Awolnation, formado en 2009, es un proyecto musical que surge del genio creativo de Aaron Bruno. Antes de Awolnation, Bruno había sido parte de bandas menos conocidas como 'Under the Influence of Giants' y 'Hometown Hero'. Sin embargo, sus ambiciones musicales nunca se vieron realmente cumplidas hasta que decidió emprender su propia travesía con Awolnation, cuyo nombre es un tributo sarcástico a su apodo "AWOL" durante su infancia, que se refiere a "Absent Without Leave" o "Ausente sin Permiso" en español.
Sus primeras influencias vienen de una mezcla ecléctica de géneros que abarcan el rock, indie, pop, y electrónica. Estas variadas influencias han permitido a Bruno experimentar con sonidos y técnicas, dando a Awolnation una identidad sonora única y distintiva.
El verdadero punto de inflexión para Awolnation ocurrió con el lanzamiento del sencillo "Sail" en 2011, parte de su álbum debut "Megalithic Symphony". Esta canción combinó sintetizadores oscuros con letras introspectivas y se convirtió en un éxito viral, alcanzando la escala global en ventas y reproducciones. La emotiva intensidad y el tono melancólico de "Sail" resonaron con millones, catapultando a Awolnation al estrellato.
Este álbum no solo presentó a "Sail", sino que también brindó joyas musicales como "Not Your Fault" y "Kill Your Heroes". La crítica y los fans elogiaron la versatilidad y originalidad del proyecto, estableciendo a Awolnation como uno de los actos más prometedores de la década.

[Verse 1]
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people saying
"My God that's tough, she stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"May as well go home"
As I did on my own
[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally
[Verse 2]
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play (Oh yeah)
But as if to knock me down (Knock me down)
Reality came around (Came around)
And without so much as a mеre touch
Cut me into little piеces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
[Bridge]
It seems to me, that there are more hearts broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
[Verse 3]
Looking back over the years (Looking back over the years)
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears (Hide the tears)
And at sixty-five years old (Five years old)
My mother, God rest her soul (Rest her soul)
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
[Refrain]
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally (Naturally)
