Like A Storm's journey began in 2005. After rehearsing once in their native New Zealand, Matt, Chris and Kent decided to move to North America and pursue the rock n' roll dream.
"New Zealand is such an awesome place to grow up," says Chris. "It's a really inspiring place--so beautiful and isolated. But the first time we jammed, we had this amazing chemistry, and we knew we had to take our sound to the world. We left our family and friends and set up in Canada. There are so many different experiences from that time, and the songs on the record are about them."
Upon moving to Canada, it only took one show for Like A Storm to build a buzz. Kai Marcus (Methods of Mayhem/Noise Therapy) saw the band and was instantly blown away. He struck up a friendship with the guys and introduced them to multi-platinum producer/mixer/engineer Mike Plotnikoff (Three Days Grace/My Chemical Romance/ Buckcherry) in early 2006. Plotnikoff and the boys immediately began trading ideas for what would become THE END OF THE BEGINNING.
Don't Cry

And nothing ever felt this rough
You feel one step away from giving up
Your wprld's come crashing to the floor
You wonder what you're fighting for
To see the end, there's nothing you want more
Don't cry when you feel like they're all after you
Don't cry when the drugs won't get you high
Don't cry when there's nothing left to get you through
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
You never feel you're good enough
You never heal when you've been cut
You hide away and lie awake in fear
'Cause it takes everything you've got
To turn and face another shot
And take another bullet in the mask you wear
[Chorus]
Don't cry when you feel like theyre all after you
Don't cry when there's nowhere left to hide
Don't cry when there's nothing left to get you through
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
When your walls are caving in
When they never let you win
You're alive
You're alive
You're alive
When you're standing in the dark
When the world tears you apart
Don't cry
You're alive
You're alive
[Chorus]
Don't cry when you feel like they're all after you
Don't cry, just wash away your eyes
Don't cry, don't let them get the best of you
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
The song "Don't Cry" by Like A Storm is a powerful anthem about overcoming hardship and not giving up. The lyrics are emotionally charged, describing the feeling of being at the end of one's rope and wanting to give up, but ultimately urging the listener to keep pushing forward. The first verse sets the stage, with the singer feeling completely helpless and defeated, wondering what they're fighting for. The chorus then serves as a rallying cry, with the repeated refrain of "Don't cry" urging the listener to keep going even when things seem impossible.
The second verse expands upon the themes of the first, describing the feeling of being cut down and hiding away in fear. The metaphor of taking "another bullet in the mask you wear" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the singer is putting on a brave face even though they are in pain. The song culminates in a final chorus, with the repeated refrain of "You're alive" emphasizing that even when everything feels hopeless, there is still a reason to keep fighting.
Overall, "Don't Cry" is a moving and inspiring song that speaks to the struggles we all face in life. Its message of perseverance and hope is delivered through powerful lyrics and a catchy musical arrangement, making it a standout track on Like A Storm's album.
