Empty Men

from Another Year by Boardroom Heroes

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Another 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 believe me when I say I’ve got enough
Because I don’t know what that means

This one is for country, for god and love of money
They’re the same thing, there’s no wrong it seems, and I’m wondering if what it means
Is that I was never like you and it’s because of what you do
You won’t hesitate, no, to isolate, isn’t this great? Let’s call it fate, yeah

I’m not like them, with their bulletproof hearts
These empty men will tear you and I apart
End over end, and as the world spins so
Do we all end up just like them?

Hollywood contagion, it happens all backstage and
I want to be so much more than me but more than just celebrity
Isn’t this confusing? Is hardship so amusing?
We trivialize, live in disguise, and accept ever greater lies

They’re making us feel pain for their gain, with their bulletproof and leaden hearts
Sometimes I can’t help but feel shame that they’ve gotten everything from the start
But their dreams aren’t made, they’re bought and sold by me and you

Their dreams are unfounded
Don’t say I’ve got enough
