lord of the boof Astounding vocals, excellent dreamy-math-rock guitar riffs, and extraordinary lyrics push "Middle Children" into one of the best debuts I've ever heard. Not a single weak track here and talent is flooding out of the brim on it. Do yourself a favor and listen to the next best thing in the emo revival. Favorite track: Impress Your Parents.

Luke Gonzales serious talent combined with serious personality equals "middlechildren". Cody and company know how to construct something i feel is best described as just good ass music. just as good, if not better, live if you are fortunate enough to catch these guys. thank you narrow/arrow Favorite track: Mantaman.

Orsonius This is the best music I've found all year, maybe even for the last two years. Every song sounds amazing, I'm impressed by the singer/guitarist for playing 2 instruments simultaneously and singing very well.
The lyrics are also great, I told everyone I know about guys!

The best man the earth could offer Made the mistake of making others Raising them into the slaughter Praising gods for fathers And Holy Ghosts My limbs aren't long enough for it to feel safe Keeping you at arms length I swear I'm not afraid When I'm judas Foaming at the mouth Touching myself and praying Something worth saving comes out Because death didn't spare me the doubt

Mantaman 03:15
Im sorry but I left my guts by the stairs Thats why I didnt say much "Im worried son, come home, get clean, get some prayer My God is enough... cuz I said he was" And faith feels safe when you're scared to face the truth That even dim light leads to brighter rooms and every answer is still filled with proof that your words mean as much as mine do Caught up in our differences, the difference is ive tasted it And faith feels safe when you're scared to face the truth That even dim light leads to brighter rooms and every answer is still filled with proof that your words mean as much as mine do

Oh I never find lucid dreams ever reoccurring They're always blurry filled with signs I cant read i'm always passing, so I started wearing glasses when I sleep But all I did was bend the frames I bent them back but they don't fit the same And thats just one lesson you take from making fake attempts to change I am not your prodigal son But if i'm wrong I guess I'm still on the run So please stop fucking praying for me cuz if you mean well you'd pardon me to leave

Savior Talk 03:24
Gather all thats good together and force it all to breed But not before a wedding ring, and not before they see me follow through at least on one of these endeavors Even love feels incomplete I heard the devil at my heel Just leaned to wash my feet He said there's dirt in every field No point to keep them clean You waste time bothering Forgive yourself for how you feel What's real is wandering Even love feels incomplete

Air Run 04:17
You use to choose the words that you would speak Critique some old beliefs, were wise when I was weak Maybe choosing life was like a promise you had to keep, but never to me To penetrate a virgin wasn't worth hell or the hassle, so you settled your concern with a diamond I guess that's the price of lessons learned That the person you sleep beside may shimmer and shine through the night But I'll let you know if I find the place where the real treasure lies Well between my temper and your timing we probably just forgot to maybe leave a little room for honesty You were ready for me to lead, but not ready to follow Showing signs of Peter in the 3rd degree When I tasted the church but never swallowed
