In 2009, Ages Apart balanced beauty and aggression on their critically acclaimed debut release Can You Hear Me and brought a fresh new voice to the ACTive Rock genre. Guided by producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D, 10 Years, Pillar), Ages Apart achieved a sound both daring and familiar, at times introspective and at others furiously emotional.
The Black and White Magazine calls them "timeless," and Timothy Toutges of Ed Jones Productions in Nashville raves, "Ages Apart is a world class band that will go all the way! This is what Rock & Roll dreams are made of." But perhaps Lou Brutus of Sirius XM said it best with his understated praise, "These guys are really good. Why has no one sent this band to me before?" Even more people will be asking this question as the band dramatically expands their touring schedule and radio play to previously unreached markets throughout 2012.
After 400+ shows in over 20 states, Ages Apart learned firsthand what it means to be a professional touring band. Spending countless nights a year on the road will make or break a band's career, but Ages Apart credits their friendship and shared passion for pulling them through the toughest times. So don't count on Ages Apart slowing down until they've permanently burned their sound into popular memory. Having shared the stage with many great bands including Three Days Grace, Sick Puppies, Framing Hanley, & Pop Evil, Ages Apart has learned never to settle. At the end of the day, Rock has always been about bands pushing themselves to extremes for the sake of their fans.
2012 promises to be the most extreme year yet for Ages Apart. In addition to a demanding tour schedule, the upcoming year will find the band back in the studio, beginning work on their much anticipated sophomore album, a shocking sequel to Can You Hear Me's brutal honesty. Despite buzzing social networks and fan pages rampant with rumors, Ages Apart has stayed impressively secretive about the new release, reluctant to ruin the big surprise for their hardcore fans. But one thing is beyond doubt: the album, scheduled for release in 2013, will be well worth the wait. Ages Apart, after all, has made a career out of shattering expectations.

Letting Go
Ages Apart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reach inside, Feel the pain overcome
It's not what you think, We're only sinners in this life
It's not what you see, It's only what you believe
I'm letting go all these I've held onto too tight
I'm letting go of the way I feel about this, this life
And this reverie keeps haunting me, Haunting
Never letting go, Never letting me see
Never letting go, Come on free me, Free me
Take my anger, Take me hate
And Take my problems and my pain
The song "Ages Apart" by Ages Apart is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that explores themes of pain, sin, belief, and letting go. The first verse suggests an introspective perspective, with the singer inviting us to look at what they have done and encouraging us to feel the pain overcome. They acknowledge that they, like everyone else, are sinners in this life, and highlight the importance of belief over what we may see. The second verse reveals a desire to let go of the things that have been held onto too tightly - the past, feelings about life, and perhaps even the pain itself. They recognize that holding onto the past will not take them anywhere and that the pain continues to haunt them. The chorus urges for release and freedom from this cycle, as the singer pleas for their anger, hate, problems, and pain to be taken away.
Overall, the song seems to be about the human struggle that many face with letting go of the past and pain. The lyrics suggest that acknowledging our own sins and beliefs can lead to a sense of freedom and release. The singer acknowledges that the process of letting go is not easy, but it is ultimately necessary to move forward and find peace.
