American Authors Lyrics

Brooklyn Cordasco

Ikr I hate it when ppl are that obsessed over a book or movie that they think everything relates to those books or movie

Kathryn Buntin

@Amanda Lyons I understand where you're coming from, however, if that's how one person connects to Home (by a character from a series, their own personal journey, or the way you feel about it) then you should let them carry on. Unless they trash your opinion or others, it shouldn't be a problem.
[not sure if you intended to make your post seem negative or if it was a harmless comment, but it did sound like you were having a go]

Amanda Lyons

This song isn't or anyone. It's about a person, not wanting to be some great hero or commit a miracle, just wanting to be home.
It applies to everyone.

I love this band!!!!!

thembones5

They are such an amazing band to see in person, this was amazing!

Omar Arrazy

Im sorry, i doesn't understand are you saying AA are bad?

Eilonwy03

My fav AA song; I can totally see it as some traveler's theme, who longs for home and happiness and embarks on a life-long journey... Especially love the moment at 3:00, multiple voices singing one song, like these friends who all whole-heartedly seek for home. Sounds even like they're in a medieval tavern or something.

Em

Ah, American Authors. You never fail to exceed my expectations

Caitlin Jean Kessler

This is the kind of music that deserves to be played as loud as your speakers can go.

Cara Angelica Fanto

So I just discovered them today, and I felt like I missed a lot of my life. They are incredible! How come not many know them :(

Zenki Diaz

Looking at the song titles they all seem so ordinary. But the lyrics. The lyrics are immensely full of substance, deep, relatable and meaningful. I love them <3

Devin Gallagher

This is a beautiful song!

Night Wolf

This song always gives me chills, throughout the whole song

Sophia Busam

You guys are seriously amazing!!!! I have been waiting for this EP to come out. All of the songs are so unique and great.

Emma Adamová

Love this song!

picklepuncher

You guys are honestly my favorite band now. Your whole album has been on repeat these last two days and lets just say it's been an amazing last two days. Please keep making this fantastic music.

Aaron Levine

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS TO COME OUT IN YEARS!

Grace Katherine

Always enjoy your music, guys, another winner: well done! :)

jae

love this song, live for it

Hillary Wong

My gosh if Percy and Jason make a movie about like the Mark of Athena or the House of hades or a book they are in together this would totally be the perfect song!

Break Seniks

I want to know Jason's story! Rick Riordan should make a book series about Jason, like, 'Jason Grace and The Roman Camp' or, 'Jason Grace and The Throne of Kronos' That would be so cool!

Bryan Camacho

One of the most amazings songs in the history of music!  ♪ :')

Cherise Davidson

Love this song.

HuannaZee

Beryl Alix March Jellicle

Badass, dude!

Dominic Green

yaah theyre one of my main favorite bands. the others r the neighbourhood, bastille, my chemical romance, panic at the disco, foo fighters, blink 182, the offspring and system of a down

Beryl Alix March Jellicle

I'm just tryin ta find a way
To make it back hooooooome~

ShortRed13

This band reminds me a lot of Imagine Dragons, also a great band, but with it's own unique style of techno and at some parts a "Chorus"-like section, such as at 2:59. Great band, and keep the great music coming! :D

Daisy

You guys are amazing!

Galilea Sanchez

Recuerdo que cuando tenia mi primer celular hace como 6 años lo llene de todas estas canciones <3 aaah que nostalgia

Ashley McCready

This band is one of the best!! :)

Eric Morana

A new music revolution is starting and I LOVE it! Getting back to simple instrumentation use and actually focusing on the voice. Nothing computer about this and it is MUSIC! I hope this is the start of a very long music career for this band!

utube123421

A band this good needs and deserves much more views and recognition. I hope American Authors gets the fame they deserve.
Some may take this comment out of context, I'm not saying this band is super-duper amazing, but they are good, and should get more recognition than 66,911 subscribers.

Bridget M.

I saw American Authors at an outdoor concert that was my first concert ever. I wish I'd appreciated this song then! I'm sure they performed it.

Thomas Nicholls

One word describes this song and this band: AMAZING

Lia Salazar

You should be more recognized😭 your music is awesome!😭💕🙊

Aneesa Chohan

I bet this band will blow up and be internet famous in no time at all. I love you american author!

One of the best songs ever written. There's contradiction in it that logic fails to explain.

luis 202

Santiago Andreon

jalivia myer

Fricken awesome band!!!!!:-)

SHAYDee' SANE

1st time hearing 'em. It kept my attention (I have ADD!) and the lyrics were very personal, expressing his intent of the pourpose of the song, which is theraputic for him. That's what I think... I wan to hear more, cuz he is venting in his music...

Sakis Ilus

Speechless!!!SUPER rocksong!!!Congratulations rock Authors!!! ;-)

alexandra padilla

Saumya Bhatia

this song doesnt remind me of percy or ace or alice or hobbit. it simply reminds me about how awesome AA is.

Stephanie Stevens

You guys are becoming my obsession now. I just like bands bands make me happy bands are cool

Phoenix Borealis

This is my favorite song from the album. It makes me think of a horse running in slo mo through various landscapes. It's interesting what the ADD brain can do with music.

♕Candi

@Phoenix Borealis ;D

Phoenix Borealis

@Candi ;)

♕Candi

hayden

I heard this song at the script/onerepub concert tonight when American Authors was opening for The Script/One Republic. Awesome band!

Nawreen Juthi

damn just discovered them. Super glad I did!!

Tempted L9

I remember listening to this in 5th grade I'm 18 now

Darkness

I've been gone for so long 
But my heart it carries on 
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home 

I've been gone for so long 
But my heart it carries on 
I won't give up

Emily Hopkins

this has a whole new meaning while we are sitting in the middle east...Thank you for putting a concert here for us

FullofLorna

Unfortunately I'll admit I hardly ever buy songs off iTunes however I brought my first song a couple of weeks ago. It was a song by American authors. I'll now be buying my first EP, and it will be by American authors ;) Love you guys and hopefully you'll soon become very successful and popular because you. Are. amazing!!!!

Sheldon Cooper

I came across this song because I'm currently stalking American Authors YouTube channel because they're awesome. End of.

La Jacob

I love how on AA's comment section you only see nice, positive comments

Ryan Pulliam

@stranger on the interwebs you're way too late for a rebuttal bud jus sayin

Ryan Pulliam

@stranger on the interwebs again. Why does a comment from 5 years ago all of a sudden concern you

stranger on the interwebs

@Ryan Pulliam because you’re assuming that someone’s comment which points out that the comments are positive was with negative intent

Ryan Pulliam

@stranger on the interwebs why does a post from 5 years ago suddenly concern you now is the question

stranger on the interwebs

@Ryan Pulliam why are you assuming it’s with negative intent?

shael bridgelal

american authors is one of the most under rated bands ever

Lucy Tobojko

i love that voice !

Ashe D.

This is perfect.

Dominic Villana Nevada

beautiful<3

Will Barren

Nice song

saguna siddheshwari

Bands like this reinforce my trust in today's music. Humanity might just survive yet.

Andrew

No guys this is Ed and Al's song (Fullmetal Alchemist), all the stuff they said they weren't trying to do could be considered the other main characters' motives, like how General Mustang was trying to take the throne. Just imagine this song playing as the last ending credits for the show, it's perfect.

Madi

Omg I was thinking the same thing

Jeff

Damn good song

Samantha S

I love this song. Virias tumblr brought me here but now I am OBSESSED with this band!!

Lerman Katisen

They totally sang my heart , who wrote this lyrics ..I gonna kiss him

sadie

I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
And the long hard road to get me back home

Who else thought of Jason Grace? (another pjo thing)

Hanna Booklover

I could listen to this while reading Percy Jackson

Daniela Clark

you mean Peter Johnson?

Savannah Israel

I mean...he has the Roman tats...the allusions to water, the want to go home (New York and Annabeth), the want to go to his mom, the long time from home, earth shaking allusions....it is perfect you are a genius

Sara Gadalla

LMFAOAOAOAOA

Bridget M.

I don't know if this song is in the movie or not, but I just realized that is the exact vibe I get from this song.

Shirisha Naladdhighal

Hanna Booklover wwwwßs

18 78

and also every single line sort of leads to percy jackson: 
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home

I've got this image engraved in my mind 
Of a light that I had in a whole different time
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road

I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home
I've been gone for so long 
But my heart it carries on 
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home 

I've been gone for so long 
But my heart it carries on 
I won't give up
im just trying to get home....  


i mean like really.... 

nekozoeyichi

I seriously think I might make a pjo/hoo tribute using this song now it fits so perfectly

Mandi Smith

I have to say, I never go out of my way to get a band's whole album. Thanks for the first. ;p

Dawnie

listening to my old songs... this one really reminds me of intermediate haha man, I wanted to go home almost everyday..
