Toronto Indie Rocker Brodie Christ Releases Uplifting Devotional Single “Now I Can’t Dance” from Forthcoming Album, Big Feelings
Toronto-based indie pop/rock artist Brodie Christ returns with his new single “Now I Can’t Dance,” a joyful, reverent love song orbiting devotion and desire. With an energetic pulse and interstellar metaphor, “Now I Can’t Dance” is a tribute to awe – in partnership, in politics, and in the gravity of love.
“I wanted to write a tribute song to my partner. She is a powerhouse and an inspiration. She is the type of person who exudes high levels of both beauty and intelligence. She is a person that people orbit around. I wanted to express that her entire being creates gravity, and here I am just trying to float around and be part of her solar system,” says Christ.
Built on an expressive bassline by Kyle T Bass, locked-in drums from Miles Gibbons, and a light, looped vocal sample woven through the verses, the track is a sonic standout on Christ’s upcoming full-length album Big Feelings (out October 15th, 2025).
The song’s infectious rhythm and heady metaphor are backed by unexpected depth. Although it started as a love song, Christ couldn’t avoid societal critiques.
“Even in writing a tribute song, I found it hard not to be political. My frustration around widely accepted ideas of nation states and borders, control of people and migration, and privatization of assets like water comes through. The view from space allows one to see how petty, silly, and fabricated walls and borders are. I am inspired by a quote from Thor Heyerdahl: ‘Borders? I have never seen one, but I have heard they exist in the minds of some people.”
There’s both lightness and weight in “Now I Can’t Dance,” a contrast that feels foundational to Brodie Christ’s approach as a songwriter.
