Let Go

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Let Go is an energetic and worthy album opener as it sets the tone for what's to come in Two Sides To The Story. It opens with a small guitar riff provided by Nate Barker, before bursting into full throttle at a high pace, this instumental drags on for 30s seconds. It is one of the more upbeat songs on the album and the production is seamless. Let Go is a high voltage pop tune driven on by Ryan Williams' vocals, distorted guitars and Misery Loves Company's trademark gang vocals (which work as a treat) which begins the album on a high note.

Band Description: This is a very upbeat rock song for the considering the subject at hand. It starts with a huge intro, but then tones down quickly. Its basically about a relationship which is ending uncontrollably, and you would do anything to help keep it together. Really if you don't let go, you can make it back together again.

Lyrics:

It all goes back to the time when we we’re young
We we’re wrapped up in love not aware of future problems
If I asked you then, did you think it would end like this?
Would you nod along or tell me to not think about this
The stars are speaking to you tonight, maybe there trying to show you what’s right


Just hold on, and dont let go
This isnt what I expected
We gotta stop living a lie,
Maybe its time for us to pretend
Hold On. Hold On. Hold On. Please dont let go.


Is there anyway we can magically turn back the time
Back to a point where it was just me and you
What would I have to do to change your mind?
Is this just one of those things, ill never be your kind?
The sun has risen for you today, maybe its trying to say you should stay


Just hold on, and dont let go
This isnt what I expected
We gotta stop living a lie,
Maybe its time for us to pretend
Hold On. Hold On. Hold On. Please dont let go.


Hold on, never let go
Hold on, don’t think about letting go
Holding on, never letting go
Hold On. Hold On. Hold On. Please dont let go.


Just hold on, and dont let go
This isnt what I expected
We gotta stop living a lie,
Maybe its time for us to pretend

Just hold on, and dont let go
This isnt what I expected
We gotta stop living a lie,
Maybe its time for us to pretend
Hold On. Hold On. Hold On. Please dont let go

Fly Away

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Fly Away is perhaps the most infectious and radio friendly song on the record. It is a pop rock gem that opens with a light-hearted synth beat before the roaring drums courtesy of Josh Heyler burst onto the scene. Fly Away is a song which is begging to be played live, it has a seriously infectious chorus which is constant momentum builder and uses no extra effects. Williams then teases us leading into the final chorus as he softens his vocals to the bands reduced intensity, with the song's shining moment in the last 30 seconds, as a gorgeous key change and rousing final chorus kickstart this song into top 10 material.

Band Description: Fly Away was highly considered to be released as the first single from the record, but we alter opted for Cameras and Lights. We experimented a little on this, it was the first time we really went for a pop rock vibe, so we got the synh in at the start, and then let it explode.. it all just felt right. The song itself is about having to get out of this town to save your relationship. At the time i was having a real battle with LA, which was destroying my relationship. It is one of the more radio friendly songs on the record.

Lyrics:

You know exactly how I feel about this situation
You think that we can get by and we’ll fine
I wanna show how much I want you to be mine
All we need is somewhere to build or foundations


This is our time now, don’t let them say you’re not allowed, let me show you how

Just raise your glass to the sky and we’ll fly away
Take nothing, i promise we’ll be ok
Cause tonight we’ll fly and we’ll feel so alive


When we packed up and made our plans to leave
Do you ever expect the whole thing to be this way
I will do everything and anything I can to repay
The love you’ve shown to me please believe it all


Cause I believe in everything, and anything can happen, do I need to prove it with a big ring

Just raise your glass to the sky and we’ll fly away
Take nothing, i promise we’ll be ok
Cause tonight we’ll fly and we’ll feel so alive


Having a heart to heart talk before going on another long walk
Is this the reason you we're wishing i was leaving?
Im not afraid of death, I just worry who will love you like I do
Is this the reason you we're wishing i was leaving?
Caught by your smile, I was prepared to go the extra mile
Is this the reason you we're wishing i was leaving?
Is this the reason you we're wishing i was leaving?


Just raise your glass to the sky and we’ll fly away
Just raise your glass to the sky and we’ll fly away
Take nothing, i promise we’ll be ok
Just raise your glass to the sky and we’ll fly away
Take nothing, i promise we’ll be ok
Cause tonight we’ll fly and we’ll feel so alive

Everytime

UserPostedImage

Song Description: On Everytime, the album slows it down a gear and brings out Misery Loves Company's very impressive ballad side to songs. Everytime opens with a heart-tugging piano solo, with Josh Heyler lightly playing drums in the background, until about 20 seconds in where the band come together to play one of the more 'poppier' songs on the record. Williams' vocal talent is showcased again here as he changes tone to a more softer and mellow approach before jumping into another energetic, infectious chorus. It is one of the more 'poppier' songs on the record and is certainly a single contender.

Band Description: Everytime is the first ballad on the album and is probably my favorite song too! It was originally previewed on our website for the release of 'Our Last Summer' and it got a good yet small reception. I love writing ballads and with Everytime i learned the piano! So, i got a nice backing tune to it edited the previous version and the outcome was very enjoyable. Its a song i wrote about my college girlfriend who broke up with me after a 2 year relationship, although the song describes the high parts. Its got one of the most addictive choruses to sign along too.

Lyrics:

I, will try to repay your love shown to me
You are the only girl i want to call my own
The sparkle in your eyes, can be seen from the skies
So, Even in my dying breathe,
I would not say goodbye...


Everything you say, everything you do
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Everytime you speak, everytime you move
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Your where i wanna be


If i don’t get to show and tell you again
All i want is you to know i love you
With you i feel alive, without i feel deprived
So, Even in my dying breathe,
I’d tell you over and over...


Everything you say, everything you do
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Everytime you speak, everytime you move
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Your where i wanna be


Every lonely night, every drunken fight
I cant stop this happening
Nooo,
But maybe this is what it is,
What love really means...


Everything you say, everything you do
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Everytime you speak, everytime you move
You make my heart go ohh-ohh
Your where i wanna be

Drawing Blood (Featuring Sam Maine & Alex Ward)

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Drawing Blood was perhaps the most anticipated song from Two Sides To The Story as it promised to be heavier than anything the band has ever done and featured the highly impressive Sam Maine. The aggressive song, Drawing Blood, is another example of how the band are continuing o grow. Aided by electrifying guitar riffs by Nate Barker, snare drumming Josh Heyler and extremely assertive lyrics, Williams exposes more of his past struggles. With help from Sam Maine and Alex Ward on the screaming front, Drawing Blood is by far the 'love it or hate it' track on the album. Misery Loves Company's loyal pop-rock fans may not get into as much as their fans from the past will. Either way, it is a fantastic track which builds on the momentum already created.

Band Description: Well, where do i start with this. Drawing Blood is probably the most anticipated song off of the record as it sees us take a different approach, we go much much heavier and have some awesome guests on the song. The song is about a relationship which broke up because of a cheating girlfriend who is trying to get us back together again. Its an aggressive song which when originally written, contained so much swear words! We toned that down a bit to make it more respectful, but its a song which is going to get mosh pits going on tour.

Lyrics:

Ryan Williams
Sam Maine
Alex Ward

I bet you never ever expected, me to find out all the shit you had done, I hope you had your fun

Nobody takes seeing you sad better than me
Sitting back with a grin watching you plea
We wouldn’t have this problem if you had been loyal
You do remember the way you fucked me over so royally
I can’t whisper it, I can’t say it, but ill sing it


Ever since you’ve been staying in the shadows of yourself
Your never prepared to deal with the topic itself


One, two, three
This is not time for me
You’ve got to stop running away
And change who you wanna be
Not to worry what other think and see
This will never stop until the end of time
You’ve got to stop taking everything as a sign


Oceans turn red, your heart must turn to black
No matter what you do now, ill never ever take you back
Stop your bullshit remember its not be that needs controlled
So, tell me how much times did you work in that glory hole?
I can’t whisper it, I can’t say it, but ill sing it


Fuck all that shit you told me, that doesn’t make it alright
Just because you warned me, it doesn’t sound right


One, two, three
This is not time for me
You’ve got to stop running away
And change who you wanna be
Not to worry what other think and see
This will never stop until the end of time
You’ve got to stop taking everything as a sign.


When you talk me you
DRAW BLOOD
When you look at me you
DRAW BLOOD
When you move your feet you
DRAW BLOOD
IF you try again you, will
DRAW BLOOD

One, two, three
This is not time for me
You’ve got to stop running away
And change who you wanna be
Not to worry what other think and see
This will never stop until the end of time
You’ve got to stop taking everything as a sign

Cameras and Lights

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Cameras and Lights was chosen as the first single from the band and has charted reasonably well which would mean it proved to be a good idea. The song brings the album down a gear and cuts the built momentum but the band make up for it in an inspirational yet slightly cheesy group vocal powered track. Containing more "Oh's" than Cheerios (Funny, right?) the song continues to build up but then finishes as an anti-climax as we never really get into the driving seat during it. Despite this, the track is beautifully sung by Ryan Williams and well, with the help of his band.

Band Description: Cameras and Lights was released as the first single from the record and thus far has charted at number 7 on the Airplay chart! It was a really inspirational song and i drew alot of influences from Explosions In The Sky on it, it was about following your dreams and not letting people tell you, you aren't gunna make it. We tangled with the lyrics to avoid it being to cheesy, although it is a slow song filled with group vocals, its a song that played live, gives us goosebumps. Hearing the fans chant the lyrics back is, well.. breathtaking for us.

Lyrics:

We always said we’d like to be like Ryan Ross, Hernandez
They used to laugh at us and say it would never, happen
Ohhhhhh-Ohhhhhhh
They used to say we couldn’t be like this Misunderstood, Man
But tonight we’re here to tell them that we, can
Ohhh


The cameras and lights all seem so bright at, night
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Where not gunna stop til it gets to morning, light
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh


When we told them our dreams of making it, big
They used to say we’re better off being, kids
We would always say we’re happy playing to small, crowds
And tonight we’re here to show them that we’re, proud
Ohhh


The cameras and lights all seem so bright at, night
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Where not gunna stop til it gets to morning, light
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh


Dream, Over, Dream, Beginning
This is the start, we wont let it end
We wont let them say we’re not good enough for it,
We wont let them tell us what we cannot do
Because tonight is the night, night
Ohhhhh-Ohhhhhh


(camera’s and lights)
The cameras and lights all seem so bright at, night
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Where not gunna stop til it gets to morning, light
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohhh-Oh-Oh

World Come Alive

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Alas the most addictive pop song on the album. World Comes Alive is infectious beyond words from the off, with a synth based song provided by frontman Ryan Williams' sister, Lily. Its one of the songs you expect to hear on the radio, and a song you realyl dont expect to be on the same record as Drawing Blood. Despite being different to their other stuff, World Comes Alive is a highlight on the album despite its obscene lyrics. As much as you try not too, the song's "Na Na Na's" will have you singling-along and stay in your head for a long time afterwards. However, the song is exactly what the band wanted, they wanted to show their fun side, as undoubtably the band are a ton of fun which isn't always reflected in their music.

Band Description: This is a really fun song! Its about getting wasted, partying with your girl in hand. Its largely electro based with my sister Lily providing help on the synth front. But yeah its a cool song which was intended to be the first single from the album but we later went against it. It is looking like its going to be the second single. Its got a really infectious chorus and bridge, we had fun recording it with all the "Na Na Na's" im excited to play this song live. Its the most upbeat song on the record.

Lyrics:

Lets look to the sky, its the time of our lives
Oooh
Watch as the world comes alive
Just like kids in love, we would have our fun


Lets get wasted, so we dont taste it
So grab a dirnk, we’re doing it big
We’re not leaving til’ we’ve drunk every bit


Lets look to the sky, its the time of our lives
Oooh
Watch as the world comes alive
Just like kids in love, we would have our fun


Everyone’s on a roll, someone turn up that stereo
Lets keep on going, keep the party flowing
Lets be honest, this is far from under control


Lets look to the sky, its the time of our lives
Oooh
Watch as the world comes alive
Just like kids in love, we would have our fun


So lets get in the tub, we dont care if we get soaked
The neighbours won’t mind, they’ve already been woke
Pull your cup close, relax and take another sip
We aint going to be feeling fly like a G6, but come a little closer ill show you my tricks
Yo’ dude check out your swag, you keep that up your definitely getting a shh!


Lets look to the sky, its the time of our lives
Oooh
Watch as the world comes alive
Just like kids in love, we would have our fun
Lets look to the sky, its the time of our lives
Oooh
Watch as the world comes alive
Its the time of our lives


Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

Its Over

UserPostedImage

Song Description: If there is one criticism on Two Sides To The Story it would be that the album is given time to flow, once momentum is built up it is slowed right back down with a ballad. However, Misery Loves Company strive on ballads and on Its Over this is no different. As Williams belts out lyrics on how hard this break-up has hit him, the song is built up into another monster chorus. The song feels far from a filler as the song's chorus gives does it justice and makes it very radio-friendly. It is this type of music Misery Loves Company are strongest on, and with a swelling chorus paying homage to a long gone teenage romance the song feels in a weird way, 'soothing'.

Band Description: From the most upbeat to one of the most depressing! Its Over is exactly what it says on the tin, about a relationship that just ended and being in shock about it all. You never expected it and the only thing you can think of for curing it is drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Its a really personal song because i actually wrote it whilst i was drunk over it ending haha, and at the time i was destroyed by the relationship ending.

Lyrics:

I wish this alcohol would drown out all my pain
I cant deal with this, but I don’t wanna complain
Girl im just broken, I need you back so much
Please all I want is to feel your gentle touch
I want you to stay, I just can’t watch you walk away


Now its over, please tell me its not over
Please tell me you’ll take me back
Without you my life is a blank
But its over, why, tell me why is it over?


You promised me you would never say goodbye
Without you im just a regular kind of guy
I wanna know why, why are you doing this
Please I want to feel your winter kiss
Is there anything I can stay, to make you stay another day


Now its over, please tell me its not over
Please tell me you’ll take me back
Without you my life is a blank
But its over, why, tell me why is it over?


Why are you doing this to me?
Without you I just feel so out of place
Sitting around here tears streaming down my face
Why are you doing this to me?


Now its over, please tell me its not over
Please tell me you’ll take me back
Without you my life is a blank
But its over, why, tell me why is it over?

Visually Impaired

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Visually Impaired displays just how much the band has changed over the past few years. After expecting an upbeat and poppy anthem like their old material, I received almost the complete opposite, and couldn't really wrap my head around the fact that this was the same band. Producer Shay McCarthy makes his presence extremely well-noticeable on this record with fantastic production. Visually Impaired opens with a a lovely smooth guitar riff, the song builds momentum throughout. The song that is equal parts heavy, fast-paced guitars and pop sensibility with Williams' vocals hushed almost whisper like along through the verses then a huge aggressive chorus "Do you remember?".

Band Description: Visually Impaired is about finding out your relationship is about to end. Being motionless when you've just been told that its over, the world feels like its stopped spinning, you don't know exactly what to do. So yeah, its a sad song but got a huge chorus! Its quite 'poppy' compared to the rest of the record and we're really pleased with it. We dont want to think of it as a filler, because we believe all songs on our record could be released as a single!

Lyrics:

You called me early on your cell phone
I could tell from your voice something was wrong
It was visible the tears we’re running down your face
It was like the world had stopped frozen in this place
I couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, do anything
Then you told me you had been having a fling..


Do you remember?
When you told me, we would be together forever
I never knew that forever would be never
I can’t live back that day, was my vision the right way
Do you remember?


I hate having to be yesterdays guy
I was never ready to say my goodbyes
Sometimes I wonder did you even try?
So what are you waiting for?
Remember what you told me before?
Im sure he would welcome you back in his bedroom door


Do you remember?
When you told me, we would be together forever
I never knew that forever would be never
I can’t live back that day, was my vision the right way
Do you remember?


Your mine forever girl, their aint not even I won’t do for you
You just say the words, and ill be there in five like I used to
No matter what you do their aint nothing id change about us
If I ever done something wrong or hurt you, id confess
There are no obstacles to be seen in the windscreen
The rear view is cloudy but we done our best to keep it clean


Do you remember?
When you told me, we would be together forever
I never knew that forever would be never
Do you remember?


Do you remember?
When you told me, we would be together forever
I never knew that forever would be never
I can’t live back that day, was my vision the right way
Do you remember?

Darkest Nights

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Originally released as a slow piano filled ballad, Misery Loves Company went back to the studio with Darkest Nights, with the aim to make it more dark and heavier. They have certainly ticked all their intended boxes. They have created something fantastic in this, combined with Williams' personal lyrics, this drum heavy anthem will please not only existing fans, but catch the attention of fans in the alternative rock market. Taking no time at all to settle, Darkest Bights bursts into high flow before the velocity is decreased ever so slightly for Williams' vocals. The lyrics are possibly the best on the album, and thats no surprise given that the song was written originally over a year ago, most other songs we're written in the past few months. One of the only songs that we're supposed to be on the previous cancelled record that makes the cut for Two Sides To The Story, and my, it is a worthy track.

Band Description: Darkest Nights which was released as our first ever single is a really personal song to me as its a song i wrote while in rehab at 17. This was a really tough time for me and my family so i tried my best to come clean and.. well, i did. We broke out the acoustic guitar for it, and added in some piano during the verses but made sure there was alot of noise during the chorus because at the time, it wasn't so simple. Although we later edited this and made it much heavier for this record, we wanted it to resemble how tough this was to get through.

Lyrics:

Your the only thing that is good to me
Without you I don’t know where id be
Sometimes I get sick and your what helps me through
Yeah I know that I can always count on you
When im without you I feel like shit
I need to find your beauty to get some of it
The amount of time that we have wasted
Was worth it because of the way you tasted


Sometimes it makes me sick to think that your what helps me through,
But I have no one else only you,
I could never imagine seeing you let me go,
I cant resit the temptation i cant say no,
i wish i didnt experiance you ever day,
But im afraid that you maybe hear to stay,
Every time i say i cant take it any longer,
I realise that your grasp on me is much stronger?


You promised me you will never let go
I just don’t know how to say no
I decided I cant take it much longer
If only I was just a bit stronger
I hate asking you to stay
Please come back another day
Im not the man you once knew
I need some help to get through


Sometimes it makes me sick to think that your what helps me through,
But I have no one else only you,
I could never imagine seeing you let me go,
I cant resit the temptation i cant say no,
i wish i didnt experiance you ever day,
But im afraid that you maybe hear to stay,
Every time i say i cant take it any longer,
I realise that your grasp on me is much stronger?


I wish i didnt experiance you ever day, but im afraid that you maybe hear to stay..
I wish i didnt experiance you ever day, but im afraid that you maybe hear to stay

Sometimes it makes me sick to think that your what helps me through,
But I have no one else only you,
I could never imagine seeing you let me go,
I cant resit the temptation i cant say no,
i wish i didnt experiance you ever day,
But im afraid that you maybe hear to stay,
Every time i say i cant take it any longer,
I realise that your grasp on me is much stronger?

Take It Away

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Take It Away is another upbeat heavy rock song giving the topic in hand. It has the most anthemic chorus possible, that will have even the largest stadiums in the world singing along. After the first listen of the song, it is impossible not to sing-along to the chorus. With this being more anthemic, you take less notice of the verses and the lyrics, which are actually really dark and emotional. Williams vocals are slightly more harsh on this track and this is added on by screams over the short bridge by guitarist Nate Barker. Like Darkest Nights, the song gets straight to business with soaring drum bass and distorted guitars with even a hint of strings in around the bridge. The song although short, is massive and is sure to be a fan favourite.

Band Description: Take It Away is an upbeat song focused around a past girlfriend who cheated on me with another person. Its not as depressing as it sounds, we tried to use some light-hearted lyrics just because is was a joke what happened, something i couldn't believe. It starts of with a long 1 minute instrumental which basically acts as the intro the album, it really shows you what's to come on the record its a good teaser. Its a big FU to past relationships! Its a great song to play live and has a monster chorus.

Lyrics:

We were just the happy couple, confessing our goal
I had no idea you where gunna send me to a dark hole
We were 16, you had the kids names planned
We always imagined watching them play in the sand
But this was all before,
I watched you walked out of his bedroom door...


When you take it all, take it all away
You wont drag, no you wont drag me down
Ill never, make that mistake again


You can’t even imagine what it feels like
All along I was going with a dirty fucking dyke
The old phrase, don’t get mad, get even
Im not like that, its not something I believe in
But this was at the start,
I then found out you we’re a fucking tart


When you take it all, take it all away
You wont drag, no you wont drag me down
Ill never, make that mistake again


Take it all..
Take it all...
AWAY!


When you take it all, take it all away
You wont drag, no you wont drag me down
Ill never, make that mistake again

When you take it all, take it all away
You wont drag, no you wont drag me down
Ill never, make that mistake again

Parties Over

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Parties Over has a more relaxed and kind of laid back feeling, a really good melody and strong lyrics. In the end I think it is a a song that makes a largest impression on the record. With the tempo being reduced again for Parties Over, Williams uses his voice on a different and interesting way, he manages to capture so much emotion in a low tone before again demonstrating his talents with soaring vocals during the chorus. The song is long begins with light guitar strumming before some beautiful work on drums by Josh Heyler as the band create an emotional sounding instrumental. The song returns to its beginning fashion during the verses with light strumming combining with Williams low vocals. The bridge to the song is very different, joining the emotional guitar strumming is an middle-aged man speaking over the top of it, confessing his love for a girl. The track borderlines on emo and is one of the saddest songs Misery Loves Company have composed.

Band Description: Its the balance between upbeat and sad again here. Its probably the sadest song on the album, about a bad break-up. Its when you feel you've reached as low as you could, then hit a new one with being dumped. I think its really affective because instead of including a bridge, we have got something a little different on there instead which makes the song more sad. It is also one of the only songs on the album to include an instrumental solo. We have a feeling this will be a fan favourite.

Lyrics:

You..

Ive been in this situation far too many times before
How longer will I be dragged along by this whore?
Yeah fuck it,
We’ve been together for just over a year now
You broke my heart, yeah go on girl, take a bow


It was you,
Its always been you, it’ll always be you, im so sick of you
The parties over
Blame me, you always do, turn the tables on me
Yeah parties over,
Its finally over


Same old excuse, you would say it’s not your fault
Hearing them words is like opening my heart and adding salt
I cant forget it it,
This isn’t the first and it wouldn’t of been the last
You beg me to stay, I need to get out of here fast


It was you,
Its always been you, it’ll always be you, im so sick of you
The parties over
Blame me, you always do, turn the tables on me
Yeah parties over,
Its finally over


“Without her in my life, I don’t know where id be”
“She’s the one girl I can always rely on”
“Shes my pride and joy”
“I wouldn’t change her for the world”
“I love her”
“Forever and ever”


Don’t settle for comfortable, your so much better than that

And if I could tell you everyday, how I feel
Would this help us heal

Its Playtime Kids (Featuring Kamikaze Kate)

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Its Playtime Kids takes off at an emphatic pace as the band come together on what feels like a song that is actually being played live. The production is once again fantastic and over the first chorus, Williams voice is dare i say it, auto-tuned ever so slightly. Again Williams' sister provides nice work on applying synths to the verses. the lyrics are cryptic yet make sense to Williams as he chants them out light-heartedly. Although where the song really comes to life is during the bridge which features no other than the infamous Kamikaze Kate. Kate's vocals fit the song like a charm and she helps command it as the song hits climax as she sings out "Its playtime kids". Its a short song that packs a punch.

Band Description: Its a strange one. Its a song i wrote while on the tour bus with the boys in my high-school days, where ym girlfriend at the time was complaining because she never saw me, but then when i was back in town, she always had "other plans". So i basically just scribbled a few words made them into verses and a chorus. I felt the song lacked something, the lyrics are quite weak but they mean something to me so i wanted to get someone on vocals who could make the song fun and make it special and unique.. thats when we found kate.


Lyrics:

Ive been waiting for this moment forever
Never felt like it was gonna come
Ill wait not much longer
Im leaving December
A long way from home, a long way from you


So, looking back what have I done
Nothing that was worth the trouble
Even if this is the end
I wont be upset, I have had my fun!


So gimme just a minute to figure out
What really is going on
Hurry up with this fuck sake
Dont fucking waste my time
This is not the end, but I hope its near


So, looking back what have I done
Nothing that was worth the trouble
Even if this is the end
I wont be upset, I have had my fun


Follow, Follow, Follow me
To a land that others weren’t meant to see
Tied to your bed that night
I didn’t even put up a fight
Those we’re the days, playtimes back kids


So, looking back what have I done
Nothing that was worth the trouble
Even if this is the end
I wont be upset, I have had my fun

Set The Score

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Set The Score is one of the more personal songs on the album and serves well on the album. As Williams sings on about how happy he is that this girl is noticing him, he is overjoyed by this, before changing his tone at "I was to afraid to ask" where the song gets much darker. The song is essentially a pop song and would make an impression on most airways as long as they weren't bumming electronic pop. The song plays out over a nice clean and clear guitar backing and this is really the only song where bassist Riley Donahue makes his presence noticeable as the song breaks down over the bridge into a raw bass driven post-hardcore point. Nate Barker again provides his screaming talent as the song reaches its dark climax.

Band Description: Set The Score was written during the summer, one of the last songs written for the record. I wrote it whilst i was on holiday in Europe, Cyprus to be more precise. And ah, i would lie at the pool all day for one reason, to look over at the girl sunbathing at the other side. Its not as creepy as it sounds. We we're both giving each other the eyes y'know, i was running high on emotions, nothing could keep me down. So everyday i would come down to the pool just to see her. However, one day she left.. her holiday ended. And i was so pissed with myself for not making a move, not talking to her, getting her number or even knowing her name! Its got a real pop-punk vibe with a few screams from Nate.

Lyrics:

I knew from the very first day
That this could be my happiest stay
Your long blonde hair matched with your smile
Its just some of the things that attract me about you
I thought this could be the start of something
I was too afraid to ask in-case you gave me back nothing


Your the pretty girl that everyone wants
I just hope that i could be the one
It was the moment i had been waiting for
A chance for me to set the score
Come on lets set the score


I always knew that i wouldn’t make the first move
I would just sit back and expect it all to work
You where just the shy girl who gave me the signs
All i wanted was your attention to show you mine
We would stare for seconds which seemed like hours
i was thinking your the girl ive been waiting for


Your the pretty girl that everyone wants
I just hope that i could be the one
It was the moment i had been waiting for
A chance for me to set the score
Come on lets set the score


You are the only thing
You where the only thing
WOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH


Your the pretty girl that everyone wants
I just hope that i could be the one
It was the moment i had been waiting for
A chance for me to set the score
Come on lets set the score

Runaway (Featuring Chloe)

UserPostedImage

Song Description: Runaway is the only acoustic based ballad that always seems to get thrown in on these type of records. But make no mistake, this is no filler track. It's a slow, acoustic number which eventually leads to some big sounding guitars to accompany the duel vocals of Ryan Williams and pop sensation, Chloe, who guest features on the track. The song builds from the start, as it begins with a quirky and sweet acoustic string plucked sound although as the first chorus comes it begins to build, with the introduction of Heyler on drums yet the track remains mellow as the band tease with fake climaxes. AS we enter the bridge, we hear the ever-present on this record group vocals chanting "runaway" over a guitar and percussion building instrumental. Before taking off into buzzsaw guitar lines and a pounding finale, where Chloe is introduced and signs her extended verse over the pounding drum beat. The collaboration then climax's on the songs final chorus as both Williams and Chloe combine to sing the chorus together.

Band Description: Runaway, the album closer. Its a really nice song with quirky lyrics. After writing it, i thought the song required female vocals for it to work. So, we called up Chloe and her management and they we're more than supportive of this cause. Its really a song about a relationship, the highs and lows. A relationship which has many break ups which is showcased in the second verse, which is a change of mood compared to the first one. And then on the bridge which we are very happy with, me and Chloe both sing together and we feel its effectiveness. Standing at 6minutes long, we hope it will keep your attention throughout!

Lyrics:

Remember when, we’d stare right at the stars,
We would pick out which one was ours
My eyes are sick of these tears,
You think we’d been together for years
Yeah we’d pitch the tent, we’d then have an argument, but soon after we we’re content
I loved you then
And I would do it all again


Wait for the darkness tonight,
This will be the night, where we will runaway
And not look back the next day
This our runaway, our chance to make it alright
Together we’ll runaway, your my runaway-ay


Where did we start to go wrong, was it already that time
The time to move on
We would stayed out my back yard, talking for hours
Lying on a bed of flowers
You always said forever, no matter wherever, ill be there whenever
You call me up
When did we sip on deaths cup


Wait for the darkness tonight,
This will be the night, where we will runaway
And not look back the next day
This our runaway, our chance to make it alright
Together we’ll runaway, your my runaway-ay


Runaway. Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway.


Wait for the darkness tonight,
This will be the night, where we will runaway
And not look back the next day
This our runaway, our chance to make it alright
Together we’ll runaway, your my runaway-ay


This is not the end but its near,
We cant try to pretend that we wont fear,
This cant be real I wont accept it,
Please help us heal I just cant quit it,
Theres you again Saying it wont last,
Put me through the pain Saying we had a blast,
There is no way That we will be back,
Its time for us to stray We’ll never be on track..


Wait for the darkness tonight,
This will be the night, where we will runaway
And not look back the next day
This our runaway, our chance to make it alright
Together we’ll runaway, your my runaway-ay


Runaway.Runaway.
Runaway.Runaway
