It’s you in the night It’s you by my side Who’s making my head turn It’s tempting but we’ve learned All through the years Were building up fears Were calling to hold on Admitting we’ve been wrong But while you’re ghost is haunting me Well bleed just like the killers tonight and it feels so right burning inside But you can’t wait to run back home To run back home Try while you can It’s your upper hand That’s tearing these homes down Retracing to old ground You’re pulling back times We’ve been trying to realize It’s been a disaster The worlds ending faster But while you’re ghost is haunting me Exploding lights off in the valley shine Shine on this town Like a firework in the distance Reminds me of a once known home My souls left behind Leave no man behind
2.
I’ve traveled half the world I climbed through beds of pearls And when the storms would calm and the sun would show Id think of all that I had done To be right next to you So show me your light Give me the town Let me explore the world you found Show me your light And give me the love you feared So show me your light Give me a sound Lets make the most of what’s around Show me your light and give me the love you feared You’ve been away for years You’re having new ideas But when the past shines through and you’ve grown alone You think about what you’ve become Not being close or near But while this times not fixed Id never once forget
3.
Years have washed away Thinking were happy Making believe that Nothing has changed But tides have come to turn We’ve both stopped laughing Faking a scene That’s been well over played What could we have done That would have been enough Please don’t let it show That all this time, all this time Kept me sailing farther from you Please don’t let it show That all this time, all this time Brought us to an end we both knew I did the best that I could do You were drifting off The distance grew deeper I tried to save you By playing your games But time came crashing down And your heart would sink here I couldn’t stand to Take all the blame You say we’ve more than parted But show me where it started It must have been you What happened to you But now we walk this shoreline No longer lovers this time It’s all I could do
4.
I’ve walked these streets of silence Through the cold and misty nights But the more I search the less I tend to notice I’ve been trying to find an answer Why you’ve left me high and dry Even though you’re gone I need a sense of closure Through all the times you left and said it wouldn’t be long Through all the times Id wait for you to never come home I wont back down I wont back down so come right back to me As I gazed out on Manhattan From the peak of Brooklyn bridge I could swear I saw an angel in the skyline And she came stood beside me As the snow began to fall Saying times will change but truth will stay forever I’ve lost your heart To fallen stars That keep me dreaming
5.
I just want to fight for you Im losing track of time the days seem no different Cuz these walls that kept me safe now show no forgiveness Reflections of my sins have comne back to haunt me Causing every waken moment harder to live with And youll see The truth is Ive been falling apart She said the truth is you’ve been running too far But sometimes things don’t change But ill spend my whole life with this blame The truth is I don’t think that I can make things right I just want to fight I just want to fight for you Faces that I knew have turned into strangers Ive nothing left to give when life has no takers The lights are fading fast but I still see clearly Clear enough to see an end with no favors And youll know

about

Recorded by Christian Medice at C*Medice Productions in Brooklyn, NY, this release has already captured the attention of fans and various media outlets: a feature as Clear Channel Radio’s NEW! Artist to Watch, Hot Topic’s Unsigned Band of the Month for December 2010 and most recently, selected to be featured in Alternative Press magazine’s AP&R section for the upcoming March 2011 issue (on sale Feb. 1). The new EP follows the band’s previous release, “Night Hawke,” which earned them tours in support of Cash Cash, Down with Webster, and Let’s Get It.
Anthropology has a noticeably bigger rock sound than their previous album, which lead singer Zac Barnett attributes to the band’s relocation,
“The new EP was very much inspired by our recent move from Boston to Brooklyn. During our first week in the city, a close friend of mine invited me to see one of New York’s up-and-coming bands, Atomic Tom. It was refreshing to see a band portray pop rock music with an upbeat mentality, but still keep the emotion close to the songs. Anthropology really taps into our primary influences which include Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Arcade Fire, U2 and so on. We love big, epic rock bands and we hope to have captured something similar to that while still maintaining The Blue Pages’ pop hooks and subtle electronic influence.”
The Blue Pages have partnered up with the nonprofit organization Education Through Music (www.etmonline.org), which provides quality music instruction to disadvantaged schools throughout New York City. The mission of enhancing students’ academic performance and general development through music is something all members of the band strongly advocate, and as such The Blue Pages will be donating 50% of all album proceeds from Anthropology to Education Through Music.
