untitled

don't tell me
i know, i know
what you're going to say
you'll find that
i know, i know
it's something that's gonna come crashing down like the waves
you'll only dispose oh dispose when it's rotting up
and growing up becomes a big chore for you to figure out

if that's the case they said we'll let it go to waste
so be careful of what you wish for

you'll find what you love
let it kill you, let it eat you up
and chasin' pavements, the thought of replacements got you by the tongue
you'll realize that this mess was co-produced by the residue of the late

if that's the case they said we'll let it go to waste
so please be careful of what you wish for

don't tell me
i know, i know
what you're going to say
you'll find 
i know, i know
it's something that's gonna come crashing down anyways

my name lives across the street
makes pancakes with old recipes
recycles jokes like autumn leaves
bikes down the corner of cerulean sea

my name leaves a bad impression on
my new friends love taking pictures of
bona fide; it's real life
i can't realize yet
the extent of my regret
and i'm upset

my name lives across the street
reads papers like she's lived a 
thousand years at best

my names leaves a bad impression on
my new friends love taking pictures of
bona fide; it's real life
i can't realize yet
the extent of my regret

bad impression

don’t need to be so sad over a letter on the card 
you have so much to look forward to 
you know, you are a diamond in the rough 
you hate it when i disrupt your stubborn flow
if this isn’t what you know you’ll panic

don’t need to be so mad over the boy who doesn’t notice that you care too much to let him know how this killing you killing you slowly

this is the part where you turn around to see those around you, those who really love you

don’t you dare stick your head inside your heart it’s colder than you know of,
don’t you dare say i left you out here in the dark to mock your own

ruff

walking down grocery aisles
with a shopping cart
evading colorful tiles is not my favorite part
it is your hand in mine
and all our wasted time
and how you wasted mine

i will never get tired of fixing our fights
oh but you might

Heatwave

It's not the end of the world
the wheels have taken its turn to the brighter side
when you chimed in the 99 thoughts don't matter coz' it's what we got that's real

The rain it could be pourin' but I'm still with you
The sand can hide away in my shoes
We can sing whenever and fly away

It's not the end of the world
It's just the tables that have turned
eggs are sunny side when you chimed in
and said "the 99 don't even matter coz' it's what we got that's real"
(Oh it's what we got that's real)

They can say whatever they want it's their truth
Play, no promises
just don't leave me to it
No don't go away, don't fly away

I close my eyes and I drift into another life
one where I’m only the sparrow in the window

my wings flutter fast and I see myself inside the glass
pacing and pondering how we fell from happy

my love she turns a shoulder
scrolls the web with her eyes glazed over

and I have seen it all
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all

I fall to the ground, feel this darkness pull me down,
and crash in a harrowing plume of smoke and feathers

she wanders over to piece me back together

Big Whoop

Sparrow

pop it do it flip it I wanna see it
however many tries until you get it
send it catch it stick it I wanna see it
however many tries it takes

I feel it go
zip down the road
shinners and razortail
and I couldn’t give a damn about it

flick of the toe
don’t land primo
just have to find the grip 
stomp it. bolts.

the end is near

I feel it go
flick of the toe
just have to find the grip 
stomp it. bolts.

Wallenberg, El Toro, MACBA three
just like I have seen on my TV
ok ok ok ok ok ok 

pop it flip it catch it stick it

I feel it go
zip down the road
shinners and razortail
and I couldn’t give a damn about it

flick of the toe
don’t land primo
just have to find the grip 
stomp it. bolts.

Bolts

sometimes I fade into the dark
and set my heart wild
unravel in your arms so tired

I try to be there all the time
and pull my own weight
but I don’t know why you stay

through the old maze where we used to wander
there’s a cold weight that never could be conquered
when the starlight was never quite enough for you
had to realign everything I thought I knew

some people wait in silence
until they forget what they want
and some people fight with a resolute heart
for each breath on this earth that they’ve got
I try and find the courage
to carry myself to the start
cuz I wanna be the one you think to call
when you’re lost and your tires are shot
but I’m not
no I’m not

sometimes I fade into the dark
and set my heart wild
but I don’t know why you stay

stay

stay

Stay

NEW ALBUM out now + We're on tour!👇
https://linktr.ee/therareoccasions

The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies.

Brian McLaughlin (singer) and Luke Imbusch (drummer) have been making music together since their early teenage years. They formed The Rare Occasions while attending college in Boston where they met Jeremy Cohen (bassist). Since then, the band have toured nationally, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online.

In 2021 the band released their first album as a trio, Big Whoop, which received significant press and radio play. Around the same time, their 2016 track “Notion” went viral on TikTok and continues to make waves, topping Spotify’s viral chart in the US and several other countries, and later landing on Billboard’s alternative charts and top 100 singles charts in the UK, Ireland, and Canada. 

They've recently released their 3rd LP, Through Moonshot Eyes, which had 4 singles leading up to it. They’ve garnered radio play across the states, and even in the UK for the new album and are currently on a national headlining tour this fall to support it.
