Vocal Few - We'll Make It Someday (Lyrics)

© 2012 Matt & Kristie MacDonald. All Rights Reserved.
Once in a while things just happen because they make sense.

Vocal Few is Matt MacDonald (singer/songwriter of The Classic Crime) and his beautiful wife Kristie (singer/pianist/lover of Matt MacDonald).

For years Kristie pled with Matt to record songs with her, but Matt, being lazy and a bad husband, always thought "Ugh, that sounds like a lot of work," and shifted topics whenever the project was brought up.

In March of 2011, Matt and Kristie were surprised by a little line on a pregnancy test. It especially shocked Matt, who eventually realized through a long chain of epiphanies, "Oh crap! How are we going to pay for this?"

Kristie smiled. "The EP, of course."

Matt went off to Australia for a few weeks to think about it (and play shows with his band).

In the land Down Under, Matt was struck with how lazy and carefree everyone was. He felt right at home. On the Gold Coast they have a saying for when people worry. "She'll be right," they say, "No big deal mate, she'll be right." Matt started telling himself this when he got stressed about how his daughter might survive in this world with a dead-beat musician for a father. "She'll be right," he'd think to himself, "She'll be right."

Light bulb.

That's the name of the band! Matt thought. No, that's more of an album title. But it's great because the proceeds will go to buy diapers and pay for baby checkups and all the weird things babies need and she won't starve or die because this EP will ensure, in part, that She'll Be Right!

So the She'll Be Right EP was born, and Matt and Kristie went to work recording as the baby grew.

The project name Vocal Few was settled on for layers upon layers of meanings. Both band members sing the vocals, there are only two in the band, which qualifies as a few. Also, in society the vocal few can change culture, because they're vocal, active participants in the social discourse. In other words, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Matt and Kristie want their songs to squeak, loudly, until everybody in the world is crying out to grease them. Because why not?

Matt and Kristie's baby girl is due November 28th, 2011, please help them buy diapers by purchasing this EP.

Lyrics Below:
In the car crash of my life I've been the driver
Steering blind, in every accident I've caused theres no survivors
I hope my passengers forgive me my mistakes
We haven't made it to our destination yet
We still have debts to pay, but

Remember when we used to believe?

Yeah, We'll make it someday!
Yeah, We'll make it someday!
However desperate and marginalized, we will be childishly hopeful and blind
Yeah, We'll make it someday!

Through all the wreckage and the messes we've been through
I've been your navigator, calmly guiding, sitting next to you
So don't you take all of the credit or the blame
We still have plenty more mistakes to make I wouldn't want it any other way

Remember when we used to believe?

Now this is a powerful song!!! Beautiful. I love how the last lyrics are "we'll make it someday" and suddenly the music comes to an instant halt as if we arrived. Perfect.

Not bad, not bad at all. Matt McDonald has an AMAZING voice, so does his wife. Its not The Classic Crime, but its good enough for my satisfaction.

[Sdot2246]

i love this song so much! its emotional! 

[Onefleshabiding16]

These people are sexy :) and they make pretty music.

[Mandora11en]

That first verse is as perfect as they come. Who give a rat's ass if you like the Classic Crime. This is good.

Now, The Classic Crime is my favorite band for multiple reasons. But this...I totally love this for other reasons too. Since TCC's acoustic EP, I've always wanted to hear more acoustic supporting Matt's voice. Simply amazing. And the harmonies with his wife are beautiful too. It makes me smile...I think that was probably one of their goals. I mean, did anyone hear the laughter in the background at about 3:17? haha. :)

[Onefleshabiding16]

Wow. This style reminds me a lot of Relient K. Love it!!

[cralmzy]

This song was good when it game out on the 18th...Its way better now.

[FITZx33]
