A grand group of fellows from Jackson, MS who seem to have nearly mastered the art of catchy, pop choruses that lodge themselves deep inside your subconscious leaving you wanting nothing but MORE At Cliffs End. No, their guitar may not be very technical and their bass not quite as groovy as you like and no, they don't tend to use a double -bass pedal, but they get the job done and to them, that's what matters. They are Micah Boyd (Vovals), Hayden Boyd (Drums), Wood Simmons (Bass), and Reed Bradford (Guitar).

The band has released 2 EP's, one in particular "The City" in 2007 and one full length album in 2009 named "Dirty Ain't Fancy" and you can bet these good ole southern boys know the difference between "dirty" and "fancy".

In July of 2010, At Cliffs End released a short documentary film on the band's Myspace giving an update of their ongoing tour and a few minor hints to the possibility of new music and a new band name. Soon we may know At Cliffs End as "AlldayAllnight", but only time will tell.

The City
At Cliffs End Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've lost your love again
You lost what you were saying
Breakout of yourself..
we got this city tonight!

I've got a new love
and I'm taking different strokes
This time i'm taking all the things I've wanted
Making them more than what there worth

Can you hear me now?
can you hear us screaming?
I'll be there in a second please don't leave yet
Just take all of your past regrets and lose yourself
the best you can...

Please send me a new song..
Well sing it loud
I'm taking everything I've wanted
But I'm wanting you the most
We got this city
Well take this town
You've got everyones attention
Can you hear me now?

I've got a new love take back everything you changed
You can stop at your opinions
But I don't think I can wait

What it takes to feel this way
What a chance to finish late




I'm taking this for granted now
I'll tell you everything i know
