A Moment’s Worth consists of five long-time friends from the Bronx, NY who share an insatiable drive to write, create, and perform their own music. Since 2004, A Moment’s Worth has inspired their tightly-knit fans with their tremendous energy, passion, and thoughtful lyrics. Past album releases include Ironic Last Words (2004), A Moment’s Worth (2007), and Sleepless EP (2008). With each successive album release, AMW’s growth and evolution as artists are evident. The band owes their maturity and depth in musicianship to their own hard work, as AMW carefully crafts, records, and produces each song, aided by the production talents of their very own guitarist, Nicola Terzulli. 

START WHERE YOU ARE, A Moment’s Worth’s most recent release, testifies to the band’s artistic maturation. The album is infused with a heartfelt motif: be true to your inner voice and, most importantly, don’t let past hardships stop you from dreaming--use them to propel you forward. Start Where You Are’s track “Push” embodies this message. Its tempo, which mimics a quick-paced heartbeat, is incredibly apropos, as the lead singer, Alex Bondarev, draws on deeply personal, poignant memories from his childhood. Despite the wounds of his past, he does not take the present for granted, for he realizes that his “roads led to this moment,” face to face with the things he loves most: the people in his life, his music, and his fans. The sincerity of AMW’s “Push” and the album’s overall theme is contagious, inspiring and encouraging fans to follow their own intuition and go where their hearts lead them. 

The unique sound of Start Where You Are is the product not only of this unprecedented, wide-open window into the lives of AMW’s band members, but also of the incredible amount of teamwork that went into the album. Over the course of many sleepless nights, the band weaved into their songs the guest vocals, mandolins, and other musical additions that their friends and fans provided. The end result exceeded all of AMW’s hopes and expectations; their unrestrained lyrics and inventive beats work together to create a musical autobiography that is representative of their journey as a band thus far.

To each member, being in a Moment’s Worth is much more than just being in a band. For them, the most rewarding experience is playing to a crowd that knows and sings the lyrics AMW has poured their time, lives, and hearts into. Hearing their fans’ voices echo off the walls heartens and reassures the band that their messages, living in the present and appreciating life to the fullest, resonate with listeners. A Moment’s Worth reminds us of the limitless importance of accepting and knowing ourselves through and through. 

A Moment’s worth is Alex Bondarev, Anthony Albanese, Frank Quarto, Johnny Endico, and Nicola Terzulli.

Lyrics:

Say something I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning love
Just starting to crawl

Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you

Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something

Lyric video: 

Words (feel free to use these OR make your own!)
 
"Like a star in the night,
where there’s darkness shine your light.
Hand in hand, take a stand, for our time.
Build a bridge, dare to dream
that it’s easier than it seems.
Hand in hand take a stand for our time.
For our time… for our time…
hand in hand take a stand for our time 

Brother, I have done you wrong 
when I refused to listen to your song.  
Sister, I have caused you many tears.  
My brother, I have fallen down, 
my sister, when you come around,  
I will build my life on love, not fear…. 
for our time, for our time…"

Song by Elfenworks and A Moment's Worth

Как звезда вдалеке (Like a star in the skies) 
Свет души твоей во тьме (Shine your soul's light in the darkness)
Руку мне протяни, в наши дни (Reach out your arms to me in our days)
Мост к мечте - твой ответ (A bridge to a dream -- your answer)
Трудно там, где цели нет (It's difficult where there is no hope)
Руку мне протяни, в наши дни (Reach out your arms to me in our days)

Скажи мне брат, я был неправ (Tell me brother, I was wrong)
Не слыша песен твоих глав (Not hearing the songs of your life)
Сестра, за слезы ты меня прости (Sister, forgive me for your tears)
Поверьте мне друзья мои (Believe me, my friends)
Быть может я сошел с пути (Maybe I had lost my way)
Но жизнь свою построю на любви (But now I will build my life on love.)

В наши дни.. в наши дни... (In our days)



For Our Time (Russian Interpretation)

Recorded at Runaway Studios.

DIBS ON ANTHONY - Spaced Out (Early Demos)

Dibs on Anthony was Alex Bondarev, Chris Ragone, Anthony Albanese & Frank Quarto

DIBS ON ANTHONY - Another Day, Another Problem (Early Demos)

There's a friend that you had in your youth but he's lost now. He's moved on from the dreams he gave you, what a cost now. But in your heart he'll live forever as the one that understood and always carried you through danger and you still bet that he would.
Oh do you know the texture of time? What is lost now. Oh do you know what you left behind.  What a cost now. Oh if you just close your eyes, you'll see he's waiting there for you. Woven into the texture of time. 

There's a love that you had in your youth. She is gone now. She moved on from the painful young truth. What a cost now. But in your heart she'll live forever as the one who fought for you and always waited at the station to walk side by side with you.

Lyrics: 

You’ll have days when you are lying on the ground, the enormous sky above just holds you down—like a weight you never knew. And you’ll gasp to call for help, but there’s no sound. Don’t give up, my brave soul, no, there’s still life to be found all around you when you see. 

When you see. 

‘Cause there'll be days when you will rise and know your worth. You've seen the sky won’t budge so you will move the earth—from a strength you never knew. And the voice that leaves your lungs will cut through stone. Don’t give up my brave soul, no, you’re not on your own. 

No. 

You’ll have cheated life and death. And you'll know that every breath is a constant reminder for why you were put here. 
In the end it’s just one choice and you’ll sing it in your voice: when it’s more than you can bear, it’s either life or despair. 

It's either life or despair.

The new single from our latest EP "Light" released June 8th, 2013. ©A Moment's Worth

Words: 

"We fell asleep behind the wheel. Forgot the silver charm that hangs beside your rear-view mirror. Its words fell short of our appeal. A sudden crash awakes us both, I never thought how far we'd go.

Higher. You shut my eyes to look deeper. When I was tempted to give less you gave me more. Oh, you took me low to go higher.

It's strange and beautiful how life reminds us how we never truly know what's good for us, dear. I feel a light. It was with me in my darkest hour and every time I fought to shut you out. 

Oh you can have it all but still not have a clue of what's good for you. Sometimes it all has to fall so you can see just where you cut the corners, clear the ground and start it all a new. 

Higher. You shut my eyes to look deeper. When I was tempted to give less you gave me more. Oh, you took me low to go higher."

Strange, Beautiful
