Hey Our Basement,
My name is Juvon Taylor. I’m a Toronto-based musician whose sound takes inspiration from the Pentecostal Church choir, the guitar, and my city’s local scene.
Today, I’m getting in touch to share, “LMK,” the first of a series of monthly singles.
I wrote “LMK” at a time when my girlfriend wasn’t sure if she wanted to be with me anymore. I wanted her to figure out her feelings and let me know asap!
I find that not everyone is able to stay level headed while dealing with a potential loss.
I was simply trying to have a dialogue about what was going on.
I didn’t want to waste any more time. Either I stayed and we worked it out or I hit the road.
Tell me if you still feel the same
Tell me if I still blow your mind like that
If it’s a no then walk away
These are my favourite lyrics from the track because they’re raw and honest.
To me, “LMK” is open and vulnerable, but in a conversational way.
“LMK” is the tale of someone being in a relationship and not knowing if the person they’re with is the one for them. There’s a lot of emotional ping ponging before the break up, or maybe they see it through?
In this song, it’s left a bit unresolved. If you want to find out what happens next, there may be a follow up…
