Profile Sonet 2 Band

2009-05-17T08:59:00.000-07:00

Baru saja tampil di pentas dangdut, Ridho Rhoma dan para personil Sonet Band 2, siap membintangi film layar lebar. Sambutan positif publik atas kehadiran Sonet 2 yang dimotori Ridho Rhoma, rupanya mendorong putera sang raja dangdut, Rhoma Irama untuk melakukan gebrakan baru.

Setelah sukses menggebrak pentas dangdut dengan format band, kini Ridho dan kawan-kawan siap melebarkan sayap ke dunia akting. Sebuah cerita dan skenario film yang akan mereka bintangi pun, kini sedang digodok dan siap digarap dalam waktu dekat.

“Kalau untuk detil ceritanya belum tahu. Di sini juga kita masih bicarakan akan seperti apa. kita meeting dengan tim dari sutradara film untuk bikin film layar lebar,” ujar Ridho.

Namun mengingat perjalanan karir mereka baru seumur jagung, obsesi untuk berlaga di layar lebar dinilai terlalu dini dan berani.Apalagi keenam awak Sonet 2 ini masih minim pengalaman berakting. Selain Ridho, tidak satu pun dari mereka yang pernah duduk di kelas akting.

“Kalau pribadi memang pingin main film. juga ini kesempatan baguslah buat kita. sebelumnya juga banyak penyanyi yang bikin film. jadi ya memanfaatkan kesempatan yang ada aja,” ungkap Ridho.
Walau modal pengalaman dan ilmu akting mereka masih minim, namun Ridho dan kawan-kawan tidak mau dicap sebagai aktor aji mumpung. Karena mereka melihat banyak juga actor dan artis yang terjun ke dunia akting tanpa menimba ilmu akting terlebih dahulu.

Lagipula, film yang akan mereka bintangi ini rencananya akan dikemas secara natural dan menampilkan sosok mereka apa adanya. Tapi Ridho tidak bisa menjamin apakah publik akan menyambut antusias aksi mereka di layar lebar, sama seperti saat mereka tampil di pentas dangdut.

“aku tidak bisa menjanjikan juga kualitas akting yg super. tapi pasti akan berusaha sebaik mungkinlah. kita semua akan belajar memperdalam dunia akting ini,” jelas Ridho

Angklung - Indonesian Music instrument

2009-05-17T08:11:00.000-07:00

Angklung adalah alat musik tradisional Indonesia yang berasal dar Tanah Sunda, terbuat dari bambu, yang dibunyikan dengan cara digoyangkan (bunyi disebabkan oleh benturan badan pipa bambu) sehingga menghasilkan bunyi yang bergetar dalam susunan nada 2, 3, sampai 4 nada dalam setiap ukuran, baik besar maupun kecil. Laras (nada) alat musik angklung sebagai musik tradisi Sunda kebanyakan adalah salendro dan pelog.

Asal MuasaL Angklung

Dalam rumpun kesenian yang menggunakan alat musik dari bambu dikenal jenis kesenian yang disebut angklung. Adapun jenis bambu yang biasa digunakan sebagai alat musik tersebut adalah awi wulung (bambu berwarna hitam) dan awi temen (bambu berwarna putih). Purwa rupa alat musik angklung; tiap nada (laras) dihasilkan dari bunyi tabung bambunya yang berbentuk wilahan (batangan) setiap ruas bambu dari ukuran kecil hingga besar.
Angklung merupakan alat musik yang berasal dari Jawa Barat. Angklung gubrag di Jasinga, Bogor, adalah salah satu yang masih hidup sejak lebih dari 400 tahun lampau. Kemunculannya berawal dari ritus padi. Angklung diciptakan dan dimainkan untuk memikat Dewi Sri turun ke Bumi agar tanaman padi rakyat tumbuh subur.
Dikenal oleh masyarakat sunda sejak masa kerajaan Sunda, di antaranya sebagai penggugah semangat dalam pertempuran. Fungsi angklung sebagai pemompa semangat rakyat masih terus terasa sampai pada masa penjajahan, itu sebabnya pemerintah Hindia Belanda sempat melarang masyarakat menggunakan angklung, pelarangan itu sempat membuat popularitas angklung menurun dan hanya di mainkan oleh anak- anak pada waktu itu.

Asal usul terciptanya musik bambu, seperti angklung berdasarkan pandangan hidup masyarakat Sunda yang agraris dengan sumber kehidupan dari padi (pare) sebagai makanan pokoknya. Hal ini melahirkan mitos kepercayaan terhadap Nyai Sri Pohaci sebagai lambang Dewi Padi pemberi kehidupan (hirup-hurip).

Perenungan masyarakat Sunda dahulu dalam mengolah pertanian (tatanen) terutama di sawah dan huma telah melahirkan penciptaan syair dan lagu sebagai penghormatan dan persembahan terhadap Nyai Sri Pohaci, serta upaya nyinglar (tolak bala) agar cocok tanam mereka tidak mengundang malapetaka, baik gangguan hama maupun bencana alam lainnya. Syair lagu buhun untuk menghormati Nyi Sri Pohaci tersebut misalnya:

Si Oyong-oyong
Sawahe si waru doyong
Sawahe ujuring eler
Sawahe ujuring etan
Solasi suling dami
Menyan putih pengundang dewa
Dewa-dewa widadari
Panurunan si patang puluh

Selanjutnya lagu-lagu persembahan terhadap Dewi Sri tersebut disertai dengan pengiring bunyi tabuh yang terbuat dari batang-batang bambu yang dikemas sederhana yang kemudian lahirlah struktur alat musik bambu yang kita kenal sekarang bernama angklung. Perkembangan selanjutnya dalam permainan Angklung tradisi disertai pula dengan unsur gerak dan ibing (tari) yang ritmis (ber-wirahma) dengan pola dan aturan=aturan tertentu sesuai dengan kebutuhan upacara penghormatan padi pada waktu mengarak padi ke lumbung (ngampih pare, nginebkeun), juga pada saat-saat mitembeyan, mengawali menanam padi yang di sebagian tempat di Jawa Barat disebut ngaseuk.

Demikian pula pada saat pesta panen dan seren taun dipersembahkan permainan angklung. Terutama pada penyajian Angklung yang berkaitan dengan upacara padi, kesenian ini menjadi sebuah pertunjukan yang sifatnya arak-arakan atau helaran, bahkan di sebagian tempat menjadi iring-iringan Rengkong dan Dongdang serta Jampana (usungan pangan) dan sebagainya.

Dalam perkembangannya, angklung berkembang dan menyebar ke seantero Jawa, lalu ke Kalimantan dan Sumatera. Pada 1908 tercatat sebuah misi kebudayaan dari Indonesia ke Thailand, antara lain ditandai penyerahan angklung, lalu permainan musik bambu ini pun sempat menyebar di sana.
Bahkan, sejak 1966, Udjo Ngalagena —tokoh angklung yang mengembangkan teknik permainan berdasarkan laras-laras pelog, salendro, dan madenda— mulai mengajarkan bagaimana bermain angklung kepada banyak orang dari berbagai komunitas.

Angklung KANEKES

Angklung di daerah Kanekes (kita sering menyebut mereka orang Baduy) digunakan terutama karena hubungannya dengan ritus padi, bukan semata-mata untuk hiburan orang-orang. Angklung digunakan atau dibunyikan ketika mereka menanam padi di huma (ladang). Menabuh angklung ketika menanam padi ada yang hanya dibunyikan bebas (dikurulungkeun), terutama di Kajeroan (Tangtu; Baduy Jero), dan ada yang dengan ritmis tertentu, yaitu di Kaluaran (Baduy Luar). Meski demikian, masih bisa ditampilkan di luar ritus padi tetapi tetap mempunyai aturan, misalnya hanya boleh ditabuh hingga masa ngubaran pare (mengobati padi), sekitar tiga bulan dari sejak ditanamnya padi. Setelah itu, selama enam bulan berikutnya semua kesenian tidak boleh dimainkan, dan boleh dimainkan lagi pada musim menanam padi berikutnya. Menutup angklung dilaksanakan dengan acara yang disebut musungkeun angklung, yaitu nitipkeun (menitipkan, menyimpan) angklung setelah dipakai.

Dalam sajian hiburan, Angklung biasanya diadakan saat terang bulan dan tidak hujan. Mereka memainkan angklung di buruan (halaman luas di pedesaan) sambil menyanyikan bermacam-macam lagu, antara lain: Lutung Kasarung, Yandu Bibi, Yandu Sala, Ceuk Arileu, Oray-orayan, Dengdang, Yari Gandang, Oyong-oyong Bangkong, Badan Kula, Kokoloyoran, Ayun-ayunan, Pileuleuyan, Gandrung Manggu, Rujak Gadung, Mulung Muncang, Giler, Ngaranggeong, Aceukna, Marengo, Salak Sadapur, Rangda Ngendong, Celementre, Keupat Reundang, Papacangan, dan Culadi Dengdang. Para penabuh angklung sebanyak delapan orang dan tiga penabuh bedug ukuran kecil membuat posisi berdiri sambil berjalan dalam formasi lingkaran. Sementara itu yang lainnya ada yang ngalage (menari) dengan gerakan tertentu yang telah baku tetapi sederhana. Semuanya dilakukan hanya oleh laki-laki. Hal ini berbeda dengan masyarakat Daduy Dalam, mereka dibatasi oleh adat dengan berbagai aturan pamali (pantangan; tabu), tidak boleh melakukan hal-hal kesenangan duniawi yang berlebihan. Kesenian semata-mata dilakukan untuk keperluan ritual.

Nama-nama angklung di Kanekes dari yang terbesar adalah: indung, ringkung, dongdong, gunjing, engklok, indung leutik, torolok, dan roel. Roel yang terdiri dari 2 buah angklung dipegang oleh seorang. Nama-nama bedug dari yang terpanjang adalah: bedug, talingtit, dan ketuk. Penggunaan instrumen bedug terdapat perbedaan, yaitu di kampung-kampung Kaluaran mereka memakai bedug sebanyak 3 buah. Di Kajeroan; kampung Cikeusik, hanya menggunakan bedug dan talingtit, tanpa ketuk. Di Kajeroan, kampung Cibeo, hanya menggunakan bedug, tanpa talingtit dan ketuk.

Di Kanekes yang berhak membuat angklung adalah orang Kajeroan (Tangtu; Baduy Jero). Kajeroan terdiri dari 3 kampung, yaitu Cibeo, Cikartawana, dan Cikeusik. Di ketiga kampung ini tidak semua orang bisa membuatnya, hanya yang punya keturunan dan berhak saja yang mengerjakannya di samping adanya syarat-syarat ritual. Pembuat angklung di Cikeusik yang terkenal adalah Ayah Amir (59), dan di Cikartawana Ayah Tarnah. Orang Kaluaran membeli dari orang Kajeroan di tiga kampung tersebut.

Angklung Dogdog Lojor

Kesenian dogdog lojor terdapat di masyarakat Kasepuhan Pancer Pangawinan atau kesatuan adat Banten Kidul yang tersebar di sekitar Gunung Halimun (berbatasan dengan Sukabumi, Bogor, dan Lebak). Meski kesenian ini dinamakan dogdog lojor, yaitu nama salah satu instrumen di dalamnya, tetapi di sana juga digunakan angklung karena kaitannya dengan acara ritual padi. Setahun sekali, setelah panen seluruh masyarakat mengadakan acara Serah Taun atau Seren Taun di pusat kampung adat. Pusat kampung adat sebagai tempat kediaman kokolot (sesepuh) tempatnya selalu berpindah-pindah sesuai petunjuk gaib.

Tradisi penghormatan padi pada masyarakat ini masih dilaksanakan karena mereka termasuk masyarakat yang masih memegang teguh adat lama. Secara tradisi mereka mengaku sebagai keturunan para pejabat dan prajurit keraton Pajajaran dalam baresan Pangawinan (prajurit bertombak). Masyarakat Kasepuhan ini telah menganut agama Islam dan agak terbuka akan pengaruh modernisasi, serta hal-hal hiburan kesenangan duniawi bisa dinikmatinya. Sikap ini berpengaruh pula dalam dalam hal fungsi kesenian yang sejak sekitar tahun 1970-an, dogdog lojor telah mengalami perkembangan, yaitu digunakan untuk memeriahkan khitanan anak, perkawinan, dan acara kemeriahan lainnya. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam kesenian dogdog lojor adalah 2 buah dogdog lojor dan 4 buah angklung besar. Keempat buah angklung ini mempunyai nama, yang terbesar dinamakan gonggong, kemudian panembal, kingking, dan inclok. Tiap instrumen dimainkan oleh seorang, sehingga semuanya berjumlah enam orang.

Lagu-lagu dogdog lojor di antaranya Bale Agung, Samping Hideung, Oleng-oleng Papanganten, Si Tunggul Kawung, Adulilang, dan Adu-aduan. Lagu-lagu ini berupa vokal dengan ritmis dogdog dan angklung cenderung tetap.

Angklung Gubrag

Angklung gubrag terdapat di kampung Cipining, kecamatan Cigudeg, Bogor. Angklung ini telah berusia tua dan digunakan untuk menghormati dewi padi dalam kegiatan melak pare (menanam padi), ngunjal pare (mengangkut padi), dan ngadiukeun (menempatkan) ke leuit (lumbung).
Dalam mitosnya angklung gubrag mulai ada ketika suatu masa kampung Cipining mengalami musim paceklik.

Angklung Badeng

Badeng merupakan jenis kesenian yang menekankan segi musikal dengan angklung sebagai alat musiknya yang utama. Badeng terdapat di Desa Sanding, Kecamatan Malangbong, Garut. Dulu berfungsi sebagai hiburan untuk kepentingan dakwah Islam. Tetapi diduga badeng telah digunakan masyarakat sejak lama dari masa sebelum Islam untuk acara-acara yang berhubungan dengan ritual penanaman padi. Sebagai seni untuk dakwah badeng dipercaya berkembang sejak Islam menyebar di daerah ini sekitar abad ke-16 atau 17. Pada masa itu penduduk Sanding, Arpaen dan Nursaen, belajar agama Islam ke kerajaan Demak. Setelah pulang dari Demak mereka berdakwah menyebarkan agama Islam. Salah satu sarana penyebaran Islam yang digunakannya adalah dengan kesenian badeng.

Angklung yang digunakan sebanyak sembilan buah, yaitu 2 angklung roel, 1 angklung kecer, 4 angklung indung dan angklung bapa, 2 angklung anak; 2 buah dogdog, 2 buah terbang atau gembyung, serta 1 kecrek. Teksnya menggunakan bahasa Sunda yang bercampur dengan bahasa Arab. Dalam perkembangannya sekarang digunakan pula bahasa Indonesia. Isi teks memuat nilai-nilai Islami dan nasihat-nasihat baik, serta menurut keperluan acara. Dalam pertunjukannya selain menyajikan lagu-lagu, disajikan pula atraksi kesaktian, seperti mengiris tubuh dengan senjata tajam.

Buncis

Buncis merupakan seni pertunjukan yang bersifat hiburan, di antaranya terdapat di Baros (Arjasari, Bandung). Pada mulanya buncis digunakan pada acara-acara pertanian yang berhubungan dengan padi. Tetapi pada masa sekarang buncis digunakan sebagai seni hiburan. Hal ini berhubungan dengan semakin berubahnya pandangan masyarakat yang mulai kurang mengindahkan hal-hal berbau kepercayaan lama. Tahun 1940-an dapat dianggap sebagai berakhirnya fungsi ritual buncis dalam penghormatan padi, karena sejak itu buncis berubah menjadi pertunjukan hiburan. Sejalan dengan itu tempat-tempat penyimpanan padi pun (leuit; lumbung) mulai menghilang dari rumah-rumah penduduk, diganti dengan tempat-tempat karung yang lebih praktis, dan mudah dibawa ke mana-mana. Padi pun sekarang banyak yang langsung dijual, tidak disimpan di lumbung. Dengan demikian kesenian buncis yang tadinya digunakan untuk acara-acara ngunjal (membawa padi) tidak diperlukan lagi.

Nama kesenian buncis berkaitan dengan sebuah teks lagu yang terkenal di kalangan rakyat, yaitu cis kacang buncis nyengcle..., dst. Teks tersebut terdapat dalam kesenian buncis, sehingga kesenian ini dinamakan buncis.
Instrumen yang digunakan dalam kesenian buncis adalah 2 angklung indung, 2 angklung ambrug, angklung panempas, 2 angklung pancer, 1 angklung enclok. Kemudian 3 buah dogdog, terdiri dari 1 talingtit, panembal, dan badublag. Dalam perkembangannya kemudian ditambah dengan tarompet, kecrek, dan goong. Angklung buncis berlaras salendro dengan lagu vokal bisa berlaras madenda atau degung. Lagu-lagu buncis di antaranya: Badud, Buncis, Renggong, Senggot, Jalantir, Jangjalik, Ela-ela, Mega Beureum. Sekarang lagu-lagu buncis telah menggunakan pula lagu-lagu dari gamelan, dengan penyanyi yang tadinya laki-laki pemain angklung, kini oleh wanita khusus untuk menyanyi.

Dari beberapa jenis musik mambu di Jawa Barat (Angklung) di atas, adalah beberapa contoh saja tentang seni pertunjukan angklung, yang terdiri atas: Angklung Buncis (Priangan/Bandung), Angklung Badud (Priangan Timur/Ciamis), Angklung Bungko (Indramayu), Angklung Gubrag (Bogor), Angklung Ciusul (Banten), Angklung Dog dog Lojor (Sukabumi), Angklung Badeng (Malangbong, Garut), dan Angklung Padaeng yang identik dengan Angklung Nasional dengan tangga nada diatonis, yang dikembangkan sejak tahun 1938. Angklung khas Indonesia ini berasal dari pengembangan angklung Sunda. Angklung Sunda yang bernada lima (salendro atau pelog) oleh Daeng Sutigna alias Si Etjle (1908—1984) diubah nadanya menjadi tangga nada Barat (solmisasi) sehingga dapat memainkan berbagai lagu lainnya. Hasil pengembangannya kemudian diajarkan ke siswa-siswa sekolah dan dimainkan secara orkestra besar.

about EVANESENCE band

2009-04-18T10:59:00.000-07:00

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.[1][2]

After recording two private EPs and a demo CD named Origin, with the help of Bigwig Enterprises in 2000, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards.[3] A year later, Evanescence released their first live album, Anywhere but Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide. In 2006, the band released their second studio album, The Open Door, which sold more than four million copies.

The band has suffered several line-up changes, including co-founder Moody leaving mid-tour in 2003, bassist Will Boyd in mid-2006, followed by guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray in 2007. The later two of the changes ultimately led the band to be on hiatus with only temporary replacements sought in order for the band to finish touring. There has been talk that Evanescence are working on a new album that could be released at the end of 2009.

History
Founding

Evanescence was founded by singer, pianist and songwriter Amy Lee and former lead guitarist and songwriter Ben Moody. The two met in 1994 at a youth camp in Little Rock, where Moody heard Lee playing "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meat Loaf on the piano.[4] Their first songs together were "Solitude" and "Give Unto Me", both written by Lee, and "Understanding" and "My Immortal", both written by Moody. The songs were edited by both artists, and they shared equal credit.

Two of Lee and Moody's songs found playtime on local radio stations, raising local awareness of the group and demand for a concert. The band eventually appeared live, and became one of the most popular acts in the area. After experimenting with band names, such as Childish Intentions and Stricken, they decided on Evanescence, which means "disappearance" or "fading away" (from the word evanesce, which means "to disappear"). Lee loved the name because "it is mysterious and dark, and places a picture in the listeners' mind."

Their first full-length demo CD, Origin (released in 2000), is relatively unknown. The band also released two EPs. The first is the self-titled Evanescence EP (1998), of which about 100 copies were made and distributed at the band's early live performances. The second is the Sound Asleep EP, also known as the Whisper EP (1999), which was limited to 50 copies. Origin and the EPs contain demo versions of some of the songs on their debut album, Fallen. For example, the recording of "My Immortal", found on Fallen, can also be found on Origin, minus a handful of additional string accompaniments. Only 2,500 copies of this record were produced; in response, Lee and Moody encouraged fans to download the band's older songs from the Internet.

Fallen

In early 2003, the lineup was completed by Amy Lee and Ben Moody's friends, John LeCompt, Rocky Gray and Will Boyd, all of whom worked on Evanescence's earlier songs. Meanwhile, Evanescence signed on with their first major label, Wind-up Records, and began work on their next album, Fallen. While they were looking to promote Fallen, Evanescence accepted an offer from the video game company Nintendo to perform on the "Nintendo Fusion Tour" which they headlined in 2003.[10]

Fallen spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Top 10;[11] was certified 7x Platinum in the United States;[12] and sold more than 15 million copies worldwide,[3] including 7 million in the U.S. The album was listed for 104 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, and it was one of eight albums in the history of the chart to spend at least a year on the Billboard Top 50.[13]

Evanescence's major label debut single "Bring Me to Life", which features guest vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, was a global hit for the band and reached #5 on the American Billboard Hot 100.[14] It provided Evanescence with their first UK #1 listing,[15] where it stayed for four weeks from June-July 2003. The song also became the official theme for WWE No Way Out 2003. The equally popular "My Immortal" peaked at #7 in the U.S. and UK charts,[14] and both songs were featured in the soundtrack for the action movie Daredevil. "Bring Me to Life" garnered recognition for the band at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004, where they won the Best Hard Rock Performance and Best New Artist awards and were nominated for two others.[16] The two other singles off Fallen are "Going Under" (#5 U.S. Modern Rock Tracks,[14] #8 UK Charts) and "Everybody's Fool" (#36 U.S. Modern Rock Tracks,[14] #23 UK Charts); all were promoted by a music video.

Anywhere but Home

In 2004, Evanescence's new lineup released a DVD/CD compilation entitled Anywhere but Home. The DVD includes a concert in Paris, as well as behind-the-scenes features, including shots of the band backstage signing autographs and warming up. The CD contains a previously unreleased song entitled "Missing", which was internationally released as a single and reached #1 in Spain. Also on the CD are the live songs "Breathe No More" (from the Elektra movie soundtrack), "Farther Away", and the band's cover of Korn's

The Open Door

To promote the band's third album, The Open Door, Amy Lee and John LeCompt visited cities in Europe including London, England on September 6, 2006; Barcelona, Spain on September 8, 2006; and Paris, France on Monday, September 11, 2006. At the previews, the new album was played to fans who won various competitions, Lee and LeCompt answered questions and performed acoustic versions of songs from the album before signing autographs. On October 2, 2006, the day before the album was released in the United States, Evanescence appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and performed the song "Call Me When You're Sober". The band also spent time in New York City for press and a photo shoot for Metal Edge magazine.[17]

The 13-track album was released in Canada and the United States on October 3, 2006;[11] the United Kingdom on October 2, 2006; and Australia on September 30, 2006.[18] The album sold 447,000 copies in the United States in its first week of sales and earned their first #1 ranking on the Billboard 200 album chart, becoming the 700th #1 album in Billboard since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956.[13]

The album progressed slowly for several reasons, including Amy Lee's desire to maximize the creative process and not rush production, other band members' side projects, guitarist Terry Balsamo's stroke, and the loss of their former manager.[19] Although Lee stated on the fan forum Evboard that Evanescence's new album would be completed in March 2006,[20] the release was pushed to October 3, 2006, allegedly because "Wind-up Records...wanted to make a few changes to the upcoming single "Call Me When You're Sober", which hit modern rock and alternative rock radio on August 7, 2006.[21] The music video for "Call Me When You're Sober" was shot in Los Angeles and is based on the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. The Open Door became available for pre-order on the iTunes Store on August 15, 2006; the music video for "Call Me When You're Sober" was also made available.

Lee claimed that she wrote a song for the 2005 film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but that it was rejected due to its dark sound. Lee went on to state that it was just "more great stuff for [The Open Door]"".[22] Another song supposedly written for Narnia was the Mozart-inspired "Lacrymosa".[17] The producers of Narnia, however, refuted her claim, stating this information was "news to them" and that no Evanescence music had been planned for inclusion in the soundtrack.[23]

The tour for The Open Door began on October 5, 2006 in Toronto and included locations in Canada, the U.S. and Europe during that year. This first tour continued on January 5, 2007 and included stops in Canada (alongside band Stone Sour), Japan and Australia (alongside band Shihad) and then returned to the U.S. for a second tour in the spring (alongside bands Chevelle and Finger Eleven).[24][25] As part of their tour, Evanescence performed on April 15, 2007 on the Argentinan festival Quilmes Rock 07 along with Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver and other local bands.[26] They also co-headlined on the Family Values Tour 2007 along with Korn and other bands.[27][28] The group closed their European tour with a sell-out concert at the Amphi in Ra'anana, Israel, on June 26, 2007,[29] and finished the album tour on December 9, 2007.

Lineup changes
John LeCompt, former Evanescence guitarist

On October 22, 2003, Moody left the band during the European tour for Fallen, reportedly because of creative differences.[31] In an interview several months later, Amy Lee said: "...we'd gotten to a point that if something didn't change, we wouldn't have been able to make a second record." This became a point of confusion for some people, as Moody and Lee stated on the Fallen album liner notes that they were best friends.[32] Later, Lee said it was almost a relief that he left because of tensions created within the band.[32] Moody was replaced by Terry Balsamo from Cold.[33]

A spokesperson for the band's label confirmed on July 14, 2006 that bassist Will Boyd had left the band for "not wanting to do another big tour" and wanting "to be close to his family." Amy Lee originally broke the news to the fans in a post on an unofficial Evanescence site, EvBoard.com.[34] In an interview with MTV, posted on their website on August 10, 2006, Lee announced that Tim McCord, former Revolution Smile guitarist, would switch instruments and play bass for the band.[35]

On May 4, 2007, John LeCompt announced that he had been fired from Evanescence, and also stated that drummer Rocky Gray had decided to quit.[36] On his MySpace blog, LeCompt stated that Lee called his cellphone to fire him, and that no warning had previously been given nor were any negotiations made available.[37] Gray later released a statement on his MySpace stating that he was served a gag order by label Wind-up which prevents him from discussing the reasons for his departure from the band.[38] On the band's official website, Lee wrote that the band was still alive and that no tour events had been canceled or changed.[39]

Wind-up issued a press release on May 17, 2007, stating that two Dark New Day members, drummer Will Hunt and guitarist Troy McLawhorn, would be joining the band to replace LeCompt and Gray.[40] However, Lee wrote on the EvThreads.com forum that "We're just borrowing Will and Troy for a while" and that they would not be leaving Dark New Day.[41] It was initially stated that Hunt and McLawhorn would tour with Evanescence until the end of the Family Values Tour in September 2007,[42] but both continued to play with the band through The Open Door tour

Style

Critics vary in terming Evanescence a rock or metal band, but most identify them as some form of gothic band: Publications such as the New York Times, Rough Guides, Rolling Stone, Blender and The Metal Observer have identified Evanescence as a gothic metal act,[43][44][45][46][47] while other sources such as NME, MusicMight, IGN and Popmatters have termed them gothic rock.[48][49][50][51] They have been compared to a variety of bands from differing genres, such as nu metal ensembles like P.O.D. and Linkin Park,[52][53] gothic metal groups like Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation,[54][55] and symphonic metal acts like Nightwish.[56] Cammila Albertson of Allmusic counts Evanescence as one step further from gothic metal, presenting the description of the band's music as "a pop version of an already diluted brand of metal."[57] Critic Bill Lamb of About.com tags the group succinctly as "pop-goth",[58] while David Browne of Blender offers a more elaborate description of the band's music as "goth Christian nü-metal with a twist of melancholic Enya."[59] Babbet Jahn of Metal Observer also notes the nu metal influence in their music,[47] and Adrien Begrand of Popmatters describes Evanescence as utilising "nu-metal riffage".[51] Other genres and influences used to describe the band’s sound include alternative metal,[60][49] alternative rock,[49][61] hard rock,[49] post-grunge,[62] pop,[62] and electronica.[48]

The band's relationship with heavy metal music is not without controversy. Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell contends that Evanescence is not a metal band.[63] In contrast, Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride feels that Evanescence is doing something similar to his own gothic metal group, only in a more commercial direction.[64] Gregor Mackintosh of Paradise Lost notes a generation gap between his group and Evanescence, suggesting that Paradise Lost has only influenced Evanescence indirectly through other acts like Lacuna Coil.

"Christian rock" controversy

Originally promoted in Christian stores, the band eventually made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre. Wind-up Records chairman Alan Meltzer issued a press release in April 2003 asking for the band's music to be removed from Christian retail outlets.[66]

During a 2003 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ben Moody stated, "We're actually high on the Christian charts, and I'm like, What the f--k are we even doing there?"[67] This seemed to go against earlier sentiments by Moody that "We hope to express in our music that Christianity is not a rigid list of rules to follow..." and also "The message we as a band want to convey more than anything is simple—God is Love."[68] This led to criticism of the band within the Christian community, even more so given that the band themselves approved of the plan to distribute Fallen to the Christian market.[69] Terry Hemmings, CEO of Christian music distributor Provident, expressed puzzlement at the band's about-face, saying "They clearly understood the album would be sold in these [Christian music] channels."[70] In the wake of the controversy, "Bring Me To Life" was dropped by many Christian radio stations; the song was Top 5 on Radio & Records' Christian Rock Top 30 one week, and completely gone the next. Ex-vocalist and keyboardist David Hodges eventually left the band over the controversy, with other members stating that he had been pulling them in more of a Christian direction than Lee and Moody were comfortable with.

When asked by Billboard in 2006 if Evanescence was a "Christian band," Amy Lee responded, "Can we please skip the Christian thing? I'm so over it. It's the lamest thing. I fought that from the beginning; I never wanted to be associated with it. It was a Ben thing. It's over

The Meaning of guitar

2009-04-09T11:22:00.000-07:00

The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen and eighteen string guitars also exist.

Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in jazz, blues, country, flamenco, mariachi, rock music, and many forms of pop. They can also be a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 1930s and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture.

Traditionally guitars have usually been constructed of combinations of various woods and strung with animal gut, or more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers. There are many brands of guitars, but some commonly known brands are PRS, Gibson, Dean, Gretsch, Ibanez, Martin, Jackson, Schecter, and Fender.

HISTORY

Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as being an instrument having "a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides".[1] Instruments similar to the guitar have been popular for at least 4,000 years. While today's classical guitar first appeared in Spain, it was itself a product of the long and complex history that saw a number of related guitar types developed and used across Europe.[2] The roots of the guitar can be traced back thousands of years to an Indo-European origin in instruments, then known in central Asia and India. For this reason the guitar itself is distantly related to instruments such as the tanbur and setar, and the Indian sitar. The oldest known iconographic representation of an instrument displaying all the essential features of a guitar being played is a 3,300 year old stone carving of a Hittite bard.[3] The modern word, guitar, was adopted into English from Spanish guitarra (German Gitarre, French Guitare),[4] loaned from the medieval Andalusian Arabic qitara[5], itself derived from the Latin cithara, which in turn came from the earlier Greek word kithara,[6] which is descended from the Old Persian word sihtar.[7]
Illustration from a Carolingian Psalter from the 9th century, showing a guitar-like plucked instrument.

The modern guitar is descended from the Roman cithara brought by the Romans to Hispania around 40 AD, and further adapted and developed with the arrival of the four-string oud, brought by the Moors after their conquest of the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century.[8] Elsewhere in Europe, the indigenous six-string Scandinavian lut (lute), had gained in popularity in areas of Viking incursions across the continent. Often depicted in carvings c. 800 AD, the Norse hero Gunther (also known as Gunnar), played a lute with his toes as he lay dying in a snake-pit, in the legend of Siegfried.[9] By 1200 AD, the four string "guitar" had evolved into two types: the guitarra morisca (Moorish guitar) which had a rounded back, wide fingerboard and several soundholes, and the guitarra latina (Latin guitar) which resembled the modern guitar with one soundhole and a narrower neck.[10]

The Spanish vihuela or "viola da mano", a guitar-like instrument of the 15th and 16th centuries is, due to its similarities, is often considered an important influence in the development of the modern guitar. It had lute-style tuning and a guitar-like body. Its construction had as much in common with the modern guitar as with its contemporary four-course renaissance guitar. The vihuela enjoyed only a short period of popularity; the last surviving publication of music for the instrument appeared in 1576. It is not clear whether it represented a transitional form or was simply a design that combined features of the Arabic oud and the European lute. In favor of the latter view, the reshaping of the vihuela into a guitar-like form can be seen as a strategy of differentiating the European lute visually from the Moorish oud. Meanwhile, the five string renassance guitar and the baroque guitar enjoyed popularity, especially in Italy and France, and indeed, much of Europe from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

The Vinaccia family of luthiers is known for developing the mandolin, and may have built the oldest surviving six string guitar. Gaetano Vinaccia (1759 – after 1831)[11] has his signature on the label of a guitar built in Naples, Italy for six strings with the date of 1779.[12][13] This guitar has been examined and does not show tell-tale signs of modifications from a double-course guitar although fakes are known to exist of guitars and identifying labels from that period.

The dimensions of the modern classical guitar (also known as the Spanish guitar) were established by Antonio Torres Jurado (1817-1892), working in Seville in the 1850s. Torres and Louis Panormo of London (active 1820s-1840s) were both responsible for demonstrating the superiority of fan strutting over transverse table bracing.[14]

Types Of guitar

Acoustic guitars

An acoustic guitar is one not dependent on an external device to be heard but uses a soundboard which is a wooden piece mounted on the front of the guitar's body. The acoustic guitar is quieter than other instruments commonly found in bands and orchestras so when playing within such groups it is often externally amplified. Many acoustic guitars available today feature a variety of pickups which enable the player to amplify and modify the raw guitar sound.

There are several notable subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars; steel string guitars, which include the flat top or "folk" guitar; twelve string guitars and the arch top guitar. The acoustic guitar group also includes unamplified guitars designed to play in different registers such as the acoustic bass guitar which has a similar tuning to that of the electric bass guitar.

Renaissance and Baroque guitars
These are the gracile ancestors of the modern classical guitar. They are substantially smaller and more delicate than the classical guitar, and generate a much quieter sound. The strings are paired in courses as in a modern 12 string guitar, but they only have four or five courses of strings rather than six. They were more often used as rhythm instruments in ensembles than as solo instruments, and can often be seen in that role in early music performances. (Gaspar Sanz' Instrucción de Música sobre la Guitarra Española of 1674 constitutes the majority of the surviving solo corpus for the era.) Renaissance and Baroque guitars are easily distinguished because the Renaissance guitar is very plain and the Baroque guitar is very ornate, with ivory or wood inlays all over the neck and body, and a paper-cutout inverted "wedding cake" inside the hole.

Classical guitars
These are typically strung with nylon strings, played in a seated position and are used to play a diversity of musical styles including classical music. The classical guitar's wide, flat neck allows the musician to play scales, arpeggios and certain chord forms more easily and with less adjacent string interference than on other styles of guitar. Flamenco guitars are very similar in construction, but are associated with a more percussive tone. In Mexico, the popular mariachi band includes a range of guitars, from the tiny requinto to the guitarron, a guitar larger than a cello, which is tuned in the bass register. In Colombia, the traditional quartet includes a range of instruments too, from the small bandola (sometimes known as the Deleuze-Guattari, for use when traveling or in confined rooms or spaces), to the slightly larger tiple, to the full sized classical guitar. The requinto also appears in other Latin-American countries as a complementary member of the guitar family, with its smaller size and scale, permitting more projection for the playing of single-lined melodies. Modern dimensions of the classical instrument were established by Antonio Torres Jurado (1817-1892). Classical guitars are sometimes referred to as classic guitars. In recent years, the series of guitars used by the Niibori Guitar orchestra have gained some currency, namely:

* Sopranino guitar (an octave and a fifth higher than normal); sometimes known as the piccolo guitar
* Soprano guitar (an octave higher than normal)
* Alto guitar (a 5th higher than normal)
* Prime (ordinary classical) guitar
* Niibori bass guitar (a 4th lower than normal); Niibori simply calls this the "bass guitar", but this assigns a different meaning to the term than other parts of the community use, as his is only a 4th lower, and has 6 strings
* Contrabass guitar (an octave lower than normal)

The modern Ten-string guitar

The Modern/Yepes 10-string guitar (a classical guitar) adds four strings (resonators) tuned in such a way that they (along with the other three bass strings) can resonate in unison with any of the 12 chromatic notes that can occur on the higher strings; the idea behind this being an attempt at enhancing and balancing sonority.

Portuguese guitar

In spite of the name, it is not a guitar, but rather a cittern.

Flat-top (steel-string) guitars
Similar to the classical guitar, however, within the varied sizes of the steel-stringed guitar the body size is usually significantly larger than a classical guitar and it has a narrower, reinforced neck and stronger structural design. This allows the instrument to withstand the additional tension of steel strings. The steel strings produce a brighter tone, and according to many players, a louder sound. The acoustic guitar is used in many kinds of music including folk, country, bluegrass, pop, jazz and blues.

Archtop guitars
These are steel string instruments in which the top (and often the back) of the instrument are carved in a curved rather than a flat shape. Lloyd Loar of the Gibson Guitar Corporation introduced the violin-inspired f-hole design now usually associated with archtop guitars, after designing a style of mandolin of the same type. The typical archtop is a deep, hollow body guitar whose form is much like that of a mandolin or violin family instrument. Nowadays, most archtops are equipped with magnetic pickups and are therefore both acoustic and electric. F-hole archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually with flatwound strings.

Resonator, resophonic or Dobro guitars
Similar to the flat top guitar in appearance, the sound of the resonator guitar is produced by a metal resonator mounted in the middle of the top. The physical principle of the guitar is therefore similar to the banjo. The original purpose of the resonator was to amplify the sound of the guitar. This purpose has been largely superseded by electrical amplification, but the resonator guitar is still played because of its distinctive sound. Resonator guitars may have either one resonator cone or three resonator cones. Three-cone resonators have two cones on the left above one another and one cone immediately to the right. The method of transmitting sound resonance to the cone is either a "biscuit" bridge, made of a small piece of hardwood, or a "spider" bridge, made of metal and larger in size. Three-cone resonators always use a specialized metal spider bridge. The type of resonator guitar with a neck with a square cross-section – called "square neck" – is usually played face up, on the lap of the seated player, and often with a metal or glass slide. The round neck resonator guitars are normally played in the same fashion as other guitars, although slides are also often used, especially in blues.

12 string guitars
The twelve string guitar usually has steel strings and is widely used in folk music, blues and rock and roll. Rather than having only six strings, the 12-string guitar has six courses made up of two strings each, like a mandolin or lute. The highest two courses are tuned in unison, while the others are tuned in octaves. The 12-string guitar is also made in electric forms.

Russian guitars
These are seven string acoustic guitars which were the norm for Russian guitarists throughout the 19th and well into the 20th centuries. The guitar is traditionally tuned to an open G major tuning.

Acoustic bass guitars
Have steel strings or gut strings and often the same tuning as an electric bass guitar.

Tenor guitars
A number of classical guitarists call the Niibori prime guitar a "Tenor Guitar" on the grounds that it sits in pitch between the alto and the bass. Elsewhere[citation needed]the name is taken for a 4-string guitar with a scale length of 23" (585 mm) – about the same as a Terz Guitar. The tenor guitar is tuned in fifths, C G D A, as is the tenor banjo and the cello. It is generally accepted[citation needed] that the tenor guitar was created to allow a tenor banjo player to follow the fashion as it evolved from Dixieland Jazz towards the more progressive Jazz that featured guitar. It allows a tenor banjo player to provide a guitar-based rhythm section with little to learn. A small minority of players (such as Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio) close tuned the instrument to D G B E to produce a deep instrument that could be played with the 4-note chord shapes found on the top 4 strings of the guitar or ukulele. The deep pitch warrants the wide-spaced chords that the banjo tuning permits, and the close tuned tenor does not have the same full, clear sound.

Harp guitars
Harp Guitars are difficult to classify as there are many variations within this type of guitar. They are typically rare and uncommon in the popular music scene. Most consist of a regular guitar, plus additional 'harp' strings strung above the six normal strings. The instrument is usually acoustic and the harp strings are usually tuned to lower notes than the guitar strings, for an added bass range. Normally there is neither fingerboard nor frets behind the harp strings. Some harp guitars also feature much higher pitch strings strung below the traditional guitar strings. The number of harp strings varies greatly, depending on the type of guitar and also the player's personal preference (as they have often been made to the player's specification).[15] The Pikasso guitar; 4 necks, 2 sound holes, 42 strings] and also the Oracle Harp Sympitar; 24 strings (with 12 sympathetic strings protruding through the neck) are modern examples.

Extended-range guitars
For well over a century guitars featuring seven, eight, nine, ten or more strings have been used by a minority of guitarists as a means of increasing the range of pitch available to the player. Usually, it is bass strings that are added. Classical guitars with an extended range are useful for playing lute repertoire, some of which was written for lutes with more than six courses.

Guitar battente
The battente is smaller than a classical guitar, usually played with four or five metal strings. It is mainly used in Calabria (a region in southern Italy) to accompany the voice.

Electric guitars

Electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies, and produce little sound without amplification. Electromagnetic pickups convert the vibration of the steel strings into electrical signals, which are fed to an amplifier through a cable or radio transmitter. The sound is frequently modified by other electronic devices or the natural distortion of valves (vacuum tubes) in the amplifier. There are two main types of pickup, single and double coil (or humbucker), each of which can be passive or active. The electric guitar is used extensively in jazz, blues, and rock and roll, and was commercialized by Gibson in collaboration with Les Paul, and independently by Leo Fender of Fender Music. The lower fretboard action (the height of the strings from the fingerboard), lighter (thinner) strings, and its electrical amplification lend the electric guitar to some techniques which are less frequently used on acoustic guitars. These include tapping, extensive use of legato through pull-offs and hammer-ons (also known as slurs), pinch harmonics, volume swells, and use of a tremolo arm or effects pedals.

Seven-strings were popularized in the 1980s and 1990s in part due to the release of the Ibanez Universe guitar, endorsed by Steve Vai. Other artists go a step further, by using an 8 string guitar with two extra low strings. Although the most common 7-string has a low B string, Roger McGuinn (of The Byrds and Rickenbacker) uses an octave G string paired with the regular G string as on a 12 string guitar, allowing him to incorporate chiming 12 string elements in standard 6 string playing. in 1982 Uli Jon Roth developed the "Sky Guitar", with a vastly extended amount of frets, which was the first guitar to venture into the upper registers of the violin. Roth's 7-string "Mighty Wing" guitar features an altogether 6-octave range.

The electric bass guitar is similar in tuning to the traditional double bass viol. Hybrids of acoustic and electric guitars are also common. There are also more exotic varieties, such as guitars with two, three,[16] or rarely four necks, all manner of alternate string arrangements, fretless fingerboards (used almost exclusively on bass guitars, meant to emulate the sound of a stand-up bass), 5.1 surround guitar, and such.

Some electric guitar and electric bass guitar models feature Piezoelectric pickups, which function as transducers to provide a sound closer to that of an acoustic guitar with the flip of a switch or knob, rather than switching guitars.

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
A little bird who'll sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
What you and I spoke of
Others only dream of the love that I love

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Now you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of

and it's okay if you have go away
just remember the telephone works both ways
and if I never ever hear it ring
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside
have finally found you someone else and that's okay
cause I'll remember everything you sang

you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of words.

And this is more than love
The reason that the sky is blue
The clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
And to him I just can't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

As I'm doing my hair
Preparing for another date
A kiss upon my cheek
As he reluctantly
Asks if I'm gonna be out late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell
Because we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very well

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore (anymore)

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
And everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
And I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer (a murderer)

No no no no

Yeah yeah yeah

Want To KNOW about EMO??

2008-12-24T01:03:00.000-08:00

EMO

Emo ((pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/)) is a genre of music that originated from hardcore punk ^[1] and later adopted pop punk influences when it became mainstream in the

United States

It has since come to describe several variations of music with common roots and associated fashion and stereotypes.

In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which stemmed from the Washington, D.C. music scene. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the emotional performances of bands in the Washington, D.C. scene and some of the offshoot regional scenes such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon

In the mid-1990s, the term emo began to refer to the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate, Far and Texas Is the Reason had a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the late 1990s, when many of the bands either disbanded or shifted to mainstream styles. As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the mainstream style.

Today popular bands like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, and Paramore are described as emo.

History

First wave (1985–1994)

In 1985 in Washington, D.C., Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, veterans of the DC hardcore music scene, took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation, bringing forth MacKaye's Embrace and Picciotto's Rites of Spring. The style of music developed by Embrace and Rites of Spring soon became its own sound. As a result of the renewed spirit of experimentation and musical innovation that developed the new scene, the summer of 1985 soon came to be known in the scene as "Revolution Summer".

Where the term emo actually originated is uncertain, but members of Rites of Spring mentioned in a 1985 interview in Flipside Magazine that some of their fans had started using the term to describe their music.

Within a short time, the D.C. emo sound began to influence other bands such as Moss Icon, Nation of Ulysses, Dag Nasty, Soulside, Shudder to Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man, Foundation and Gray Matter, many of which were released on MacKaye's Dischord Records.

At the same time, in the New York/New Jersey area, bands such as Native Nod, Policy of 3, Rye Coalition, and Quicksand were feeling the same impulse. Many of these bands were involved with the ABC No Rio club scene in New York, itself a response to the violence and stagnation in the scene and with the bands that played at CBGBs, the only other small venue for hardcore in New York at the time.

Following the disbanding of Embrace in 1986, MacKaye established the influential group Fugazi, and was soon joined by Picciotto. While Fugazi itself is not typically categorized as emo, the band's music is cited as an influence by popular second-wave bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Far, Braid, and Jimmy Eat World.

Second wave (1994–2000)

As Fugazi and the Dischord Records scene became increasingly popular in the indie underground of the early 1990s, new bands began to spring up.

Diary was released by Sunny Day Real Estate in 1994. The band performed on TV shows, including The Jon Stewart Show.

Inspired by Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World released the album Static Prevails in 1996 on Capitol Records.

A Cornerstone of the late-Nineties emo movement was Weezer's 1996 album Pinkerton, which was to be considered one of the defining emo records of the 90s and was said to have introduced emo to a larger and more mainstream audience.

In 1997, Deep Elm Records released the first installment in a series of compilations called Emo Diaries, featuring tracks from Jimmy Eat World, Samiam, and Jejune.

Mainstream emo (2000–present)

While Jimmy Eat World had played emocore-style music early in their career, by the time of the release of their 2001 album Bleed American, the band had downplayed its emo influences, releasing more pop-oriented singles such as "The Middle" and "Sweetness". Newer bands that sounded like Jimmy Eat World (and, in some cases, like the more melodic emo bands of the late 90s) were soon included in the genre.

2003 saw the success of Chris Carrabba, the former singer of emo band Further Seems Forever, and his project Dashboard Confessional. Carraba found himself part of the emerging "popular" emo scene. Carrabba's music featured lyrics founded in deep diary-like outpourings of emotion. While certainly emotional, the new "emo" had a far greater appeal amongst adolescents than its earlier incarnations.

At the same time, use of the term "emo" expanded beyond the musical genre, which added to the confusion surrounding the term. The word "emo" became associated with open displays of strong emotion. Common fashion styles and attitudes that were becoming idiomatic of fans of similar "emo" bands also began to be referred to as "emo." As a result, bands that were loosely associated with "emo" trends or simply demonstrated emotion began to be referred to as emo.

In a strange twist, screamo, a more aggressive sub-genre of emo that began in the early 90s, also had a reformulation of sound and has found greater popularity in recent years through bands such as Glassjaw.

The difficulty in defining "emo" as a genre may have started at the very beginning. In a 2003 interview by Mark Prindle, Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Rites of Spring was asked how he felt about "being the creator of the emo genre." He responded:

I don't recognize that attribution. I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that—what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What—they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Fashion and stereotype

Long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side

Today emo is commonly tied to both fashion and music, and the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes short sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.

Another example of hair characteristic of emo

In recent years the popular media has associated emo with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide.

Backlash

Warped Tour founder, Kevin Lyman stated that he believes there is an emo backlash saying that he sees 'i hate emo' tshirts and that there was hostility among bands on the tour towards emo groups.

In 2008, Time Magazine reported that "anti-emo" groups attacked teenagers in Mexico City, Querétaro, and Tijuana. One of Mexico's foremost critics of emo was Kristoff, a music presenter on the popular TV channel Telehit.

Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance stated in an interview that "emo is a pile of shit", and that his band was never emo Panic at the Disco also stated in an interview with NME: "emo is bullshit." These two bands, however, tend to be classified as emo.

Fans of emo are criticizedfor purported displays of emotion common in the scene. Complaints claimed that emotions were expressed in an histrionic manner.^[34]

Justin Jacobs has criticised emo music of the early 2000s, arguing it became boring and generic.

Emo music has been blamed for the suicide by hanging of Hannah Bond by both the coroner at the inquest into her death and her mother, Heather Bond, after it was claimed that emo music glamorized suicide and her apparent obsession with My Chemical Romance was said to be linked to her suicide. The inquest heard that she was part of an internet "emo" cult and her Bebo page contained an image of an 'emo girl' with bloody wrists. It also heard that she had discussed the "glamour" of hanging online and had explained to her parents that her self harming was an "emo initiation ceremony". Heather Bond criticised emo fashion, saying: "There are 'emo' websites that show pink teddies hanging themselves." After the verdict was reported in NME, fans of emo music contacted the magazine to defend against accusations that it promotes self harm and suicide.

In Russia, a law has been presented at the Duma to regulate emo websites and forbid emo style at schools and government buildings, for fears of emo being a "dangerous teen trend" promoting anti-social behaviour, depression, social withdrawal and even suicide

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]
It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

sometimes some people get me wrong
when it's something I've said or done
sometimes you feel there is no fun
that's why you turn and run
but now I truly realise
some people don't wanna compromise
well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

Well I'm so tired baby
things you say you're driving me away
whispers in the powder room baby
don't listen to the games they play
girl I thought you'd realise
I'm not like them other guys
coz I saw them with my own eyes
you should've been more wise
and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights
not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day

Bury your head,
Bury your head,

I was feeling fine,
You'll be coming clean tonight,
And I'll be falling down with you once again,
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight,
And I will then say it's okay,

The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It's the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

Bury your head, has the child smashed you down,
And the psalms will never call me again,
(Fall down below),
I'll sleep tonight
(When you're okay),
And I will then say it's okay,

The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them
The things you've said, I'm rehearsing them

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It's the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

They will be the ones who see her come
This is what you call love

They stole my lies,
You've read it all,
They wandered around and 'round my mouth,
They stole my lies,
You've read it all,
Stole it all,
They have been the ones who've seen enough

They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It's the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.

You'll be coming clean tonight...

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Who is THE USED??

2008-12-03T09:20:00.000-08:00

The Used is an American rock band from Orem, Utah. Their sound has been classified under many sub-genres of rock. They signed with Reprise Records in late 2001 and rose to fame in June 2002 after releasing their debut self-titled album, The Used. They followed up with their second album, In Love and Death, in September 2004 and their third album, Lies for the Liars, in May 2007. An EP, Shallow Believer, was released in February 2008 that featured most of the band's B-sides to date. They have spent all of 2008 working on their fourth studio album, and is due out in early 2009. The band has achieved both Gold and Platinum statuses in over 6 countries worldwide.

History

2001: Formation and Demos from the Basement

Cover of The Used's demo, referred to as Demos from the Basement. Many of the songs made it onto their self-titled debut in a more produced version.

The Used officially formed in January 2001^[6], but members had played in many previous bands since the early 1990s, which helped lead to the formation of The Used. Founding member Branden Steineckert along with Quinn Allman and Jeph Howard were trying to start a new band and needed a singer. They had a bunch of music for songs but no lyrics or vocals to go along with it. Tryouts for singers were held in Branden's bedroom^[7], but they weren't satisfied with anyone they heard, and described the tryouts as being terrible. Quinn then remembered Bert McCracken from school and other local bands they played in and called him to see if he was interested in trying out. Bert heard they were looking for a singer and was going to give them a call, but he received a call from Quinn the night before he planned to call them. He met up with the other members and liked the music they wrote. After being given music that the band had written, Bert wrote the lyrics to what would become "Maybe Memories" and returned the next day to record a demo version of the song. The band welcomed him immediately and from there on out, Bert took over the vocals. Throughout all of this, the band members suffered from poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse. They panhandled for change in order to buy food to stay alive while at the same time hating the Mormon town that they lived in and the people that lived there.^[8] The band's name was born when their friends claimed they felt "used" when contact was lost between them and band members due to them becoming more involved in the band.^[9]^[10]

Used continued to write songs together and recorded a demo album in Branden's bedroom that fans titled Demos from the Basement. Drummer Branden Steineckert sent their songs to producer John Feldmann from the pop punk group Goldfinger. After he heard "A Box Full of Sharp Objects", he wanted to get them signed because he believed this band had something no other band had and could change what's happening in the music world. John flew the band to LA taking them out of their home state for the first time in their lives and played the songs for various record executives to try to get them signed, however, the first few weren't interested and it left John discouraged because he felt this band was like no other. Eventually, more people got hold of the demo and a few record companies were eager to sign them. They decided to sign with Reprise Records in late 2001.

2002-2003: The Used and Maybe Memories

In 2002, it was discovered that a Boston band had already trademarked the name "Used," so they decided to add "The" to their name, thus becoming The Used. Their self-titled debut album was released on June 25, 2002. The album received mixed reviews and featured four singles: "A Box Full of Sharp Objects", "The Taste of Ink", "Buried Myself Alive", and "Blue and Yellow", with the latter three entering the charts. The album has been certified gold.^[11] The Used would go on to play Warped Tour, Ozzfest, and Projekt Revolution, as well as Box Car Racer's first and only tour. During these tours, they had a 5th member, a touring guitarist by the name of Greg Bester. He was forced to return to his home country when he couldn't get a working Visa. The band received much recognition when Bert McCracken dated Kelly Osbourne.^[12] These events brought the band much fanfare and popularity. In July 2003, The Used released a compilation CD/DVD combo package titled Maybe Memories. The CD featured live, rare, previously unreleased tracks, and demo material. The DVD featured the history of the band, member bios, and part of a live concert. This release has been certified platinum.^[11]

2004-2006: In Love and Death and a new drummer

Tragedy struck The Used in 2004 when lead singer Bert McCracken's ex-girlfriend, who was pregnant with his child, died of a drug overdose.^[13] Their second studio album was thus named In Love and Death, released as a reference to the tragedy Bert dealt with during the recording. The song "Hard to Say" was a reference to Bert's ex-girlfriend; although he wrote the song years earlier, it fit the moment and Bert felt that it was the right time to release it. The album received generally favorable reviews^[14] and spawned three singles: "Take It Away", "All That I've Got" (which earned them their first MuchMusic Video Award nomination), and "I Caught Fire", before being re-released in 2005. "Under Pressure" (a David Bowie and Queen cover song performed with My Chemical Romance) was featured as a bonus track on the re-release. The album has been certified gold.^[11] After finishing up an international tour for the album, The Used took about 7 months off before starting to work on their next album. Throughout the summer of 2006, rumors spread among fans that Branden was no longer in the band. Then on September 12, 2006, The Used announced and confirmed that Branden was no longer a member of the band.^[15] They said they felt they needed to move forward without him, and that there was a personality conflict between Branden and another band member; however, they did say that they love Branden and wish him the best in whatever he does in the future.^[15] In late 2006, it was announced drummer Dan Whitesides of New Transit Direction would replace Steineckert. Branden has since joined Rancid to replace former drummer Brett Reed.

2007: Berth and Lies for the Liars

On February 6, 2007, The Used released a live CD/DVD package, Berth, which included a full live concert shot on the 2005 Taste of Chaos tour in Vancouver. It continued where Maybe Memories left off and showed what the band had been up to since they released In Love and Death. It also gave a preview of Lies for the Liars. Berth has been certified gold^[11]. The Used spent most of the early part of 2007 on the Taste of Chaos tour, before their third album, Lies for the Liars was released May 22, 2007. They also headlined the Give it a Name festival. In June, The Used played the MuchMusic Video Awards for the first time ever, and also received their second nomination for Best International Group Video, for "The Bird and the Worm". The Used were scheduled to play Warped Tour in June and July, in support of their album, but had to cancel because Bert required surgery to remove a node from his vocal cords^[16]. After Bert recovered, they played the Reading and Leeds festivals in August, and went on to tour the United States in September. Lies for the Liars charted in the top 5 in over seven countries,^[5] and there were 4 singles released: "The Bird and the Worm", "Liar Liar (Burn in Hell)", "Pretty Handsome Awkward", and "Paralyzed". Although Dan Whitesides was chosen as the new drummer, Dean Butterworth of Good Charlotte recorded drums for the album. The recording session for this album was the longest of any The Used album, as it took them over six months to record. Lies for the Liars received mixed reviews^[17] and has 8 B-sides. The Used had considered making a double album since 19 songs were recorded, but this idea was dropped after they decided to save the songs for a future release.

2008-2009: Shallow Believer, Chadam movie, fourth studio album, new DVD

Before Lies for the Liars was even released, The Used had planned on releasing an EP of the album's B-sides not long after it dropped. However, it was delayed due to problems with their label, and for a time it didn't appear that it would be released at all. Finally on February 19, 2008 the EP was released, titled Shallow Believer, which featured B-sides from all their studio albums. It was only released on digital music stores and it has charted #13 on iTunes' top 100 albums.^[5] The Used worked on their fourth studio album throughout all of 2008. In total, the band recorded about 18 songs but have not yet announced how many will make the album. ^[18] They took many breaks while working the album to be the headlining band on the inaugural "Get a Life Tour" and to play shows Jakarta, Indonesia; Seoul, South Korea; and the 'Save the Air Festival' in California. The album was produced by Panic at the Disco's producer Matt Squire,^[19] making this their first studio album not produced by John Feldmann. They decided to go with a different producer because they want the album to be very different from everything else that they've done in the past.^[20] It is also the first studio album by The Used to feature Dan Whitesides as the drummer since he joined the band in 2006. In AP magazine, Bert stated "In the past, we've always kind of brought pop sensibility into heavy rock, but this is going to be all that much more tantalizing and brutal. Our songs are 10 times messier and noisier than they've ever been.",^[21] it also revealed information about the concept of the album: "This record is about coming to grips with how much you really hate yourself and knowing you can never hate yourself to the full extent, so you're free to hate yourself as much as you want to".^[21] Bert goes on to say, "we haven't been this excited about an album since our self titled back in 2002." The album will be released in early 2009^[21] along with a DVD release not long after.^[22] The Chadam movie will also be released online around December. ^[23]

Buried myself alive
(Click Here to Download)

you almost always pick the best times
to drop the worst lines
you almost made me cry again this time
another false alarm
red flashing lights
well this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside
so I could shut you out
and let you go away for a long time

I guess it's ok I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask

I think the chain broke away
and I felt it the day that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine
but it was worth the night
I caught an early flight and I made it home

I guess it's ok I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer than that

with my foot on your neck
I finally have you
right where I want you
right where I want you
right where I want you
right where I want you

I guess it's ok I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer than that
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer
nicer

Take a Bow
(Click HERE to Download)

Oh, How about a round of applause, Yeah
A standing ovation
Oh, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out

[Chorus:]
Don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talking' bout'
Girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (on)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh, And the award for
The best liar goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, Oh

How about a round of applause
A standing ovation

But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now

The times has come That we must be apart The memory is still in my mind But you have gone And you leave me alone

It’s only a dream
A dream that never comes
I only wait
Till trus love will come

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

I'M YOURS

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch closer dear
and i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what i be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is your's!

I have been patiently waiting in line
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it going to be my turn?

I'm sick and tired of paying my dues
Played the game 'til the end, and I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
Still nobody can answer me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

'Cause yesterday, I've burned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn? (x6)

Whoa... When's it going to be my turn? (x2)

Yesterday, I've learned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

'Cause yesterday, I've burned from
Tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn? (2x)

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good, I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me, for me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I feel so good

Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

MY VALENTINE (click here to download)

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you

If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams i couldnt love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine

La da da
Da da da da

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
Cuz all i need
Is you, my valentine

You're all i need
My love, my valentine

Finch - What is to Burn

What It Is To Burn (click here to download)

She burns

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still:

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

From Yesterday (click here to download)

He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can look, see the life that he took
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message
Doesn't want to read the message here

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message here

Blue and Yellow (click here to download)

and it's all in how you mix the two
and it starts just where the light exists
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
and it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

well you're never gonna find it
if you're looking for it
won't come your way
well you'll never find it
if you're looking for it

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

and you never would have thought in the end
how amazing it feels just to live again
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

well you're never gonna find it
if you're looking for it
won't come your way
well you'll never find it
if you're looking for it

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

should've said something but I've said it enough
by the way my words were faded
rather waste some time with you

waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste my time with you

should've said something but I've said it enough
by the way my words were faded
rather waste my time with you

should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way my hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you
waste some time with you

[whispering:]
should've done something but I've done it enough
by the way your hands were shaking
rather waste some time with you

A Beautiful Lie (click Here to downloadMP3)

BE A VEGAN GUYS, SAVE OUR PLANET NOW!!

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game

[Chorus:]
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game

[Chorus]

(Oh Oh
The end of the world)

Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game

(So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful...)
