All Over Again 05:46
lyrics
buy track
She says really terrible things I know that they don't mean a thing You can buy it off the rack If you did would you kindly put back All over again All over again Oh the words that come out of her mouth She wins and it always cuts me down It's good to be seen above ground After all the things that I said out loud We had a real frightful fight Where the hell am I going to sleep tonight You think things will never ever change And your life will never be the same All over again All over again All over again All over again

Living large, high on the hog Fancy car, fly real far Stay in your lane, don't cross over Stay in your lane, don't cross over How do we get, something from nothing I'm struggling, really fucking struggling How do we shake this thought process Profit and loss, loss and profit Oooh Oooh What does it mean, do what's best for you Leave it behind, do what's best for you No one will mind, do what's best for you Success is always what you do I'm struggling, I'm really fucking struggling I'm struggling, really fucking struggling How do we shake this thought process Profit and loss, loss and profit Oooh Oooh Hang-ups, disconnect the line Not what it seems, washed by the tide Stay in you lane, don't cross over Stay in your lane, don't cross over How do we get something from nothing I'm struggling, really fucking struggling How do we shake this thought process Profit and loss, loss and profit Oooh Oooh

It’s a man maker for sure A man maker for sure When you give it up And give it up Give it up, u give it up Give it up and leave it Lying on the floor Lying on the floor Ya you’re lying on the floor Gonna hit the wall And you’re all run down Can you feel it, Can you feel it Can you feel it and you feel it Can you feel it anymore? Can you feel it anymore? While you’re walking out the door And you’re eager to please Yes, eager to please And ya never say never say never say Never, never at ease Let me be And it’ll set you free Well you’re a work in progress You’re flawless Making mistakes for all to see You’re a work in progress, you’re flawless You’re being the best person that you can be That you can be So why go back to the well Back to the well When you know its dry, know its dry Really dry, all bone dry Caught in a scandal, caught in a lie You are caught in a lie But ya never asking why So thanks for having me Thanks for having me And I bide my time, all the time, bide my time Bide my time all the time Till I come crystal clean Always come clean I come crystal clean Well you’re a work in progress You’re flawless Making mistakes for all to see You’re a work in progress, you’re flawless Making mistakes for all to see You’re a work in progress, you’re flawless You’re the best person that you can be, that you can be

True love is a drag Strip it all away Life is really hard You only get one taste Always all wound up Can’t settle down Try to be yourself Not someone else True love is a drag True Love is a dog True love is a drag True love is a God Try to dig yourself out Start a shallow grave Cart before the horse Life’s a holiday Try to dig yourself out Start a shallow grave Cart before the horse Life’s a holiday True love is a drag True Love is a dog True love is a drag True love is a God True love is a drag True Love is a dog True love is a drag True love is a God True love is a drag True Love is a dog True love is a drag True love is a God True love is a drag True Love is a dog True love is a drag True love is a God

about

Weird Brother’s latest release 'Fail Fast' is not a throwaway EP. Fail Fast is a document on #cancelculture, the disposability of social media and the unending avalanche of content available on the six-inch devices that have stolen the lion’s share of our daily attention.

Musically, Fail Fast is a snapshot of a year with friends in the beloved (RIP) rehearsal space ‘Old Krups’ on Columbus, Ohio’s East side -- specifically, the time writing and performing with close friend and brother Andy Foster. We were having dinner after a whirlwind Parquet Courts show when Andy joined the band. It was late 2018, Weird Brother was well underway and Andy expressed an interest in jamming with us. We were preparing to release our first album (2019’s True Love is a Dog), and not about to let go of the lifelong dream of playing with two drummers! So, we didn’t hesitate a moment to bring him on board. Andy is not only an amazing drummer, but a fantastic photographer and artist (see the art for Fail Fast).

Our other fellow brother, drummer and co-founding member, Dennis Ingle, has been crucial in developing the rhythmic backbone and style of Weird Brother. He’s loose and always on-point. His skills were honed during years of busking on the streets of Columbus, entertaining passersby as a one-man band behind a rotating collage of buckets, pots and pans, kalimbas⁠ — whatever he could fit on his bike trailer. Now, Dennis could pick up a trumpet or step behind a synth and make magic; adding Andy gave Dennis the freedom to shape Weird Brother’s sound in other ways.

So, here it is: Fail Fast, a short album with a big sound. We leveraged the luxuries that Andy’s presence afforded us and stretched our music, from the lead-off single, “All Over Again,” to the final track, “True Love is a Drag.”

It was great to once again work with Andy’s lifelong bandmate Jonathan Hape (Room and Board, Narrow/Arrow), who knows us all extremely well and did an amazing job helping record, produce and mix the material. We also couldn’t have done it without Glenn Davis (Way Yes) putting his final mastering finesse on the material.

Fail Fast is not a throwaway EP. Fail Fast is art. Fail Fast is a year’s worth of strengthening existing friendships and building new ones. Fail Fast speaks to the notion that once you close your laptop and put away your phone, you are still you⁠ — you are still here.

Slow down, fail fast.

Best, WB
