End of line no more singing lullabies to adults Never take the time I don’t want to be alive Fed the mind underlying, underlining trauma Never had the time No more ‘it will be alright’ Feeling like a lion behind bars watching as our lives are going under Handsome boys obsessing with their cars while pretty girls are yearning for the summer Felt my spine As I took the fall from Jacob’s ladder Never had the time Didn’t want to be in a fight Hate my kind Hating all the violence in our karma Yet I lie Acting like a frightened child Feeling like a lion behind bars watching as our lives are going under Handsome boys obsessing with their cars while pretty girls are yearning for the summer I’d rather dream of life on Mars Everything is under no control Everything is under no control Everything is under no control

about

A co-release with Shelflife records.

Youth Valley was created in 2019 and is currently based in Athens, Greece. The band’s style revolves around genres like new wave, post punk and 80’s indie rock like ‘the Cure’ or ‘the Smiths’ dressed in a more contemporary shoegaze guitar-based coat, inspired by bands like ‘DIIV’.
The band’s songs involve internal dialogue, facing traumas, observing the family/ society structure and openly discuss or philosophize matters we have not been “programmed” to question, let alone communicate and comprehend and usually end up passing to the following generation just like they did to us; unless we decide to break the circle. And to do that, we acknowledge that the inner self-parent needs to take care of the child within. If this child learns to feel loved and appreciated, it will do wonders.

about

make-me-happy Greece

“Make Me Happy” is an indie pop group of friends sharing an endless love for our musical roots such as C86, underground pop, electropop and other similar sounds. We shared with you our beloved music and addressed once more the dormant, but always strong, need to reactivate everyone along the lines of “anthropocentric creativity,” or D.I.Y., in the words of our musical forbears. ... more
