More than five years in the making, the world is getting a chance to hear the music of Wolfgang Van Halen. We’ve had a chance to see him on the road previously on a number of tours alongside his father and uncle Eddie & Alex. The difference now is that we’re getting a chance to hear the original material he’s been cultivating in recent years. Keep in mind Van Halen wrote, sings, and plays all the instruments throughout the album.
Mammoth WVH is set to release a self-titled debut album on June 11. A steady stream of material has seeped out since the announcement. Six of the album’s 14 songs are now public so there’s plenty of material to wrap your head around. Back in November, the first track to be released was ‘Distance’, a tribute to father Eddie Van Halen who tragically passed the previous month.
You can pre-order the album here and follow Wolfgang Van Halen on Twitter and Instagram for updates. Enjoy the most recent release, the title track ‘Mammoth’.
Lyrics:
Wide awake
Now I’m home
Right away
How we’ve grown
Not okay
to blame yourself
and lay down and die like everybody else
Not okay
to just give up and walk away
Hey you
Anything is possible
You’re not the only one
Yeah
Let ‘em think you’re unremarkable
and prove them wrong
Your mistake
Now we’re done
Stand up and fight like everybody else
It’s okay
to get back up and start again
Hey you
Anything is possible
You’re not the only one
Yeah
Let ‘em think you’re unremarkable
and prove them wrong
You’ve found the way
A mammoth weight
right off our shoulders
When you escape
Don’t hesitate
in starting over
(Solo)
Hey you
Anything is possible
You’re not the only one
Yeah
Let ‘em think you’re unremarkable
and prove them wrong
Hey you
Anything is possible
You’re not the only one
You
Never think that it’s impossible
and prove them wrong
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
There’s so much more to live for
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know?
There’s so much more to live for
