WU LYF Breaks Up And Posts Farewell Track On YouTube

1.

Last night, Manchester band WU LYF posted a new song to their YouTube account, but sadly, it’s not pointing in the direction of a new record. Instead, the description that accompanied “T R I U M P H” explains that the band is no more:

“By the time I wrote this I was all ready gone. You know you aint got nothing but time, but time isn’t an infinite currency I want to see wasted. If this is our last month living, apocalypse looming, I am not going to spend my final hours waiting in purgatory. I am done. There is nothing here that inspires/ interests me beyond the emptiness for dreams. and I don’t want to spend my life asleep; dreaming of a….


“Wake up! We stay safe/ everything is golden/ in this place.


“WU LYF is dead to me. The sincerity of “Go tell fire” was lost in the bull shit of maintaining face in the world we live. Clap your hands chimp everybody’s watching. A year spent losing faith; Innocence lost wide eyes see clear the dark. There’s blood running down streets of every city in the world, what’s a song to do, pretend it mean everything/nothing to you. Another distraction from the world we live. I and I struggle for a based positivity; Get free or die trying; J C Hung him self up for the easy way out. so Broken Mama Cita be kind to me.”

Break-ups are always so bittersweet, and it’s unfortunate that WU LYF decided to stop making music after only releasing one album, 2011’s Go Tell Fire to the Mountain. Listen to “T R I U M P H” below and read the rest of the comments from the band, as well as the lyrics to their farewell track, on YouTube.

UPDATE: It appears that WU LYF has removed the video from their YouTube account. Thankfully, a YouTube user has uploaded “T R I U M P H.” Check it out below.
