“Monsoon” is the second single from the band’s debut album landmark. It is a somber piano driven track about not feeling sad about the death of a family member.
“Monsoon” I wrote one day when we were in the studio, and it wasn’t until later that night when I realized it was about my sister’s death....
monsoon Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jake]
Just two days after the first of June
A pine with arms brushing off the dew
Unlike a sky copious with death
Precipitation of heart and head
Should wash the rest of her youth away
And carry on with it as she may
But something's pending curvaceously
'Cause sunburned skin won't agree with me
[Refrain: Jake & Whistler]
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
[Verse 2: Jake & Whistler, Nathan, Jake & Whistler]
The pleasure's good as the pleasure's sound
Chin held shut so my heart can talk louder
I was a mess just like the pool
Our days spent crossed out of Sunday school
July has always been shy of June
Some monsoon, monsoon, monsoon
Come heavy of a golden hue
My monsoon monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon
[Refrain]
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me
It should've been me

Was Nathan nervous about sharing such a personal track?
Nathan expressed his thoughts on the release of “Monsoon”:
Leading up to the release of the single I definitely wasn’t sure if I wanted to talk about it just because I didn’t want it to become like that song. It’s hard to explain but that’s definitely an interesting aspect when you’re writing a son...
