this band and their bony knees

[@TehGalacticDonut]

Don't you forget their sleepy eyes too

[@lexesparza5895]

Rachel Billings HAhahahaha, this made me laugh so much.

Rachel Billings Hey guys, I think there’s something that needs to be explained on our end here. We released a new EP on June 4th titled “Put Yourself Back Together.” There are some references in the songs that mention sleepy eyes and bony knees. There have been some negative comments regarding the amount of times we mention those two things. I want to make this post to explain the detailed meanings of both of those subjects. I assure all of you out there that we would never put something in multiple songs that doesn’t have a great amount of meaning. These songs are my life summed up into some verses and choruses. These songs are my therapy, and that goes for the four other dudes in my band too. So here we go…. Sleepy eyes refers to a time in my life in 2011. I was going through a very messy break up which then lead to a love triangle and that lead me to be depressed. The girl that I was in love with since I was eighteen had found someone else that she grew to love. She told me that she still loved me as well though. This lead to lots of sleepless nights and some weight loss as well. Thirty pounds of weight loss to be exact. Listen to our song “Floorboards” for more details on that whole situation. Well anyway, this situation and some other ones over the past few years have led me to not being able to sleep at night. I had resorted to sleeping pills in 2011 when I was depressed. I also consider myself a night owl in general. I haven’t gone to bed before 2 am in years. But mainly sleepy eyes is something that I think we have all been through in life. It’s about those nights when you’re so overworked and have so much going on that you can’t fall asleep, even if you are physically tired. Not only do I write these songs for my own therapy, but I would hope that some of you could find some peace in them. So of course I’m going to reference this subject multiple times. And that is sleepy eyes. Bony knees is a subject that pops up in a lot of our songs as well. I will keep it general at first here. I in fact do physically have bony knees. But I will surely say that there is a way deeper meaning behind these bony knees. It kind of all dates back to my depression in 2011. Like I stated before there was some weight loss, which made these knees a little more bony than before. I also found myself physically and mentally down on my knees while going through depression. Even after 2011, after I started feeling better, I would still find myself down and out on my bony knees physically and mentally. We all go through dirt in life and lot of times it makes us fall on our knees for awhile. I can easily say that dirt has put me on my knees more than I want to say. But the beautiful part about falling on your knees is getting back up. And that’s the main point of the bony knees reference. You have to get up in life and move on. We have all been there and we will all be there again. When I write bony knees in a song it reminds me of how I put all of the bullshit behind me and moved on. And that is bony knees. I just wanted to clear this all up. I don’t want anyone to ever think that we are using this as some sort of gimmick or something. We keep things real and it will always be that way. I hope you can all now find deeper meaning and connection with sleepy eyes and bony knees. -Kyle

Funkenstein I really didn't mean for my comment to have a negative connotation. I love this band a lot, and while listening to their music over and over, those phrases nearly jumped out at me. I figured that they had ulterior meanings, but I was never sure. thanks for the clarification, keep doin whatcha do :-)

[@kynansmusic9724]

why spent hundreds on counselling for depression when you can be understood and supported for so much left just from Real Friends music

[@Shockers3000]

When times were simple 😪

[@loganlavalleymusic]

I feel like these guys have achieved the impossible ... It's like it's not a band , but they are ...

[@kynansmusic9724]

thankyou real friends you guys have helped me alot lately, people can be fucking cruel when it comes to hurting someone you are suppose to love

[@jle238]

I know the feeling....

[@maya1662]

Me to that's why I listen to them and front porch step

[@superbeast171]

He recently put out a single which is super different considering its a christian song... And there are a lot of people who's actions have been even worse and yet their art still holds merit. Did you know Charles Manson put out Folk albums as late as 2011 and his earliest album "Lie: The Love And Terror Cult" is astonishingly written. At least what Front Porch Step did was consensual and not conspiracy to murder a pregnant woman.

[@kynansmusic9724]

9 months later....still not over her. da fuck? stop thinking about people who fuck you over dammit you're better than that!

[@Eshkanama]

thank you for uploading this!

[@xXxParamore14xXx]

omg why does this make me so sad??

[@Piroman619]

because of the lyrics subconsciously modeling your feelings while listening, fitting to the songs melody.

[@jakeu123]

Can you put song names and times so we know which songs are which? Thanks

[@raffyjames4151]

[@voluntarysimplicity2056]

Neat. Where did these songs come from? Were they ever released proper? Like as an extended play?

[@derekmathison609]

They were the first ep they released before they got big. I have no idea why it never pops up when you search them on KZbin though

sesh

[@SaturnStorm444]

Who's singing the "anchor down your feet" part? I know it's not Dan but I don't recognize the voice quite. Is it Brian?

[@TheIgnoranz]

god, i love the whole acoustic session, but the dude uses autotune in the highs (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), but it doesnt matter, i love it as a singer - fucking awesome!

[@CupcakeGirl8992]

Have you ever seen them live? In my opinion there isn't really any autotune at all. I've met the band multiple times and their such cool dudes and play kick ass live shows and sound about the same they do on records so idk

[@BotBestFriend]

You know which one my dogg is?

[@LNClubsTheaters]

Mayday Parade & Real Friends talk about other bands they love and who’d they take in a fight in this hilarious interview! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5utaYV5YseSrbs

[@makoshark3082]

[@AlongTheWayMusic]

Since you guys like these songs you might like the acoustic EP we put out. It would really mean a lot if you gave it a try! soundcloud.com/atwpoppunk

[@laurenc2426]

[@coderedgaming6059]

It almost sounds autotuned at parts .-.
