Milosh, from Toronto, Canada, debuted his first album, You Make Me Feel ("Top 10 Electronic Albums," iTunes 2004), as a work reveling in the joys of new love. It celebrated everything from his girlfriend's taste to her positive presence in his life. But then they broke up. Recorded in the 12 months after his relationship's collapse, Meme explores all facets of the newly-single male experience: heartache, loneliness, lust, guilt, soul searching, and eventually, romantic rebirth.
Says Milosh, "It begins with 'It's Over,' a song about my breakup with the girl 'You Make Me Feel' was about, and ends with 'Run Away,' about that need to get away from pain, from the dull routine of life, to be in a new place with my new girlfriend." The truly fascinating and voyeuristic moments, however, happen in-between these two big life changes.
On "You Fill Me," Milosh explores a casual sex experience, providing erotic imagery that is at turns sensual, violent, and spiritual. While much of the song delights in this orgasmic revelry, one can hear in Milosh's voice a desire for something more, a penetration of not just skin, but soul.
On "The City," Milosh reflects on his life so far with a hint of nostalgia. "The City was born out of a walk in old Montréal with one of my best friends from when I was young," says Milosh. "It was really hot outside, the air was thick, the streets were poorly lit, and there was no one around us. The city felt almost empty. You get a really clear sense of the history of the city on nights like that for some reason. It got me thinking about my history, my life up til then, and whether or not I had achieved the goals that I had set out for myself."
These candid tales would only be half-victories without a worthy backdrop, though, and the music here never fails to impress. Milosh's nuanced production subtly shades the emotional content of his lyrics, adeptly capturing every fluctuation in mood. Gliding on shuffling beats and post-Blade Runner keyboards, Meme fits comfortably alongside Junior Boys and Boards of Canada, using a broad electronic palette to frame experiences charged with raw feeling.
By album's end, Milosh has come full circle, back in love with a new woman, the pain of his previous breakup seemingly erased. He puts it best himself when he sings, "These scars from lovers look like scratches from strangers." These are deeply personal tales meant for discovery by present and future generations- generations bound to make the same mistakes and learn the same lessons in love.

Another Day
Milosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm searching for another day
I close my eyes and walk away
I'm searching for another day
My need to go is growing with the breeze
These warm summer days are just a tease
We've got a thousand reasons between us
And all I would've needed was one
So we'll close our eyes and walk away
So we'll close our eyes and walk away
In Milosh's song, Another Day, the lyrics paint a picture of someone searching for a new beginning. The phrase, "I close my eyes and walk away, I'm searching for another day," suggests a desire for change and a fresh start. The repetition of this line reinforces the importance of finding a new beginning. The following line, "My need to go is growing with the breeze, these warm summer days are just a tease," brings the metaphorical sense of change to life. The singer wants to leave their current life behind and embrace something new.
The second verse brings a new layer to the story with the line, "We've got a thousand reasons between us, telling us to take this road." It suggests that the search for a new beginning is a shared journey. However, despite having numerous reasons to make the change, the singer only needed one. The final lines, "So we'll close our eyes and walk away," emphasize the importance of taking that leap of faith and starting anew.

I close my eyes and walk away
I'm trying to distance myself from my current situation
I'm searching for another day
I'm looking for a better tomorrow
My need to go is growing with the breeze
I feel a stronger urge to leave with each passing moment
These warm summer days are just a tease
The current situation appears pleasant, but it's not fulfilling
We've got a thousand reasons between us
There are many factors influencing our decision
Telling us to take this road
Pushing us to continue on our current path
And all I would've needed was one
A single reason could have changed my mind
So we'll close our eyes and walk away
We'll choose to leave without looking back
So we'll close our eyes and walk away
We're committed to moving forward with our decision
