Travel breaks down a kind of inner structure we have.
Stripped of our props, deprived of our masks, we are
completely on the surface of ourselves." - Albert Camus
Augustana's debut All the Stars and Boulevards is a true
rite of passage-an album full of airplanes and acclimation,
of New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, and San Diego
and, maybe most importantly, the moments of self-awareness
in between. But first... Greenville, Illinois.
After growing up on the West Coast, lead singer Dan Layus
landed at Greenville College in Illinois, where he majored
in music. When Dan met Josiah Rosen, the two found a shared
passion for bands like More...
Review about Augustana Wow | Reviewer: Unnoticed
------ About the song Not Alone performed by Augustana
Wow... This is a song I can really relate to, it's like you're a bystander, disconnected from the world... I get that feeling sometimes, and I can't help but wonder if that was what the writer of this song was feeling at the time... A sort of... detachment...
Oh, and on a side note...
The song aforementioned, that comes after this one on iTunes, is called 'Charlie'...

------ About the song Boston performed by Augustana
I'm almost 40 and I can relate to this song. You never know when everything will be turned upside down in this life, and you have to start over. The only thing you can guarantee is that at some point it will happen. And when it does, you can turn this song way up, roll down the windows in your car, and sing along at the top of your lungs.
Amazing.. | Reviewer: Susie
------ About the song Not Alone performed by Augustana
I love this song. It is truly amazing.
I think it is about depression.
"look at them running off the sidewalk,
look at us falling off a building,
look at them reading lights,
look at me, look at you,
could everybody standing around us,
could everybody drown us here
just looking through the looking glass"
It is comparing himself with everyone else around him. He feels like he is observing life rather than participating ("just looking through the looking glass"). But he is not the only one looking, as he also talks about someone else being there.
The second verse is more about seeing things that, like depression, are hidden, and then finally stepping through the looking glass and joining life.
Well that is how I see it anyway. :)
i like this song | Reviewer: allie
------ About the song Not Alone performed by Augustana
i have this song on iTunes and it's really weird
because after the song is over
there's about 2 minutes of silence
and then a new song starts and it's not by Augustana
and i've searched for the lyrics but the song like doesn't exist
it's really creepy
the song goes:
Johnny who do you think you are?
and go to sleep
Johnny who do you love?
everyone you know is gone to sleep
and i don't really understand the rest
Nice song. | Reviewer: Nicky
------ About the song Coffee And Cigarettes performed by Augustana
I don't know what the song means, but I really like the song. I mean, I don't know EXACTLY what it means, but what idea I have works for me, I'm probably wrong but that's how I've interpreted the song. Its a good song.

------ About the song Boston performed by Augustana
well i herd this song like last year...yeah i really didn't get the lyrics till i started realizing i wanted to move somewhere else then i remembered this song n i totally related to it.....i love it!
Iv been one of those guys, all into the rap world, and some linken park, but secretly i was searching for a band who made music, real music, and ever since i listen to hotel Roosevelt and wasteland, i have been hooked, your words, the music, it captures
a feeling nothing else can, i like how its not perfect, just like every great peace of art, it cant be perfect, and that makes it perfect, most of all i love the words used in wasteland, its all so true, it hit me so hard, "were nothing more then fools and hoers", i just wish i could see you guys live

------ About the song Boston performed by Augustana
This song always reminds me of going to berklee in the late 70s early 80s. The memorys flooded back. once I took a shit right in the middle of Mass Ave at about 2 in the morning. Got multiple blow jobs in the Fens by prostitues. beat up my fair share of the homeless after a drunken night at the Rat. I sure miss those days :( and every time I hear "Boston" it brings back those nice memories.

This song is great for someone in high school who occasionally feels like they need to get away from the world and go to a place where no one knows their problems or even their names. I know I do!!! This song rocks!

------ About the song Boston performed by Augustana
I remember when this song came out, and when I heard it on the radio on Sirius. It had a totally different tune too it, it wasn't played by just the piano. But either way, it's an amazing song. I loved it from the first time I heard it to even now. And it doesn't even have to be Boston. It could be anywhere. I agree that people are reading too far into this song. He didn't pick Boston for the fact it's Boston. But its random. Like wanting to go somewhere on a road trip but your unsure where to you point to somewhere on a map and maybe it says Paducah. Its just the simple fact of wanting to try something new, you're tired of the same day to day routine in a place that bores you. Or maybe its the town you grew up in. Either way, you're just wanting to leave, and find some place different for awhile. I could go into more detail, but I'm sure you catch my drift.

------ About the song Boston performed by Augustana
Some of the people commenting on this song are reading to far into it. Why can't this song simply be what it is... there doesn't need to be any explanation. Its beautiful and to each person means something different, theres no reason why it should or shouldn't be Boston, why does that even matter? There is more to it than just the city.

An interesting song. Nothing spectacular though. very relateable though. Life is so fast and one day when you think about your actions you relize it. Boston is a place to take this knowledge and possibly make better.
