Another Illusion

I know it’s not that easy
To see things for what they are
Not how we always thought they’d be
To live your life and feel time
As it slips through your fingers
It’s taking you away from me

I have so much to tell you
But I don’t know if I can
Nothing I say makes any sense
I’d change it all, don’t know how
It’s all I think about now
Something you’ll never comprehend

Always useless
Another illusion

You know, it’s getting harder
Resisting what’s in my head
I have to face it every day
I try so hard to stay strong
I’m trying not to lose faith
But you can’t trust a thing I say

I’m sorry that I’ve hurt you
Sometimes I just can’t explain
All of the choices that I make
Yet you refuse to let go
You keep me close and I know
If all else fails, you’ll remain

Always useless
*A fleeting moment of hope x2*
Another illusion
*A fleeting moment of hope x2*

Always useless
*A fleeting moment of hope x2*
Another illusion
*A fleeting moment of hope x2*

I’m sorry that I’ve hurt you
Sometimes I just can’t explain
All of the choices that I make
Yet you refuse to let go
You keep me close and I know
If all else fails, you’ll remain

Artist Biography

Spearheaded by two Russian-born vocalists, Boston-based band Major Moment has come from distant parts of the world to form a true modern alternative rock band.

Major Moment has quickly developed a diverse and kinetic sound that integrates heavy guitar riffs, multi-layered synths, and melodic vocal blends. With their 2018 debut EP “one small stEP”, the band was nominated for got nominated for Independent Music Awards in “Best Production - Rock” (the only rock record nominated) and “Best Lyric Video”; for Hollywood Music In Media Awards in “Best Rock”; as well as “Best CD Artist” and “Best Rock Act” at the Worcester Music Awards.

In addition to “one small stEP” that was dedicated to the late Chester Bennington, Major Moment created an emotional tribute, “Leave Out All The Rest”. The distinguished music video for this song was released as a standalone asset to support the mission of a suicide prevention campaign, 320 Changes Direction. The video was produced by the Grammy-nominated Project 2 Studios and received more than 450,000 views in its first month. It’s being popular not only among the fans but Chester’s close friends and family as well, increasing band’s visibility on an international scale.

Just 3 months after releasing “one small stEP” Major Moment has already recorded 4 new follow-up singles with acclaimed producer Kevin Billingslea and six-time Grammy Winner Adam Ayan on board. One of the singles, “May Leave Scars”, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in Rock category. This year’s judging panel included such famed artists as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, Natasha Bedingfield, and more. This song also became the semi-finalist of the International Songwriting Competition. Another single, “Living Your Life Like This”, has been streamed over 100,000 times on Spotify in its first month. Together, these four songs formed a new EP called “The Sequel” that was released on April 25th, 2019.

Major Moment is quickly gaining momentum, canvassing venues in and around MA and NH, as well as international venues. They received over 60 radio adds along with hype from Relix, Tattoo and Impose and performed at the 2019 winter NAMM show.
