lyrics:

These 11 days of
summer I have called you
you always come when I call you
but I don't hear your feet
We swallowed up the river
but still we never found you
the season came and it drowned you
in sorrow and in heat

Oh, what's happening?
call it the nation's, call it the nation's war
Oh, it's happening
this morning we woke up
this morning we woke up old

I could feel your breathing
your healing heart was beating
but now my head is beating
like the clapper of a bell
the fireworks are funny
the duds fall in the water
fizzling like futures
the hissing sound of hell

Oh, what's happening?
call it the nation's, call it the nation's war
Oh, it's happening
this morning we woke up
this morning we woke up old

From here the days get shorter
tireless, but older
come on, let's get older
and keep our hands held down

[Michael Hennings]

Please play The Slowdown in Omaha, Nebraska! Or you could check out the Waiting Room. Two good venues, and I will invite people to your show and/or help you find bands to play with if you come to Nebraska! Do you guys do your own video editing by the way?

[yOyamusic]

Hey Michael! we're hoping to release a new EP in the winter and do a mammoth nationwide tour in April. I'll definitely check those places out! What bands do you know in the area? send me an email: alex (at) yoyatheband (dot) com. We generally do our own video editing yes, but this video was edited largely by Zach Johnston. We were involved but didn't do the bulk of the work. But the rest of our videos are all in-house, as it were.

[orangesugarcube]

Is yOya signed? I read about them on a music blog. They're from the same area where I live, but I just heard of them.

[yOyamusic]

We are not signed. Where do you live? We've been working a lot lately but not playing a lot of shows. But we will soon, you can check them out at our website yoyatheband (dot) com (slash) shows

[Nightmarilyn Bleu]

You guys need to venture down to SC soon... Would love to see y'all live!! (^_^)

[yOyamusic]

Tommy's Place?

[BigVeg978]

There MUST be something wrong with youtube's view counter because I alone have already watched this video about a bajillion times. Fantastic work, gentlemen + team.

[cadamole]

I shined the light at the smoke to try and shine it away.

[petstar78]

I'm so glad my friend told me to look you guys up. This is beautiful. Pure genius. Hope to see more from you guys :)

[ColinThomasW]

i like this song of yours quite a bit

[Jorn Hulsman]

Amazing music and video guys. Respect for what you guys have created and I hope that you'll be big enough to play over here in the Netherlands one day.

[Daniel Koster]

This song/vid are absolutely beautiful. Its only a matter of time before this becomes huge.

[Ben Sheehan]

This needs 1M more views.

[Laura Kody]

This is the most beautiful music video ever.

[Christian Stephenson]

The first time I heard this song was on Pandora, and when I looked you guys up on Youtube I was so confused when I saw when there weren't very many views. Every couple weeks I check back on this video to see if you guys hit it big. This song is incredible. Keep it up.

[Britain Guliford]

Yo it's me Britain. I emailed u guys telling u guys to come to Pheonix, AZ. I need to know how u play this song. I'm not tagged to that thing yet:( but ya. Y'all need to get down here!! Like now!!!
