1) basecamp (베이스캠프) is a male duo band and producer group under wavy. Formed in 2015, they had their beginnings as producer duo who worked with many artists over a period of 7 years. They eventually debuted on May 17, 2022 with the digital single "Wandering".
2) A trio with musical influences that extend far beyond their hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, BASECAMP came to fruition when the three producers joined forces to write. With a natural affinity for writing and collaborating, what resulted was 'Emmanuel' - a track that pulls you in and lingers in your consciousness even moments after its end. Realizing there was a musical void that needed to be filled, the idea of BASECAMP immediately took hold. Deconstructing typical genre boundaries by utilizing haunting melodies, intensified by thumping bass lines and heavily percussive drums, BASECAMP effortlessly layer unpredictable tempo changes with elements of subtle glitch and live strings. Combining seducing vocals with irresistible R&B timbre reminiscent of James Blake or Sampha of SBTRKT, the trio meshes seemingly incongruous musical textures and chords to create beautiful tension across all four tracks on their upcoming self-titled debut EP. Universally appealing with burning lyrics and a fully realized musicianship that can't be faltered, the EP is only a prelude to the eclectic BASECAMP narrative.
Shudder
Basecamp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A wandering heart, that falls apart
When I see you smiling
And looking back I watch you and
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
It makes me SHUDDER
Yeah once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
You gave, your weight in gold
It's all embrace, want you with all
And time left you blinded
Now looking back, I watch you
And was too lost to wait
The lies you make,
The traps you set
Your words regret, the once you had
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
Yeah once upon a time
It makes me SHUDDER
Yeah once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
Yeah once upon a time
It makes me SHUDDER
Yeah once when you were mine
It makes me SHUDDER
The song "Shudder" by Basecamp describes the pain and regret of a failed relationship. The opening lines reflect the singer's observation that the person they were once with has a "broken soul" and a "wandering heart," suggesting that the relationship ended because of these flaws. The mention of the person's smile in contrast emphasizes the difficulty of letting go of those we once loved, despite knowing they may not have been right for us. The lyrics suggest that looking back on the relationship and the memories they shared together "makes me shudder," indicating a sense of unease and discomfort.
The chorus, repeating the phrase "once upon a time, it makes me shudder... once when you were mine, it makes me shudder," further emphasizes the pain and discomfort the singer feels when they reflect on their past relationship. This phrasing calls to mind a fairytale or a fictional story, which underscores the sense of nostalgia, wonder and sadness the singer feels. The end of the song suggests that the person they were once with was not truthful with them, and expresses regret for the "lies you make," the "traps you set," and the "words regret, the once you had."
Line by Line Meaning
You have a broken soul
Your heart is wounded and dysfunctional
A wandering heart, that falls apart
Your heart is restless and collapses easily
When I see you smiling
Despite your broken soul, you can still manage to smile
And looking back I watch you and
As I reflect on our past, I observe you from a distance
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Thinking about our past together sends a shiver down my spine
Once when you were mine
Back when we were in a relationship
It makes me SHUDDER
It fills me with fear and discomfort
You gave, your weight in gold
You were immensely valuable to me
It's all embrace, want you with all
I welcomed you with open arms and desired you with all of my being
And time left you blinded
Over time, you lost sight of what truly mattered
Now looking back, I watch you
In retrospect, I am able to observe the changes in you
And was too lost to wait
I was too confused and unsure to patiently wait for you
The lies you make,
The falsehoods you create
The traps you set
The schemes you devise
Your words regret, the once you had
You now regret the words you said and the things you once had
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Recalling our past fills me with fear and hesitation
Once when you were mine
During the period when you were my partner
It makes me SHUDDER
It causes me to tremble with unease
Once upon a time, it makes me shudder
Looking back at our history together elicits a sense of discomfort
Once when you were mine
Back when we were together
It makes me SHUDDER
It instills a sense of fear and apprehension within me
