“Our Hearts” by 12345 – A Song Feature


     A number of unrelated questions occurred when we heard the song from 12345. The first was a weak joke – “How did they get my brother’s password?” The second was more pragmatic – “Why do groups select names that make it difficult to research them?” Then came the heartfelt question – “Who damaged these guys?”

     “Our Hearts” is easily divided into three segments. Initially, there is some self-blame – “Who was I to say that shit to you?” In the second segment, another male voice enters and the finger is now pointing away - “Who were you to say that shit to me?” Then, a crescendo leads to band vocals that amplify the emotion. Each segment is strong, but the last is most effective.  

     12345 is a group in Quebec, Canada. Their Facebook site ends with “12345isnotaband,” so we will be careful. The members are Rick Pagano, William Hennessey, Pierre-Olivier Couturier, Jessy Mercier, Simon Gagnon, Lamine Baazi, and Alexandre Richard.

Lyrics of “Our Hearts” by 12345
Who was I to say that shit to you?
Love became the reason
Why I'm gonna dig a grave or two
Guess the only thing to say is
Our hearts are bound to break in two
A million other reasons
Why I stay the fuck away from you

Who was I to say that shit to you?
Love became the reason
Why I'm gonna dig a grave or two
Guess the only thing to say is
Our hearts are bound to break in two
A million other reasons
Why I need to stay away from you

Who were you to say that shit to me?
Hate became the reason
Why I'm gonna take a life or two
Guess the only thing to say is
Our hearts are made to made us blue
A million other reasons
Why I need to stay so close to you
[Repeat]

Guess you runaway but
I will never say that shit to you
Guess you run away but
I will never
I will never say that shit to you

Who was I to say that shit to you?
Love became the reason
Why I'm gonna dig a grave or two
Guess the only thing to say is
Our hearts are bound to break in two
A million other reasons
Why I need to stay away from you
[Muffled repeat]
