Out Of Luck

Be There

Give It Up

Leave That

Forget It

Stay Free

[Verse 1]
The last couple of years have been hard on me
But I’ve been hard on people too
I’ve suffered setbacks that changed the course
Of the narrative I once knew

The setting and the characters 
Have changed—nothing’s the same
And I’m the only character 
That’s here that I can blame

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old

[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe 
I believe in new stories

[Verse 2]
I can’t see past the mountain tops
Or know where my road goes
And I must take the good with the bad
Cuz that’s the road I chose

Comedy or tragedy 
Both will play their part
And when the disappointment comes
I’ll believe with all my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old
 
[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe, I believe—in new stories

[Pre-Chorus Outro]
New stories
Can be told
New stories
Never grow old
New stories 
I believe in
New stories


New Stories

The two-piece indie-rock outfit Old Mervs, from Kojonup, WA return with their first new single of 2023, 'Sweetheart' and the first glimpse at the band's next era. Taking cues from blissed-out Californian faves Sunroom to the classic indie feels of fellow Aussies DMA's,
'Sweetheart' was born out of a writing trip the band took in Denmark, WA.
With no pressure or deadlines hanging over their heads, the band put their minds to sculpting their next batch of music. 'Sweetheart' emerged from a few different song ideas that would then be stitched together alongside producer Dave Parkin at Black Bird Studios to create the final cut. Lyrically, it takes aim at those friends that constantly flake on plans, while also acknowledging that we all do that sometimes.
Tight, propulsive, and ever so fun, 'Sweetheart' feels like a classic Mervs cut, but powered by a new focus and intention. The first of much more to come, 'Sweetheart' is another home run from one of the country's fastest rising bands.
"This track came from a writing session we did on the south coast of
WA last summer." says vocalist/guitarist David House. "We wanted some more fast-paced singalong styled songs for our live set, so whilst writing we were trying to imagine how it would sit in a live show. It definitely feels like a very classic old Mervs sounding track and that's intentional. Crunchy guitars and big choruses are too much fun to be missing from our catalogue."
