Signing Emo |
«Marty, Marty listen to me |
Bring me something the kids will cry for |
Get out there, and get us stoked!» |
Meet Marty, major label A&R scout |
Forty years old, gut hanging out |
Red Ferrari, Marty living in L. A |
Bumps another line to get through the day |
Dumped by his girl, he paid for her liposuction |
His friends call him Money in his introduction |
And Marty knows nothing but claims to know it all |
Lose the flat screen TV if he drops the ball |
You’re as good as your last hit, find the next big thing |
If he doesn’t bring the bling, his cell phone won’t ring |
What’s the trend, what’s new? |
What’s a label scout to do? |
Office life, Marty 11:32 |
The label pres. |
calls and yells, «Sign more emo!» |
How about screamo? |
«If it sells, sign Nemo,» |
«We're down 2%, and BMG knows |
My daughter likes Dashboard, so get me one of those!» |
He checks AP.net, the Scout and more |
Yelling band names to his assistant through the door |
The kids like this, who cares if it’s great? |
So he signs a band called Hearts that Hate |
«Marty… we’ve got a hit!» |
Cry tonight. |
My hands around your hands |
I won’t let you die tonight |
Cry tonight. |
My heart’s in your hands |
I won’t let you… |
Hearts that Hate, Marty goes to their show |
Up in the club and here we go |
Marty sees a girl in a Simple Plan shirt |
With a Senses Fail boy, ha! |
that’ll never work |
He finds his label friends in the corner they huddle |
An emo cattle auction, they penetrate the bubble |
They talk about Victory and signing TBS |
Dissing the same bands they just tried to impress |
So the lights go down, the crowd starts to scream |
Hearts that Hate have hit the scene |
Blake on vocals, and lead guitar |
He does a backflip, «Look how different we are!» |
They show up at the studio to record it |
A TRL, Billboard Modern Rock hit |
They auto-tune Blake, but he can’t tell |
He says, «I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well» |
ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste |
Quantized solos and quantized bass |
Signed, sealed, delivered and sent |
Across the U.S. and the single went |
Momentum builds, but it all caves in |
Industrial comes back, the pres. |
needs a NIN |
Marty finds a new band called «Fetal Coil» |
And Hearts that Hate try to keep their fans loyal |
They re-work their sound for album number two |
As «Machines of Hate» but their career is through |
They break up and work pushing mops and brooms |
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room |
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room |
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room |
«Can you teach me track five Mr. Blake?» |
«Hey, I wrote that song and it goes like this!» |
