I SEE STARS - Can We Start Again (Video)

"Can We Start Again" started off as a b-side off our previous album and evolved into much more than that. With help from Sumerian Records and our friends Frankie Palmeri & Mattie Montgomery, it became about a scene that is much like the hallways we walked down as teenagers. We used the iconic lyrics from a song by Bane that changed the scene before bands like us were even around and still holds a place in a lot of hearts. We're all here to connect through music and to be a part of a movement that embraces open minds and open hearts. Unfortunately, some people choose to thrive off negativity, disunion and narcissism. This song goes out to all our peers and friends who live on the road doing it every single year, but more importantly to all the fans who make this all possible. This is not a song off the forthcoming album. It's the closing chapter to [digital_renegade] and the opening track to our digital mixtape release titled "Renegades Forever" that comes out May 28th on iTunes, GooglePlay, AmazonMP3 and everywhere else online.

CAN WE START AGAIN // LYRICS

Can we start again?
Go back to what it meant back then?
Open minds and open hearts
The things that set us apart

Was it more than words?
And do they still apply?
And do you still believe?
Well so do I

I was a 15 year old kid
With nowhere to fit in
When someone told me about a place
Where the strange were accepted
And judged by what's inside
A scene of truly open minds
Somewhere, somehow, everything has changed
Look at what we've gotten ourselves caught up in
Let's take a look at ourselves

Can we start again?
Go back to what it meant back then?
Open minds and open hearts
The things that set us apart

The same mindless clicks
The same high school sh*t
All the walls you scream about breaking down
I've watched you build brick by brick

Can we start again?
Go back to what it meant back then?
Open minds and open hearts
The things that set us apart

Was it more than words?
And do they still apply?
And do you still believe?
Well so do I - so do I

Was it more than words? (Can we start again?)
Do they still apply? (Go back to what it meant back then?)
Do you still believe? (Do you still believe?)
Well so do I - so do I

Bane is a masterpiece thank you i see stars for appreciating your elders!

[TylerOath]

How did I just find out about this! Two lead singers from VERY different belief systems and lives coming together to make an awesome track. I love it!

[SadboySpidey]

Why was this taken off of Spotify. This was gold

[devinoliver]

Hey everybody, hope you're enjoying our cover song! If not, then no need to worry! We're doing an album called "New Demons" that's coming out this summer and it's much heavier than "Digital Renegade". I promise you won't be disappointed! Anyways, thanks for the support and I hope to see you all on tour very soon! Peace!

I listen to everything from grunge, 80's hair metal, punk, techno, hardcore, metalcore, indie, to alternative.These lyrics pretty much apply to EVERY music scene. I constantly see people being judged and excluded, just for wearing the "wrong" band shirt to a concert, regardless of the genre. We're supposed to be a community. Accept that not everyone will like all the same bands as you, and start appreciating what these different perspectives can bring to the scene.

[AbyssalRenegade]

Wow it's been a really long time since I've listened to this genre of music, but I really love the message of this song. Haters keep on hating, I personally loved this song.

[Al_Dende]

Every good band does covers of classic songs guys...you should respect that I see stats, Frankie, Mattie, and the record company put so much time into this to make it to what they thought was perfect because this song had a powerful meaning to them. We should listen to it like it isn't a cover and admire the beautiful music and the beautiful meaning of this song.

[Misdead]

I love these guys! As real as the day I opened for them in 2007 when they were nothing but a local band with a dream on their first tour! Fantastic songs guys!

[NekSva]

"Open minds, and open hearts." 
Something there is apparently very few of in the comments section here.

[TheRonaldo]

It's 2024 and this song still 😮😮😮😮😮

[nerr]

I'm gonna miss this one on spotify

[Allavach]

Wow. If the whole album will sound like this, then you guys did an amazing job!

[michellenufio]

I had no idea there was a lyric video for this song and I love it even more then before

[damiennoftsier]

It explains how alot of teens feel. Being judged by whats on the outside, ratger than being judged by whats on the inside. Im one of those teens.

[jasonallen]

I'm still a fan of the original, but I think everyone is missing the fact that this band is doing a cover because they're a fan of Bane. So why fight? The whole point of this song and this band in general was to promote unity and acceptance. Come on now.

[BrandonDCS]

This scene is not dead at all, you're giving it life for people to talk about bring more attention to it then people start to like it, then it grows.

[menoramy]

Siendo 2022, a alguien le llena de nostalgia está banda? 🤙

[MrScoodles]

Love this video. So simple, yet effective.

[XimenaMelodeath]

This band would helped me so much through high school, goddamn x) I love so much them today though ♥

[josuevarela]

People complain about breakdowns but breakdowns get people pumped up. Without breakdowns people would just stand there.
