about

2020 was insane, and 2021 is still questionable. Let's face it, another apocalypse could be right around the corner.

Written, produced, and recorded by Josh Engen while quarantined in a two-bedroom apartment in Irvine, California and mixed and mastered by multiplatinum-selling engineer Micah Johnson (Missy Elliott, Demi Lovato, Florence and the Machine), Before the Next Apocalypse is an introspective indie-folk ditty that weaves in and out of a lush cinematic soundscape. Plus, it’s about robots and vampires.

So, hug your loved ones, grab a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, and listen to BEFORE THE NEXT APOCALYPSE before the world ends again.

lyrics

When the robots came
To take us away
Your bravery nearly got us both killed

But you held your guns
When I tried to run
And now there’s something left to rebuild

When the sky went black
From the martian attack
You threw your hands in the air

And I knew then
That this was the end
Just one last breath for a prayer

I’m gonna miss you

Well I lost my head
Heard breathing under my bed
You stayed awake through the night

When the vampires rose
And the oceans froze
You cracked your fists for a fight

When the monsters broke through
That’s when I knew
We just couldn’t hold out anymore

When I opened my eyes
You said “Just one more surprise”
And smiled like we’d won the war

I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss this
I try to hang on every moment
But then every moment slips

So now I’ll hold you
Until the world ends
After the atom bombs have fallen
But before the next apocalypse

After the atom bombs have fallen
But before the next apocalypse

After the atom bombs have fallen
But before the next apocalypse
