The Family Crest - 'Howl'

State your name
State your case
'Cause the lines were drawn
Do you love me babe?

Now you say,
Lover stay
Warm these bones my dear
Light my heart afire!

I know you never mean to say
All of the awful things you say
But oh God, the reason is yours
Oh God, the reason was yours
You smile

I howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
Howl to the moon, to the stars
When the weight of the world
Is just too much for you

Now I wait
As love and fate
Echo from your lungs
Do you want me babe?

Here you state
That a storm is waiting dear
Turn the lights down low
‘Cause one of us is surely gone

I know you never meant to stay
I know love we weren't meant to be
I know you never meant to go break my heart of gold
But oh God, the reason is yours
Oh God, the reasons are yours tonight
We're smiling

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
‘Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
When it's just too much for you

I'm gonna kiss, gonna kiss, gonna kiss your lips
I'm gonna make sure dear that my love sticks
I'm gonna shake, gonna shake, gonna shake your legs
I'm gonna make make make make make you beg

I'm gonna make sure that your heart is true
I'm gonna say here, "Darling, I love you!"
I'm gonna make sure that you love me too
Do you love me dear? Do you love me here?

I'm gonna break break break break you dear
I'm gonna shake shake up all your fears
I'm gonna take take you down my dear
Do you love me dear? Do you love me dear?

I'm gonna make make you love me dear
I'm gonna break break you down my dear
Tonight I'll smile

You’ll howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
'Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you

The brainchild of frontman Liam McCormick, The Family Crest began as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder/bassist John Seeterlin. “We always liked making music with people—getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a seven-piece core band emerged, though the Crest boasts over 400 “Extended Family” members.

Lyrics

State your name, state your case
'Cause the lines were drawn
Do you, do you, do you love me, babe?
Now you say, "Lover, stay
Warm these bones, my dear
Light my heart afire"
I know you never mean to say
All of the awful things you say
But, oh, God, the reason is yours
Oh, God, the reason is yours
You smile
I howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
Howl to the moon, to the stars
When the weight of the world
Is just too much for you
Now I wait as love and fate
Echo from your lungs
Do you, do you, do you want me, babe?
Here you state that a storm is waiting, dear
Turn the lights down low
'Cause one of us is surely gone
I know you never meant to stay
I know, love, we weren't meant to be
I know you never meant to go break my heart of gold
But, oh, God, the reason is yours
Oh, god, the reason are yours
Tonight we're smiling
Forever lost together, forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you
Forever lost together, forever howling at the moon
When it's just too much for you
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para, pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para, pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para, pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para, pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para
Oh, I'm gonna kiss, gonna kiss, gonna kiss your lips
I'm gonna make sure, dear, that my love sticks
I'm gonna shake, gonna shake, gonna shake your legs
I'm gonna make, make, make, make, make you beg
I'm gonna make sure that your heart is true
I'm gonna say here, "Darling, I love you"
I'm gonna make sure that you love me too
Do you love me, dear? Do you love me here?
I'm gonna break, break, break, break you, dear
I'm gonna shake, shake up all your fears
I'm gonna take, take you down, my dear
Do you love me, dear? Do you love me, dear?
I'm gonna make, make you love me, dear
I'm gonna break, break you down, my dear
Tonight, I'll smile
You'll howl to the moon, to the stars, to the way that we were
'Cause it's just too much for you
Forever lost together, forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you
Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para, pa-pa-pa-para-pa-para (ooh)
'Cause it's just too much for you
Forever lost together, forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you

everyone's saying hollyfawn, but OGs will remember the Anthro Ashfur MAP

(/j not gatekeeping, before the keyboard ninjas arrive)

[phantomcat]

Damn, when Barry B. Benson asks if I like jazz I can now give him an answer

[casualtrainwreck]

This scratches my skull so good
beautiful
chefs kiss
mwa mwa
It makes it so much easier and harder to do work tho bc I just wanna move to the music lol

[kymanbedford-brown]

Excellent song, love the band, it rocks, thanks Guys 😎

[ruffruffrebel]

I remember listening to it the day it came out... time flies.

[paxet.]

the little clicks in the background are everything

[leonardofervant]

I need a lot more song with this very kind of taste, some Savage jazz to blow my mind (especially with that fast part)

[Autnymus]

roughly 6 years later, suddenly now I realize the kind of ... heat and intensity of love far more viscerally in my body. It's... frustrating when you love someone and hope that it would work out.

[Punkacid]

this is the music that got me through middle school, criminally underrated 😭💛
