Runnin’ Out of Excuses - Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties

[sotiredmostnights]

when was the last time you saw a band create 3 full length albums and one 3-song EP following the story of a single dude's journey as he navigates death, divorce, and depression over the course of a decade. when was the last time you saw a musician so committed to their craft that they straight up roleplay as the lead character in their album to the point where even the live performances become a canon part of the narrative. when was the last time you listened to something as compelling and impactful as the aaron west and the roaring twenties discography.

You said, "Hold on, the wound is gonna mend And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off I'm with you 'til the bitter end"

-In Lieu Of Flowers by Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties

I think that these lyrics take the spot and will hold the spot for the best lyrics of 2024. I've never really understood getting lyrics tattooed on your body, but I think I get it now.
