about

I'm out of luck…so I'll make my own!🤞

Is rock bottom a place you go to pay for mistakes? Can it be avoided or is it inevitable? With so much collapse around us everyday it's easy to blame ourselves for things we can't control. As soon as we do, we invite self-sabotage; pouring fuel into an ever growing pit of despair. 🔥⛽️

But great upheaval and misfortune always presents itself as an ending when it's truly just the page before another chapter. A chance to redefine ourselves. When life takes everything away do you see past the mirage of futility to make your own luck? Our lives were thrown into chaos the last two years but we came out the other end with amazing songs and more to come. 🍀 🧨

Luck is a firecracker imploding under its own emotional gunpowder. Post-hardcore guitars blast open upon entry alongside vulnerable but jaded lyrics ramping up the energy throughout the song. Layers of brooding group vocals on the bridge reminisce the emo glory days before clever rhythm changes on the final chorus hammer home the caustic desperation with just a hint of optimism. Luck would sit comfortably amongst its peers of the "When We Were Young" Fest lineup. 🖤

lyrics

Drink up!
Cheers self-sabotage.
Pour me another line to cross.
We live our lives trapped in a lockbox,
too paralyzed to break out!

Every song a broken dirge
dissonance makes better chords.
There's nothing left worth losing now,
all this blame just leads me home.

It's just too much
I'm overwhelmed and numb.
Cross my heart
I know it hurts less in time.

I'm on my own.
Just like I've always known.
That night in Lyon...
Man, I wish I was wrong.
But our time is up.
The writings on the walls.
I'm out of luck...
That's just how this goes!

Manifesting Catholic guilt.
You could have everything you wanted
then complacency muscles in.
Waxing off, waning on.
Rumination passes time.
A stagnant grudge turns the coals.
I wanna know it's worse for you!

(Leave me alone)
It's just too much
I'm overwhelmed and numb.
(I'm at my end)
Cross my heart and I'll see you in hell.

I'm on my own.
Just like I've always known.
That night in Lyon...
Man, I wish I was wrong.
But our time is up.
The writings on the walls.
I'm out of luck...
That's just how this goes!

(Take it back)
Write it down in a note
how you really feel;
(Throw it in.)
it was all in your head
the failure, the fear.
(Make a scene.)
Write it down in a note
how you really feel;
(Start again!)
it was all in your head
the failure, the fear!

I'm on my own.
Just like I've always known.
That night in Lyon...
Man, I wish I was wrong.
But our time is up.
The writings on the walls.
I'm out of luck...
So I'll make my own!

You Monster You Kansas City, Missouri

This band should not exist. Shortly after their debut album "Chariot" released in September 2019; Kansas City punk/emo grunge band You Monster You's potential was derailed by the lockdown, brutal hand injuries and lineup changes. However YMY decided to double down on themselves. Writing and recording a new record dubbed, "Not Dead Yet" to be released as the world reopens in 2021 and 2022. ... more
