in #music8 years ago (edited)


In an era when rock-n-roll has gotten flabby and well, kind of soft around the edges, a mighty rumbling rockin' roar is coming out of the American Great Plains. Sweet Ascent whose moto is "Live Free, Live Loud" have been described as "waking up by defibrillator" have released their first full length album, Take It Or Leave It. Check out their great music video for the track "Overwhelmed"

OVERWHELMED -- Lyrics by Sweet Ascent

This writer's block will be the death of me
in the corner of my room.
These white walls won't bring me peace

they just dull my point of view.
With so many things to do
I didn't think this through,
I didn't think this through.

But I said this wouldn't break me down, but I, I lied.

I'm overwhelmed by everything around me
with all this pressure building
there's a weight upon my chest
I try to yell but I feel my lungs collapsing
I try to breathe I'm gasping
This is my cry for help

I'm overwhelmed

If this is it then I want out
there's no one to guide me
I'm overwhelmed by all my doubt
but then voice inside me screams
What about all you claim to be?
Are you really this weak?
What about all you claim to be?

But I said this wouldn't break me down, but I, I lied.

I'm overwhelmed by everything around me
with all this pressure building
there's a weight upon my chest
I try to yell but I feel my lungs collapsing
I try to breathe I'm gasping
This is my cry for help

I'm overwhelmed

WE SAID THAT WE WOULD TAKE WHAT'S OURS
WE FOUGHT FOR OUR DREAMS IN A WAR
KNIFE WOUNDS, BULLETS HOLES ARE SCARS
WE ARE NOT DONE
WE WILL CARRY ON

I'm overwhelmed by everything around me
with all this pressure building
there's a weight upon my chest
I try to yell but I feel my lungs collapsing
I try to breathe I'm gasping
This is my cry for help.

I'm overwhelmed.

Sigh So true. I like to think rock can hold out but I'm not so sure. I love that bands like Sweet Ascent still exist though. We need more bands that love rock and want to make rock music.

I do know two of their big influences are Skid Row and Guns n Roses so that kinda tells where their musical heads live.
