KT Laine Brings Soft, Pensive Heat To Single “Dumpster Fire”

Convince yourself that you’ve learned from your mistakes.

It’s 3 AM in your car. You are driving that long straight line in the desert where sleep rattles at you like your car engine on the verge. Convince yourself. This time you won’t wake up in a cloud of dust with a blown tire. A stalled heart. Overwhelmed by the night heat. Stomach churning. Chest full of regret.

This time won’t be a “Dumpster Fire.”

This time
When we go back
No radio on
No TV
I take
I take myself there
No room for doubt
No more goin hungry
This time there’s another
And I’m a terrible liar
This time
This time I’m my own lover
And there’s no chance of a
Dumpster fire

What was
What was the question
That’s burning us out
Answer for me
I see
I see no reason
No pain on the window
No electricity
This time there’s another
And I’m a terrible liar
This time
This time I’m my own lover
And there’s no chance of a
Dumpster fire

KT Laine’s voice haunts her track, transporting to us to some late 1960’s dusty dream. The stripped-down instrumentation harkens to early morning (or is it late night?) on a life journey to somewhere new.

If only we can convince ourselves the change within our hearts is real. This time.

An Edmontonian now based in Victoria, KT Laine is a gifted vocalist who sounds like an indie rocker on a permanent vacation in Laurel Canyon. Hitting a sweet spot between laid back and longing, her crooning soars above spare accompaniment like a shooting star.
