Good News From The Stereo

Derek Griffey One of the best bands from the Michiana scene of the early to mid 00s. From The Post in Goshen to the Skunks Nest in Niles and everywhere in between this band constantly won over angsty metalcore kids. Some of my best high school memories have these songs as the soundtrack. An Unbroken Line stands out as their most well crafted song. They should have had as much success as The Honour Recital and Kingston Falls. Favorite track: All Their Charity.

Brandon Johnson Local band from my area; blew my mind as a teen and easily found its way into my top albums, and the most nostalgic record I own. Favorite track: Steve Turner.

You set the city on fire with your heart when the field reports came though I call it an over-reaction you claim it's not that hard to do I call it a constant push in truth I don't want to be the one who changes at all And I won't go through another second of setting the record straight

Wake up angel and open up sore eyes What's the red for? These have been long nights but I have arrived and I am here to stay They'll have to kill me before they take me away from you again And we're only kids but that's no excuse to write us off the way they do It's so much more than they give us credit for and you're sure and we're on our way to go And you're safe and we are... I don't want to see anyone right now I'm sounding the retreat I'll lock my door and lay down I plan to fall asleep forever Wake up angel and open up your eyes What's the red for? Why the hiss and fight? And all the liars who whisper in your ear somehow divide us and make us insincere Oh what a shame how they ruin names and build their walls We'll build a fortress of our own And cables running through the trees will be cut off like a disease We'll throw our phones into the street and be an island in the sea where you are safe and we are sound asleep So play the songs that remind us of how warm it was in August 'cause this cold can't last forever And the sun will re-invent these barren trees Bringing up the past call out everyone for who they are Take it all back Don't go home all alone Never got a blessing out just cutting down

Steve Turner 04:18
It's not about the times I doubt They simply never cease I don't think that I can honestly be sure of anything I'm getting tired of being scared to make a move Oh it's so tired I'm getting so damn tired of all this waiting Cool and confident Lyrical and talented Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't that be so... "But don't you change the way you are and don't you lose that static frown You simply wouldn't be the boy we know." Well when you're right you're right So I'll tie my hands at the wrist I'm so panicked over being wrong I'm can't seem to finish anything at all I'm all focus and determination when the page is blank then I am stalled incomplete and written off You've got nowhere else to go I want to be the boy you fell in love with once again For every single second that you my dear have wasted on me I apologize for the indecisive boy I can be I want to be cool and confident lyrical and talented Wouldn't life be perfect if I was?

Let go following some girl that I barely know We'll take these cars as fast as they can go on this far too open road Spill carbon on the concrete and leave a trail I don't care You'll catch me if I'm lucky I won't hide my hands I don't care Good news from the stereo: I'm not the only one It was a flat gray line but that's life She was good to me Patient and waiting and everything a good one's supposed to be But we lost what I admired with no why And I strangled out that fire like old times You're alone wondering why he won't answer his phone And you think that after everything you've been through he'll never want to leave you But he's in his car smelling all the perfume on his clothes And he thinks it's wrong but if he has to tonight he can forget you Just because you're not sad it doesn't mean you're happy are you? Just because you're not scared it doesn't count as bravery

His loving wife She said she misses him dearly And she still gets up early in the morning like to wake him up She said life was much better when they made it up She's got his pension check in a frame next to the bed Kisses it every morning so she'll never forget who he was, what he did It should matter more than this Few things remain clear to her about him That voice, that phone. without his calls that he's late, it doesn't feel like home We'll build an overpass so the underclass won't cross our street As you write zeros, the boulevard grows And this was him He was a company hero He was a martyr for zeros and the bottom line But he traded his family for the overtime. You always say you want to have kids but your life's over when theirs begins And all the money that you're always saving for vacations that we never take. Take all your money and give it away to some cause that we can relate to Sponsor a corporation and keep the markets alive Remember your sweet hair and how you used to let it down for me? Was that passion? Or just the fashion? Not one more late night dinner alone Not one more goodnight over the phone. There's too many empty rooms in this house. We'll tear down the walls til everything falls down

novia, we're blessed and we were always on the crest and we were best of friends long before the night could end now we'll point our fingers to whose fault it was we took so long to come around but i vote we be happy now novia, it took a lot of courage to say the things you did and i'm glad that you found in yourself what i couldn't find in me we shouldn't care whose fault it was we took so long to come around i vote we be happy now what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner but your past is gone, focus wrong stoke the fire that burns the letters ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now and you'll believe somehow somewhere between the actions that i can't stop and the words i can't get out let the way my fingers part your hair speak volumes to you now and novi, you're the strong one novi, you're the strong one what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner but your past is gone, focus wrong stoke the fire that burns the letters ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now open up your eyes morning bless your sight oh, and i cannot believe the things we did last night now you are like a ghost living in my town everywhere i look and yet you're nowhere to be found but your past is gone focus wrong stoke the fire that burns the letters ship to shore swim some more no one can hold that against you you're the accident that happens when we're busy making other plans i never saw you coming i hope i never see you go what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner but your past is gone, focus wrong stoke the fire that burns the letters ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now not now..

Oh darling, I claim responsibility. Thought it was one of those silly things T was through with believing But also true, I blame this awful fate on you You're so young and so far, what fools we are But there will always be roads between our homes And there's an unbroken line from your door to mine And I said, "Oh darling, I barely know a single thing that I'm sure is true about you, oh what will we do?" And she said, "Oh baby, now that don't really change a thing 'cause it feels an awful lot like love, ain't that enough?" Well, oh darling, I've got an ugly selfish streak But I'm trying so damn hard to be what you believe There will always be roads between our homes And there's an unbroken line across four hundred miles and two state lines There will always be roads between our homes And there's an unbroken line from your door to mine

And she said, "God, you know I love you so much How could you let this happen? What did that boy say to you? Did he say he cared? Well even if he says he does, believe me he will leave you And if you need to lie I'll do that for you." Take your sleep with a glass of water Say goodnight and hope tomorrow will be better I know you just want to sleep all day and dream the rest of the week away But when the birds sing to the sun You need to wake up We'll take our chances with the wolves She said, "No, not my little girl We'll take care of this, angel, no one has to know" But I don't care for that attitude or the senseless ways you make your points and all the selfish things you do You need to wake up You want to get back there before it hurt Or maybe skip forward into the earth Well I would do anything I can to make it work I think it's just that trying to forget only make it worse Baby it's your heart Only you know when these feelings start to grow We're past dreams of letting go but know that you're not alone To all the things I've ever hated Add being underrated And I can't wait to show how wrong you are

Your Majesty 04:25
beautiful, proud and pure and oh so radiant that's not enough? i can go on as the list grows long til you're satisfied and you can sleep at night believing that you're perfect in every single way (are you perfect now? do you believe me? we'll see) and you ask for my opinion, but i can't disagree well i give up your majesty it seems like you had to be constantly reassured by me i'm sorry but this forced compliance it will not fly and if we're failing you're a liar and i'm a fool to fight no, i'd die for you your majesty let's be honest please this was one mistake that i can not forgive you fold out long before we do you're gonna have to change

We are barely getting by We are liars of the worst kind If you're scared then I dare to be insightful Who left who? Me vs. You Sleep through another wasted holiday The social life never was my style But I remember staying up all night and watching your eyes sleep

I didn't choose the state I was born in like you didn't choose the day you were born, so don't you tell me how inconvenient I have become. There's not much more than sentiment that's keeping me, not much case for hanging on. Who says where your belongings are is where you belong? I think I'd be happy wherever you are and each time I come back, it doesn't seem as far. I'm kinda disappointed that I only just met you and envious of your home town and everyone that always had you around. I'm starting to think that it's not the goodbyes but the in-between that gets you down. We've walked the streets of your town a few times now. God knows how uneasy I feel about change, but the more I come here the more I wanna stay. And I don't know these streets and I don't know the way but this place could be my home if you want me to stay. You should know that I'm not quite deceiving, just sometimes quick about moving on. Some ghosts need to be hid before they move along. I'm banking on your loneliness and I hope you don't take no offense to that. It's nice to be the place where you keep coming back. And I don't mind my role or your predictable ways. I swear the more you love me, the less I'll be away. And I don't know these streets and I don't know the way, but this place could be my home if you want me to stay. If you ask me to stay, this place could be my home.
