The Movielife
The Movielife is an influential Long Island band composed of vocalist Vinnie Caruana, bassist Phil Navetta, guitarist Brandon Reilly, drummer Evan Baken, and guitarist Dan Navetta. The band originally formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2003, but recently announced their official reunion in December 2014.
History
Formation
In 1997, The Movielife was formed and soon went from basement shows to supporting its debut album, It's Go Time, which was released on Fadeaway Records. In 2000, This Time Next Year was released by Revelation Records. In 2001, The Movielife signed to Drive-Thru Records, and the Has a Gambling Problem EP was released. While en route to their next show the band wrecked their van in Jamestown, North Dakota. While the accident luckily only caused minor injuries, the mental anguish and already stressed relationships between the band members began to tear. During the recording of the follow-up full length, founding member Alex Amiruddin quit to start Keep Breathing. He was replaced by Dan Navetta, Phil's younger brother. In 2003, Forty Hour Train Back to Penn was released, and The Movielife again set out on tour in support of the effort.

Hand Grenade
you dont talk to anyone
you wont look at anyone but her
and i dont think she's listening
i doubt she remembers your name
and you say, when will she notice me
and you feel, like youre gonna break
and you say, when will she notice me
and it feels, like a hand grenade
that man, i'll never understand
everyone's livin in the past
instead of forgetting her
you're always kissing her ass
i know that there's not much to say
so ill look stupid anyway
you dont talk to anyone
you wont look at anyone but her
and i dont think she's listening
but you still play that game
but i think the best way
of moving on is to attack
cause she's just a hand grenade
so pull out the pin and throw it back
i know that there's not much to say
so ill look stupid anyway
like a hand grenade, like a hand grenade
a hand grenade
