On Big Little Lions' upcoming album AMPM, they consider the unrelenting passage of time. This second single, "Why Won't My Brain Stop," with its pulsing piano under-beat, sleeplessly questions insomnia's impact on our mental health. Cinematic strings and a marching drum push the song forever forwards to the inevitable breaking of the new day. Charming, clever and relatable songs have led Big Little Lions to be JUNO nominated and winners of Canadian Folk Music Awards, making each release a fast fan favourite, with over 5.5 million lifetime Spotify streams.

lyrics

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Why Won't My Brain Stop":

When I turn out the light
When my body's had enough
I wait for the dark to close in
When will my thoughts shut up
Oh they'll be here soon
These fraught intruders

Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop

There's no high, there's no drug
To turn the volume down
And I'm not asking for much
I need a couple of hours
I can only dream of dreams

Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop

The moment I drift away
Is the moment I recall
What I screwed up today

Why won't
Why won't
Why won't
Why Won't
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't
Why won't

(Why won't)
When I turn out the light
(Why won't)
When my body's (why won't) had enough
(Why won't)

Big Little Lions is the ferocious songwriting duo of Helen Austin and Paul Otten.

“The duo's sound mixes the new school folk of Mumford and Sons with a dance rhythm that keeps the music sounding light and upbeat. It also doesn't hurt that their songs are very catchy and aided by how well Austin and Otten's voices complement each other.” - Examiner.com ... more
