Have Yourself A Merry, Little Christmas

The debut single from New Jersey band, "Vincent & the Noise" was written and produced by 17 year old David Vincent in the summer of 2018. David (Lead/Backup Vox, Rhythm Guitar), along with best friends and bandmates Mike Ricciardone (Backup Vox, Synth), Dan Rinaldi (Drums, Bass), and Sean Striegel (Lead Guitar) recorded the track from July through August. The track was inspired by David's search for the perfect combination of Beach Boys-esque melody and harmony with a modern, synth-driven, indie pop production. The track is part of an upcoming EP, currently in production.

LYRICS: 
Pack up your thoughts 
And move ‘em to shelters, 
It's been a long and lucky year. 
No innocence lost, 
a friendship remains, 
and you can't escape the way she feels. 
So don't even try, 
You already know the answer: 

This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
Nothing will ever change 
Unless you realize love is just a waste of time. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 

It's always the same, 
You throw yourself into someone 
Hoping the months of sunshine reflect your love. 
Then she puts you down 
And you wonder why, 
You did what you could to make this real. 
Oh, how could you try? 
You already know the answer: 

This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
Nothing will ever change 
Unless you realize love is just a waste of time. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 

Oh, you should learn to wait, 
And you will find the one who'd make you feel 
The way you pictured her: 
The one that got away. 

This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely. 
Nothing will ever change 
Unless you realize love is just a waste of time. 
This summer's gonna leave you lonely.

(Summer's Gonna) Leave You Lonely

David Vincent's cover of Morrissey's, "Everyday is Like Sunday" was originally recorded in February of 2018. Tracked and mixed over the span of two days at his home studio, the goal was to create a stripped down, lo-fi version of the classic track, and to capture the mood of the lyrics through the instrumentals in a more up front way than the original.
