Roar - You Could Have Been Anyone

Copied!

Sell off the licensing rights to your mind
You'll sit through some ads before you can see the light

Life doesn't mean a thing until you've almost none
You could have been anyone

You can find Jesus in every thrift store
And you can catch hell, condemned by the Lord's billboards

Wildfires opalize the skies while they try thinking of ways to monetize
Ways to monetize

Life doesn't mean a thing until you've almost none
You could have been anyone

Biography

edit bio

Roar is the project of Arizona-based musician Owen Evans. After the disbandment of his previous band Asleep In The Sea (for whom “Duck and Ape” was originally written before being reinterpreted as “Duck Or Ape”), Owens decided to take up the mantle of songwriting and producing alone. Eventually, in 2016, Evans became the touring drummer for fellow Arizona-based folk-punk band AJJ. This was the same year that he released his first full-length album as Roar, Impossible Animals.
