Attracting classically trained musicians with an obsession for excellence, coupled with inspired natural talent, their music contains broad arrangements and thick textures. Accomplice's style of contemporary progressive rock enriches listeners with an optimistic perspective on controversial issues. Combined with potent melodies and abundant hooks, they create songs that are listenable, singable and memorable. The versatility of the band is evident as they move from emotionally charged ballad to an aggressive, rock feel. Talent shines in their song writing, and equally as much in their live performances.
Accomplice's talents range from song-writing and composing to performing. The members and their backgrounds ignite creatively to produce a unique sound that is technically advanced, poetic, thought-provoking, and musically inspiring. Accomplice is: Sean Michael Clegg, guitarist and backing vocalist; Scott Snyder, bassist and backing vocalist; Richard Arbuckle, Percussionist and backing vocalist; and Michael T. Ross, keyboardist (Hardline/Angel).
With the completion of their first CD, entitled Accomplice, they have shown that they are a band of great force and depth. This year will be spent releasing the follow up "She's on Fire" with Hardline & Axel Rudi Pell frontman Johnny Goieli. This record was recorded in the Hollywood Hills and produced by Derek Sherinian (Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Billy Idol) & Simon Phillips (Toto, Whitesnake, Judas Priest). Following the release the group will discuss touring throughout Western Europe. This group is led by guitarist Sean Michael Clegg who wrote all music and lyrics for "She's on Fire".
Pull Me Under
Accomplice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day sends future to past
Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only fathers son
As sure as I ever did love him
I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel in honor and spite
All I can do is set it right
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in in the sun
Only until your will is done
The lyrics to the song "Pull Me Under" by Accomplice describe the feeling of being lost and caught between past and future. The singer seems to be struggling with his mortality and the idea of death, as he reflects on the fact that every breath he takes brings him one step closer to his last. The imagery of the sky, clouds, and seas serves to emphasize the sense of being adrift and powerless in the face of an uncertain future.
However, there is also a sense of resilience and determination in the singer's voice. He is not afraid of death and seems to suggest that he would willingly trade multiple lives for the sake of his father's legacy. The repeated refrain of "Pull me under, I'm not afraid" suggests that the singer is ready to face whatever lies ahead.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of redemption and closure. The singer acknowledges that he has lived his life "too much in the sun," perhaps suggesting that he has been too focused on material pleasures or superficial concerns. However, he seems to recognize that true fulfillment can only be found in doing what is right and living according to one's values – "All I can do is set it right."
Overall, "Pull Me Under" is a poignant meditation on the passage of time, mortality, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.

So glad Melissa survived. She wasn't a "strawberry" or some crackhead off the street. She's a human being. I'm happy that she's doing well and I wish her the best.

Me too! And if she’s manager at McDonald’s, that’s awesome - that means she’s working and providing for herself in a law-abiding job and not everybody can even be a manager at McDonald’s because ANY customer service job is not that easy!

Yeh that dude was all too excited to call her a strawberry 😂

I'm infuriated the state of Ohio denied her victim's compensation. I really hope she was paid for this appearance.
