About This Track

A fleeting encounter at a concert becomes the seed of longing on 'dec 11th'. Givēon sings about spotting someone in the crowd during a performance, their face lodging in his memory even as the moment slipped away. The song is rooted in a real incident from a concert in Houston, where the specificity of the date and place grounds what might otherwise be a generic love-at-first-sight narrative in something more tangible and wistful. The production is minimal, letting Givēon's voice carry the weight of the infatuation. He frames the encounter as a missed connection, one he hopes might be remedied if the object of his attention hears the song and responds to his plea. It's a straightforward appeal wrapped in the vulnerability of someone aware that proximity and circumstance have already worked against him. The track runs just over a minute, brief enough to feel like a moment captured rather than a fully formed story, which suits its subject matter perfectly.

"dec 11th" is a track by GIVĒON, from the album Give Or Take, released 24th June 2022. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

dec 11th

[Verse]

Butterflies in my stomach, enough to make me fly away

Pretty brown eyes, I seen you from a mile away

But I was on the stage, so I couldn't get your name, but

Babygirl, I got your face

Can’t believe I lost you in the crowd

I think about you every day

And girl, I won't be here for long (Uh-huh)

So baby, if you hear this song, can you come to me?

Pretty brown skin in Houston, I could use your company

Ooh-woah

[Outro]
