about
Following the release of their self-recorded and produced sophomore album, "Test of Time", New Renaissance caught the attention of Winnipeg producer Dorian Preston (formerly of Sick City) who expressed interest in working with the band. Recorded at Exchange District Studios in Winnipeg, MB, "Face to Face" is the first single to be released from their studio sessions, and combines elements from both of the band's previous LPs, with Preston bringing a new style and attitude to their sound. The song was professionally mastered at Lurssen Mastering Studios in Hollywood, CA. by the same engineers who mastered such albums as "Sonic Highways" by Foo Fighters and "...Like Clockwork" by Queens of the Stone Age.
lyrics
"You've lost your frugal ways, you're so full of shit these days.
It's not your hand to throw in every time, every time you know.
You're quick to point the blame, lost sight of your own shame.
So take a stand, throw in everything, everyone you,
I'm afraid of you, what you'll do, everything you've grown into.
I'm not blinded by the rage.
I'm afraid of you, what you'll do, everything I've heard was true.
It's time to meet this face to face. Oh yeah, yeah.
You've lost your head again, one time for old time's sake.
You don't have my hand to find your feet again, live it on your own.
Drink more to mask the pain, or you'll drive yourself insane.
Was this your plan? To lose everything, everyone you,
Say you love me, but if you don't want me I won't let it haunt me, baby.
Say you loathe me, 'cause if you don't owe me I won't let it own me, baby.
Oh, oh. Oh. It's time to meet this face to face.
Come on."
