For Our Hero song of the week, written and recorded by Beau Dave and Jay within a week about a subject of your choice.

WORDS
--------------------


Is the sun down for both of us -- 
or is it just a darker-shade round these parts?
I got 'goodbyes' melting down in my mouth 
I just can't get them out -- so tell me how   

you put the hum in humdrum town 
tonight, I'll tear it out,  

cos baby if you fold, you will never know 
what your best-hand could do -- could've given you the world 
I desired your bones -- when we got out of our clothes
I watched you break your shell and sparkle like a pearl

in our heartache we are fighter, fighters 
(put em up) 
we are fighters, fighters
(so what) 
we are fighters, fighters 
(shout it out) 
we are fighters, fighters
so put em up. 
  
We sharpen our teeth the shape of wicked 
and awaken the wild where our hearts use to be  
if life gets a little like a sinking ship 
It's cos you got to dive in

FOH SONG OF THE WEEK #2 

This ones about friendship -- specifically the kind that gets you through your teens. 
The crew jay and I rolled with called ourselves the feel good fraternity, I don't know why, it's for sure lame, but we had the best times. 
Joel, Jay and I had the best teens anyone could have asked for and we're so lucky we have those years and our friendships to look back on. 
If you're going through school right now, please remember that it's the times you have with your close friends that you remember most. 
The Feel Good Fraternity slowly morphed into a band, first a terrible one, then slowly into FOH where we've been lucky enough to live out friendships just as we did as kids. 
I think that's the coolest thing about doing the band thing -- The friendships and the good times. No matter what you're doing, hold on to them, they're what's most important and the only thing that matters at the end. 



WORDS
--------------------

Remember how we used to stray
We let the weekends ruin our brains
We kissed some girls
and lost their names 

We bought our cool 
and stole our drinks
Put hair in crowns 
and ruled the streets
I'd spit all my teeth out for you

Heartbreaks and battles
and all that we've been through
Glad you're in my crew
I don't know 
what I'd do with out you

We somehow got the pretty girls
And fuck the jocks we rolled with nerds
We always were just who we were

We fed our ear ears jimmy and blink 
We braved our teens an bruised our fists
It was worth every minute for sure

Sing for the selfless
Who got our backs and
You should know you're the best friends we ever had

-----------------------------

Hey stranger, what you in the corner for?
Get out in the cold, the moons about to fold 
Hum with your throat 'cos didn't you know
All the best songs come from the loneliest souls 

So strike a mean pose show 'em you're capable 
This sick sad world is yours so make it well 

Didn't you know the brightest stars all explode
And all you misfits and underdogs you
You're not ordinary 
Well I'm unordinary too 

Hey stranger, It's time you took to the wind 
With all of the force of a fist 

Inside this cobweb head I'm composing grins 
'Cos outcasts in I don't care what you think. 

Didn't you know the brightest stars all explode
And all you misfits and underdogs you
You're not ordinary 
Well I'm unordinary too

For Our Hero - You, Me & The Wolves

Song of the Week #4 

This will be the last song of the week for a little as we start writing our next record
Can I just say this has been the most amazing experience for Dave and myself -- writing songs for you, by you. It's kinda what it's all about and has definitely made me look at songwriting differently, I've learned a lot. 
I suppose it's fitting then that this SOTW is the most personal of them all. I won't go into it to much, every single one of you has battled the same feelings before but what's important is knowing that there's light at the end of every tunnel no matter how long the journey may be. 
If you know somebody troubled, somebody quiet, reach out and take their hand -- there is nothing so terrible in the world that fighting together can't prevent. 


WORDS
-------------------

I've slipped down the drain 
I know how it stings 
when you're too numb to feel a thing else 
I've climbed out of the ruin
and I've come too close
to let you go now -- I'll be your 

uh,  
I can be your ladder 
I can be your door
I can be the light in the dark if you want
I can be the fire in your eyes
I could cut your troubles down to size 

if you ever low, low, low
remember that it ain't so cold
that a little, little sun won't show 
and get you up off the floor 

I've slipped down the drain 
I know how it stings 
when you're too numb to feel a thing else 
I've climbed out of the ruin
and I've come too close
to let you go now -- I'll be your way out 

uh  
I can be your fighter 
I can be your force
I can take the hits in the ring if you want
I can be the sunlight in your night 
I could conjure away your plight 

if you ever low, low, low
remember that it ain't so cold
that a little, little sun won't show 
and get you up off the floor 

I've slipped down the drain 
I know how it stings 
when you're too numb to feel a thing else 
I've climbed out of the ruin
and I've come too close
to let you go now -- I'll be your way out 

it was 2007 now I think of it, november 
when I stumbled to a closet and pressed a wrist to a hanger 
and I scribbled out a letter and addressed it to my mama 
and I told her that I loved her and it never was a fault but 
nah I never did it, got through it with my friends 
I started this band and never looked back 
goes to show that there's promise if only you can keep it 
I will show you that 

I've slipped down the drain 
I know how it stings 
when you're too numb to feel a thing else 
I've climbed out of the ruin
and I've come too close
to let you go now -- I'll be your way out
