**Album:** Jaco Jaco - "Charade" · **Artist:** Jaco Jaco · **Released:** 17 April 2026

There's an appreciable alchemy at work for Jacob Theriot, known as **Jaco Jaco** here, on his newest single "Charade." The light touch and funky, undeniable groove keeps Theriot's work in the clouds even as he lyrically vents of a reality that's "held me up and hung me upside down."

Theriot's not wrong. He's right to seek what's authentic in an increasingly superficial existence, but it's meaningful work to take such important reflections and share them in a way that's this inviting. After getting his start as the bassist in Sports, Theriot is following up previous solo albums like *Gremlin* with the sort of single that makes us excited to hear more. Fortunately, *On The Levee* is out July 10.

**"Charade" lyrics:**

*Set and forget it* 
*Reality has made its bet* 
*Held me up and hung me upside down* 
*I should have known that* 
*I’m only getting older* 
*But a number sure can lie* 
*It’s the keeping on that really matters more* 
*The way is through it* 
*No use in keeping score* 
*See I don’t wanna live like that* 
*By debts and measures* 
*I’m only like the weather changing* 
*It’s the keeping on that really matters more*

*Tear this charade all down*

*Can’t fake a profit* 
*Your number’s all made up* 
*Nothing in this world feels real to me* 
*Your silver locket* 
*Rattles in my pocket* 
*That glimmer in your eye* 
*Keeps me coming back and wanting more* 
*I should have known that* 
*You’re always keeping score* 
*See I don’t wanna live like that* 
*Need simple pleasures* 
*I’m like a dog that needs chasing* 
*It’s the keeping on that really matters more*

*Tear this charade all down*

*I’m no longer trying hard to see* 
*No longer waiting* 
*You can try and get it through to me* 
*A new beginning* 
*I’m no longer trying hard to be* 
*I’m tired of wanting more* 
*(Isolation kills your patience* 
*In the age of contemplation)*
