Suburbia Afterlife

by PERSONA

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Beautiful urban landscapes of sounds, mixed feelings and good mood, quiet introspection, accompanied by the seductive intensity of guitars, pure energy and positive vibe, sophisticated bass lines and explosive or warm drums, smooth acoustic guitar, nostalgia but optimism also are overlapping in their songs and are defining the Persona aesthetics, making their audience explore different degrees of joy through their music.
    For the debut album, "Suburbia Afterlife", Persona polished an exquisite yet original sound, celebratory and serious, melodramatic and classy rock n' roll with pop hooks here and there, sometimes joyful and positive, artful and cocky, that will not allow the audience to remain seated while enjoying it.
    The band’s music is, indeed, one of British influence but cannot be strictly labeled – the musical background and influences of each of the members, refined by the experience and artistic maturity blend together in the Persona genre.

I'm in a momentary Lack of passion I'm playing, solitary, Games on your PC And if you open your eyes Then you must realize That we need Just another direction And if you'd know what I mean Than you'd know how it feels, oh no It's just another thing that she said Sha-la-la-la It's just another thing that she said Driving me insane I'm in a momentary Lack of direction I'm going on a holiday Just to find a good vibration But if you open your eyes Then you'll soon realize My love It's just another diversion If you'd know what I mean Then you'd know how it feels, oh no It's just another thing that she said Do I have to confess I'm doing my best to join you And forget all the rest Do I have to confess I'm doing my best to join you And forget all the rest And if you'd open your eyes Then you'll soon realize That we live In another dimension If you'd know what I mean Then you'd know how it feels, oh lord It's just another thing that she said

All the people on the move Rushing, in the city pulse - you are Always out of time I'm pumping too much oxygen I'm dizzy feeling fine Don't you feel like this is the right time For love Hold on for just a minute You have lost direction Do you wanna cross the limit? We offer no protection I am running out of time I'm pumping too much oxygen I'm dizzy feeling fine Don't you feel like this is the right time And the city makes me feel alive

It's just a big Misunderstanding, here You got me wrong And now it looks So complicated You know, it's not the first time And sure it won't be the last time We're giving it all away Just to have a little fun Why don't we talk about it Or better fight about it Maybe break some stuff Just to feel all right She said she loves me no more She got my head on the door She said she loves me no more, no, no And then she walked out the door She said she loves me no more She got my face to the floor She said she loves me no more, oh, oh And then she walked out the door Oh, little girl, please, Stop pretending, here You got me wrong And now you make it sounds So complicated You know it's not the first time And, sure, it won't be the last time We're giving it all away Just to have a little fun Why don't we talk about it Or better fight about it Mess up this room And then feel all right [chorus] Don't walk away Please stay... Why don't we talk about it Or better fight about it Maybe break some stuff Than feel all right [chorus] This is no love song You know, this is no love song This is not a love song It's just the best thing I can do for you, right now.

Hey! Let the children play I said hey, Let them get away We've been looking for you for so long We've been watching you for too long I said hey, Let the children play Get yourself on the screen Get yourself up from the floor Get up and walk out the door We're in love with your blue-green eyes And we'd like to see you smile We're in love with your blue-green eyes Get yourself on the screen Get yourself on the screen Get up from the floor Walk out the door And from what you felt before Get yourself on the screen Go on and scream And let this world in between Get yourself on the screen

Dependency 03:52
You are the picture I put on my hard-drive That's been so ridiculously displayed You are the one that we chased on the run We’ve had too much time in the sun It shined on rhythm dumb We’ve had too much time in the sun Now I'm the only one That's my problem - when I'm free I miss my dependency It got me for long, long time in trouble I understand the past, I understand the future's The one that never lasts forever And if you'd want to talk, then I would believe This time we're in this together We’ve had too much time in the sun It shined on rhythm dumb We’ve had too much time in the sun Now I'm the only one That's my problem - when I'm free I miss my dependency It got me for long, long time in trouble That's my problem - when I'm free I miss my dependency Give me a little, make it double Make it double for me [chorus] All that we are Is right in front of your eyes All that we want Is right in front of us

Let's take a ride, my friend Let's have a ride Just you and I - and I'll tell you why - Step over the line Let's talk about love and suicide (oh, my!) Put on your funny dress And tell a joke to make me laugh (oh, look at you, you're such a mess) Or, better Put on your magic hat And make a spell to bring her back, just to bring her back I tell you: She lives on Lovestreet and I know Every time I took her home I never said "I love you" She lives on Lovestreet and I know That this time I know I'm all alone But then again... You never ever say never I tell you: She lives on that street Step on the gas Let's get out of here, let's get out of here Tie me up to seat And drive away, 'cause I can't resist You know I can't resist I tell you: She lives on Lovestreet and I know That every time I took her home I never said "I love you" She lives on Lovestreet and I know That this time I'm all alone But then again... You never ever say never No, you never ever say never (you know, never to these things, no)... She lives on Lovestreet So drive on, my friend Drive on, drive on, Drive on and take me to her She lives on Lovestreet...

Kitchen Song 04:09
This is the kitchen song... The place I hang on every morning It’s where I drink my orange juice And I will always speak the truth (wait a minute) What's that sound? What hits the ground? It's water drippin' down From my kitchen sink In rhythm dumb, and I cannot think Straight It's getting late And I cannot think This is the kitchen song, yeah It's just the kitchen song I'm hangin' on a kitchen love This is the kitchen song... The place I hang on every evening It’s where I lay down my sleepy head And I think about you What's that sound? What hits the ground? Words are dripping down On my kitchen's floor They touch the ground And I want more They break apart And I want more, more, more... This is the kitchen song, yeah Where all the girls belong, yeah I'm hangin' on a kitchen love This is the kitchen song, yeah Where all the boys belong, yeah I'm hangin' on a kitchen love So, there I was - sitting in my kitchen, and then I said to myself "what I'm gonna do?... I think I'm gonna dance...dance to the kitchen song"

Here we stand in the sand We're still playing silly games Take my hand and understand This is the end, she said And I can't cry so I try To look in the eyes of the passersby For a trace of hope, for what it's worth For peace of mind and as I walk away I crash, and the pressure's on I smash the telephone - it's the enemy 'Cause I know it can't bring you back to me And I can't find no remedy But I'm hanging on to this love I'm still hangin' on And the telephone doesn't ring and I think You're the one not calling me You're not here, I start to sink Catch me cause I'm falling down Here we stand hand in hand With no feelings, no romance And I'm a stone, I'm a broken bone I see you in everyone I crash, and the pressure's on I smash the telephone - it's the enemy 'Cause I know it can't bring you back to me And I can't find no remedy But I'm hanging on to this love I'm still hangin' on, hangin' on my love This is the end, my precious friend Take my hand, but understand, this is end And I hate the telephone...

Like a high wind over trees All the seabirds overseas Touch the blue sky tenderly Your gentle wing is drifting away And angels forgot to sing A trace of white fume in the sky That is what you leave behind And I follow you, but not that high I'm getting closer all the time And angels forgot to sing Standing on the ashes of time Maybe we need to find Suburbia afterlife Standing on the ashes of time Give me just a little time To find my peace of mind Just a little peace of mind You're the highway in my mind And I'm driving all the time Honey, you belong there in the sky I am still right here, right now Where angels forgot to sing [chorus]
