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.

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise 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 whomever
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
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who, if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am, indeed
Alone again, naturally
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?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God 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
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
