To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

Take It In Lyrics

Sloan

I know it's none of my business
What you do
But you don't have a clue
He's just a friend
But he's got it out for you
I thought I should tell you
Hold this close to your chest
No one can know
He won't let his feelings show
He keeps them under wraps although
They would love to flow
What he never told you
Is that he would love to hold you
Take a look around
Take it in
Take it in, take it in
I don't think
That it's appropriate to cry
Here's something to wipe your eye
His only fault
Was that he was much too shy
And he didn't even try
So bein' all by yourself
Is no way to be
There's plenty of fish in his sea
It's not the end of the world
Take it from me
You can take from me
'Cause you have more to offer
Than you will ever know
Take a deep breath
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Hold me close to your chest
Before you go
There's something that you should know
Put your mouth on my back
And lightly blow
Where does the warmness go
Out to my arms and shoulders
Could I be any bolder
It looks like you have been
Taken in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
Take it in
