American Aquarium - Monsters

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Saw you sleepin' yesterday
Facedown in a shoebox
You were lyin' just the way
You were the day I left you
Dust settles on your face
As time consumes the memories
Now you're nothin' but a name
Another face in the crowd

{Chorus}
And where were you when I needed a friend?
And where were you when I was at the end?
And I take back the words I said
'Cause all I have of you are the monsters under my bed
Monsters under my bed

{Verse 2}
I forgot how you used to smile
Before the walls came tumblin'
Down on what we had
A kingdom reduced to nothin'
I'm surprised that you stayed
Two years of degradation
You were fightin' just to save
A sinner not worth savin'

{Chorus}
And where were you when I needed a friend?
And where were you when I was at the end?
And I take back the words I said
'Cause all I have of you are the monsters under my bed
The monsters under my bed

{Verse 3}
Well I lay my sins to rest
Judgement Day at last
I'll never see tomorrow
If I'm livin' in the past
I'm a better man today
Two years to my favor
And you're nothin' but a name
Another face in the crowd

Biography

American Aquarium is an American alt-country band that was formed in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2006. Drawing influence from bands like Whiskeytown and the Drive-By Truckers, the band was led by singer-songwriter B.J. Barham. The original lineup included pianist Zack Brown, bassist Bill Corbin, guitarist Ryan Johnson, drummer Kevin McClain, and pedal steel player Whit Wright.

Despite an active touring schedule, American Aquarium also spent time in the recording studio, releasing a pair of independent albums before partnering with Last Chance Records for their 2009 release, Dances for the Lonely. The album was produced by Chris Stamey and featured guest vocals from Caitlin Cary of Whiskeytown.

In 2010, American Aquarium released their fourth album, Small Town Hymns, which further solidified their reputation for gritty, Springsteen-esque anthems. The following year, they released their first concert album Live in Raleigh, as well as their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Burn.Flicker.Die, which was produced by Jason Isbell.

In 2015, the band worked with producer Brad Cook on their more alt-rock-inspired album, Wolves. They also released a concert album titled Live at Terminal West, capturing a show in Atlanta. B.J. Barham then released a solo album titled Rockingham in 2016, which was well-received by critics.

In 2017, Barham announced that the original lineup of American Aquarium had dissolved, and he would be recording with a new lineup. Despite the changes, American Aquarium continues to perform and release music, showcasing Barham's powerful songwriting and the band's dynamic sound.
