Emerging … Read Full Bio ↴2009 - 2017 ‒ Chino Hills, California, United States.
Emerging out of the combustive indie music scene of southern California in 2009, Max and the Moon and their relentless gig-playing have created a buzz that rides on its own frequency. The three-piece band, on the verge of officially releasing their second EP titled "The Way I See," display a talent for intricate songwriting and sounds ranging in resemblance to early Coldplay and the dancy catchiness of Passion Pit. Substance magazine writes, "their music has a way of pulling you in with their starry guitar echoing in combination with John’s soothing vocals and superb upper register."
On their first release, a self-titled EP (2010), Max and the Moon laid the foreground with a straight-up indie album. Laden with strong guitar licks, steady piano and punctuated vocal harmonies—the band makes full use of two primary vocalists—the EP affirmed the band as a group to pay attention to. Max and the Moon's follow-up, "The Way I See," shows the band's maturation into stronger songwriting and experimentation with new sounds, expanding their scope and offering a significant contribution to the ever-changing music scene in the wake of fellow Los Angeles-based band Local Natives.
Guitarist John Velasquez earned a degree in music at Cal State University, Fullerton, and began collaborating with longtime friends Matt and Dillon Couchois in the two brothers' small garage studio. The three-piece has come a long way in the few short years since their formation, challenging themselves everyday with booking shows or heading back to the drawing board on a new song that doesn't quite capture the right vision. In the present age of endless hype around new music, Max and the Moon stay true to passionately personal songwriting. That isn't to say these guys are low-key, though; the band revels in putting on energetic rock shows.

혼자 된 이 느낌에
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
어떻게 왜
날 떠나 네가
주고 간 믿음 다 가져가 지금
끝까지도 쉽게
포기한 걸 생각해 넌
우리 함께 걷던 곳에서 나 이제
혼자 내버려둔 너를 보내
잠깐 시간이 지나면 난 편하게
네 모습 웃으며 떠올릴게
이 밤이 지나고 잠이 들 땐
널 찾지 않게
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
그 날에서 모두 멈춘 것처럼
니가 내게 했던 말들은 지워지지 않아
불 꺼진 방에 앉아 떠올릴 땐
텅 빈 내 맘에 떠난 널 생각해
잠들지 못한 밤엔
지난 추억에 묶여
너를 밀어내고 난 뒤에
다시 잠에 들겠지 난
우리 함께 걷던 곳에서 나 이제
혼자 내버려둔 너를 보내
잠깐 시간이 지나면 난 편하게
네 모습 웃으며 떠올릴게
이 밤이 지나고 잠이 들 땐
널 찾지 않게
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
혼자 된 이 느낌에
The lyrics in "The Walk" by Max and the Moon depict a sense of loneliness and isolation that one feels after a relationship has ended. The singer is walking through a quiet and dark street alone, reminiscing about the times they used to walk together with their lover. The chorus repeats the phrase "walking on a quiet street at night, feeling alone," emphasizing the isolation and emptiness that one feels after a breakup. The song also emphasizes the difficulty of moving on and letting go of the past, as the singer is still caught up in memories of their past relationship.
The second verse reveals that the singer has tried to move on, but they find themselves unable to forget about their lost love. They recall the hurtful words that were said during the breakup and the emptiness left behind in their heart. The bridge of the song indicates that the singer hopes to eventually be able to look back on their memories with their lover with happiness, but for now, the pain and loneliness are too overwhelming.

모든 불이 꺼진 조용한 밤거릴 걸어
Walking on the silent streets with all the lights turned off
혼자 된 이 느낌에
Feeling lonely and alone
어떻게 왜
Why and how
날 떠나 네가
You leaving me
주고 간 믿음 다 가져가 지금
Taking away all the trust we had between each other
안 변해 절대 이젠 그만할래
I won't change and will stop now
끝까지도 쉽게
Even until the end, it won't be easy
포기한 걸 생각해 넌
Think about how you gave up
우리 함께 걷던 곳에서 나 이제
Now, here I am at the place where we used to walk together
혼자 내버려둔 너를 보내
Sending you who I left behind alone
잠깐 시간이 지나면 난 편하게
After a short while, I'll be comfortable
네 모습 웃으며 떠올릴게
I'll remember you smiling
이 밤이 지나고 잠이 들 땐
When this night is over and I fall asleep
널 찾지 않게
I won't look for you
그 날에서 모두 멈춘 것처럼
Like everything stopped that day
니가 내게 했던 말들은 지워지지 않아
The words you said to me won't be erased
불 꺼진 방에 앉아 떠올릴 땐
When I sit in the dark room and think
텅 빈 내 맘에 떠난 널 생각해
I think of you who left in my empty heart
잠들지 못한 밤엔
On the nights I can't fall asleep
지난 추억에 묶여
Tied up in past memories
너를 밀어내고 난 뒤에
After I pushed you away
다시 잠에 들겠지 난
I will eventually fall asleep again
