For you who the fan of music post-hardcore, certainly, you know who Shane Told. Yep, he is the vocalist of the band Silverstein.
Shane has just released a new single titled Let You Down. Not with Silverstein, but he made a side-project that he calls River Oaks.
Song Lyrics : River Oak – Let You Down
I took a breath, I took my time, a sip of gin a lullaby,
A sudden feeling it wasn’t in me anymore.
I looked at you, you looked at me, a knowing smile said “It’s just me”,
I took a drink and walked right in through the door.
I let you down.
It’s the last I’ll ever dream of you tonight.
I’ll be in your bedroom without you by my side.
And I’m here forever with your face on my mind.
A second to think, an hour to die, I’ll slit my throat again with knives.
This spineless feeling will last forever in my mind.
I’m hating you and I’m hating me, I’m hating everything I see,
I’m running backwards if I could get to my feet.
And now, I feel so insecure.
I feel like everybody’s out to get me,
Even you, you’re out to get me, so I freeze.
I feel so insecure,
I know that everybody’s out to get me,
The whole world is out to get me,
I hide it away.
Nothing feels good.
Your record’s on the shelf.
It’s playing in my head, and it reminds me of myself.
I can’t explain.
I know I can to you.
I’ll make sense to you, but it makes no sense to me.
I can’t refrain.
I know I can’t for you, I’ll make love to you but it’ll never be the same.
Lagu tadi terkesan lebih slow, tapi suara khasnya Shane tetap saja enak didengar. Mungkin kalian juga perlu dengerin lagunya bersama Silverstein, Replace You :
Song lyrics: Replace You by Silverstein
I’m the setting sun behind the trees, the saddest one you’ve seen.
I’ve been burning holes and breaking dreams, and I regret it.
I’m fixing things I’ve broken, it’s not as easy as it used to be.
I’m throwing temper tantrums. I used to settle, but now I make a scene.
You can’t believe…
I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay.
I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face.
I can’t replace, I can’t replace you.
You’re the swirling wind above the sea, the maddest storm they’ve seen.
Now you’re breaking waves and smashing dreams, and you can’t help it.
You’re drowning streets and stranding a million people, you’re starting out with me.
You’re crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled and now you’re sound asleep.
And so serene…
I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay.
I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face.
I can’t replace, I can’t replace you.
And when the sun is down and when the skies are calm you’ll see, calm will be.
We’ll wait for the cycle, we’ll repeat our same mistakes. Same mistakes we’ve always made.
I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay.
I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face.
I can’t replace, I can’t replace you.
I said I’d never walk away, but I’m not able to stay.
I said I’d never leave this place, but I can’t stay here.
To watch you fade and watch you change into someone I can’t face.
I can’t replace, I can’t replace you.
I said I’d never walk away…
Almost the same right?
Shane has more than 15 years with Silverstein. And he explains the River Oaks side-project that he was working alone.
I wrote and played all the parts on these songs, vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, and even drums. I poured every ounce of my heart and soul into these songs. This 7-inch EP is just the start. Where the project grows from here will be a forthcoming journey I am extremely excited about.
Wait the “7-inch” EP? just start and we’ll wait!
Here another song by River Oaks – MISTAKES
Song lyrics: Mistakes (akustik):
Promises held your head so high.
Worthless were words from lips that lie.
I can’t change it, I can’t blame you, all these mistakes have cost me years.
Sometimes the branches break the fall.
Sometimes we hit the ground and crawl.
I can’t get up, don’t be patient,
You should move on and leave me here.
But if you’re all that I have would you still walk home with me?
If I promise to stay out of everything that got us here,
I will search deep inside.
I will find the strength to carry you away.
Silent and distant on the ride.
Helpless and broken makes you try.
I can’t change it, I can’t blame you all these mistakes have cost me years.
