LEAD SINGLE FOR OUR NEW RECORD
ACTOR BROUGHT A VICE
OUT 10/13/23

Ever wonder what it's like to wake up in your worst nightmare? This song revels in the hysteria of a simple life's plan gone majorly awry. Chugging guitars and strings and relentless drums eventually give way to the love and support that's possible when willing to turn on what's there, to engage with what's present.

lyrics

LYRICS:

I’m in a dream, burst at the seams
With unicorn joy, it’s all a ploy
To get to the bottom of a barrel
A cavalcade of blindfolds await
Tomorrow never commits to us

We’re all better off
When we don’t get what we want

Hairline rising like the Toyen tide
Spending more time alone with you inside
Let’s buy a watch
It’s my favorite crutch

Cuz I just like to say I love you and count all of the stars above you

I get colder / I get colder

I’m on my knees, I’m church basement sleaze
Begging Jesus, oh no, not me
Exchange a spider for an ornament
A flutter of butterflies in its place
No change is ever permanent

We’re all better off when we don’t get what we want

I’m on TV, it’s alt-Disney theme
I’m cut from page ten, it’s a noble attempt
To catch up on the reading that I missed
On like a faucet, off with a kiss
Reverse the temperature it’s rising

Cuz I just like to say I love you and count all of the stars above you

We’re all better off if we don’t get what we want

I get colder / I get colder / I get colder / I get colder

And I just like to say I love you, watch constellations grow above you
I just need to say I need you and catch all of the stars beneath you

I get colder / I get colder / I get colder

about

Young Man in a Hurry Chicago, Illinois

Young Man in a Hurry reimagines the lo-fi sounds of their 80s and 90s youth, immersing listeners in a postmodern millennial séance.

If you’ve made it this far: YMIAH is a rotating cast of middle-aged people playing indie rock in Chicago. Their story is nothing special, but if you take time to listen, they’re actually pretty good.
