Cheers to the Future was written by Nick Krstic, James Young, and Jay Gargaro, and recorded in a sailing club close to home in Victoria, looking out over Western Port Bay towards bass strait. Recorded in a single take with no overdubs, about a moment that is simultaneously the end of a great struggle and a rebirth.
In such a hard time it’s nice to hear a band say, in the context of their lives, Cheers to the Future.
lyrics
The clouds arrive and cover over the breathing city floor
Picks out every single hand
One by one by one by one
Im so alive
Theres so much more
And you tell me I won’t live Forever
Cut me I’m clean
Wash me I’ll bleed
Cheers to the future
I got all that I need
One chance to gather all my strength and take me back to my old young self again
The clouds pass by and reveal the city lights
A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life
A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life
A new place a new place a new
Cut me I’m clean
Wash me I’ll bleed
Cheers to the future
I got all that I need
I want to feel sun
I want to feel light
I want to taste everything you put into life
I want to feel safe
I want to feel at home
I want to feel loved when Im on my own
I want to feel sun
I want to feel light
A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life
A new face, a new walk, a new shot at life

Confident, strong album by the new line-up. They’re still finding their sound IMO, once they nail that, they’ll be unstoppable…one of the best albums of 2022 for me. Mt.Vic.Matt

This album feels like the band came into your home and made themselves as such. They drank your beer and half your finest liquor, smeared boogers under your sofa and favorite chair, and left you this exquisite gem to make you happy they were there. Richard Weems
