Ex Luna - "Sympathy" Official Music Video
Artist city, country: Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.
Artist Biography: EX LUNA is the rock music pseudonym of Brooklyn singer-songwriter, JASON BUTLER.
EX LUNA's debut album, "THIS IS MY STORY ..." is a hook-laden, loose and raw rock-and-roll celebration of Butler's transformation after a three -year period of homelessness, jail and ultimate recovery after being committed to a mental health and drug rehab. As Butler explains:
"EX LUNA is the culmination of a lifetime of work -- on my songs, on my sound, and, most importantly, on myself. These are the best songs I have ever written. I am content. I'm at peace with myself and with the Universe. This happiness came after surviving the most difficult and stressful years of my life. The beautiful thing is that, in the process of losing everything, I actually found the greatest gift of all. I found myself. I am so very lucky. And so very grateful.
I'm not trying to be anyone else anymore. I'm not trying to sound like anyone else anymore. My music is from me, but it's not mine. It's like a child. A child comes through you; It's part of you -- it has to be. But the child isn't yours. The child is itself. One day, that beautiful person is just standing right there, looking at you.
We've all suffered over the last few years. Times have been tough. But things are getting better now for all of us. I can feel it. And I bet you can feel it, too. EX LUNA reflects enthusiasm and gratitude for life, for people, for all the things that we overlooked during these difficult years, but, strangely, we actually now appreciate fully for the very first time.
I recorded this album because I want people to share in the experience through this music. I want you to be a part of it -- to be part of the process. I want this album to be special for you, too. Make it your own. But most of all, I want you to be happy and to share in my gratitude and enthusiasm for life."

Song Lyrics: Well, I lived my life
As a slow and steady suicide
On a Christmas Day
Mamma told me
Son, you’re not a man
without your pride
So I painted scenes from my broken dreams Had them tattooed on my heart
Well, the pain
It was the best part
(Chorus)
Well, it’s easy to live free
When you know that you’re gonna die young And it’s so hard to believe
In anyone or anything
You can keep your sympathy Take a look at yourself Before you’re judging me
I don’t want your heart
In the end, you’ll just take it away Devil take my soul
It’s black and cold and grey
You can keep your sympathy
My idle hands might choke your throat (You can keep your sympathy)
Scars hide where I lost my hope
(You can keep your sympathy)
And I tried so hard
Just to thread myself Through the needle of society But I didn’t want them
And they sure didn’t want me
