about

Lucky Ones is the single off of our debut EP releasing on Bandcamp May 12 and streaming on all platforms on Mother's Day, May 14. All proceeds to benefit Common Pantry, feeding Chicago since 1967.

About the song: Lucky Ones is not a rant, it's a call to action. This song obliterates the pity party and gets us back in the game. It’s also a song about gratitude–a pointed reminder to be in the moment and live fully.

lyrics

LUCKY ONES
Get up get down get up down
or get nothin’ from this town
Turn on turn off turn on turn off
turns out your best is never enough oh yeah
And we’re the lucky ones
Yeah we’re the lucky ones

Be in be out be in be out
be whatever they want and don’t shout about it
Jump low jump high jump low jump high get it right—
there’s no way to get around it
And we’re the lucky ones
Yeah we’re the lucky ones

Lay low get real do what you want d-d-d-do what you wanna do
Stand up right now yeah yeah yeah yeah
Get up get down get up down or get nothin’
Get up get down get up down or get nothin’
And we’re the lucky ones
Yeah we’re the lucky ones
