She Is We “Boomerang”
Rachel Taylor, frontwoman of alternative pop/rock group, She Is We, today released the music video for the band’s new single “Boomerang,” on Vevo. The song premiered on Alternative Press and will be featured on the band’s debut album, WAR, out March 18.
She Is We’s music is arena-ready rock with radio-ready lyrics and a ton of fight. Taylor lives her life, she says, in fight or flight mode—awake and ready. “I battle every day, more pissed off than I am sad.” The savagery in her vocals stems from real life violence and abandonment, but she’s not taking it lying down, as you can hear in “Boomerang”: You held my head down/Didn’t let me breathe/But look who’s drowning now/You hear that loud sound/Screaming out and free/My voice was finally found.
Taylor is the former “savage frontwoman” (New York Times) of He is We, where in a New York Times review, Jon Caramanica noted her “pretty, powerful voice.”

– She Is We was the main support on Jack’s Mannequin’s ’10 Years in Transit’ Reunion Tour last month.

LYRICS:
Someone wise told me once
To keep my chin held high
And be brave.
I used to close my eyes
Bite my tongue
But now my fear
Has gone away.
You held my head down
Didn’t let me breathe
But look who’s drowning now
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found.
Boom baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playing your game
What goes around will come
Around again
Boom baby
Thought I’d just run away
Karma’s calling out your name
What goes around will come around
Again… like a boomerang.
Thought I’d keep my mouth shut
Like I always did
I’d hide away
Finally had more than enough
I found the words I had to say
You held my head down
Didn’t let me breathe
But look who’s drowning now
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found.
Boom baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playing your game
What goes around will come
Around again
Boom baby
Thought I’d just run away
Karma’s calling out your name
What goes around will come around
Again… like a boomerang.
Took advantage of my heart
You were trouble from the start
But I let you in
Lied and always tore me down
Thought I’d never speak out
But I wont let you win
I wont let you win…
Love this song!!!
