about

This is our oldest song and the first song we wrote together as a band. Back in the summer after sophomore year in high school, Smitty went away to a camp for type-1 diabetics, where he's been going since his diagnosis at age 8. Smitty was there now working at the camp and after Doug sent him a demo of the song, Smitty got to work on the lyrics and wrote the song based on his experiences and life at Camp Joslin.

From a more general stance,
The songs about family and being there for the people you love through the good times and the bad.

lyrics

Waking up in a land
full of hurricanes
grabbing me by my head
whipping me out of my mind
holding me by my throat
telling me I'm gonna kill you
and take you down under

Well take another look
at the army behind you
'Cause you seem so shook to me
But still your heart sings
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now

Bang, bang, bang, bang bang,
bring the noise make it
ring, ring, ring, ring ring
from the mountains
you'll have to climb
to see the light
and I'll find you at the top
with arms open wide

Well take another gaze
at the road you've walked
and tell me are you phased?
more than a lot

Well take another look
at the army behind you
'Cause you seem so shook to me
But still your heart sings

We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now

See the light break through the crowd
see the tree break through the ground
all the demons in my eyes
are released with every cry
I'll always know when
you're with me
I'll always know when the voices lift me
I'll always be there
for you and,
i'll always be yelling
right here next to you

We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now
We have one yell
we have one yell inside us
our secret spell
nothing can stop us now
