New pop-rock band, AbsentStar is no "gimmick"
by Rachel Douglas September 19, 2007
AbsentStar, a new pop-alternative rock band out of Chicago delivers more than a candy-coated sound for their freshman release Sea Trials. AbsentStar (Canvasback Music/ Columbia Records)Out on their first North American tour, they'll play the HiFi Concert Club in Lakewood, tomorrow, Thursday, September 20 at 8 p.m. Showcasing a sound that's more rock than pop, the band is sure to bring a refreshing sound to all those radio-music addicts burnt out on the sugar-pill pop sound. "We love melodies and lyrics," says Derek Ingersoll, lead singer of AbsentStar. "We're not that interested in gimmicks."
For God Sakes Lyrics by Absentstar
Sleep in a bed I made
Wake in another place
Cold on the warmest day
I dream it’s a big mistake
Running aground mile after mile
Shouting all the while
For god sakes hold it down
The noises overtake the silence I create
For god sakes
I’m calling out to anyone who fears
Falling on deaf ears
Far from the way I felt
Hunt for my former self
Why did I even try
And the strangest thing is remembering
How I got this way
Running aground mile after mile
Shouting all the while
For god sakes hold it down
The noises overtake the silence I create
For god sakes
I’m calling out to anyone who fears
Falling on deaf ears
And if you get it someday
What of yourself remains
Oh and for god sakes
Hold it down the noises overtake
The silence I create
For god sakes
For god sakes
For god sakes hold it down
For god sakes hold it down
