I've been up and I've been down I've been around I've been here and I've been there Been everywhere I got so high I left the ground I've been around I've been high and I've been low It comes and goes I've been wrong and I've been right Well, that's just life I've searched my whole life for something I haven't found I got so high I left the ground Sunk so deep I almost drowned Yeah, I've been around I've searched my whole life for something I haven't found I've been on the upside and I've been upside down I got so high I left the ground Sunk so deep I almost drowned Yeah, I've been around

"Look within yourself," they say, "that's the key" But when I look inside I don't like what I see I don't like what I see So you tell me, how's that for brutal honesty? "Things aren't as bad as they seem," is what they say But when I take a look it doesn't seem that way No, it doesn't seem that way to me So you tell me, how's that for brutal honesty? All the tears in the world now Can't change the way things are And all your prayers to a god that isn't there Can't change the fact that life's not fair

about

At long last Supercrush is finally back with Supersingle #3. Luckily, the wait has been worth it and the reward is two more hummable ear-worms that will refuse to leave your head. The A side, "I’ve Been Around," is two minutes of uptempo summertime guitar-pop perfection, full of stacked vocal harmonies, rock ’n’ roll flourishes, and just a touch of fuzz when it really counts - quite possibly the ‘Crush’s catchiest tune yet. Side B, on the other hand, finds the group exploring somewhat more bittersweet territory with the song "Brutal Honesty." While equally as melodic as the A side, "Brutal Honesty" takes the energy down a notch in order to evoke a more forlorn set of emotions, landing on the the cliche, but inescapably accurate truism: “life’s not fair”. Not exactly a “feel good” song, and yet, it strikes that irresistible chord of melancholy that aches so pleasantly.
