Fuck Runnin' 02:10
I woke up this morning with a burning in my heart. I fell asleep in a truce and woke up in a war. Oh god I feel so sick. Is my world caving in? Are the walls crumbling? I wanna believe it gets better. I wanna believe I’m not the only one. Got hope in every bone. It’s how I keep my breath. I try to keep this feeling, keep it till I’m fucking dead (For now I’m still alive). And I try. Can you hear it in my voice? It’s all I want. Every now and then, my feet on solid ground. Or way out past the waves. Sun shining on my face. I wanna believe it gets better and I’ll try.

You stay hated don’t you? And I want nothing from you. Cuz all this time, you’ve done fucking nothing, except to tear apart anything good. I’m here today to crush all the vile shit you bring when you walk through the fucking door. Right? Of all of my mistakes, the worse was letting you in. I can’t wait. Cuz all this time, you’ve done fucking nothing to bring any happiness into this world. I’m here today to make a promise to cut out the rotten ones from my fucking life. I’ll stay on this righteous road. Let these toxic feelings go. Would you kindly burn out, disappear. Your rotten heart is not my cross to bear. There’s no time for your kind, that’s it, I’m done.

Fletch 02:54
I won’t let go. All these songs kept me alive. I never heard you sing a word that didn’t crush me every time. I never said a thing. I’ll hold it close. It meant everything when I needed it most. On my darkest days, when I’m rotting away. I’m home and I’ll never be alone again. Do you feel the same way? Doesn’t it make you feel so young? When all you needed was a record sleeve and what lies beneath. When I was young and needed someone to pick me up. You’d tell me to just leave it behind. I’m never gonna forget those days. All the parking lots and all the city blocks, I won’t let it go. All the young hearts and the backyards. I won’t let it go.

about

When Sammy met Vinnie…

Sammy was filling in for Vinnie’s band, The Movielife, on a European Tour, perhaps sometime around 2002. It was a super last minute thing; The Movielife’s drummer couldn’t make it, Sammy got the call, and, after one rehearsal, they were off across the pond. There a friendship was formed, a musical bond was made, all was lovely. Musically, however, that was really it for the two of them - until 2018.

As a drummer in bands such as CIV, Rival Schools, Glassjaw, Youth of Today, and others, Sammy Siegler contributed with beats, vibe & spirit, some arrangements, and the occasional riff, song title or lyric. It wasn’t until early 2018 that he really sat down and wrote complete songs. That’s right, he grabbed his miniature Taylor acoustic signed by Shawn Mendez, turned it upside down as a lefty will do on a righty guitar, and banged out some bangers. In his mind it was epic, and he needed to make them come to life. He called on studio wiz Davey Warsop and World Be Free bandmates, Andrew Kline, Joe Garlipp, and Alex Baretto to record the songs, seven in total. Sammy was pleased, stoked, chuffed, but being a new band, it needed vocals, preferably someone who got hardcore references, can carry a melody, and write some crucial lyrics… What about the skinny fellow who loves Soccer, he thought, Vinnie Caruana.

Vinnie Caruana had been very productive himself, releasing music and touring with The Movielife, I Am The Avalanche, Peace’d Out, and solo projects, as well as writing music & lyrics for other artists. Having never really fit lyrics into pre-recorded songs, this was new territory for Vinnie. He was up for the challenge.

That summer of 2018, Sammy and Vinnie drove out to Barbershop Studios, a converted 100-year-old stone church on the edge of scenic Lake Hopatcong. Together, with producer Brett Romnes, the final result is Fuck Runnin’, Mouth In Motion, and Fletch- three rippers on the Constant Elevation debut release.
