British alternative rock band:
They formed in 1995 in Suffolk, England. The original line up was the three brothers: Jason Perry (Vocals), Adam Perry (Drums) and Giles Perry (Keyboard), with two friends Mark Chapman (Guitar) and Steve Swindon (Bass). Swindon quit the band in 1997 and was replaced by Daniel P. Carter.
After changing their name from 'Grand Designs' and abandoning their early progressive-inspired sound for a more punky feel, they released their début album "How Ace Are Buildings" in 1997.
The second album; "A vs. Monkey Kong", followed in 1999. Monkey Kong was a more poppy record than How Ace Are Buildings and the band toured the world, played festivals and enjoyed a small degree of success worldwide, especially in Germany.
Hi-Fi Serious was their third album, released in 2002. It was preceded by their biggest single to date, "Nothing", which saw the band reach the UK top ten for the first time, eventually hitting number 9. Starbucks was also a top 20 hit, named after the coffee chain.
The tour following Hi-Fi Serious saw the band playing their largest venues to date, headlining the 5000 capacity Brixton Academy as part of the Inner-City Sumo Tour. 'A' finally released their fourth album on June 27th 2005, entitled "Teen Dance Ordinance". The album had been recorded 2 years earlier, but due to Jason Perry's illness and record company squabbles its release was heavily delayed, by which time the group's following appears to be a mere cult once again. In 2006, Warner dropped 'A' from their record label, citing poor sales.
'A' then went on hiatus from 2006-2008, but have now returned, playing a few shows supporting The Wildhearts. They will be writing new material and hope to release an album in 2009. With this new era for the band the lineup has changed with bassist Daniel P. Carter not returning to the band and has been replaced by John Mitchell of It Bites.
Japanese visual rock band :
consisting of Shin-ichi on vocals, Seiya on bass, U-SUKE and MORI on guitar, and Tōki on drums.
Die Tonight
A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more night, one more time.
By yourself, no one else.
One arrival time to hear you cry tonight.
Pray today, slide away.
And hide away, no one came.
Holy graves, maiden names.
And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.
Wait a while save a life.
Take yourself, you hate yourself.
Lie awake, wide awake.
Bruise yourself, lose yourself.
Pressure's on but not for long remind yourself.
And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.
Wait a while save a life.
Daylight's fading, angels waiting.
Breaking all the plans we're making
Daylight's fading, angels waiting.
Breaking all the plans we're making
And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.
Wait a while save a life.

The lyrics of A's song, "Die Tonight," capture a sense of despair and longing for connection in the face of overwhelming pressure and pain. The lines "Lose yourself, save yourself" suggest a struggle to balance the need for self-preservation with a desire to reach out for help. The repeated refrain of "And if you die, alone tonight, I'll be right by your side" underscores the importance of reaching out to others in our darkest moments, and offers a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
The verses of the song paint a picture of isolation and pain, with lines like "By yourself, no one else" and "Take yourself, you hate yourself." The sudden shift in tone to a more urgent call to action in the chorus, with the lines "Wait a while save a life," implores the listener to hold on, to find the strength to keep going, to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
