May Leave Scars

Breathe in, breathe out
The weight of the world has grown too much
You took the easy way out
But I’ve never been one to hold a grudge
You’ve given up
On everything we believed, now you are so out of touch

You tell me they can go to hell
Nobody cares, nobody wants, nobody needs to hear your story
It’s so full of bull excuses, I can tell
In loser’s words it’s always better to be safe than sorry

Say that stars don’t shine anymore
And the light in your eyes looks faded
Breathing may leave scars
But something you should know
If you tried, you could’ve made it
Say that nothing is as good as before
And our chances were slim to none
Breathing may leave scars
But something you should know
The best is yet to come

Within, without a dream,
Your life became a nightmare
Swallowed by doubt
Now all I see is the ghost of you here
A runaround
For all of your friends
Who stood by watching you disappear

You tell me they can go to hell
Nobody cares, nobody wants, nobody needs to hear your story
It’s so full of bull excuses, I can tell
In loser’s words it’s always better to be safe than sorry

Say that stars don’t shine anymore
And the light in your eyes looks faded
Breathing may leave scars
But something you should know
If you tried, you could’ve made it
Say that nothing is as good as before
And our chances were slim to none
Breathing may leave scars
But something you should know
The best is yet to come

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.
