about

Over the past year, we’ve learnt the ins and outs of being a band. Being so young and getting this opportunity to present our music to so many people and to play these venues is incredible.

We’ve had the most amazing times playing sweaty gigs with our mates and watching the local Brisbane scene thrive with everyone supporting each other. This song really shows and symbolizes how we’ve grown together and how far we’ve come from our early beginnings.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
And you made it up
But then it snapped in two
All of the background noises
So preach for us
Branded house names
And make it all just sound

[Chorus]
Twenty-Four October lights the way
And people are staring and
Spit at some stage
Handshakes shouldn't go this way
Drop into some other place
Twenty-Four October lights the way

[Verse 2]
And you made it up
And then you tacked it up
To all the background noises
So preach for us
All the masses' names
And make it all just sound

[Chorus]
Twenty-Four October lights the way
And people are staring and
Spit at some stage
Handshakes shouldn't go this way
Drop into some other place
Twenty-Four October lights the way

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
(24) Twenty-Four October lights the way
(24) And people are staring and
(24) Spit at some stage
Handshakes shouldn't go this way
(24) Drop into some other place
Twenty-Four October lights the way
