The group tends to draw inspiration for their own sound from other Philadelphia musicians. They met one another at a boogie boarding competition that was hosted by rapper Jay-Z in New Jersey, and came together in an online chat room on a pro-longboarding forum.
In 2014 Joy Again jumped into their debut album. Forever

Joy Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
put a spell on me
with kisses so sweet, they rub my teeth
oh necromancer why are you so far away
another day rolls by without me kissing your face
oh girl wont you meet me in the city
but when will you just be with me
im so infatuated, id swim accross the sea
i guess youre just fading all away
i guess i have nothing much to say
you can call me and tell if youre ok
i just wish i could see you everyday
The song "Necromancer" by Joy Again is a tender love song that reflects the singer's deep infatuation with someone who is both physically and emotionally distant. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song, as Joy Again sings, "oh necromancer, put a spell on me." This line suggests that the singer is powerless against the charms of their lover, who seems to have an otherworldly hold over them.
The second stanza of the song further explores the singer's frustration with the fact that their lover is far away. "Another day rolls by without me kissing your face," laments the singer, conveying a sense of longing and desperation. The third stanza offers a glimmer of hope as the singer invites their lover to meet them in the city, describing the romantic atmosphere of the street lights and corner stores. However, the final stanza returns to a sense of resignation as the singer acknowledges that their lover is fading away and that they may not be able to maintain their connection.
Overall, "Necromancer" is a poignant and introspective song about the complexities of desire and longing for someone who is just out of reach.
