American indie-rock band American Authors return with a brand new single titled “Pride”. The folk-influences song is the first single from their upcoming second studio album which is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2016.
About the video, the frontman Zac Barnett said: “”We shot the video for Pride in Denver, Colorado not only because of the amazing landscape but also our incredibly talented videographer friends are based there. Together we wanted to show that life’s journey has ups and downs and different paths that take us where we want to go. We all have to cross bridges and climb mountains and take the road less traveled to become who we are in the world.”
Lyrics:
My home don’t feel the same Last year flew by; goodbye to the good vibes What we thought were the best times Nights out with the people I love Now I’m lost in the neighborhood That raised me, praised me, made me who I am But my father was twice the man And now that pain’s resurfacing
Brooklyn don’t feel the same Maybe I’m the one who’s changed or the one to blame Another drink down the drain Ten more before I get on that plane I swear I knew just what to say It’s all there on the tip of my tongue But I don’t feel good enough for anyone
But I won’t fold I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling
I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride I ain’t never letting go, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride
Pushed out of the family tree Upside down, but it was a good life I fell hard for the wine in France I didn’t call you back cause I was learning to dance And just who I’d become It’s all there on the tip of my tongue Wish I was good enough for anyone
No, I won’t fold I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling
I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride I ain’t never letting go, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride
Take or leave who I am Cause this is me
Like a fish out of water Do I belong here? But I’m never gonna lose, I’m never giving up my pride I’m lost in the ocean Like a note in a bottle But I’m never gonna lose, I’m never giving up my pride
This is me, who I am
I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride I ain’t never letting go, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain’t never giving up, I ain’t never ever, I ain’t never ever giving up my pride
