At first, Amasic was a ''one-man band’’. Janick would write and play all instruments by himself. He discovered ''YouTube'' at the age of twelve and then started uploading covers of his favorite songs without knowing that a few years later he would have more than 17 million views on the website. This attracted the attention of bands like Simple Plan (Amasic also co-wrote a song with Chuck Comeau & Pierre Bouvier), Boys Like Girls, Sum 41 and more. The problem with being a one-man band was performing live. Janick felt it was time to form a working band.
With months of searching, he got back in touch with his old friend Jessy who had a band named Karma with his drummer, Mehdi. They were looking for a singer. The band already had four years of experience and played a lot of shows. The only missing piece was a bass player. That's when Janick saw Matt, a young bass player from Montreal, circulating on YouTube. Matt’s age and talent blew him away. The band was now complete!
The band first started in a rehearsal space in Laval and as soon as they got together in the same room, a song came out! They were getting along really well. They kept on practicing and writing new songs to finally have enough material to start playing shows and gain stage experience. They've played venues such as ''Le Club Soda'', ''Le National'', “Opera House” and “Corona Theater”. They’ve opened for bands/artists such as Simple Plan & Tyler Ward.
Their songs ''All For Myself'' (+110k on YouTube) and ''Another Night'' (+60k on YouTube) have both played on MusiquePlus and on the radio, NRJ 94.3 and 99.9 The Buzz without the help of a record label/manager.
Amasic is currently working on a new EP with producer Luc Tellier (Simple Plan, The New Cities, Marie-Mai, Blé) will be out March 18, 2014. There are going to be seven new songs on it, including one that was co-written with Simple Plan. They hope to be heard by the good people who will help them get to the next step. Amasic is more than ready to hit the stage!
The Lazy Song
Amasic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna lay on my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh!
Im gonna kick my feet up
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch,
Just chillin' in my snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all!
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh
Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out: 'This is Great' (Oh my God, this is great!)
Yeah
I might mess around, and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
Haha
Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh
Nothing at all
The Lazy Song by Amasic is a catchy tune about being lazy and not wanting to do anything. The lyrics explain the singer's desire to just lay in bed and do nothing all day. He doesn't even want to pick up his phone, but if anyone calls, they can leave a message because he's not doing anything today. The chorus repeats the phrase "today I don't feel like doing anything" several times, emphasizing the singer's laziness.
The second verse discusses the singer's plans for the next day, which include working out and having sex with a nice girl. He also considers getting his college degree, but suggests that his father will have to wait for that. The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "oh, yes I said it" several times before returning to the chorus.
The Lazy Song is a fun and upbeat song that encourages listeners to relax and take it easy. While the lyrics may seem flippant or careless, they can also be interpreted as a critique of society's always-on culture. In a world where people are expected to be productive and available 24/7, the idea of taking a day off and doing nothing can be refreshing and even empowering.
