For the hardcore followers of ska, the grandiose combination of punk and horns, the scene has never truly died, and Backyard Superheroes are here to keep it going. The release of their new video, “Most Of All”, features the life of the artist behind the closed doors of the Coronavirus quarantine.
All proceeds for “Most of All” on Bandcamp will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). You can stream the music video and find the lyrics below.
Lyrics:
I miss the crowds
I miss the stage
I wanna scream it all away
If truth be told, it’s getting old
take it day by day
I miss the noise
I miss the drive
Can’t wait for this to end
But most of all I miss my fucking friends!
I’ve been stuck inside my mind
I just say I’m doing fine
Step a toe across that line
So I’ll just take it from the top
I’ve been drinking on the job
Too messed up to call it off
I miss the crowds
I miss the stage
I wanna scream it all away
If truth be told, it’s getting old
take it day by day
I miss the noise
I miss the drive
Can’t wait for this to end
I just wanna make a sound
Doesn’t even have to be too loud
But the world is upside down
Well I’m an extrovert you know
I’d just love to up and go
Pack my bags and hit the road
I miss the crowds
I miss the stage
I wanna scream it all away
If truth be told, it’s getting old
take it day by day
I miss the noise
I miss the drive
Can’t wait for this to end
