Tell me, are you not the same as me? Did you pay your dues in little league? Did you wash your hands of blood and greed And stumble back in times of need You are clever imitation mined from photographs and dvds You are subtle repetition tied to 32-inch plasma screens It's a delusion babe

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more appropriate Stragan song (or appropriately titled, for that matter):

Rest your head upon me I have seen your failures multiply In the folds of your eyes, draw a line To the bedroom you left far behind Just as I left mine Let me stay, and I am leaving For a while This childish place in our minds This old rusty blade in our sides That will whittle our bodies in time Down to nothing Set your gaze beyond me I have tried You won't be gone way to abide Your heart had an ocean to cry Now we're too old for biding our time And I'm not waiting

Music video for Who Knew by You Won’t. This video perfectly shows their quirky style, the nature of their live performance, and their background in theatre and experimental film.

You Won’t

Indie band You Won’t is primarily Josh Arnoudse and Raky Sastri. Their first and only album, Skeptic Goodbye, came out in 2012. Their sound is unique, eclectic, and lyrically engaging. The duo comes from a background of theatre and performance. They met in their high school theatre program and went on to do some experimental film and performance art before their music career. I had the chance to see them live last fall and about half of their set was new music, or at least stuff that was not released on Skeptic Goodbye. I hope this means we will get some new music from them soon.

Anyway, in the meantime definitely give Skeptic Goodbye a listen. It’s worth your time.
