about

A muffled guitar with a tense tone. The strict thud of drums. Mysterious, lonesome notes that echo, like a leak dripping into a bucket. Something is about to happen. Something is not right.
“My Mind At Ease” is a song that confronts psychological fear. Dominique’s sensitive voice applies persistent pressure. “Leave me alone bad thoughts” she repeats, “begone”. Her words and emotion fight back. Somehow a peaceful glimmer gets through. Fear dissipates into “restful dreams” and Dominique’s voice rings out “victorious—glorious”.
The latest single from the Montreal artist is therapeutic in the way that it works through mental disturbance. The ominous quality of the music initially creates a feeling of trepidation. As the song progresses, the moody atmosphere builds up a certain nerve that helps to fuel a breakthrough.

lyrics

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Let me alone
You bad thoughts
You got it all wrong
Missed the spot
You’ve been here to long
Be gone be gone
Be gone be gone

Let me alone
You sad thoughts
There’s no room for you
To be blue
You’ve been here to long
Be gone be gone
Be gone be gone

What I gotta do what I gotta do
Get some peace and quiet
What I gotta do what I gotta do
Get ridda you

What I gotta do what I gotta do
Get some peace and quiet
What I gotta do what I gotta do
Get ridda you

(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave leave bad thoughts
(Get some peace and quiet)
(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave me now
(Get ridda you)

Leave me now
(Get ridda you)

What I gotta do what I gotta do
(Leave leave bad thoughts)
Get some peace and quiet
What I gotta do what I gotta do
(Leave me now)
Get ridda you

What I gotta do what I gotta do
(Leave leave sad thoughts)
Get some peace and quiet
What I gotta do what I gotta do
(Leave me now)
Get ridda you

(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave leave bad thoughts
(Get some peace and quiet)
(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave me now
(Get ridda you)

(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave leave sad thoughts
(Get some peace and quiet)
(What I gotta do what I gotta do)
Leave me now
(Get ridda you)
