Young Lions - Free Saturday (“FL&R”)

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) song each Saturday.

     Whether to upload songs to Soundcloud is a difficult business decision. It’s an oversimplification of the factors and relevant streaming platforms, but the decision can be described as a selection of Spotify revenue sharing versus Hype Machine worldwide exposure. Spotify pays a band/artist a small amount (extremely small) each time a song is played. Soundcloud does not, so if fans of a band use Soundcloud rather than Spotify, the band loses much-needed income. The flipside is that Hype Machine, the most popular aggregator, will repost a song featured on one of its contributing blogs only if there is a Soundcloud or Bandcamp upload.

     Well, Australia’s Young Lions have made the selection. Songs from the Brisbane-based band are not on Soundcloud or Bandcamp. They are flying under the radar in the U.S., but we respect their choice. The members are Zach Britt (Vocals), Morgan Castle (Bass), Matt Gibson (Drums), and Ryan Allison (Guitar).

Lyrics of “HELP.” by Young Lions
It's not easy to say this
But I'll try to get it all out
I think I see the future but I just can't figure it out

I think I'm scared of myself
It's getting harder to deal with
Wish I was somebody else
And now I'm stuck on a feeling
Oh God, I think I need you to
Help, help, help
Help

We can all see the future
But we don't know what we need
We've all got those memories
That we wish that we could unsee everything

I think we're scared of ourselves
It's getting harder to deal with
We wish we were somebody else
And now we're stuck on a feeling
We're scared we've got no one to
Help, help, help
Help
No one to help

So just call me
Anytime, anywhere
Just call me

When you get scared of yourself
And it gets harder to deal with
When you're going through hell
And you're stuck on a feeling
Maybe I can be there to
Help, help, help
Help
Maybe I can be there to
Help, help, help
Help
Sometimes we all need some
Help, help, help
Help
One day I know you will be fine with yourself
Help, help, help
Help
Sometimes we need some help
Help, help, help
Help, help, help
Help
