Nothing Seems Real är The Grand Stations första fullängdsalbum, släppt 2011, och markerar en viktig milstolpe i bandets tidiga historia. Albumet spelades in under en intensiv period 2009–2010, då bandet fortfarande sökte sin identitet men samtidigt hittade det unika sound som skulle komma att prägla dem framåt.

Musikaliskt rör sig skivan mellan alternativa rockrötter och 70-talets jamrock, med inslag av 90-talets grunge och en rå livekänsla som fångar energin från bandets spelningar. Gitarrerna är drivande men aldrig överproducerade, sången bär på en blandning av melankoli och kraft, och låtarna växlar mellan episka crescendon och mer lågmälda partier.

Tematiskt speglar Nothing Seems Real känslan av att befinna sig i en värld som inte riktigt går att greppa – drömsk, ibland mörk, men med en envis vilja att fortsätta framåt. Albumet innehåller flera av de låtar som fortfarande ses som klassiker i The Grand Stations repertoar.

Det var också den sista skivan för den första sättningen av bandet innan flera medlemsbyten skedde, vilket gör Nothing Seems Real till ett slags avslut på en era – men också starten på allt som skulle komma.

I Must Go

Jerry

Written by our very own Zach Mottler (bassist)
Lyrics: 

LBJ got himself in a mess
He's loooking to put our nation to the test 
Herbacidal gasses and Napalm
Capitalism strikes vietnam 
When uncle sam blantly points at you 
for resons no one knew
In a nuclear age what could you do ? 

The draft will make use of every mothers son 
and there was no way out till the job was done
be it, a faggot with flat swollen feet
A junkie or a scholarship athelete 
You'll conform without your liberal songs
They'll cut your hair you grew so long
Forced to fight the commie Vietkong 

Surely Kennedy had died in vain 
when they colored the streets with his brains
No lessons learned in the decades passed
Maybe with another atomic blast...

Across new borders you will be sent
deep into an inferno decent 
forsaken by folks at home 
In complete chaos you'll stand alone 
You lived a life of innocent fun
Then at eighteen they gave you the gun
to fight and die under the Laotian sun.




Recorded Live at Rad Pro Studios in Ontario, CA

Laotian Sun

Nunu

There's a chance I might not wake up tomorrow.
Every time I close my eyes.
From time to time, it'll never leave my head.
What should I say?

I don't know.
to approach?
My situation.

There's a chance I might not wake up tomorrow.
Every time I close my eyes.
I don't know

Time To Time

The Dead (single version)

(demo)

Verse: 
She grabs a cure and she puts it in her vain 
Don't you know she'll go insane 
We try to warn her, but she can't stop 
He lives his life just like a King, 
But he'll mess up everything 
We try to warn him, but he can't stop 

Chorus: 
Oh when he closes his eyes 
He can see her there 
He wakes up blind she's gone in thin air 
They're killing themselves cause they think they're tough 
Sheik Sheba, Sheik Sheba 

Sheik Sheba x 4 

Verse: 
He strolls the city with all of his charms 
You got screwed over there was no spark 
We tried to warn you, but you said it's hard 
She draws you over with her sex appeal 
One month later the loves not real 
We tried to warn you, but you said it's hard 

Chorus: 
When she closes her eyes 
She can see him her there 
She wakes up blind she's gone in thin air 
They're killing themselves cause they think they're tough 
Sheik Sheba, Sheik Sheba 

Sheik Sheba x 4
