I love how the entire chorus is satire. From the lyrics to the poppy chord progression, which makes it genius. The fact that he's singing a happy song to please certain people is itself sad haha. I love Hotel Books!
"If it's not too much to ask maybe someday you'll sit back and you'll find some time to miss me too" ahhh my favorite line, I find myself thinking about it a lot 😞 ...Great song!
After weeks of just sadness about my life and a girl I decided I will be moving out soon of my parents place. I'm 19 don't know where i'm going but i'm moving out with friends in August to grow as a person, take on life, and ultimately have everlasting experiences. I love this song as of recently because i'm tired of feeling sad and everything about it motivates and makes me happy every time as of recently. Thank you, I love you guys.
Listen and saw them for the first time last night with Hawthorne Heights, and you know what i a Impress, their music is different but it’s good different. They are amazing; and will be listening to them way more
Obsessed! I've had this song on repeat, I've even annoyed my family walking around singing this. I love you guys ❤ been a fan for years. You never disappoint!
I'm sure plenty of people will be put off by the new sound but personally I think it's an awesome and welcome evolution. Keep up the great work and can't wait to hear the full album in oct!
If Van Nuys is any tell, this album will be more like "I'm Almost Happy Here..." and "Run Wild, Young Beauty" than it will be like "Run Wild, Stay Alive" or this song. P sure this is a piece of satire about people complaining about sound changes and people pushing for certain sound changes.
"...and if some day you don't still love me, just know that I will miss you. If it's not too much to ask, maybe some day you'll sit back and you will find some time to miss me too."
I think I saw Cam at a Hooters with his grandma in Anaheim once. I was wearing a hotel books T-shirt and drinking coffee lol to this day I have no idea if it was him (this was a couple years ago)
It's quite humorous to listen to these lyrics. It's like you guys are making fun of yourselves for all the different things you've tried with your music. I like it. I still prefer the slam poetry/spoken word stuff, though. My favorite song is Nothing Is Different. Continue making music however you want, even if people aren't satisfied. Your music is yours before anyone else.
I'm guessing the sound of the song plays with the "I hope you're happy mom, I wrote a happy song" line? poking at people who think your songs are too sad?
Well they are. Seeing him live changed my whole perspective about his music. It's all a bunch of depressing things trying to be "poetic" but missing the mark because of his poor fucking attitude and stage presence. He's disrespectful. Told everyone at the show he was going to quit, was on his phone half the time he was on stage, and also made some piss poor excuse for being lazy and not engaging with his fans. Also made a passive aggressive insult about Convictions being "too loud" for his concussion caused by a spider, and then played it off as "lol I'm not hating the other band that played. I'm only kidding." Sarcasm is the only thing he's good at. Tries too hard to be edgy. I even gave his book a chance, and it's literally an entire book of him complaining about his life.
Awesome, can't wait to hear more! I saw you at The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham, hope you come over this way again! My ears have never recovered, it's so loud in that place! It was truly an experience, Cam is an amazing talent, hats off to you 😙😆xxx
Hope they're better than when I saw them. It was one of the worst shows I've been to. I left completely disappointed. He treated his fans like dirt, didn't even talk to anyone. Blamed it on a fucking spider biting him, that caused him to fall into a wall getting a concussion. He was on his phone half the show, and also told all of us he wasn't going to make music anymore. The depressing "slam poetry" he put into his songs transferred over into his entire persona on stage, but not in a way you'd expect. Between each song he just complained about his life. There was no raw emotion he put into performing at all.
Keep doing what y’all like; been a fan the entire ride but imo I do love the spoken word/slam stuff a tad more due to those specifically having a special place in a time of my life.
[Intro] She likes her rock and roll And be broke and famous With broken [?] To take all their time [Verse 1] She likes her rock and roll to be loud and honest Proud and androgynous, not searching for context She likes her rock and roll to teach her about herself And how to [?] not depleting your mental health She rock and rolled her way out of Poughkeepsie She left her family so she could be right next to me Well, do what you gotta do, but I will tell the truth and I didn't ask you to You might be something I cannot lose [Chorus] We sound nothing like we did at the start We made some rock and gave up on art I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt I wanna change the world, but also change myself I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out [Verse 2] Darling, you got your first taste of fame I hope it tastes as good as you thought 'Cause once you play the game, nothing's the same And that fame might be all that she got 'Cause I'd rather live with a broken heart than no heart at all Left with questions and remarks that narrate the fall We'll paint a picture and cover it in gray And peel away an inch every time we feel our love stray So by the end we could look at the beautiful art That you and I made, if we don't already fade [Chorus] We sound nothing like we did at the start We made some rock and gave up on art I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt I wanna change the world, but also change myself I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out [Bridge] Yet it's someday you don't still love me Just know that I will miss you If it's not too much to ask Maybe someday you'll sit back And you'll find some time you miss me, too 'Cause I can get it wrong Sometimes I know I'm right I don't wanna sing another sad song Just wanna celebrate life [Chorus] We sound nothing like we did at the start We made some rock and gave up on art I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out
Love Cam's previous work, but I've honestly been hoping Hotel Books would go in this direction for a while. Sounds like a fluid progression, I'm stoked for this album.
To everyone that is giving hate to them, understand that they write and compose about how they feel! They were through a lot and this is a recovery fase and now they're much better... He thought in suicide so many times, he deserves good things now! And for God sake if you want the artist to write what masses want to fucking listen Pop music
For those who so call "Real Fan" saying this song sucks/lame for chaging direction, just read this.... [Chourus] We sound nothing like we did at the start We made some rock and gave up on art I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt I wanna change the world, but also change myself I hope you're happy, Mom I wrote a happy song Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out Get it your haters elitise scuambag fucks LOL

Such a precious band. Hotel books never gets old, thank you for everything Cam.
I will always love this band. No matter what direction they go!
Gonna love this band forever. Beautiful and meaningful music
Logan Welty same man... Same
Listen and saw them for the first time last night with Hawthorne Heights, and you know what i a Impress, their music is different but it’s good different. They are amazing; and will be listening to them way more
Watching the progression of this band is beautiful 💖💖💯
Cam, I love your music man. Don't ever stop . Hope to see you one day
Ok, this is something new. It's strange, but good. Waiting for a new album. Love you.
Obsessed! I've had this song on repeat, I've even annoyed my family walking around singing this. I love you guys ❤ been a fan for years. You never disappoint!
Im upset I have only just found this band. Such great music.
I'm sure plenty of people will be put off by the new sound but personally I think it's an awesome and welcome evolution. Keep up the great work and can't wait to hear the full album in oct!
that song is straight up satire, the other songs will be old styled
If Van Nuys is any tell, this album will be more like "I'm Almost Happy Here..." and "Run Wild, Young Beauty" than it will be like "Run Wild, Stay Alive" or this song. P sure this is a piece of satire about people complaining about sound changes and people pushing for certain sound changes.
Lol read the chorus.
"...and if some day you don't still love me, just know that I will miss you. If it's not too much to ask, maybe some day you'll sit back and you will find some time to miss me too."
PLEASE, do more like it, i really like your voice that way!
These guys are pretty awesome! Been a while since a good alternative rock band came out
So much new bands with albums coming out this year! I'm excited!
Love love love love
i like seeing Chris Fronzak in this video at 1:06
if its not too much to ask, maybe someday you'll sit back and you'll find some time to miss me too.
diggin it!
I’ve been listening since ghosts can’t love. I love the new noise :) keep up with these songs, they’re amazing!!!
Thank you Cam! I cant wait to listen to the whole album your my hero! @hotelbooks
So good, Cam, you're an exceptional creative artist
This is so brilliant! Remember the first time some one told you not to be depressed anymore? This song got you xD
you did write a happy song. but I love how real you are. you get my juices going when I'm about to write. ❤
Love Hotel Books, keep up the great music
I love hotel books😍
Every song they make never disappoints. ❤️
I think I saw Cam at a Hooters with his grandma in Anaheim once. I was wearing a hotel books T-shirt and drinking coffee lol to this day I have no idea if it was him (this was a couple years ago)
still love this
I’m glad you guys are trying new things out. I️ like it ! 😃 Much love.

I still prefer the slam poetry/spoken word stuff, though. My favorite song is Nothing Is Different. Continue making music however you want, even if people aren't satisfied. Your music is yours before anyone else.
I'm so glad hotel books are back I love their music
I absolutely NEED a behind the scenes for this.
63k views??! What the hell!!! Should be 4 million plus.
I'm guessing the sound of the song plays with the "I hope you're happy mom, I wrote a happy song" line? poking at people who think your songs are too sad?
And "we made some rock, and gave up on art"
Xale42 ya think ? Everyone of his songs is depressing as shit lol
Xale42 literally every one of his songs are gutwrenching sad. So no idt so.
Xale42 u obviously don't listen to the rest of the lyrics
Well they are. Seeing him live changed my whole perspective about his music.

I love you guys. See you in phx next time i hope!
Awesome, can't wait to hear more! I saw you at The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham, hope you come over this way again! My ears have never recovered, it's so loud in that place! It was truly an experience, Cam is an amazing talent, hats off to you 😙😆xxx
Love their new version ❤ the emotion in his voice is on a different level
This song makes me feel good.
I'm seeing Hotel Books live in a few months
Hope they're better than when I saw them. It was one of the worst shows I've been to. I left completely disappointed. He treated his fans like dirt, didn't even talk to anyone. Blamed it on a fucking spider biting him, that caused him to fall into a wall getting a concussion. He was on his phone half the show, and also told all of us he wasn't going to make music anymore.

I'm in love
Wow it's something new! I live this Hotel Books 📚
Don't get me wrong, I dig your old music, but this really made me feel better after having a bad episode.

My nigga Cam really put on the juggalo mask, going to roast him as soon as I see him.
New to me and I dig it!
Gahlee I love this song
Keep doing what y’all like; been a fan the entire ride but imo I do love the spoken word/slam stuff a tad more due to those specifically having a special place in a time of my life.
love this
this song is great, and i love the video, it seems like you guys had a fun time filming it., keep up the good work!
Lyrics?
Katelyn Sucks I need. I'm Russian and I can't understand what he sings, but I need to know.
[Intro]
She likes her rock and roll
And be broke and famous
With broken [?]
To take all their time
[Verse 1]
She likes her rock and roll to be loud and honest
Proud and androgynous, not searching for context
She likes her rock and roll to teach her about herself
And how to [?] not depleting your mental health
She rock and rolled her way out of Poughkeepsie
She left her family so she could be right next to me
Well, do what you gotta do, but
I will tell the truth and
I didn't ask you to
You might be something I cannot lose
[Chorus]
We sound nothing like we did at the start
We made some rock and gave up on art
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt
I wanna change the world, but also change myself
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out
[Verse 2]
Darling, you got your first taste of fame
I hope it tastes as good as you thought
'Cause once you play the game, nothing's the same
And that fame might be all that she got
'Cause I'd rather live with a broken heart than no heart at all
Left with questions and remarks that narrate the fall
We'll paint a picture and cover it in gray
And peel away an inch every time we feel our love stray
So by the end we could look at the beautiful art
That you and I made, if we don't already fade
[Chorus]
We sound nothing like we did at the start
We made some rock and gave up on art
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt
I wanna change the world, but also change myself
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out
[Bridge]
Yet it's someday you don't still love me
Just know that I will miss you
If it's not too much to ask
Maybe someday you'll sit back
And you'll find some time you miss me, too
'Cause I can get it wrong
Sometimes I know I'm right
I don't wanna sing another sad song
Just wanna celebrate life
[Chorus]
We sound nothing like we did at the start
We made some rock and gave up on art
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
I hope you're happy, Mom
I wrote a happy song
Here's your voice of end, that's why we sell out
tmlguy24 i use Genius too ;)
This is fucking incredible! I think I just found my new favorite band
Love Cam's previous work, but I've honestly been hoping Hotel Books would go in this direction for a while. Sounds like a fluid progression, I'm stoked for this album.

You need to add more options with the bundle. Like maybe a T-shirt and a jumper, or two t-shirts because i really don't want 4 t-shirts.
i actually love how humor-based this song is
THIS IS SO
GOOD
SO
GOOD

For those of you that don't like this song listen closely @1:04 - 1:40 pretty much shuts all of you up lol
Like Cam know someone would bitch of band styles change so he's joke with it LOL
ironman6992 still don't like the song even after hearing that part for a second time. wHaT dO I Do
Irrelevant Patrick ummm understand that Cam is going to make his music however he wants
ironman6992 hahaha youre so lost
Any idea if they're going to have any older sounding songs on this new album?
Yes. More than the last couple albums.
Guess everyone saying that they don't like their new style just doesn't understand the english language.
Chrymoon !!!!!yep
I Love The Hell Out Of This Guys!!!
OMG!! I really love this song!! :V
So beautiful.
So fucking GENIUS
To everyone that is giving hate to them, understand that they write and compose about how they feel! They were through a lot and this is a recovery fase and now they're much better...

Austin Undeader I loved the song hotel books did with Canadian Softball, so when I realized that this was satire, I was super happy.
Austin Undeader here's the voice of an aspiring sellout**
