start to finish, with each member contributing songs and lyrical ideas. The tracks “<b>We Were Young</b>,” “<b>Believe</b>,” and “<b>Somebody Real</b>” hint at a more mature sound with a heavier subject matter compared to previously released material. The
band describes the lead single,<b> “Last Chance,</b>” as a “longer and more complex journey than any other song of ours.”<span style="color:black"> </span><u><span style="color:blue"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/noble-steed-music/last-chance"><b>PRESS HERE</b></a></span></u><span style="color:black"> </span>to
