In January 2022 it was revealed that the band had gotten back together with the original She Watched the Sky line-up, minus Kyle Simmons. The current band's line up is: Jordan Blake (lead vocals), Nick Miller (guitar), Joey Wilson (guitar), Brian White (bass & backup vocals), and Cory La Quay (drums).
However, on February 16, 2022, a new song, Dead Serious, was released by former vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin under the A Skylit Drive name, thus creating two separate versions of the band. One being the original lineup, and the other led by Jag.
Michael "Jag" Jagmin filed a lawsuit against the original members of the band for infringement on the name on March 15, 2022, and on April 3, 2022 Jagmin announced two new members joining him and Jon Kintz in his ASD lineup: drummer Casey "KC" Marotta and guitarist/vocalist Louie Caycoya.
On April 23, 2022, the original lineup announced that moving forward, they would preform as "ASD" for the foreseeable future, with Jag's lineup holding the rights to the "A Skylit Drive" name.
on May 1st, 2023, original ASD vocalist Jordan Blake would pass away
The Past
A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask you, inform you
Of all the things you did not know
I'm sorry I can't be the cure for your life
You where always by my side
Life spent without rain
You will always be the heart in me
The past the love the memories
The lyrics to A Skylit Drive's song The PastThe LoveThe Memory reflect on a past relationship and the feelings that still linger despite the end of it. The singer is apologetic for not being able to fix the problems in the relationship and cannot be the "cure for your life." This line suggests that the singer cannot fix all of the issues in the other person's life and that the relationship suffered because of it. The second line of the song can be interpreted as the singer trying to inform the other person of things they didn't know before, whether that be their own feelings or perhaps certain events that occurred during the relationship.
The chorus of the song provides a sense of nostalgia as the singer reflects on their former partner. They will always be the "heart in me," suggesting that the love they once shared still exists within the singer. The final line of the chorus, "The past the love the memories," suggests that despite the relationship coming to an end, the memories and love they once shared will always be a part of their past.

Let me take this time to
Allow me the opportunity to use this moment to
Ask you, inform you
Inquire and make you aware
Of all the things you did not know
Regarding all the information you were unaware of
I'm sorry I can't be the cure for your life
Apologies for being unable to provide a solution to all your problems
You where always by my side
You consistently provided support and companionship
Life spent without rain
A period where life was lacking in positivity and growth
You will always be the heart in me
You will forever hold a crucial piece of my being
You will always be
Your impact on me will never fade
The past the love the memories
A reflection of the past, the affection, and the recollections we shared

I can't believe Jordan died today. My heart is broken.
My best friend died of an overdose last year before we could see their relaunch tour under the name "The Original A Skylit Drive." just last year. I just didn't have the heart to see them without her considering our whole teen years we chased these guys across the entire east coast to catch every show or warped tour we could to see them - even without Jordan. It felt like seeing it without her, especially considering she died not long before the show, wasn't right.
ASD was a huge part of our lives from She Watched The Sky and beyond. Losing Angie was hard enough, this hurt in a similar place.
Exactly one year later, Jordan passes. I am unsure how to feel. I didn't know him and I won't pretend to act like I ever did. But his music and the fifteen minutes I spent with him at a show before Jag took over the lead singer role was enough. All that his music did for me, for us, was enough.
I was 17 when I discovered ASD. I am 36 now. 19 years of music, of memories, gone but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Jordan.
and thank you.

No friggin way... What a world. ;-;

I may cut my hair and wear looser pants, put away my chucks and sell my guitars... But I'll never lose this spirit. This makes me feel warm when I'm completely alone, cold, and broken. They keep the thoughts I've stuffed deep down in the back of my mind from coming to the surface, at least for a little while. Fuck I cry way too much...
