lyrics

all my heroes are dying
it's a new kind of change
shoulda seen this one coming
coulda dug out the graves, see
my daddy's heroes were all dead
before i came of age

all my heroes are dying
one by one the legends fade
all my heroes are dying
'cause there's no one left to save

now i'm running on empty
keeping company with thieves
fools going through the motions
same old songs that they sing
clowns are running the circus
with no one left to lead

all my heroes are dying
one by one the legends fade
all my heroes are dying
'cause there's no one left to

saving face to fade to grey
some legacy you left to me
i'd trade it back for you alive
those praises sung and brushed aside
gods can fall after all
at least i know now that you're gone
there's no way to say farewell
with so many stories left to tell

all my heroes are dying
one by one the legends fade
all my heroes are dying
'cause there's no one left to save

all my heroes are dying

Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!

The Official Bop of Summer '21 "Up All Night" is so infectious it almost makes you forget the year prior. Ellie Maybe

Mentally Thrilled
by Marja Hansen

Marja's music is the sound of a distant train horn softly bellowing into the still night, if the train were captained by Imogen Heap and warning Sigur Rós to get off the tracks before everyone dies. Ellie Maybe

COVID19 Couch Crew EP
by RIOTBARD Productions

A fun, poppy punk EP with an all-star cast of quarantined rockers from the Madison, WI scene — including yours truly on the emo-riffic "Introverts." Ellie Maybe
