Lyrics

Finish What I Started

Someone please finish what I started I tried my best, but my best was half hearted Someone please, you can take the credit I can leave, walk away and forget it I know what I want, what I wanted to say But the words in my mouth, I just swallowed away And the time I was wrong, I was where there was gray And the feeling I felt, it had faded, it wasn't real Someone please tell me what my name is I wrote it down, but lost track of the paper Someone please finish what I started It's gettin' out, lend me light in the darkness I know what I want, what I wanted to say But the words in my mouth, I just swallowed away And the time I was wrong, I was where there was gray And the feeling I felt, it had faded, it wasn't real

From Dork

Will Butler on Dork

Will Butler joins forces with Sister Squares for a new single, 'Willows'

The band have been touring together since 2015, and now, with 'Willows', they're officially collaborators.

Will Butler has shared two new songs, ‘A Stranger’s House’ and ‘Nearer To Thee’

It is his first new music since his departure from Arcade Fire earlier this year.

Will Butler has confirmed he's left Arcade Fire: "I’ve changed—and the band has changed—over the last almost 20 years"

He'd not appeared with the band at their recent surprise shows.

Will Butler: "I think of the record as a complex and satisfying stew"

Five years on from his solo debut, and Arcade Fire’s Will Butler is pondering his place in America, past and present.
