Toronto-based independent pop artist and singer-songwriter Yan Simon defines his genre as Pop music for the Theatre Kids.
Inspired by timeless visionary artists such as ABBA, Lady Gaga, and Freddie Mercury, Yan Simon creates a unique pop sound that can be described as decadent and theatrical. It’s hard not to take note of Yan’s musical theatre background when listening to his music; it is obvious from his charismatic delivery, his storytelling lyrics, and memorable, infectious toplines.
Lyrics
Rain on a Friday Nothing but thunder and lightning The play begins As you pick up your pen And cast me into your illusion Like all good things
Still on a Sunday Nothing but deafening silence It’s creeping in through the cracks Of my trust, of my love And I’m losing my balance Like all good things
Can you be another Can you become what I need I will be your lover Will you be here when I bleed
Storm on a Tuesday Nothing but every promise You ever made to me dying of hunger Because you don’t know how to fix things You’d rather leave
Can you be another Can you become what I need I will be your lover Will you be here when I bleed I will be your lover Will you be here when I bleed
I don’t need somebody to be a hero Just a man of his word would be enough From now on I promise to be your mirror See your scars, they are diamonds in the rough
Can you be another Can you become what I need I will be your lover Will you be here when I bleed
