about

“Costco Magazine” is an ode to all those who lack grand ambitions. I wrote it after being laid off during the first few weeks of the pandemic. The song explores emotions around the acceptance of being passed by in life and in love, and the things we do to cope after rejection.

lyrics

Well your folks drove round my place and I was probably gettin’ high
Held a coffee and a Costco magazine down on my thigh
Your mom said “son it’s getting warm, you’re gonna waste another day”
I said “If that’s the case my dear why don’t you kill me now”

No you never seemed to care when you were half drunk before five
These days thought you speak so corporate yeah you barely seem alive
I think if I could make you breakfast I could stare into your eyes
But you don’t spend much time at home these days now do you
No I won’t hold you down
If you wanna leave, then leave
Lawn chair and a quiet town
Sounds like a pretty good life to me

Well the days they turned to weeks and then to months and then to years
And maybe it’s the lack of sleep, you know I’ve had a couple beers
But when I think of you that evening, yeah you stared into my eyes
That was the last time that I saw you, ain’t it sad
I drove down to California, tried to drown my sins away
It was the fourth night of July, I’m up in San Francisco Bay
And as I leaned into that moment, yeah I saw your stupid face
The fireworks behind the fog I couldn’t see em

No I won’t hold you down
If you wanna leave, then leave
Lawn chair and a quiet town
Sounds like a pretty good life to me

Nick Faye regina, Saskatchewan

Nick Faye crafts timeless songs that honour this past, embracing the hopes, dreams and frustrations of life lived in the Canadian Prairies. Fusing this with a clear love of mid-90s Pop Rock (think Rick Dees and The Weekly Top 40 in 1999), he creates songs that stick in the mind like a prairie snowdrift - taking their sweet time to melt away, slowly revealing the hope of new beginnings to come. ... more
