LYRICS
“Hey there boys
Spread the word around
Make some noise but keep your upside down.
I said hey there boys
Shoulders to the crowd
Here’s our chance to get what we’ve been wanting now.
Take a good look remember there’s nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we’ve learned so well
Tonight we make them stop
No one cares how you struggle after the lights go out
So heads high boys
our night has come
So get set boys
let the curtains rise
Bodies poised
ready to hypnotize
I said hey there boys
steady on we go
Here’s our chance to get what we’ve wanting
So take a good look remember there’s nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we’ve learned so well
tonight me make them stop
No one cares how you struggle after the lights go out
So heads high boys
our night has come
We could spend our whole lives waiting here for a place to make a stand
Or we can try to take the future in our hands
I just need to make, make it last
Walking around like in a trance
And I won’t take that chance
Take one last look remember there’s nowhere down on our own for the top
All the tired excuses we’ve learned so well tonight we make them stop
No one cares how you suffer after the lights go out
Take a deep breath boys
And good luck to ya
Heads high boys
our night has come"

[@sadcena7204]

Gosh, after watching the doc this is giving me a melancholy feel.

[@AdamSternberg]

It's actually a very sad story.

[@chesterfran1]

Perfect for the documentary. Mumford was so close and yet so far away. Tragic, sad, real. Wonderful and haunting cover.

[@jeffersonderrickson5371]

@@shannon9993 like fighting the demons of addiction.

[@syfman6]

Same. Those days were good ones for sure...💚🎸

[@RichardDavis-wk3tx]

this song would go hard in Stranger Things

[@TaylaPankowski]

Just got done watching the documentary and immediately searched for this cover. Incredible! 😭

[@paulbateman858]

Me too.

[@EddieG1888]

Never heard of Halyx until I watched the Defunctland doc last night, but I think the lyrics of this lend themselves much more to this treatment than a rock song. Hope this is wildly successful in its own right.

[@trentm5125]

Hope this gets more attention. The moment I heard it in the doc, I knew I had to find it.

[@MontyTFreek-gr6tf]

Ikr ?

[@twistysunshine]

The melancholy of this version really hits different knowing what happened to the band... Such a good song, thanks for doing this!

[@hugofalcon9260]

Yesterday I became a fan of a band because of a documentary that I accidentally found. Now I am listening to the very song at the end of the credits of that documentary that truly gave me chills. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen, add this song is chillingly Beautiful.

[@Maniac536]

This was a great song to close the documentary

[@theoldpcguy]

They made the right call hiring you to do the cover. It's a haunting rendition that was perfect to close the film. Great job!

[@tyro7413]

Here’s to hoping the Defunctland documentary gets you the recognition you deserve as well.

[@AshleyLOSERx3]

I woke up out of dead sleep on the couch at 4am to this song blaring after Defunctland auto played. I immediately became obsessed

[@Iluvbillkaulitz11210]

You should cover the other Halyx songs!!!

[@bryanquinn7647]

This. And extra points to use the original band members to prerecord their parts or do an all out reunion ft. Lexi Snow

[@hugofalcon9260]

Do a Kickstarter campaign and get the band together and do it all one more time! You can do it.

[@AdamSternberg]

@@hugofalcon9260 I would GLADLY donate to that

[@siren7138]

Still need this on Spotify I would listen to it on repeat until it's on the charts 😭

[@ThereMayBeLions]

Such a haunting cover. I would love to see more Halyx covers, possibly Jailbait? Great job, nonetheless

[@AdamSternberg]

The band had some major talent and like a thousand other times before and after them, record execs ruined their lives. This band was easily as good as any of the major acts of the 80s. A very nice cover!!!!!

[@bradwright491]

This song seems to tell the tragic Lisa Mumford story post Halyx. Fantastic rendition with really great vocals and arrangements.

[@frivoulous11]

The violin is absolutely breathtaking 😍

[@ember6088]

I watched the doc the second it came out on the Defunctland channel and immediately fell in love with this song. Just swingin by again on Thanksgiving because it was stuck in my head for no reason. Love melancholy songs like this and the female vocals are enamoring.

[@GEEKICIDALTENDENCIES]

out of this world Lexi

[@Nerdynomicon]

This is rated as an official non-ironic banger. AMAZING job on this. My wife and I just became obsessed with Halyx.

[@spargerful]

Its been 4 years and I still love this more than almost anything.

[@bearvalentine379]

I wished this was on Spotify, its amazing

[@carriebryant4051]

Amazing vocals Lexi! Reach for the stars!!

[@michellefernandez3155]

This is so well done. Please, do the other songs, and if a kickstarter is needed, count me in. We can make it possible, people! For Lora´s memory we can make it!

[@potatoradio]

Just saw the Doc, even if I never can see the original glad I heard this. Great job.

[@steveunderwood9307]

You have a gorgeous voice! Hearing this song as a full ballad certainly makes the mood shift. I look forward to viewing the other songs on your channel.

[@soulkeephl]

This is so hauntingly beautiful!

[@DeroDaks]

You have such an amazing voice! Keep killing it, girl. You got a new fan 😊

[@Skullkan6]

God just imaging Lora sitting around at the phone to this song... it's so incredibly sad.

[@ThatGuyCanmanNC]

Not sure if you will see this, most people who cover songs kinda near this all sound they same and they sound decent but you are just like 10 times better. Amazing cover of any song. Need more

[@LexiSnow]

My original music is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. Go listen and enjoy my other songs! I think you’ll really like it. 😁👍

[@thedrellum]

I really love your interpretation of this song. The way your more laid back singing (like in your EP) brings the more hardcore Halyx sound into melancholy is pretty amazing.

[@casadega2010]

This song is amazing and deserves more than 276 views. I can't. stop. listening.

[@bigrob966]

This cover is incredible.

[@AzzrudinJamil]

Came here after the documentary. This song is awesome.

[@spargerful]

This is so goddamn good.

[@woolis697]

God I wish I could have been alive to see Halyx

[@18lalalalalala]

Seems only fitting that the story of Lora could lead to great things for Lexi

[@clarec5447]

This is spectacular. So excited that the Halyx doc sent me here!

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

I love this so much. I had to find it immediately after hearing it in the doc

[@WhiskeyTango0420]

Favorite song right now. Helluva cover.

[@samdavissr]

this song is my new jammy jam

[@kylearchbold5189]

Fantastic voice! Great job and hope to hear more from you in the future!

[@paulmcroce]

I can't stop listening to this song. You have an incredible voice and are emoting the hell out of this.

[@oger600]

Is this going to end up on Spotify? Earned a follow from me! Love it.

This version is really good! It's one of the best things I've heard in a while, the vocal delivery and sparse arrangement really lend itself to a song deserving of mainstream recognition! please make more :)

[@matthewriggen4334]

I put on KZbin videos in the background when I sleep. Just start it on something I'm familiar with and then let it autoplay to wherever it wants to be. This is so pretty it woke me up out of a dead sleep at 3AM. Thank you.

[@camstersonofmerrill6687]

Not me softly crying listening to this incredible cover because I know how the story ended for Halyx. Beautiful, great job.

[@MovieVigilante]

Awesome job on the cover song!

[@guyjay]

This is two years late but I wanted to let you know that we know the song writer now! The original demo was written by Brock Walsh, and he later released the song on the album "Dateline:Tokyo" in 1983 under a different title - "After The Lights Go On." Same lyrics, same melody, everything. Even the same voice - it's identical to the demo tape we see in the documentary.

[@publicanimal]

It's too bad she flubbed some of the lyrics.

[@thomasmcshane9795]

This makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew. A bittersweet time between acts in my life. One curtain has fallen, and I can't help gazing back at it as I wait for the next to open, trying to drink it in lest I forget what laid behind it. Absolutely incredible.

[@weilandiv8310]

Wow, so good. I'm in 1981 again

[@oOoJudeoOo]

When I heard this song I cried for lora with her knowing or feeling strongly this song... like ugh she had huge faith in this band success however it just never came like imagine having to wait, and keep on waiting for Disney to finally calling you back to bring you back to stardom, and having to go back waiting tables it's heart breaking Lora should of had more success now we'll never get a contuine with haylx, and I don't think Disney will ever come up with risks like this ever again it's heart breaking really.

[@crazydrummerofdoom]

So glad even though Lauren Mumford passed away her song lives on, the dream of every musician, even though she never got the call back she so desired she vicariously lives on through this beautiful cover.

[@darthgator639]

You have a very lovely voice, it is very soothing! Hope you get better known.

[@sforzandofilms]

Damn. After watching the Defunctland documentary I really wish I could have witnessed this band. This is an amazing and beautiful song too. Shame that there was never an official Halyx album.

[@aubreymagvas1421]

Searched for this song it’s so good someone need to release on Spotify

[@LexiSnow]

Go check out my original music on Spotify! You’ll like it I think.😁 It’s got the same vibes as the Halyx cover! open.spotify.com/artist/7wqdfwQEQy78fCdGyNokgl?si=mLbnWnAfQCaDKI5e_5O0dQ

I hope Lora sees this up above and smiles.

[@radioban]

Such a wonderful cover and a perfect ending to the documentary. Can't get enough of this!

[@PyratWesly]

THIS is beautifully done! I would do unspeakable things for a full rock version like it was performed in the documentary!!!!!!!

[@Twobeards1car]

Gives me goosebumps thank you!

[@hjn123]

About to blow up!

[@deadhawke]

I’ve just been playing this on loop since I heard it in the documentary. It’s so hauntingly beautiful.

[@s.lajoie9961]

This was a marvelous contribution to the documentary. It really brought the emotional reality home, thank you so much for making it and doing such a great job!

[@larrypatterson3957]

I spent my summer watching, and photographing Halyx. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!

[@CoffeeSprocket]

I just have to tell you, this is a GORGEOUS cover. I watched the documentary today and I was blown away by this!

[@DocImpossible]

I just watched the documentary last night. They were really good. She could really sing, the lead vocalist. The guitarist was also awesome. This song seemed really great and ahead of it's time. I would love to see someone now take another stab at it. This cover is also excellent!!

[@DanielRedMoon]

Incredible! Could not have expected such a great version of this song existed. Thanks for making it and being a part of it all.

[@Sklabah]

This song brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. Just posting again to tickle the algorithm. I had it on an ipod playlist, and my kids love it. Wish it was on Spotify, BUT your other songs there are also lovely. 🙂

[@ExhaustedElox]

RIP Lora. I would have loved to see Halyx in person. It is totally my jam.

[@Mathizsias]

Defunctland has made me a fan, I can't help but cry.

[@Sklabah]

Once upon a time, someone wrote this song, and released it unto a world, maybe thinking nothing of it - perhaps unconcerned with it's life, because their own life had it's own concerns. Their name has faded from this song's memory. A small group of earnest artists made the song their own, and for just a small portion of their limited time together. Then the song faded out of consciousness. And now, it has been taken up again, given a new life as an anthem for the dreams it had been attached to. As for me, this song, and this take, has helped to enrich my life. Thanks to all who brought it through time until now. :-)

[@kelseycmkelleher3894]

I watched the documentary and honestly your performance of this song brought me to tears. Such an amazing tribute to the memory of Halyx and Lora. I really want to learn it for myself and I would totally buy the sheet music for this cover version if you ever made it available!

[@brian32151867]

What a lovely heartbreaking performance! Great work! This was the perfect choice to close the Halyx documentary.

[@csbluechip]

Loved the documentary. Immediately searched for this cover. Wow. Just wow.

[@tessablack2874]

I wish this was on Spotify, I love it!

[@blutopaz74]

Lexi .. this version of this song is just the pinning emotion that I’m sure the band felt when things didnt continue. Your voice carries this song into melancholy need of what was once the great summer of 1981..

[@floruhls9418]

Holy Christ..the voice on you! I had goosebumps the entire time. Incredible..absolutely incredible.

[@LIONFORMERXX0345]

please do not EVER delete this or take it down. Not only is it such a fun and niche part of disney history but your vocals are amazing.

[@Laura-fl1rp]

I´m not from USA. I have never been to Disneyland. I wasn´t even born when Halix were famous. Even though, I feel nostalgic... Weird, isn´t it?

[@blackstonejones3200]

I don't want to forget this song Lora or the strange experiment that was halyx. Creativity like that needs to come back especially in Disney. Here's hoping.

[@richarddiaz1241]

It’s deliciously melancholy. I love it so much. Perfect to listen to before performing.

[@boberd5109]

Beautiful cover of the Halyx song Lexi! So sad how it eerily foretold the demise of the group

I saw the documentary a few months back and was move by this piece. You voice is beautiful. This arrangement, without talking, sums up the whole feeling of "A Halyx Story"

[@espacemaxim]

Ok...this is a pretty awesome version. Thanks!!

[@karyngriffin4463]

I feel asleep watching KZbin and this song was playing in my dreams. Instantly woke up. This song is so beautiful
