1. Formed in 2012, Lively Monopoly originally consisted of three Boston-based music nerds: Julian, Dominic, and Evan. They initially assembled to perform at a local college music fest, but their unique sound and enthusiastic stage presence quickly gained them a dedicated fanbase. They attracted the attention of an indie record label executive, who signed them to a record deal, and their career took off from there.
Julian, the charismatic vocalist, Dominic, the skilled guitarist, and Evan, the rhythmic drummer, maintained a tight-knit relationship both on and off the stage. Their shared love for board games (especially Monopoly) inspired their band name. They were not just committed to creating extraordinary music, but they were also keen on infusing fun vibes and a sense of friendliness into their performances, embodying the lively spirit of their favorite board game.
2. Lively Monopoly is best known for their infectious Alternative Pop Rock sounds that blend melodic hooks with driving guitar riffs and punchy rhythms.
3. One of their most popular songs is “Roll the Dice”.
4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse1)
Waking up to the sound of rain,
I see your face, it washes away the pain.
Life’s a game, but we’re not afraid,
Just roll the dice, let’s not wait.
(Chorus)
Roll the dice, take a chance,
Let the world see our crazy dance.
Risk it all, with love as our guide,
In this lively game, let’s roll the dice.
(Verse 2)
Streets of gold, houses of dreams,
Nothing’s quite like what it seems.
Let’s land together, on free parking space,
In this crazy game, we’ll find our place.
(Chorus)
Roll the dice, take a step,
With you, there’s no regret.
Risk it all, in this ride,
In this game of life, let’s roll the dice.
(Bridge)
Chance and Community, we’re on the line,
With every roll, we redefine.
Passing go, we collect our due,
In this monopoly, it’s just me and you.
(Chorus)
Roll the dice, take a stand,
Make a move hand in hand.
Risk it all, with love as our pride,
In this lively game, we always roll the dice.
(Outro)
And when the game ends, we won’t hide,
Because in this lively monopoly, love’s always on our side.
