Water From Your Eyes have shared another single from their upcoming album, Everyone’s Crushed. “True Life” follows the album track “Barley,” and its lyrics reference an actual denied request the duo put out to Neil Young. Listen below, and check out the band’s newly announced June tour dates.
“‘True Life’ is our Neil Young–inspired quasi–nu metal stomp,” the band said in a statement. “It is also intended to be our ‘Short Skirt/Long Jacket.’ The bridge was initially meant to contain lyrics from ‘Cinnamon Girl,’ but Neil Young’s lawyers wouldn’t let us use them. Now they are about how Neil Young wouldn’t let us use his words. The rest of the song deals with life and assorted complications of the material world.”
