Elephant
from Another Year by Boardroom Heroes
-
Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumAnother Year, the second full length from Boardroom Heroes, was originally released on June 5, 2012. We’re extremely excited to bring this to vinyl for the first time (10 years later).
For me, this album holds up incredibly well - maybe because even in 2012, Another Year still felt like a throw-back to a different era. When I listen to “Pieces” or “Elephant” - I’m transported back to the places I got to see the band play like the Trash Bar or the Velvet Lounge… but also back to my neighbor’s driveway skatepark in the late-90s.
I remember feeling an immediate kinship with Gu and Dre (and subsequently, Stephen, Drew and Nick) - just based on their music alone - because it’s so clear that they also grew up on a steady diet of the Epitaph and Fat Wreck catalogs. Another Year sees those influences adequately honored but also sees their own sound sharpened.

lyrics
Don’t chase your better dreams away
I know there’s nothing I could say to make you change your mind
It’s not like you’d listen anyway
You’ve had your good times but you’ve taken mine
Tomorrow’s better when it’s in the past
It happens so fast that you’ve got nothing to show for it, you never really thought much
about it
I remember bottles, I remember glass
And exactly where we were when our intentions got lit
Don’t leave me alone here tonight
I’m scared to death that I might finally get it right
I remember everything, what was done and what it meant to me
Just like an elephant
And in my head these thoughts are still intact, what was said I take all of it back
Just like an elephant
I’m leaving this all behind now
It took forgetting to remember how
I know there’s nothing I could say to make you change your mind
It’s not like you’d listen anyway
You’ve had your good times but you’ve taken mine
Tomorrow’s better when it’s in the past
It happens so fast that you’ve got nothing to show for it, you never really thought much
about it
I remember bottles, I remember glass
And exactly where we were when our intentions got lit
Don’t leave me alone here tonight
I’m scared to death that I might finally get it right
I remember everything, what was done and what it meant to me
Just like an elephant
And in my head these thoughts are still intact, what was said I take all of it back
Just like an elephant
I’m leaving this all behind now
It took forgetting to remember how
