1. Canis were a noise rock band from Auckland, New Zealand. They were formed in 1992 by Paul Blanchard (vocals) and Gabriel Wilkinson (guitar), with an initial line-up that also included Derek Solomon (guitar), Phil Kusabs (bass), and Geoffrey Briggs of death metal group Entropy (drums). In 1994, Adrian Bergman replaced Briggs on drums and the album A Good Solid Flesh Crime was recorded. The final recorded output from Canis was 1998's “Sweet as a Sickle” session at York St Studios, which was recorded live over three days with Nick Abbott engineering. Soon after this session, the band broke up, with Bergman and Solomon moving to England, and Wilkinson moving to Nelson. Vocalist Paul Blanchard went solo as Hog Haul Valentine.
2. Canis are a four-piece Modern Rock / Funk band from Jakarta, Indonesia. Established in January 2013, the band consists of members of music projects from both the Jakarta and Bandung independent music scenes like Bard Shuffle and Kacang Mede. The band members are Iman Lazuardi (Guitar), Satrio Rama (Drums & Percussion), Ignatius Andreas (Bass) and Reynir Fauzan (Vocal).
Canis' musical style combines Funk bass lines and guitar licks, a hard-beating signature Rock drum sound, the catchiness of Soul / Pop-esque vocal harmonics and the brilliant songwriting.

Canis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But remember I'll tell you my friend
Do you care about my resolution?
Every time you ask for one solution
And I know when you feel it again
Every time you need something to break
But you care about my lone-perfection
But, I
think the lyrics to Canis's song "December" are open to interpretation, so here is one possibility. The song seems to be addressing someone whom the singer will not see again until December. The singer wants this person to know that they will think of them until then, but also has some unresolved issues they want to discuss. The chorus asks if the person cares about the singer's resolution and lone-perfection, indicating that these are important to the singer but perhaps have not been acknowledged by the other person in the past.
The verses suggest that the other person has asked the singer for advice or solutions in the past, but the singer feels like these requests have not been reciprocated - the other person has not shown concern for the singer's own goals or struggles. However, the singer still seems to care for the other person, even though they may not feel understood or supported. The lines "But I think I'll be fine / If you want to close the line" suggest that the singer is willing to let go of the relationship if the other person is not willing to meet them halfway.
Overall, the lyrics of "December" convey a bittersweet longing for connection and understanding, as well as a sense of resignation if that connection cannot be found. The song's sparse instrumentation and haunting vocals contribute to its emotional impact.
