“A few weeks ago, Canadian singer-songwriter Haley Blais released "Small Foreign Faction," a single that is so well-crafted both musically and lyrically that it'll definitely put this new artist on your radar. It's a beautiful and intriguing ode to what happens when you take a reflective and honest look at who you are and what you're doing. "I never wanted anything / And I never got it," Haley repeats in the chorus. While these words are sung with ease, we can't help but wonder how Haley feels about these epiphanies. The song evolves musically, starting off with just Haley's voice, an electric guitar and a faint hi-hat, and then slowly builds up a to full band enveloped by synths and harmonies that are so in the pocket. Mixed with both light and heavy thoughts and motifs, Haley makes us realize that it's more than just okay to be exactly where you are right now, and so while "Small Foreign Faction" is a song about Haley, it easily seems like it could be about you or me.” - The Wild Honey Pie, Dara Bankole, March 1 2018

♪ lyrics ♪
i'm just a foreign faction
irreconcilable conflict at parties
i feel like a chain reaction
but sadly i don't know where it started
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i like to sit around fires and catch the embers on my tongue
listening to a church choir sings some hymns about someone
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i never wanted anything
and i never got it
i'm just a foreign faction
irreconcilable conflict at parties
i feel like a chain reaction
but sadly i don't know where it started
i never wanted anything
and look i got it
i never wanted anything
and look i got it
look i got it
