Time again for the song of the week from my iPod. I’m very late as this is the song for July 4th but let’s just say that things have been very hectic around our house. This song was chosen by Beth but it has my hearty support!

Nightmare Of YouNightmare Of You (NOY) is an American indie rock band from Long Island, NY (right around my neck of the woods). The group was formed in 2004 and self-published their first album in 2006. The members of the band are Brandon Reilly (vocals, guitar), Joseph McCaffrey (guitar), Michael Fleischmann (drums), and Brandon Meyer (bass).

NOY has been unable to get that breakthrough success but have been very popular on tours in the US and the UK. The group is very talented, their songs are very catchy, and they have even been featured on MTV and Fuse but the group hasn’t been able to find that one big song to bring them over the top. They have a new album coming out in one month so maybe their time has come. Beth and I saw them two years ago performing here on Long Island and Beth got a chance to talk to Brandon Reilly and I got to talk to his mother and grandmother!

“I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard” is one of three singles that came from their first album. The song has been their most popular so far. The video received a decent amount of play on Fuse.

I Want To Be Buried In Your Backyard
The streets are all violent
with murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey are dancing everyday
That waltzing jibberish
where intake becomes outlandish
I’m in a bad way every passing day

“So where do we go from here” I’ll say
you’re a shining star, you’d do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break

Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
for I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you’re still in my heart
You’re still in my heart

A flash of dark interest steers us into this car crash
uniting our remains, a fiery hurray …ay ay ay
Our hands touch unnoticed
pressed up against melting glass
You’re calling out my name as the air escapes

Oh “Where do we go from here” I’ll say
you’re a shining star, you’d do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break

Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you’re still in my heart

Oww..

“Where do we go from here” I’ll say
you’re a shining star, you’d do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break

Woo..

Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you’re still in my heart

When the flowers grow
just know you’re in my heart

When the flowers grow
just know you’re still in my heart…
