About You is the musical moniker for Max Poscente. The song “Mona” (Mother Nature abbreviated) is the lead single on About You’s upcoming sophomore album and is a personification of the climate crisis. The music draws you in with provocative and alluring language to ultimately reveal it's true meaning -- how we are destroying our planet for material gain. The aim of the song is to both bring an awareness to the climate crisis and inspire action towards sustainable futures.

Lyrics //

Mona don't you love me?
Mona do you feel lucky?
Cause I feel lucky as a mother,
From one star lover to another.
Mona is it too late?
I hit the gas you hit the brakes.
Well sometimes, I'm like you,
And Sometimes I'm like me.
Yeah sometimes, I'm like you,
And Sometimes I'm like.

I wanna sit inside your shade,
And make me misbehave.
Won't you say, won't you say my name?
I wanna hear your wind moan,
And to know you as my home.
Won't you say Mona?

Mona don't you worry,
I'll take you to the symphony.
As long as you remember,
Our soliloquy —
That sometimes, I'm like you,
And Sometimes I'm like me.
Yeah sometimes, I'm like you,
And Sometimes I'm like.

I wanna sit inside your shade,
And make me misbehave.
Won't you say, won't you say my name?
I wanna hear your wind moan,
And to know you as my home.
Won't you say Mona?

I could always sleep when I'm dead,
I could always laugh instead.
But the second I start to fall,
I'll catch myself in front of you all.

I wanna sit inside your shade,
Won't you say Mona?
Hear your wind moan,
And to know you as my home.
Won't you say Mona?
Sit inside your shade,
And make me misbehave.
Won't you say Mona?

LYRICS // 
Today I’ll keep my doors unlocked, 
As she sails to Paddocks.
For our simple love affair,
More than just a kiss,
Like this.

I want to splinter and open my doors up wide.
Wander on in and we’ll bury your sins inside.

Oh Jessi, a love like ours will find a way.
(Will find a way, will find a way)
Oh Jessi, I don’t want to hesitate.

Sunbeams came through window pane’s,
Filling up the home we made.
Jess, (Jess) yes she craved,
A gentle nail on shoulder blades,
And a bed unmade.

Oh Jessi, I don’t want to hesitate.
Oh Jessi, a love like ours will find a way.
Oh Jessi, I don't wanna wait.

Yeah we danced, and we walked, 
we laughed, we talked 
In this holy hall.
Finally, I have what I need.

Oh Jessi, I don’t want to hesitate.
(Don't hesitate, don't hesitate)
Oh Jessi, a love like ours will find a way.
(Will find a way, will find a way)
Oh Jessi, I don’t want to hesitate.
(Don't hesitate, don't hesitate)
Oh Jessi, I don’t wanna...

I don't want to hesitate.
I don't want to hesitate.
I don't want to hesitate.
I don't want to hesitate.

Jessi

LYRICS //

Benji, I hope this finds you well
Wherever you are.
I need to know,
How cold was that last breath into totality?
Was it sweet?
Was it easy?
Oh, Benji...

Can I come to understand
All the questions ringing in my head?
Like who am I?
And what would love do instead,
When identity’s in demand?
Like a rare bird, we are beyond words.

Years have flown since we last spoke,
Making memories.
But I still sing
And never let the weeds grow higher than the poppies.
Or they’re fruitful seeds you planted in me.
Oh, Benji...

Can I come to understand
All the questions ringing in my head?
Like who am I?
And what would love do instead,
When identity’s in demand?
Like a rare bird, we are beyond words.

I am infinity.
I am the truth.
I am the voice that whispers inside you.
I am love, all there is.
Not nothing, but nothingness.
From infinity, from the truth,
From the voice that’s screaming inside you.

I am Nameless.

Benji

LYRICS //

Lord, give me the will to go on - looking for grace that I can’t find.
Give up some strength, or give out a sign.
Fill in the blanks and shine a light,
on the pressures I poorly hide.

God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.
I’m thinking of things that I can’t seem to live without.

Love grant me the space, to give up the fight.
Building my cross and drinking my wine.
I’ve been to the moon and seen the other side.
Grab my hand and we’ll take the dive.

God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.
I’m thinking of things that I can’t seem to live without.
God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.
I’m thinking of things that I can’t seem to live without.

Out of touch, it’s easy to forget.
Assuming the worst, stuck inside of my head.
Floating a mile behind my eyes, looking at life
- a life I don’t recognize.

God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.
I’m thinking of things that I can’t seem to live without.
God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.
I’m thinking of things that I can’t seem to live without.
God Don’t Let Me Lose My Mind.

God Don't Let Me Lose My Mind

LYRICS //

I met you on the corner,
Sharing meals, avoiding trauma.
While he’s, penthouse in the tower,
Faking friends by the hour.

You are the home that I know,
No matter where we don’t sleep.

Say that you won’t leave.
Please don’t let go.
Suffocate now breathe
— Farewell to Ghosts.

Another night, another morning
Of guarding forsaken fortunes.
If it’s harsh it isn’t lonely.
We ride in foreboding hallways.
Tending to the tides of my life,
And the waves that unwind my truth.
Holding fast to the glimmers of past,
With a family that lasts like you.

Say that you won’t leave.
Please don’t let go.
Suffocate now breathe
— Farewell to Ghosts.

Facedown in a flowerbed.
Keep your chin up till I see you next.
No phone gonna have catch me then.
On the run when I’ve had enough.
Never seems like I can get enough.
Come around and we’ll fill each others cup.

Say that you won’t leave.
— Farewell to Ghosts.

Farewell to Ghosts (live acoustic)

What if I could,
What if I could,
What if I ...
What if I could change one thing?
One thing, would you have it?
Would you have it all?
We could have it all.

We cut our teeth,
states in-between.
No bags and no sleep.
I'll take the middle and you take the window seat.
How long would you have it be?
How long is forever?

You are always,
you are whats sure.
You're an open window to closing doors.
You keep me still,
You keep me sure.
Your silhouette, a lighthouse,
inside a storm.

Break down facades,
and stretch my heart.
My tempers hot.
Yeah you keep me from leaving,
or high on the ceiling.

Change comes so fast,
Change brings another past.
Change heals,
Change laughs,
and breaks the cast.
Change screams as we dance...

You are always,
you are whats sure.
You are the sickness
and you are the cure.
You are the waves,
you are the shore.
You are the lighthouse,
and you are the storm.

I know that we want it all,
-- like paintings that hang in museums.
and mirrors Versailles down the hall.
But honey you're all that I'm seein'.

I know that we want it all, all, all.
--- You are always,
--- You are what's sure.
I know that we want it all, all, all.
-- You are the sickness
-- & you are the cure.

What if I could,
What if I could,
What if I could,
What if I could.

What If I Could

Sunny gleamed a bright hello.
Greeting me in my shadow, alone.
Sunny spared my shadow grief,
but never spared my justice for peace.

Blooming flower in late spring
won't you sing?

Would the sun come back,
if you let it go?
& would the sun come back?
Spring will come I know.

I cried, "I don't want to die"
with hands over my teary eyes.
And then a pull ... on my shoulder.
Sunny said come to sorrow
and breathe in deep,
into tomorrow.

Blooming flower in late spring.
We can break your silence
to whisper a scream
in golden dreams.

Would the sun come back,
if you let it go?
-- if you let, if you let, if you let it go.
& would the sun come back?
Spring will come I know.
-- Spring will come, spring will come I know.
I'll share with you this
the sun is in your soul.
-- Sun is in your, sun is in your, sun is in your soul.
And when the sun comes back,
-- and when the sun comes back.
why don't you give it to someone else?
-- someone else, someone else, someone else.
And when the sun comes back,
-- And when the sun comes back.
first you give it to yourself.
-- first you give it, first you give it, first you give it to yourself.
