Fell Through

Outside

song about the love of ur life dying and how bad u want to go home (heaven) this didnt happen to me tho

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

prior

there is something strange in the air
don't you feel it?
[ bridge]
Or is it that I'm just so sensitive?


A little while ago, 
I made a wish on a falling star
as they used to do
many years ago
[ bridge
Now the wish has  come through

When we get away from here
we'll be living among
common people again

Go ahead and kiss each other
like you dont't mind enyone
This is a good advice 
What’s lent with heart 
[ bridge
shall not be lost

what do you expect in August night?
Take a look yourself,
before it gets too light

Did you see, what I see?
So made a wish on a falling star
as they used to do
many years ago
Now the wish has  come through
[ bridge
So we together can go.

Those  falling stars are muddling everything
What do you thinks it mean?
What can it be and what for?

One lounly soul is flying up,
while others see  just falling stars...

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

Sweater Song

INTRO

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

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.
