Their four track debut EP, ‘Mirrors’, has been produced by former SikTh members Dan Weller and Justin Hill (Enter Shikari, Haunts, Gallows), and covers a host of subjects, from party-induced-excess and temptation, to adolescent aspirations and dependency, and all this in little more than 16 minutes. However, it’s a brief blast of promise that should more than whet the appetite for what’s to come from the five-piece and serves as a ringing statement of intent.
A 12-track debut album 'All Our Kings Are Dead' was released on the 21st of July 2010, and was well-received by both critics and fans alike.
With former Johnny Truant drummer Paul Jackson (Alexisonfire, Cancer Bats, The Ghost Of A Thousand) handling artwork duties, and a forthcoming remix of ‘The Weight Of The World’ by Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins’ L’Amour La Morgue project, there’s a distinct British flavour to ‘Mirrors’.
“British music is so healthy right now, the scene here has been building for a long time,” explains singer Gustav Wood, “and to have people from some of the best bands, past and present, helping us out and digging our band is incredible.”
Having clocked up shows alongside the likes of Funeral For A Friend, Lostprophets, The Answer and We Are The Ocean already, and with a relentless touring schedule ahead of them including supporting All Time Low on their UK tour, it’s going to be near impossible to avoid Young Guns in 2011, and on the proof of 'All Our Kings Are Dead' and ‘Mirrors’, we wouldn’t advise even trying.
[1]On October 13th, Young Guns released their new song 'Learn My Lesson' after it was premiered on Zane Lowes Radio 1's show at 7.30pm.
Young Guns' new album 'Bones' is out in Feb!
Bones
Young Guns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lay and wait
Praying to whoever
Will listen to me
I founded my own cross
Been clutched by its weight
There's no darker message
Than turning your face
I'll see you down the end of the road
I deal in a different story
Oh, I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I'll do this on my own
Oh oh oh oh bones bones oh
When thin spirit swelling
My poor flesh is always weak
I found everything I needed
Right beneath my skin, oh
I'll see you down the end of the road
I deal in a different story
Oh, I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I'll do this on my own
We're all architects of our own private hell
No one can hurt us like we hurt ourselves
I'll see you down the end of the road
I deal in a different story
Oh, I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I feel it in my bones (bones)
Bones (bones)
I know I'm not alone
Oh oh oh oh bones bones oh
The lyrics of the song “Bones” by Young Guns depict a story of struggle and self-discovery. The song opens with the singer lying under the night sky, praying desperately and feeling the weight of a self-made cross. The words paint a picture of a person who has gone through tough times, and has struggled to find meaning in their life. However, despite feeling weighed down by their past and uncertain future, the singer makes a promise to themselves to never give up again, as they feel something deep within their bones that tells them they’re not alone on this journey.
The song’s chorus reinforces this message of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The singer will no longer give up, and will continue onward, even if they must do so alone. The second verse speaks to the idea that our own inner demons can often be the source of our greatest struggles, and that we alone are responsible for overcoming them. The final chorus brings the song to a close, with the singer reaffirming their conviction that they will always persevere, no matter what, and that they will never be alone in doing so.
Overall, “Bones” is a song about the human experience and the struggles that shape and define us. It is a message of hope and resilience, and a reminder that we are never truly alone in our struggles, as long as we have the strength and determination to keep moving forward.
