LYRICS: Stare straight out in the pouring rain You can't ignore that stomach pain And all I know is the silence won't get you there Hollow hearts and racing minds The way you feel is justified But all I know is the silence won't get you there
Open your eyes
I fell asleep at the wheel Looking for a moment to steal I lost my way in the dark, oh And I made a mess out of art
Trapped inside of what you built I know the way you fill with guilt But listen here, the silence won't get you there All this time, you wonder why You only see through jaded eyes But listen here, the silence won't get you there
Open your eyes Open your mind Open your eyes
I fell asleep at the wheel Looking for a moment to steal I lost my way in the dark, oh And I made a mess out of art
Life's chances are slim, not always the best But you give what you've got 'til you got nothing left Let me attest, no let me confess It's important you know what beats in your chest
I fell asleep at the wheel (all alone) Looking for a moment to steal (away from you) I lost my way in the dark (all alone) I made a mess out of art (alone)
I fell asleep at the wheel Looking for a moment to steal I lost my way in the dark And I made a mess out of art, a mess out of art
"Life Lessons" is an emotional journey about overcoming personal struggles, reflecting on the challenges that shape who we are, and finding strength in perseverance. Written during a pivotal time for The Last Gatsby, the song delves into the raw emotions of loss, hope, and growth. Lead singer Josh Paul, who has faced multiple battles with cancer, pours his heart into the lyrics, making this track a testament to resilience and the will to keep fighting. With heartfelt vocals, powerful instrumentals, and a message that speaks to anyone who's faced adversity, "Life Lessons" captures the essence of never giving up on yourself.
Listen now and let the music remind you that every setback is a stepping stone toward growth.

Lyrics: So let's be honest my ghosts are haunted I'm learning the hard way this ain't worth it After all this time, I realized what a shame it was I lost my mind It's time to say it, I'm lost and I know it It seems to me I've lost that human element
Can I admit it, I messed up, I hid it And everything's so different A simple decision, I lost my conviction And now I feel so irrelevant I tried to tell you but I was sinking to fast I can't move forward when I'm stuck in the past
You pretend you're me again You're sick of it, I get it but I'm trying to admit it That I only seem to fight myself Instead of fixing problems in my head
Can I admit it, I messed up, I hid it And everything's so different A simple decision, I lost my conviction And now I feel so irrelevant I tried to tell you but I was sinking to fast I can't move forward when I'm stuck in the past
Is it always so wrong to hate what they tell you? When you can't sing along, just hold on you'll pull through. They say, “you'll pay for everything you think and say.” Is it always so wrong?
Can I admit it, I messed up, I hid it And everything's so different A simple decision, I lost my conviction And now I feel so irrelevant I tried to tell you but I was sinking to fast I can't move forward when I'm stuck in the pastThe Recovery | The Art Of Recovery EP | The Last GatsbyThe Last Gatsby2016-01-20 | “The Recovery” by The Last Gatsby from the "The Art of Recovery - EP" available at thelastgatsby.bandcamp.com, iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify now.

Lyrics: I was fine before my mind up and left me standing in the rain Take your time and you’ll fall in line to the rhythm of the beating of their drums
So please come to my rescue, Because I’ve been here before and I’m not really sure if I’ll be back for more,
They told you sure, in your own way you were doing ok Take your time and you’ll fall in line to the rhythm of the beating of your heart
So please come to my rescue, Because I’ve been here before and I’m not really sure if I’ll go back, So please come to my rescue, Because I’ve been here before and I’m not really sure if I’ll be back,
Will they keep talking about a world gone mad? And they keep wondering how things got so bad
Well there is no substance; there is no substance, but only excuses Well there is no substance; there is no substance; there is no substance, but only
So please come to my rescue, Because I’ve been here before and I’m not really sure if I’ll go back, So please come to my rescue, Because I’ve been here before and I’m not really sure if I’ll be back,

Lyrics: I always thought we’d take the world, by storm or force but you gave out So what’s inside that pretty head, I’m lost again was I mislead. And I don’t what to do about all these bitter thoughts and I don’t know what words to use
And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest And it hurts just to think, what could’ve been, should’ve been. And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest So I’ll wait my turn, because the nice guy never learns.
Locked out, I’m freezing again. And you know it’s how we all end. And I hope that we make amends but I need you to understand that this is how it ends.
And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest And it hurts just to think, what could’ve been, should’ve been. And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest So I’ll wait my turn, because the nice guy never learns.
When it comes to loves well I’ve had enough, but you’re at it again and I’m at my whits end and this is the time to look myself in the mirror. So I’m staring at me saying “your life’s complete,” but I know it’s a lie, I can see it in my eyes, and it’s such a mystery what you’ve done to me.
And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest And it hurts just to think, what could’ve been, should’ve been. And I’m not angry I’m not upset, it’s just this hollow spot in my chest So I’ll wait my turn, because the nice guy never learns.Taylor Swift - Bad Blood (Pop-Punk Cover by The Last Gatsby)The Last Gatsby2015-07-02 | New Album "The Art of Recovery" coming out this Fall!

Publishing: BMI Music PublishingThe Last Gatsby - Warped Tour Trailer 2014The Last Gatsby2014-10-07 | This is just a small clip of The Last Gatsby playing at this year's warped tour in Salt Lake City. This is one of the coolest opportunities that we as a band have ever had!
With the words, "Choke on your judgment, I'm here for the moment", lead singer Josh Paul makes it clear that The Last Gatsby is not to be ignored. The Post Punk quartet blasted onto the Salt Lake City music scene with their debut album, "Hearts and Machines", an intricate creation that lends itself to a new style of aggressive punk rock. Citing influences like My Chemical Romance, Blink 182, A Day to Remember, and Brand New, The Last Gatsby is fast becoming the glue between pop-punk and metal in the Salt Lake City music scene.
Originating in late 2012 with Josh Paul, the energetic, Boston-born front man, the band cycled through several members before finally settling on the following misfits in mid-2013: The explosive and acerbic drummer, Jonathan Hoopes, low-pressure bassist Patrick Duff, and the unmistakably unique guitarist Gary Samuelson III.
Within weeks of the new line-up's formation, The Last Gatsby opened up for pop punk pioneers Cartel at The Complex in Salt Lake City. This event triggered a ripple of excitement in the Utah music scene, pushing the band to produce "Hearts and Machines" with Noisebox Studios. Soon after, they released their first single, "Coffin", made an appearance on Park City TV, and together with NICE Productions, produced the official "Coffin" Music Video.
They're barely a year old and they're already transforming the music with powerful melodies, biting lyrics and a determination to shatter the routine.The Last Gatsby: Blacklight (Full Album Stream)The Last Gatsby2014-06-09 | This is track 9 off of the The Last Gatsby's new album "Hearts and Machines" released in Nov. 2013.

The Last Gatsby blasted onto the band scene with it's original four members of Josh, Matt, Dan and Cody, playing their first live show only 2 weeks after formation. However their good fortune was short lived as Matt and Cody parted ways with the band shortly after it's first live performance. Josh and Dan were left without a drummer and with only one guitar but in a stroke of unforeseen luck were contacted by Jon Hoopes about coming on as their drummer and once again the boys from The Last Gatsby surged forward playing a show 2 weeks later with a brand new drummer. In time Dan took up a different roll in the band and began managing the groups affairs while Patrick Duff came onto replace his deep rumbling bass. In time the trio recruited Gary Samuelson to play lead guitar and created the line up that takes the stage today. Mission objective: Brainwash the nation with propaganda filled music. Just kidding. They don't take anything that serious. They're only here to get headaches from head banging too hard on the stage.
Talk about talk about all your business Like it was hers, like it was his, like it's a hit list Rock bottom, rock solid, what's the meaning? What's the take? What's the difference? So break it down break it down all your systems And bring it back, let it slack to the basics Cause you're leaving and I'm bleeding The dawns invicible but so untouchable
You were building legs to move you forward
We're getting lost again and we're loosing oxygen But I don't mind if you don't mind Let's make this a coffin for the two of us and We're seeing black and white and we're trading appetites You for less, me for more I guess I'll just bury myself
Look at me, look at me, ain't I hopeless A total wreck, take a guess, I'm clueless Two lovers, what jokers, so take a seat next to my heart break marathon Bound to fall, it's my call, I'm diving Head first or worthless it's garbage Red handed, a life's bandage Cause when I light it up you don't seem to care at allCoffin (live)The Last Gatsby2013-06-13 | The Last Gatsby performing "Coffin"Thoughts of a mind reader (live)The Last Gatsby2013-06-13 | The Last Gatsby's latest song!
