A little over a month after Valley released their first 2019 single “A Phone Call In Amsterdam,” the four-piece blessed their fans with another single, “Park Bench.”
In the track, Valley calls out the modern world, referencing topics such as depression, gun violence and the power of the media.
[Verse 1]
My love, my love, my love, my love I'm hiding
I’ve been useless and staring away
At a crowd on a park bench
Generate my mind, generation mind the silence
C-c-cry on my shoulder
Oh God, I'm getting older
Find some balance
[Chorus]
With your teeth stained white
Or some other kind
"Aw, baby," you tuck me in
On a modern time
But I'm still stained blue
Sitting right next to you
Yeah, in your pocket, reach
I’m just currency
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
My love, my love, my love, my love we're all just crying
On a break of an age, can't help but erase
When your gun shot's so violent
I guess you can call these hard times
"You buy your mental state in the grocery aisle"
"Just to tear some page of a cheap headline"
(He's just a silly nutcase you call a good guy)
[Chorus]
With your teeth stained white
Or some other kind
"Aw, baby," you tuck me in
On a modern type
But I'm still stained blue
Sitting right next to you
Yeah, in your pocket, reach
I'm just currency
[Bridge]
"Man, I just gave up trying"
"Rob, I just feel like dying"
In a vertical age, I'll just scroll it away
Huh-huh-huh hung up on a mistake
I wanna know where you’re going
I wanna know where you roam
I wanna come and find ya
Holding out all your heartache
Or brushing it off on a headache
[Verse 3]
My love, my love, my love, my love we’re hiding
I've been useless and staring away
At a crowd on a park bench
[Chorus]
With your teeth stained white
Or some other kind
"Aw, baby," you tuck me in
On a modern time
But I’m still stained blue
Sitting right next to you
Yeah, in your pocket, reach
I'm just currency
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm (Woah)
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm (Ah, we're all just dying)
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Park Bench was written by Michael Brandolino & Rob Laska & Karah James & Alex DiMauro.
Park Bench was produced by Alex DiMauro & Karah James & Rob Laska & Michael Brandolino & Andy Seltzer.
Valley released Park Bench on Fri Apr 26 2019.
Everything with this song started in Brooklyn at McCarren Park in December 2016. Park Bench represents the way the world and our lives felt at the time. Lots of chaos, yet lots of beautiful people fighting for the right things, lots of push and pull, lots of voices being heard and being silenced.
