--
The rain hit the pavement, cold and grey,
Running through the council estate,
Me and my brothers, out all day,
Living off laughter, crisps, and fate.

Dad’s old Ford, rusting in the drive,
Mum’s vinyl spinning, keeping us alive,
Bowie and Boland sang us to sleep,
Dreams in the static, memories deep.

Oh, the echoes of the past still call my name,
Flickering like old TV flames,
From hiding in fields to the corner shop,
Time moves on, but the past won’t stop.

Saturday mornings, sweet and slow,
Kicking a ball where the wild grass grows,
Stealing a smoke behind the shed,
Tales of tomorrow filling our heads.

Dad’s old Ford, rusting in the drive,
Mum’s vinyl spinning, keeping us alive,
Punk on the telly, disco at dawn,
We never knew we’d soon be gone.

Oh, the echoes of the past still call my name,
Flickering like old TV flames,
From hiding in fields to the corner shop,
Time moves on, but the past won’t stop.

Letters from school, old scuffs on my knees,
The smell of the chippy still rides on the breeze,
Brothers in battle, but brothers in arms,
Now only shadows remain in the calm.

And if I could, I’d go back again,
To rainy streets and childhood friends,
But the echoes fade, the years move fast,
Still, I hold on to the echoes of the past.

Brothers (Feat. John 'Zac' Hill)

Fire Lyrics :

Lonely shadow's following me
Lonely ghost come crawling
Lonely voices talking to me
Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone

And my mom told me - "Son let it be"
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to sweet melody
Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone

Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Thousand faces staring at me
Thousand times I'v fallen
Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone

And my mom told me - "Son let it be"
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to sweet melody
Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone, Now I'm gone

Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Ghosts and devils come crawling
Crawling my name out
lost in the fire
Sweet virgin blood is calling
Calling my name out
Lost in the fire

Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Burn, burn, burn

Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Now give me that fire
Burn, burn, burn

LYRICS

All of my life
I’ve been sitting at the table
Watching them kids their living in a fable
Looks, luck, money and never left a’wishin
But now it’s about time to raise up and petition

All of my life
I’ve been sitting at the table
Watching them kids living in a fable
Looks, luck, money and never left a’wishin
But now it’s about time to stand up and petition

Cause I’ve been wondering
When you’re gonna see I’m not for sale
I’ve been questioning
When you’re gonna see I’m not a part of your machine
Not a part of your machine

I’m not scared of what you’re gonna tell me
No I’m not scared of the beast in the belly
Fill my cup with endless ambition
And paint this town with my very own vision

I’m not scared of what you’re gonna tell me
And I’m not scared of the beast in the belly
Fill my cup with endless ambition
And paint this town with my very own vision

Cause I’ve been wondering
When you’re gonna see I’m not for sale
I’ve been questioning
When you’re gonna see I’m not a part of your machine
Not a part of your machine

I am the machine
I am the machine

Cause I’ve been wondering
When you gonna see I’m not for sale
I’ve been questioning
When you’re gonna see I’m not a part of your machine
Not a part of your machine

Cause I’ve been wondering
When you’re gonna see I’m not for sale
I’ve been questioning
When you’re gonna see I’m not a part of your machine
Not a part of your machine

I am the machine

It's Time (Bastille Remix)

In a dark kitchen in the middle of a sweaty night in Las Vegas, all 6’4” of Dan Reynolds is hunched over a laptop, slapping beats on the table and crooning lyrics into a tiny microphone. Before long, he and the other three members of indie rock band Imagine Dragons would be playing “It’s Time,” that same laptop-demo-turned-supersized-anthem, from the roof of a parking garage to a wave of thousands of screaming fans. This song title to the single from their 2012 debut KidInaKorner/Interscope release “Continued Silence EP” is an all too apt descriptor of the band’s hard-earned success—but it’s also emblematic of the deep-seated anxiety Reynolds and the rest of the band experienced leaving behind any realistic expectation of a normal job to do the thing they love most.

A third-generation Las Vegas native, Reynolds is no stranger to the adage “the house always wins,” choosing to pave his musical career with a near obsessive work ethic and hundreds of unused demos rather than roll the dice with the first songs that sprung from his mouth. It’s no surprise, then, that he was drawn to guitarist Wayne Sermon, another founding member of Imagine Dragons. Having practically grown up in a recording studio and graduated Berklee College of Music, Wayne had been practicing his guitar through meals and other socially inappropriate situations as long as he could remember; he challenged Dan in a way that was both uncomfortable and exactly what they both needed. When they began writing songs together and recognized something special was happening, Wayne called up his Berklee friend Ben McKee, who promptly dropped out of school with only a few credits left, moving across the country to play bass for the band. This sort of reckless/genius behavior is typical for Ben, who has an uncanny penchant for spicy food and a suitcase full of unbelievable road stories. More recently, the band was joined by drummer Daniel Platzman, another Bostonian schoolmate who seems way too nice to be playing rock and roll until you actually see him in action.

Several tours and three self-released EPs later, Imagine Dragons had made a serious name for itself, particularly in the west coast circuit. Although their songs vary from nearly whimsical and light to brooding and powerful, listeners are drawn to the inherent honesty in the music. The only rule of thumb for the band, it seems, is to write from a true place; the result is songs that literally run the spectrum of human emotion. Attend a concert, and it becomes clear that the live performance of deeply personal songs has a real effect on people. And the band itself is not immune, as demonstrated when Dan literally passed out into the drum set during a finale song, sending cymbals and drum stands crashing while the rest of the band played on until the close.

Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna). Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive. The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by its improbably diverse audience.

Despite it all, on any given day when they aren’t on the road playing shows, you can still find Imagine Dragons huddled away in a rehearsal room somewhere, banging out song after song in search of the next perfect track. Like most things in Vegas, the band is angled at going big or going bust. For the sake of those who love great music, we hope it’s the former.
