Family Of The Year is considered to have a "feel good summer" sound. Statements around the web have been made such as "Immediately I was overtaken by the Beatles sounding, toe-tapping, move in my seat beat..." and "Although the band only has six members, it still seemed like there were a lot more bodies contributing to the musical goodness that is Family of the Year. Perhaps itās just their soft harmonies, comforting guitar chords and melodies that just pull us into their world that make us think that. Whatever it is, we just know weāre fans."
Buried
Family of the Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bury me with my records
Where I am going, I'm gonna need something to do
Bury me with my guitar
Bury me with my best t-shirt
Bury me with my Chucks
Where I am going, I'm gonna need something to wear
Nothing ever changes, I'll be
Happier than hell in Hell
Waiting for my friends and family
Yeah all right I said it, I think
You're a bunch of crazies, love you
I'm taking you all down with me
Bury me with my Blue Spirits
Bury me in Echo Park
Where I am going, I'm gonna need somewhere to hang
Bury me with my Blue Spirits
Of course I hope we live forever
Get happy and can grow together
Never ever have to say goodbye
But just in case I made this list and
If you lose it I'll be pissed, but
At least I know you'll give it your best try
We're gonna give it our best try
We're gonna help put everything back inside
Where I am going, I'm gonna need somebody there
Bury me with my mama
Bury me next to my mama
Bury me next to my pops pop!
Where I am going, I'm gonna need someone who cares
Bury me with my guitar
The song "Buried" by Family of the Year is a poignant piece about life after death and one's legacy. The opening statement, "Bury me with my guitar," sets the tone for the entire song - the singer knows that death is inevitable and is preparing themselves for what comes next. The subsequent lines about burying records, t-shirts, Chuck's, and Blue Spirits all act as an extension of how the singer wants to be remembered. They want to take with them what mattered most in life; their music, style, and favorite drink. The final lines of the first verse emphasize the importance of these material items after death, alluding to the idea that the afterlife is long and boring, and having those things will provide comfort.
The second verse has a more introspective and self-reflective tone. The singer acknowledges that life for them, may not change in the afterlife, and they will be happy regardless of where they end up. There is a sense of certainty that death is just an inevitable aspect of life, and that the singer is at peace with it. There is also an acknowledgment that this may be a somewhat crazy idea, but they still love their family and friends so much that they want them to be with them in the afterlife.
The song ends on a more somber tone, with the singer acknowledging that death may come sooner than expected, and they want to ensure their family and friends are aware of their last wishes. The lines, "We're gonna help put everything back inside / Where I am going, I'm gonna need somebody there / Bury me with my mama," blend the idea of the physical and emotional need for companionship and love even in death.
Overall, "Buried" is a beautiful and moving song that focuses on individualism, reflection, and the need for companionship in life and death.
