Lyrics:

Your skin it glowed like a neon sign
Drawn in to your bones still luminous
Tubes to bags on a pole at your side 
Couldn't stop our eyes from betraying us

Talking about time
Like it was ever on your side 

They sent you home and let hope ignite
Too young to know what it meant for you
Talk of cells in red and white
We played outside without a clue

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that love, will push us through

I watched the adults faces change
And I knew it was serious
Feigning strength to compensate
For our lack of experience

I never had a place for God
I still don't see where he comes in
Just genetic bad luck and flaws
Took the bravest soul there's ever been

An empty room with curtains drawn
And a feeling so dark
Throbbing ache in our hearts as we dragged on
You showed us how to keep our heads 
Never letting your smile fade
You were only a child,  but you were strong

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose 
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that
You have everything,  if you have anything
Kids to have and years to use
Never out of sight, always in our minds
No ones forgotten you.

Straight Line

Wanted to be loved  
          by Daniel Ahearn &Rich Jacques
________________
There’s a gentleness I’ve known
Knew it best when it was fading
Trying to find my way back home
Don’t you know, there’s no escaping

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Turned away from all my dreams
broken down disintegrating
Ignored the signs of all deceit
couldn’t believe - can you blame me?

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Didn’t see until it all was done
Felt so right to hold someone
what i saw in you was almost true
brutal what the heart will do…

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Under the weight 
Of what I didn't do, I found myself hid 
Under what I did, but I'm home for the summer 
Smitten by a song 
I wish I'd writ ringing in my ear, in my ears

And twenty-four years 
I'd drive to the seaside for a coconut kiss 
And a place to hide, and so I'm reminded 
Of a man who was blind 
When he'd talk, talk, talk, and say nothing at all, nothing at all

I've never seen an eye so green 
She's the moon and I'm the sea
The keen perfume of jealousy 
I've never seen an eye so green

Under the weight 
Of what I didn't do, I found myself hid 
Under what I did, but it's the end of the summer
And at the foot of my bed 
Is the same old song, running round my head, round round my head

I've never seen an eye so green 
She's the moon and I'm the sea
The keen perfume of jealousy 
I've never seen an eye so green

You can say whatever you want my love, your love is back to front

Mean Thang - feat H/\RVEY

This song really feels like something special to me and the next step for Written Years. It’s a corrupt little 2 a.m. love song about finding yourself in this strange world. -Wade

Lyrics:

Turn the lights down now, I am all worked up
Try to shake it out, play the part
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

‘Til we are cut in thirds on a restaurant stage
Where the ribbon girls spin and I
Am caving down, a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance all alone in the dark
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I am lit, half asleep, throwing darts at the mirror
I am shaking right now like I shouldn’t be here
Even if it appears as a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I’ll wait a breath then take something to calm down
Bury my mistakes, spill it all
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

So kiss me darling, I’ve been asleep too long
I can stand up right, clear my head
And it’s all a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood, hit the lights and get it all out
I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance as you’re falling apart
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

Shake it out, just shake it out,  just shake it out now

"Songs by January May are immediately identifiable by their shape-shifting soundscapes, heart-pounding percussion and dreamy vocal harmonies." - Belk's Southern Musician Showcase

The trio had plenty of shows where they questioned the amount of attendees that would show to a performance, especially when they first began as a duo in the town of Union, Missouri. Matthew Campbell and Kg Lillian started January May with high hopes and higher expectations; dreaming outside of the limitations a small town challenged them with. As they prepared to release a demo album, Campbell and Lillian played open mic nights at the only venue locally available to them. With the support of their families, Matthew and Kg kept pursuing opportunities to play out and write, releasing the "Back to Back EP" in the summer of 2012.

It was this EP that they set off to the races with. The band discovered an online music sharing competition called ArtistSignal and quickly uploaded the EP for users to hear. As the duo began to play out to schools to gain support in the contest, Adam Zimmer, a bassist that had played beside Campbell in two separate groups, joined January May to fill their sound. After two months with little to no sleep and eyes glued to the voting button, January May won the first place prize of $10,000 on ArtistSignal with the help of their growing fan base. 

With this win under their belts, the duo turned trio focused to reach their next goal: a full length debut album. Zimmer contributed rhythm with his bass and drum additions recognizable under the new, amped up sound of the once acoustic group. With content hearts and determined minds, the group traveled across the mid-west to record in three studios. It was in each one that they found something different that January May needed to produce a record to be proud of. 

Finally, on July 31st of 2014, they released their first single titled "Young" off of their debut album Troublemade. I Heart Moosiq blog described the tune as " a massively charming and endearing alt pop ballad, full of a melting, bittersweet tenderness and always welcome boy girl vocals." With this description, I Heart Moosiq explained that Young evoked a blend made familiar to us by the sounds of Snow Patrol meets Taylor Swift meets Kodaline. Flattered by this comparison, January May was only more eager to share and spread their music. Shortly after their single release, they played one last Missouri show and said their farewells. A move to Austin, Texas lead the band to a hopeful new territory rumored to be the live music capitol of the nation. The only way to confirm this was to throw themselves into the scene and witness the life of the city for themselves.

Their first show transpired at live lounge Strange Brew, with a stage-owning performance following at Austin's Trail of Lights. Since then the band has had the pleasure of opening for friends Remedy Drive and being recognized as JanSport's SXSW BOTB runner up. As 2015 began, January May was given the opportunity to audition for Orlando's Full Sail University partnership and after anticipating the results, found out they had been selected. It is with much elation that January May accepted this partnership and looks forward to the projects that await them. 

As of February, January May is beginning to confirm the suspicion that 2015 will be their year. After being selected as one of 40 in 4000 applicants for Belk's Southern Musician Showcase, the band traveled to North Carolina to compete in the finale, with the results revealing January May was among the 7 winners. It is with this win that the band receives the opportunity to play festivals and events throughout the nation. Overwhelmed by the support of their fans and the connecting power of music, January May anticipates more reveries to turn into reality.
