about

I strategically released this on the last day of summer because of the song's message. Summer is used as a marketing tool, as if the sun is the solution to your problems. Yet among the hype this "hot girl summer" has, what about those who are depressed and don't see the fun in the sun? Are we just a forgotten species even though "mental health" is supposed to be important now?

Check out this blog post a buddy of mine did after an interview on the song!
Excerpt from World Wide Waves (www.worldwidewaves.co/blog/2019/9/17/king-leon-)

"King’s most recent release is the single “another,” which critiques the fake, overhyped marketing of the summer season. With this song, Leon reminds us that people can be depressed in summertime too."

lyrics

I see the sun has perked its head up now
And burning right through my blinds
I guess usually that brings joy around
Why don't you get that through that damn mind of yours?

Another day in bed, another wasted breathe
But life goes on

Yeah yeah
Cold weather is gone, the summer is here, its time to have fun huh
Our luxurious pools, cool night getaways, don't wait till it's all gone
Kids are running freely with their parents smiling on
But wait, call now and recieve to unease your deep problems yeah

Another check that could be made instead
Instead of living in my life
Not even summer sun awakes the fact
That another day in bed's indeed not best

On and on this rage that haunts my mind
Ain't what's advertised or televised
I should know that summer ain't to blame
But another day passed is what it will be

Tired of being depressed
Anxious like a bitch
Friends don't understand
Family in a pinch
Well we just got the remedy say less pick up and ring
And let's mask all that past that you call misery

King Leon Los Angeles, California

In the advent of music evoking nostalgia to distract from the divided world we live in today, rapper, singer, multi- instrumentalist and bedroom producer, King Leon, has capitalized off of the "lo-fi" movement to make a unique sound of his own. Drawing inspiration from influential sounds of the 1960s and blending it into anthems for the gentrification-affected youth of Los Angeles. ... more
