The pair wrote songs as long-distance collaborators until White-Gluz moved to Montreal and they could play shows together.

The band’s moody, interlocking guitars and ethereal vocals allowed them to fit on bills with bands as diverse as Wavves, Harvey Milk, and Besnard Lakes. Meanwhile, Mexican Summer signed No Joy and issued their self-titled 7", which was produced by Miracle Fortress' Graham Van Pelt in 2010. The band expanded to a four-piece and enlisted the Raveonettes' Sune Rose-Wagner to mix their full-length album, Ghost Blonde, which was released in November 2010.

Their second album Wait To Pleasure was released in April 2013 to critical acclaim.

No Joy followed up Wait To Pleasure with an EP released November 5 2013 entitled "Pastel and Pass Out"

Ageless
No Joy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to fit in the palm of my hand
Small as the rocks that we kicked in the sand
Then you became and forgot the things we planned
We are two words neither understands

My hope for you
I hope you do
Let go

Here and now
And then just like that
Sudden

I wonder if we will be
Sudden

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to No Joy's song "Ageless" convey a sense of loss and longing for a connection that has faded over time. The first few lines paint a nostalgic picture of a past relationship, where the subject used to be so small and insignificant, like the rocks they kicked in the sand. However, as time passed, they grew apart and forgot about the plans they once made together. The line "We are two words neither understands" suggests that there is a lack of communication and understanding between them, further emphasizing the disconnect.

The chorus reveals the singer's genuine wish for the other person to find happiness and fulfillment. They express a pure hope that the person they once had a close relationship with will be able to let go, move on, and find their own path. The repetition of the line "Let go" reinforces this desire for the other person's freedom and personal growth.

The final lines of the lyrics, "Here and now, and then just like that, sudden, I wonder if we will be sudden," leave the listener with a sense of uncertainty and a question mark hanging in the air. It suggests that despite the distance and the fading connection, there is still a lingering curiosity about whether they will reunite or share another sudden moment in the future.

Line by Line Meaning

You used to fit in the palm of my hand
You were once so small and easily manageable, like the rocks we would casually kick in the sand

Small as the rocks that we kicked in the sand
You were as tiny as the rocks we playfully tossed around on the beach

Then you became and forgot the things we planned
But as time passed, you grew and started to disregard the plans we had made together

We are two words neither understands
Now, we have become strangers to each other, unable to comprehend one another's thoughts or feelings

My hope for you
Despite everything, I still wish the best for you

I hope you do
I hope you find happiness and fulfillment in your life

Let go
Let go of the past and the emotions that bind us, moving forward without holding onto what once was

Here and now
In the present moment

And then just like that
Suddenly, without warning

Sudden
Instantaneous, unexpected

I wonder if we will be
I ponder if we will ever be able to reconnect or find common ground again

Sudden
Instantaneous, unexpected
