I'm not sure if this is the best forum here to post this in, but if it should be somewhere else please let me know.
Me and a friend of mine (the drummer/vocalist) started writing music
together a little under a year ago and later formed the band known as
Fringe Element. I would call us alternative progressive rock or metal,
but it's easier to say who we sound like: Tool, Chevelle, Soundgarden
and Rage Against the Machine.
We just released our first song, Three.
Listen on our website for higher quality!
Three, is now available for download on Itunes so if you like what you hear buy it and then tell all your smart friends to buy it. I
cannot tell you how much we appericiate your support. We need the money
so we can afford to record more great songs for you to listen to. But if you really want the song and don't have an Itunes account for whatever reason I can send it to you for free.
This is probably not our best song but I really do love it. That's me on guitar but this song is all about the drums.
The song was originally written about how we didn't get in to the
crappy show our high school does anually, where students' bands play.
We could tell by the judges reaction that we weren't going to get, in
but we knew of much crappier bands that were going to play, so we wrote
this song and called it three because of the time signature. The song
and it's meaning has evolved since then, but here are the lyrics:
Stare blankly
You want something
I cannot offer as a man of my type
Confused as you can be
You front in front of me
You can’t understand a man of my type
Well take what you’d like
Just take what you like
This position is spreading
And correcting the main stream
This disposition is heading for
And redirecting the main stream
A collective of same things
A collective of same things
Carelessly
You take everything
My expression could say that I liked
You’ll fare well to trust me
For the sake of this dusty old
Letter I wrote to say that I might become
Sick
Breathing this air in around me
Threatening and choking my life
But this world is ascending
Threatening to leave you behind
This position is spreading
And correcting the main stream
This disposition is heading for
And redirecting the main stream
A collective of same things
This position is spreading
Recollecting a main stream
Of fire and soul
So pride was the third thing to go
This position is spreading
Recollecting a main stream
Of fire
And soul
Recollecting a main stream
Of fire
And soul
So pride is the third thing to go
This position is spreading
And correcting the main stream
A collective of same things
A collective of same
things
Enjoy!
