about resilience, connection, and the bonds that endure. With its laidback groove, heartfelt harmonies from Tay Guitard, and the warm yet gritty production of Mattie Leon, the track delivers both power and intimacy. Mastered by Reuben Ghose at Mojito Mastering, Built To Last is an unshakable statement that Sobral’s music — like the love it celebrates — is here to stay.

“I wrote Built To Last thinking about the rare connections that stand the test of time,” says Sobral. “It came together quickly, almost like it was waiting for me to catch up. I recorded it myself, and when Mattie mixed and produced it — with Tay’s harmonies lifting everything — it felt like the exact way it was meant to sound: warm, real, and lived-in.”

Lyrically, Built To Last speaks to relationships and moments that weather time and trial, urging listeners to hold tight to what matters. Musically, it’s a signature blend of Sobral’s blues-steeped guitar work, soulful vocals, and timeless songwriting.

Built to Last

Her kiss was honey... thick and slow,
But it burned like fire from the get-go.
Eyes like dusk on a heatwave night,
Told me everything... but not what’s right.

She danced like smoke on a porch light breeze,
Talked ‘bout forever like a southern tease.
I fell for the ghost of who she might be,
Now I’m drinkin' her memory... bitter and free.

Her kiss like fire, but I’d go again,
Even if it leaves me scarred like sin.
She was mercy wrapped in a hurricane —
And I loved her most when she caused me pain.
Yeah, I still feel the spark in the rain…

She left lipstick on my cigarette pack,
Now every drag pulls me right back.
A heart like hers don’t settle or stay,
Just leaves ashes where love used to lay.

I built a home from matchsticks and pine,
She lit it up with a kiss so fine.
Told myself it was fate, not mistake,
But I still taste her every breath I take.

Her kiss like fire, but I’d go again,
Even if it leaves me scarred like sin.
She was mercy wrapped in a hurricane —
And I loved her most when she caused me pain.
Yeah, I still feel the spark in the rain…

Ain’t no map for a heart this lost…
No compass when the needle’s been crossed.
I chased her shadow across that field...
And kissed the flame ‘cause it made me feel.

Her kiss… like fire…
Still burns… under my skin…
Still comes… back again…

I Don't Want To Let You Go
