We're called The Ground is Dancing and here's a retrospect video of our existence to our song "Perks". The album, This Is How We Survive, will be available tomorrow!!! We're releasing it on 11.11.11 on purpose. We're trying to get some feedback. What do you think?
I’m done with all of my boring nonsense
and speaking for everything in past tense
Just want to speak for the here and now
cause I know I’m done letting myself down
overcoming things that I’ve done
finding new meaning in old songs
all about my long lost loves
whom I have no reason speaking of
I finally realized everything they said
“You’re gonna be someone.”
“you’re gonna help them mend.”
(Broken hearts, the lonely and depressed)
“you’re the voice of reason now sing to them!”
I know I will never save the world
but I can save myself
and I know I am ready now
to be the voice of everyone else
how could I be if I can’t define
the person I have been this entire time
but now I see with non hazy eyes
the greener grass on the other side
I use to curl up in bathrooms at night
after drugs and alcohol took over my life
always attempting to find an escape
but all of my reality was slipping away
but those days are gone for me now
I finally figured myself out
for what I wanted this whole entire time
was right there staring me back in my eyes
I finally realized that I’m someone
should have listened from day one
I’ve already had my time to mend
Now I reach out to all of them!
I know I will never save the world
but I can save myself
and I know I am ready now
to be the voice of everyone else
how could I be if I can’t define
the person I have been this entire time
but now I see with non hazy eyes
the greener grass on the other side
I thought I’d lost it all in the end
then I came running back again
to the voices that use to call my name
somehow they never gave up faith
in me and all of my idealistic poetry
of all the persona’s I had long to be
finding truth, no more lies
cut the rope to my demise
I know I will never save the world
but I can save myself
and I know I am ready now
to be the voice of everyone else
how could I be if I can’t define
the person I have been this entire time
but now I see with non hazy eyes
the greener grass on the other side
I'm stoked to finally record my full length album. After countless songs, song ideas, demos, I've finally gotten 16 songs to record. I'll be releasing an EP this December for Christmas and then I'll release the full length in the Spring. I'm thinking March or April. 12 songs will be on the album, and 5 will be on the EP (one song will be from the album while the others are b-sides so to speak). I'm gathering up friends to help me with this album for back up vocals, gang vocals, and people who know how to play instruments that I don't. I have two drummer for the studio and I have some people that play strings and some others that play horns. All Guitar, bass, and keys I'll be doing along with vocals. After everything is done, I'm hoping to hit the road to support this thing.
