1) American indie rock band currently signed to Polyvinyl Record Company. The four members of Aloha are scattered across the eastern half of the country, but spend most of their time making music together. Some Echoes is the second Aloha album since T.J. Lipple joined the band, and was recorded, mixed and mastered at Silver Sonya, the studio he runs with Chad Clark (Beauty Pill) in Arlington, Va.

Tony Cavallario and T.J. began playing together during a lull in Aloha's schedule in late 2002, when they both lived in Pittsburgh. T.J. joined the band in May of 2003, when Cale Parks, Tony and Matthew Gengler joined him at his grandpa's empty house in Altoona, PA. There they began writing 2004's Here Comes Everyone though at the time they didn't know it. With T.J. came a more focused approach to making music and a host of new tools including marimba, homemade mellotrons, organs and tape manipulations. T.J.'s skilled drumming also allowed Cale to move to the piano on occasion.

Aloha began with Tony and Matthew in the summer of 1997 in Bowling Green, OH, USA along with Eric Koltnow and Anthony Buehrer. Their first release, a self-titled and self-released 7" in an addition of 330 was delayed and issued sporadically when the artist hired to due the intaglio accompanying the record couldn't produce them to speed. One of the few bands to ever actually get a record deal based on a demo tape, the band spent time based out of Cleveland. In recent years, Aloha has operated from a number of bases, doing their writing, rehearsing and living in Chicago, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Cincinnati, Rochester, Pittsburgh and Altoona. Extensive touring has made Aloha renowned for their intense, non-stop live shows as well as their homemade T-shirts and self-reliant ethic. They have shared the stage the likes of Q and Not U, Ted Leo, Clinic, as well as Cex and Joan of Arc, two bands in which Cale Parks has been a member (including White Williams).

2) Female fronted heavy metal band from the 80's

Aloha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come lie now
Come alone my witness
Now clean words down to its last minute

My love, you walk over the earth
My love, where do you go?
All my plans are held by pins
I must have never came down

All four limbs are held by pain
Hold on, I will be well

My love, I trust you with my worth
My love, where do you go?
All the seasons and the reasons
I'm among those who believe
All my sins I've held within
I must have you looking in

From this ledge I'll surely fall
From this ledge I'll surely fall

My love, I held it to the light
My world, where do you go?
My love, we walk over the earth
My love, where do you go?

From this ledge I'll surely fall
From this ledge I'll surely fall

From this ledge I'll surely fall
From this ledge I'll surely fall

The singer seems to be opening up to their loved one, asking them to be a witness to their honest words. The chorus is particularly poignant, with the repetition of "My love, where do you go?" suggesting a concern about losing the other person or not being able to keep up with them as they move through life. The lines "All my plans are held by pins / I must have never came down / All four limbs are held by pain / Hold on, I will be well" evoke a feeling of being stuck, perhaps with physical or emotional pain, but still holding onto hope for healing and moving forward. The final verse of the song brings everything together, with the singer acknowledging their love's importance in their life, asking where they will go, and expressing the same trust and vulnerability as before.

Overall, the song seems to be a beautiful meditation on the complexities of love and life, with a sense of longing, vulnerability, and hope flowing through the lyrics.
