Letlive - Nü Romantics Lyrics

We really need letlive back now in 2018.
Don't get me wrong, I like Fever 333.
But songs like this... might mean more now than they ever did before.

They broke up?

@Terin Stewart Yeah, some time in 2017. Really glad I got to see them one time before they went. But yeah, Jason now has a group called FEVER 333 along with one time drummer for letlive Aric Improta and the guitarist from The Chariot.

@Animal Hotline damn i didnt know that

I find The Fever to be atrociously awful to mediocre at best and I miss letlive so fucking bad, especially because I've never seen them live.

Animal Hotline I'm very curious as to the specific meaning of this song. I have an idea but would love to know your thoughts

Now tell me, lady, do you feel at all? (do you feel at all?)
For all the lazy, for those you can’t write off (write them off...)
I’m feeling, lately, like you’ve been giving up (like you’ve given up) 
on every labored hand here in our promised land, on the backs we whipped then covered up

It’s not that far away, it’s not that far away
Every single time I think we’ve made it, I feel the decline I’m proudly jaded, but 
It’s not that far away, it’s not that far away
Every single time I think we’ve made it, our fantasy fades away

Grace was amazing until our faith ran out (until our faith right out)
Justice, you’re playing me for bigger bank accounts (big accounts...)
Cocaine arrangements, ghettos, and hand-me-downs (they were handed down)
She’s always got a plan to use her fellow man, no use believing in what she says, 

It’s not that far away, it’s not that far away
Every single time I think we’ve made it, I feel the decline I’m proudly jaded, but 
It’s not that far away, it’s not that far away
Every single time I think we’ve made it, our fantasy fades away

Now I’ve got it and I’ve lost everything
Every single time I think we’ve made it, I feel the decline, I’m proudly jaded, but 
It’s not that far away, it’s not that far away
Every single time I think we’ve made it, our fantasy fades away

These tired and poor, you said to bring them all to you
They’re all waiting for you to reap what you sow
These tired and poor, you said to bring them all to you (it’s all for you)
They’re all waiting for (we’re all waiting for) you to reap what you sow

2:56 I always loved when Loniel would play that fill. Glad it made it onto a record

*Loniel

It's got a bit of AFI feel to it for some reason.

YUP! I was thinking the vocals sound like Michael Jackson doing a Misfits cover.

I was literally just going to ask if anyone else heard that Davey/Jade vocal sound. AFI will always be god.
LETLIVE is one in a million. love these boys. live show is how all bands should be. so inclusive

Thought the same. Miss that old punk

So many weird/interesting/confusing mix choices

CrazedPsychosis I swear it sounds at times like they hired a different engineer for every damn song

The mix is absolutely phenomenal on this track

The long-awaited.

Needs. Lyrics.

Now tell me, lady, do you feel at all? (do you feel at all?)

The singalongs can now commence

The thing is that I can actually hit the same high notes but it sounds closer to howlin' pelle than jason butler...

Dig This Track

1:50 onwards gives me the chills for some reason. I really dig this track!

it's sounds like not posthardcore

Yeah because posthardcore isn't a fucking thing. Also, it's soul punk.

That's it! SoulPunx4Life

Soul punk is a thing they've created while "post-hardcore" is some random tag genre nazis like to put on bands ranging from Escape The Fate and Sleeping With Sirens to Night Verses and letlive.... it's like if you can't categorize a hardcore-ish band with one genre you just call it "post-hardcore"

Why do people always need to categorize every single thing? Who gives a damn if it's post hardcore, soul punk or classical music. If you like it, cool and if not, that's alright as well. The only thing they are is "letlive." nothing more and nothing less.
Cheers

+Vatschi well said.
