The Young Veins, 'Maybe I Will, Maybe I Won't' -- Song Premiere
- Posted on May 28th 2010 11:00AM by Benjy Eisen
When Panic at the Disco dropped the exclamation point from their name, it was surely intended to signify a newfound maturity, or at least an evolution from the their emo-drenched beginnings -- remember, the band became famous long before its members could even legally drink. But a mere change in punctuation wasn't enough of a revision for songwriter-guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker. They wanted a new start entirely, which is what they got when they dropped out of Panic at the Disco last summer in order to launch the Young Veins.One year later, they have a new album to show for it. 'Take a Vacation!' drops on June 8. Note the return of the exclamation point. As for the name of the lead single, 'Maybe I Will, Maybe I Won't,' a comma is the only punctuation necessary as the song itself is a bit more mysterious than a direct emphatic declaration. "We wrote this song while being held captive in France," Walker tells Spinner. "It could be about a few different things, but it's probably about love."
That might explain some of the ambiguity. Musically, the song is a throwback to vintage Californian pop music -- it's a summer classic in the making. Check it out below.

I absolutely love TYV! It's sad how Panic! broke up but I am happy because I think more music should have this 60's feel, like The Beatles or The Kinks! Very well done, Young Veins :)

Panic were always a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Now The Young Veins I can embrace wholeheartedly. I bought the three singles they have on itunes and each is a gem. I am really looking forward for the album.

I like Jon Walker's songs and contrary to Christine's assertion, my enjoyment of this album is based purely on how much fun the music is because there is absolutely zero oven on offer for anyone's "little buns".

I don't get all of this fawning over the Young Veins songs we've heard thus far. Oh wait, I get it, it's called hormones. Realistically and very honestly, the songs are mediocre, and the two Walker songs we've heard are complete snooze-fests-- and no, he can't really sing lead well. The band's songs are pleasant enough, but they need to get significantly less derivative. I've heard these before, decades ago. Because I'm actually fond of these kids (I even pre-ordered the deluxe package of the album), I want them to succeed musically, and not just get praise heaped on them by those who want to be the ovens for their little buns. They can, and should, step up.

Jon singing on this record has finally got me excited about it. I was hoping he would, and I am very glad to not be disappointed.

God Dammit! Stop posting songs! I can't NOT listen to them, but I don't want to hear the whole darn CD before it even comes out! And at this point, I'm pretty sure I've heard over half of it.
:D I love this song though, and loved it live. Eeep!
