About This Track

'43' by Austra is a 2017 electronic track from the album 'Future Politics'. The lyrics centre on insistence and longing, repeatedly returning to the question “Do you acknowledge what I'm saying?” while moving into declarations of devotion and a desire to protect someone. The vocal delivery reads like a plea that will not be dropped, with the repetition doing the heavy lifting, turning acknowledgement into an urgent demand rather than a casual request.

"43" is a track by Austra, from the album Future Politics, released 20th January 2017. The track is 4:28 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Austra.

Lyrics

43

Do you acknowledge what I'm saying?
Do you acknowledge what I'm saying?
I love him more, don't think that I forgot
I love him more, no he won't be forgot

Do you acknowledge what I'm saying?
Do you acknowledge what I'm saying?
I love him more, I wish I could protect
I love him more, nobody could protect

Don't ignore the feeling, you're in the right
Secrets of the cops are covering up the reasons
Oh I believe it, and I haven't seen it

Well I love him more

Don't ignore the feeling, you're in the right
Oh I believe it, and I haven't seen it
Oh I believe it, and I haven't seen it

I love him more, don't think that I forgot
Well I love him more, our sons we won't forget
