VERSE What did it mean? When you said to me that you’re feeling hollow Oh, I promise that I’m listening, yeah I’m listening Let’s run away, We can find ourselves in a place far from here We’ll leave it all in the rear view CHORUS I know That I don’t say the things that I should But I will And I know that I don’t say all the things that I should But I’ll learn it all for you VERSE 2 What did it mean? When you said to me that you’re feeling lonely Oh I promise that I’m listening, yeah I’m listening So let’s run away We can find ourselves in a place far from here We’ll leave it all in the rear view

My Devotion 02:56
VERSE 1 When I see you I hope you go in slow motion Cause this world it makes me break Salt on the rim to finish the potion There’s no promise it’ll cure anything When I grow up I hope I’m still devoted I listen to Black Flag til the day I die CHORUS Time moves slow But life moves fast What’s to say you really want it? VERSE 2 Modern living’s got me in shambles It’ll chew you up and spit you out Twist it tight so it burns even It don’t matter cause you’re still gonna choke When I grow up I hope I’m still devoted Out of Step til the day I die Oh how I love to sit in this moment

VERSE 1 The people in moving cars I think they hate me The people inside this bar I think they hate me The guy who signs my check That dude he hates me Even the lady with the done up hair She fucking hates me CHORUS The look at me and know All I’ve done wrong But couldn’t bat an eye when it’s me against the gun VERSE 2 The people on my TV I think they hate me There’s a guy outside right now It’s looking he hates me Yeah that fucker with orange hair It’s clear he hates me And with the more and more I stare And I’m starting to hate me? CHORUS The look at me and know All I’ve done wrong But couldn’t bat an eye when it’s me against the gun VERSE 3: They take me for a fool x2 They hate me

about

"There’s something deep within the roots of Celebration Summer that I can’t quite put my finger on. Is it Hot Water Music, is it Samiam? I’m not sure, but I’m looking forward to their progression and development."

Doug Carrion - (Field Day, Dag Nasty, Descendents)

Celebration Summer, are from the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC.
They began as a message board posting in late 2019 when bassist Greg Raelson sought out members to bring forth from the ashes a style reminiscent of the late 80’s/early 90’s melodic punk rock he grew up on.

Joined by drummer Glenn Boysko and guitarist Dan Hauser, both formerly of the DC band Confidence Man and notable ska side project The Captivators, the trio recruited newcomer Nate Falger to assume the duties of singer/guitarist.

With a pounding rhythm section punctuated by Boysko’s intricate drumming and Raelson’s melodic bass while incorporating Hauser’s driving guitars and Falger’s poignant lyricism, visceral vocal stylings, and angular guitar structures, Celebration Summer hit the ground running with anthemic, progressive songs capturing the struggles of modern life in Trump-era America.

Celebration Summer, whose name is a mash-up of sorts, pays homage to the iconic Husker Du song Celebrated Summer and Washington DC hardcore’s significant cultural and activist “Revolution Summer” of 1985.
