Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.
Summer In The City
Freedom Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you see is what you get
And worse yet I can't give an explanation
For why it's gray on your side
But from me the sun can't hide
Somehow in the city it's summer in the city
Somewhere in the city it's summer in the city
I will rise up to every day's occasion
What you reach is what you get
And better yet I'll give you an indication
For why you're feeling deprived
But with me you come alive
Somehow in the city it's summer in the city
Somewhere in the city it's summer in the city
No more raining on this lonely town
Summer comes around when you really want it
Immortalized, young forever now
There's more to life than running in the circles you become
No more raining on this lonely town
Summer comes around when you really want it
Immortalized, young forever now
C'mon and spend the summer with me
We won't give into any hesitation
What you need is what you get
We'll never let lack of an imagination
Keep us locked up inside
Even when the sun has died
Somehow in the city it's summer in the city
Somewhere in the city it's summer in the city
No more raining on this lonely town
Summer comes around when you really want it
Immortalized, young forever now
There's more to life than running in the circles you become
No more raining on this lonely town
Summer comes around when you really want it
Immortalized, young forever now
C'mon and spend the summer with me
The song "Summer In The City" by Freedom Fry is about enjoying the summer in the city, regardless of any obstacles that may come one's way. The opening verse talks about not living up to expectations and not being able to explain why things might seem dreary or grey on someone else's side. However, the singer insists that the sun can't hide from them. This reflects the idea that even if someone else is experiencing a difficult time, it doesn't mean that their own experience has to be negative as well.
The chorus encourages the idea that summer can be found somewhere in the city, despite the challenges that come with living in an urban environment. The lyrics suggest that, by rising up to each day's occasion and being in the company of someone who makes them come alive, one can find the joy and warmth of summer no matter where they are. The bridge of the song maintains this idea, encouraging the listener to spend the summer with the singer, and insisting that the season is not limited to any particular time or place.
Overall, "Summer In The City" is an uplifting song that encourages the listener to focus on finding their own joy and to seek out opportunities to enjoy life, even amidst challenging circumstances.
