How Would You Know?

The ones I love surrounding me
Friends and family
I wanna cry
Feeling everything I've felt
Should’ve asked for help
But I can't even try

Their hands upon my shoulders
They feel so crushing
They tell me to relax
But that's not easy for me
I’m racing now for cover
Hope that they won’t see the real me

Oh, I can’t fight this feeling
It brings me to my knees and
These thoughts they won’t let go of me
I’m bruised without a beating
I’m cut without bleeding
Ripping out your hearts to get free
It’s not your fault I’m not being
The things that you've needed
At least you can say you tried
And if I stop making sense
When my pain gets too intense
It's swallowing me up inside
But how would you know?

I don’t want to share these thoughts
They’re the fog that floats
Inside my head
A voice I don’t wanna hear
Whispers in my ear:
“This could be the end”

I guess I’ll take a chance
And deal with this on my own
Don’t wanna make you think
I’m not the person you’ve known
Don’t take it too hard
I’ll keep you outside for the time

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.
