I hear the trouble, the damage is done There in the distance, the beat of the drums They say a broken heart unleashes the beast You better watch out when the guitars release I’ve got a song about it This band of heartbreak You’ve got a record And it’s playing straight to my face We could’ve had a rhythm But you are out of time If I can’t get you Let the music monster make you mine The music monster creeps through the night Playing it’s heart out and wanting your life You did me dirty look what I’ve turned into Close your eyes when it’s coming for you I’ve got a song about it This band of heartbreak You’ve got a record And it’s playing straight to my face We could’ve had a rhythm But you are out of time If I can’t get you Let the music monster make you mine Deep in the basement just out of sight I summon the monster and begin to write I’ve never been good at revenge I don’t have much but I’ve got a pen I’ve got a song about it This band of heartbreak You’ve got a record And it’s playing straight to my face We could’ve had a rhythm But you are out of time If I can’t get you Let the music monster make you mine I’ve got a song about it This band of heartbreak You’ve got a record And it’s playing straight to my face We could’ve had a rhythm But you are out of time If I can’t get you Let the music monster make you mine

Jade 03:29
I have a string of pearls To wear around my neck Each bead is a memory That's choking me instead Three years of the madness And I'm who I never thought I'd be Bitter, and weathered, and water colored like the sea I'm not jealous I'm not green I'm not envious I'm not always mean After all, I have changed Into a different shade From all the jems and mistakes I've made Now I see in jade I've wrapped up all my dreams To keep safe through the moves To place on dusty shelves And lose in cushion grooves Every night I look back I shatter all that I did wrong And settle in the misfits this is where I belong I'm not jealous I'm not green I'm not envious I'm not always mean After all, I have changed Into a different shade From all the jems and mistakes I've made Now I see in jade No matter how my teachers tried I couldn't stay between the lines No matter how much I have left I couldn't wear the wedding dress No matter that I couldn't float I couldn't stay inside the boat No matter that I saw my fate I couldn't stop, now it's too late I'm not jealous I'm not green I'm not envious I'm not always mean After all, I have changed Into a different shade From all the jems and mistakes I've made Now I see Now I see Now I see Finally see Now I see in jade

Radio Silence coming through Loud and clear Nothing new left to say Nothing you want to hear It's not a science Radio Silence coming from The stereo static No one else can play The best of The records in the attic DJ put my song on pause Turn me off, hold the applause DJ spin me upside down No one heard me cry out loud DJ kill the music first Listen how the quiet hurts Radio Silence all the noise That shut you up In the night without a note Just like there was no love In the violence Radio Silence it's your turn Pick a sad song I'll burn Then get stuck in your head Like a blank album DJ put my song on pause Turn me off hold the applause DJ spin me upside down No one heard me cry out loud DJ kill the music first Listen how the quiet hurts One more paper for the pile Roll it up give me a light One more contract for the fire Least one of us is getting high DJ put my song on pause Turn me off hold the applause DJ spin me upside down No one heard me cry out loud DJ put my song on pause Turn me off hold the applause DJ spin me upside down No one heard me cry out loud DJ kill the music first Listen how the quiet hurts Radio Silence Radio Silence Radio Silence Radio Silence

It's a great day for playing In the playground after school The swingset's a-swingin' And the slides are pretty cool But alone in the distance A boy sits with intent He wonders what it feels like Outside the chain link fence A better world instead I've got sunshine and rainbows in my head It's a clockwork reaction Whenever things went wrong I would shun the world around me And build one of my own You may say that I'm a dreamer And Lord knows you'd be right Pretty dreams and perfect scenes Instead of sleep at night A place with no regrets I've got sunshine and rainbows in my head Every year that passes by I Should be getting older but it Feels the same Still the same And the dreams are getting bolder Getting harder to get over This insanity I'm trapped inside I can have the money I can have the fame I can have a palace Shaped after my name I could find the one To catch me when I fall I can see her smiling face I can see it all They're better off out there I'll take sunshine and rainbows Instead

There is beauty in the night When you're driving down the road And the moon's your only light In the sky There's a softness in the air When you're putting on a show In the middle of somewhere That you don't know And I've got my guitar But I know where you are The next time I'm home The next time I'm home The next time I'm home I'm not leaving There is lonley in the words On the radio I know that you heard In Colorado I could drive to you right now And sing you a song But you'll only hear the how I was wrong But I wouldn't change the past Just to get you back The next time I'm home The next time I'm home The next time I'm home I'm not leaving The next time I'm home The next time I'm home The next time I'm home I'm not leaving Alone And oh, the hands of time Have pushed me so far But I'm not gonna lie I'm loving it all When I'm out there on the stage I hope that you still care Looking for the face That's never there The next time I'm home The next time I'm home The next time I'm home I'm not leaving The next time I'm home The next time I'm home The next time I'm home I'm not leaving Alone (when you're out there on the road) (know that I still care) (and if you wanna go) (don't you dare) Alone (I know you're on your way) (Give it just a little more) (And when you're coming home) (I am yours)

Tall 05:49
Little bird, won't you sing to me? A song about how you came to be Is it happy, or is it sad? Is it different from the one that I've had? Little flower, won't you open up? And show me the fruits of your cup C'mon, c'mon, don't be shy I can assure you you're prettier than I I'm not afraid to be small The little things are all Tall Taller than life Little one, won't you tell me your name? And what exactly is your claim to fame? Is it glamorous, or is it cruel? Did you have to go and break a few rules? I'm not afraid to be small The little things are all Part of something greater than the rest of us Put together, they bring out the best in us The one big love I'm not afraid to be small The little things are all Tall Tall Tall Little one, stop feeling so sad Is it because of the life that you've had? You're still alive, so there's something to that We'll do right by you before your time has passed

about

Music Monster is the culmination of a shift - both physically and emotionally - for the Denver-based acoustic duo. Produced while in the midst of a cross-country move from Nashville to their new home, Music Monster contains more edge, more directness, and yet, more sentimentality. Full of the emotions and reality of leaving home, the sophomore release from Whitherward delivers hard-hitting grooves juxtaposed with heartfelt ballads that deliver their message of perseverance, in spite of what may come to pass.
