lyrics

Said baby girl we pray one day
You never know the way it feels
To work those northern fields
Don’t roll your R’s, they’ll look away
Take every chance you can go blend
Do what we couldn’t then
It broke my heart to learn the truth
We weren’t broken into two
We didn’t have to choose

No, no puedo vivir
En pedazos aquí, pedazos de mi
No, yo no puedo vivir
Con pedazos de mi, pedazos aquí
No, feel like a kaleidoscope
All these moving pieces
They never quite fit
No, don’t belong to either world
Yeah I’m stuck on this bridge
On the river I live

I took the road north to find my way
Every turn that I would take
Lead me to the same place
Descubrí una parte de mi
Hablando sobre gente de
La frontera en que yo nací

No, no puedo vivir
En pedazos aquí, pedazos de mi
No, yo no puedo vivir
Con pedazos de mi, pedazos aquí
No, feel like a kaleidoscope
All these moving pieces
They never quite fit
No, don’t belong to either world
Yeah I’m stuck on this bridge
On the river I live

Aquí en el valle (que vive)
Somos latinos (que vive)
No nos separan (que vive)
Somos unidos (mi Valle se vive)

ARCANEDISPLAY is, at its core, a story of musical friendship. Beginning with Diana Tovar and Rudy Cerda as a study in distance and contrast—working on songs at a remove via email, combining indie acoustic rock with electronic and ambient textures—the group's sound has become distinct, multifaceted, detailed, and arresting.

In 2017, Arcanedisplay worked with producer Chris Elms (Imogen Heap, Björk) to release a new single, "Life Is A Mystery"; since then, the group has been hard at work on their first full-length album.

Find their music on Spotify, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud.
