The story of

At a Cost

single / 2025-06-20
indie folk / guitars, vocals

At a Cost is about that last day before the other one moves out — the crushing, silent tears of an ending that couldn’t be prevented, the trying to make it lighter for the other person’s sake. And the parallel of traveling to new countries without a map, without directions… it might end up a catastrophe, and there’ll definitely be some homesickness, but ultimately, it’s an adventure. A new life, at the cost of the old one that was no longer sustainable.

"Road trips and broken hearts đź’”"

A huge thanks goes to Stefano De Stefano/An Early Bird to be the one initiating the creation of this song, and being a huge part of the songwriting as well as the one playing the guitar.

Let us share a few very inspiring and amusing comments we've received from music blogs around the world:

"Probably the most beautiful breakup song we’ve ever featured on IMC. One that leaves you with a small smile and makes you want to say, quietly to yourself, “Well… that’s life”." by Indie Music Center
"La meilleure chanson du duo &Tilly… / The best &Tilly song…" by Direct-Actu.fr

& lyrics

It’s the last day we have together
 Don’t be sad or take it bad
 Let’s talk about the weather
 We don’t have much to say now
 And the past keeps calling on 
 I may not call – won’t know how  
 For a while
 
 It’s the last conversation, I guess
 I’m still glad for every single caress
 We can celebrate a new night 
 Or wait hidden in the twilight
 There’s nothing left to smile
 About
 
 We’re on the road again, there’s no map
 Coordinates are lost 
 Run away and hide, or face the gap
 Life will come at a cost
 At a cost
 
 The dream we dreamt is gone now…
 
 We’re on the road again, there’s no map
 Coordinates are lost 
 Run away and hide, or face the gap
 Life will come at a cost
 Oh, at a cost
 
 On the road again, there’s no map
 Coordinates are lost 
 Run away and hide, or face the gap
 Either way, love comes at a cost
 At a cost
 
 It’s the last day we have together 
 Don’t be sad, nothing lasts forever
