about

J.D.’s heartfelt ode on the ever eternal struggle of attempting to be yourself in a society that prefers you to be like THEM. Larry added some awesome Keith Moon-like drum furies between the J.D.’s slashing guitar hooks in the breaks, pumping up the energy considerably. “Disappear Away” was a staple of many of our 1982 shows. “Forgotten cars and fast guitars is the life that I choose…”

lyrics

It's been the same story since I was young

Somebody telling me to walk and when to run

But you can tell them today

It doesn't matter what they say

I couldn't take it another day

I had no choice but to disappear away

Romeo I am not

Diamonds and money I haven't got

But if love comes that way

I'd just as soon disappear away

Disappear away

Forgotten cars and fast guitars

Is the life that I lead

But you insist that what I do

Is a see through vision empty and blue

But I know that in my soul

The way I've come is the way to go

And if it was any other way

I'd just as soon disappear away

Disappear away

about

The Palisades Hawthorne, California

Dominating the South Bay music scene for two years (1982-1983), the Palisades were from Hawthorne CA (the same home of the legendary Beach Boys). Punk, Power pop, surf music, ska! No one sounded like the Palisades in 1982 and 1983. The music they wrote and performed was the music of being young – a celebration of youth.
