“Red 7” delivers the only overt Christian lyrics on Lost Weekend, but picks up the slot as probably the weakest song on the album. Show time, the party scene is filing in looking for a hideaway from all the deadbeat clones.Īnd I know how every single night goes crash out on the balcony tearing up the front lawn.Īnd it’s a bore it’s a rerun I’ve seen before every weekend and they’re scraping from the bottom of the barrel for a new improved original that no one’s heard before. I can’t get past the similarity between Hawk Nelson’s party song “Bring ‘Em Out” and Write This Down’s “I’ll Make You Famous” to really enjoy this track. “See Ya Never” is the road song that every band wants to write, but not usually with this much honesty.īreaking the patterns, killing the routines that I find at home We’re the drifters and the dreamers, forgive us With our twisted up convictions and destructive night walking We’re clinically defective at the worst times God forbid that we bring offense when you read our sins in the album printĪnd honestly, this honesty has been killing me The band seems to be unburdening themselves in their lyrics: Here’s a song by song breakdown of Lost Weekend.On the opening track from Lost Weekend, the band pulls out all the stops on “The Older I Get, The Better I Was” with the song almost verging into the realm of hardcore. Those raw and gritty vocals are carried over into the lyrical content of Lost Weekend. Many of the songs are set in the valleys we experience in our lives, not on the mountaintop successes. While the pop rock influenced songs from their debut album are gone, Write This Down continues to put down a fairly diverse set on the new Lost Weekend album.

Write This Down has recognized their strengths and are pushing them to a whole new level. The first disc was just all over the map and we were still trying to find our identity. To explain the change in sound between their first and second albums, Write This Down’s Johnny Coliier had this to say: Hailing from Minneapolis, Johnny Collier (vocals), Chad Nichols (drums), Nate Rockwell (guitar) and Nick Lombardo (bass) have changed the dynamic output of the band on their upcoming, Jrelease, Lost Weekend.

Write This Down had the daunting task of trying to top the success of their 2010 self-titled debut album. They’ve focused their style, upped their artistic ante, and have evolved their song writing style along the way. Not only did Write This Down find success with their initial studio album, but they’ve been honing their craft on the road with bands like Blindside, Project 86, Disciple, and The Letter Black. Write This Down not only sang these lyrics from “The Older I Get, The Better I Was”, but they seemed to heed their own words on their delivery of Lost Weekend. “We’ve come to shake things up, We’re here to make things interesting”
