The band name came from Bastille Day (July 14) which kickstarted the French Revolution. Same day as Dan’s birthday!

Happier
Length: 3:34
Release: 2018
Opening Lyrics:
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
When we see what we’ve become
In the cold light of day we’re a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we’ve begun
Every argument, every word we can’t take back
‘Cause with the all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that this story ends
I want to change my mind
‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I’ll have to leave
Pompeii
Length: 3:34
Release: 2013
Opening Lyrics:
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Many days fell away with nothing to show
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you’ve been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Good Grief
Length: 3:26
Release: 2016
Opening Lyrics:
Shut my eyes and count to ten
It goes in one ear out the other, one ear out the other
Burning bright right till the end
Now you’ll be missing from the photographs, missing from the photographs
In my thoughts you’re far away
And you are whistling the melody, whistling the melody
Crystallizing clear as day
Oh, I can picture you so easily, picture you so easily
What’s gonna be left of the world, oh
Of The Night
Length: 3:34
Release: 2012
Opening Lyrics:
It’s a soul’s companion
People feel it everywhere
Free your mind and join us
You can feel it in the air
Oh, oh, you can feel it in the air
Oh, oh, it’s a passion
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, sunshine in an empty place
Take me too, turn to
And, babe, I’ll make you stay
(Oh, yeah)
Joy
Length: 3:12
Release: 2019
Opening Lyrics:
On the kitchen floor
But here I lie, not the first time
Now my morning has broken
And it brings the fear
My minds fallin’, fallin’
But regrets can’t change anything
Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening
When your name lights up the screen
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
Joy
Set my mind free
I was giving up, oh I was giving in
