Hear a new song from Water from Your Eyes, “True Life”

Water From Your Eyes have shared another new song from their upcoming album Everyone’s Crushed, out May 26 via Matador. Following “Barley,” which we named an Essential Track, the group shares “True Life,” which features lyrics about being denied use of lyrics from a Neil Young song. Hear it below.

“‘True life’ is our Neil Young-inspired quasi-nu metal stomp,” the band said in a statement. “It is also intended to be our ‘Short Skirt / Long Jacket.’ The bridge was initially meant to contain lyrics from ‘Cinnamon Girl,’ but Neil Young’s lawyers wouldn’t let us use them. Now they are about how Neil Young wouldn’t let us use his words. The rest of the song deals with life and assorted complications of the material world.”
