The Fall EP

Shedding away the scent of this
skin, these cobwebs,
muscles and sin
How was I supposed to beg?
not even an a bucket 
for your quarters to land
and how was I supposed to repent?
God or the father
I feel you’ve wronged a man

So come in, be welcome, lets begin                           
to open up our thought   
  
Even with fallen arms 
Still
We reach the stars
Forty nights doesn’t mean a thing

Crucified on these cobwebs, I spin next to nothing 
if nothing is where someone begins
to reapply and realign
The cup has gone dry
but Im so inclined to make it mine

 Now come in, be welcome, lets begin
to open up our thought

Even with fallen arms
Still
We reach the stars 
Forty nights doesn’t mean a thing
A heart of gold was washed away 
Riches to the find
Your forty nights doesn’t mean a thing
When your falling awake
Falling awake

I push and love 
and offer more than what I have to give away
Remnants of my compassions take a bow
I nod the pain away

Even with fallen arms
Still
We reach the stars 
Forty nights doesn’t mean a thing
A heart of gold was washed away 
Riches to the find
Your forty nights doesn’t mean a thing
When your falling awake
Falling awake

The Fall

I’ve set a fire to this world
a flame I admire, such character 
All I ever wanted 
was to be a ghost
and now Im haunted
by the hand I hold

 I saw the devil in your eyes
while you were looking at me my love
did it frighten you enough?

All along there came a price
to befriend this one, Adaline
She sang she sang such a sweet lullaby 
And all along there came a price 
to make bed with what I despise
but she sang she sang, such a sweet lullaby 

We went on and on and on
like two feathers in a storm
reaching for the sun
but needing a wing to help us soar
Do I resemble what is near?
or do I follow and float in the act you fear?

I saw the devil in your eyes
while you were looking at me my love
did it frighten you enough?

All along there came a price
to befriend this one, Adaline
She sang, she sang such a sweet lullaby 
And all along there came a price 
to make bed with what I despise
but she sang, she sang such a sweet lullaby

Given the shoulder and given the sword
My skin is the armor and recalls a war
Your unholy now, but your heart I implore
Shooting stars are enough to endure
Give in, give in, give in Adaline
Get in, get in, get in, get in line

Given the shoulder and given the sword
Skin is the armor and recalls a war 
Your unholy now, but your heart I implore
Shooting stars are enough to endure
Give in, give in, give in Adaline
Get in, get in, get in line

Adaline

They’ve come to take me away, my love.
Well, i’ll hold it down.
If I could break these chains, my love,
you won’t hold me down. 

So conserve your medicine
for better promises,
cause all along
we were alive.

Wait for the light
rather than wonder why
wait for the light
and all I leave behind 

They’ve come to take me away, my love.
Well I’ll hold it down
To the gallows, I make my way.
Oh, hand enchained.

Conserve your medicine 
for better promises
cause all along
we were alive
I swallow these enemies 
and make the best of friends
cause after all
we gave it a try 
And I’ll wait for the light
rather than wonder why
Wait for the light
and all I leave behind
in my, in my, in my hole...    
in the hope
hear, and watch as it all comes down.

And I’ll wait for the light
rather than wonder why
Wait for the light
and all I’ll leave behind
So conserve your medicine
for better promises
cause all along we were alive
I’ll swallow these enemies 
and make the best of friends
cause after all
oh we gave it a try.

Whisper, Whisper, Whisper, Whisper
Tell me something new today.
Whisper, Whisper, Whisper, Whisper
I need more and more.
Whisper, Whisper, Whisper, Whisper
Tell me something, anything.
Whisper, Whisper, Whisper. What I need

A waltz glued, bent rooms
Windows I can’t see through
The silence curtains my lung
But heavy is the stone 
Though a feather weighed as the soul
As Im undone 
And Im undone....

If this is a life
Let me know
Give it a’one more try
End overflown
A whisper, whisper, whisper, I need
A whisper, whisper, whisper, in me
If this is a lie
Where’d it go?

Into your view
I reach through the mirrors truth
Only, to return to this crime
But truth be told I followed
Just to see you drown
To and fro, I can not find my way out

If this is a life
Let me know
Give it a’one more try
In overflown
A whisper, whisper, whisper, I need
A whisper, whisper, whisper, in me
If this is a lie
Where’d it go?

Heavy is the stone though a feather
weighed as a soul as Im undone
Heavy is the stone though a feather
weighed as a soul as Im undone

If this is a life
Let me know..
I’ll give it a’one more try, overflown
A whisper, whisper, whisper, I need
A whisper, whisper, whisper, in me
If this is your life
Where’d it go

#goodpopmusic - Debut album SIRENS out 11/20/2020

By focusing on the fundamentals: versatile, technical musicianship and 
meaningful, emotive songwriting A LILY GRAY has the potential to make a true impact on the modern metal landscape.   

A LILY GRAY was founded by vocalist David Lynn Olsen, guitarist Sunimal Alles and drummer Ben Frank. Seasoned veterans of the Salt Lake City music scene, they instantly developed a loyal cult-following after only a few live shows. They quickly released two EPs engineered and mixed by multiple Grammy-winning Matt Winegar, “The Fall” and “Waiting Room”, the latter of which saw the introduction of bassist Justin Clark. When Ben resigned suddenly, longtime friend Brian Waite immediately stepped up as the replacement. Instantly, the band knew they had found their permanent lineup with the effortless chemistry of their first songwriting sessions, one of which would lead to the soaring art/pop-metal anthem “Story Goes”.     

Now based in both Salt Lake City and Boston, A LILY GRAY aim to broadcast their unique blend of metal, rock and space-prog ambience to a global audience with their debut LP “Sirens”. A continuous, immersive, 57-minute experience, “Sirens” was entirely written and produced by the band, and exquisitely mixed/mastered by none other than world-renowned producer and guitarist, TESSERACT-founder Acle Kahney. Recorded in 5 studios over the course of nearly 3 years, A LILY GRAY has successfully achieved a monumental undertaking in their first try that many acts aspire to their entire careers. While the band take comparisons to childhood heroes like TOOL and DEFTONES as massive compliments, they prefer to focus on the continued evolution and refinement of their unique sound. A LILY GRAY could be seen as unfeasible blend of virtues/egos on paper: David’s unique and stunning alt-rock inspired vocal composition and delivery, Suni’s virtuosic shredding ability and film score-ready electronic production techniques, Justin’s classically-trained, mathematically-driven approach to bass-playing and composition, and Brian’s Nu-jazz-infused technically mind-bending yet effortless percussion skills. However, these 4 have come together with a simple mission to create sounds that they themselves enjoy listening to, resulting in 10 memorable, addictive tracks that will enthrall both technically-inclined musicians and mainstream rock fans alike. 

“Sirens” will be released November 20, 2020 throughout all major digital outlets and streaming platforms. The first two singles, “Deal of the Month” and the aforementioned “Story Goes” are available now, both with two companion lyric videos that can be streamed on the band’s YouTube channel.
