They released two demos in 1997 called "Banfi's Law" and "Crash". With these demos they played shows throughout Italy and promoted their skatepunk sound.
In 1999 an independent Canadian label, EveryBodyLoves Records, produced the band's first album "Fast And Comfortable". The band followed this release with a tour through Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia.
In 2001 the band released an EP titled "Business Called Fun" that was dual-released in Canada and Italy. They made their first trip across the Atlantic Ocean to perform dates in Canada, in support of the new EP. Bullion Records, a Japanese label, later compiled the tracks from "A Business Called Fun" and "Fast And Comfortable", and released it under the name of the latter.
The band released their self-titled album, "Beerbong", on multiple labels including Bullion. This album was recorded at Studio 73 in Ravenna, Italy, and masted at Capitol Studios in Hollywood by Mark Chalecki (Megadeth, The Vandals, Less Than Jake). An international tour to support this release took the band through Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, and The Netherlands, followed by another tour leg in Japan in 2005.
Paolo Crimi, Beerbong's renowned skatepunk drummer, joined Italian thrash-metal band Extrema as a side-project to Beerbong.
Beerbong's album "Murder Party" followed in 2006, and remains their last release to date. Again, the album was recorded at Studio 73 in Ravenna, and this time the ensuing tour included Italy and Spain.
Fields Of Gold
BeerBong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
The song "Fields of Gold" by BeerBong is a romantic song that conveys the beauty and simplicity of life's finest moments. The lyrics paint a tender and vivid picture of a couple walking through fields of barley, enjoying each other's company, and forgetting the world around them. The song speaks of a love that endures and stays with you even after the moment has passed. The west wind serves as a symbol of change and the passage of time, reminding the characters and the listeners to cherish the present moment.
The lyrics express the desire for a love that lasts, symbolized by the fields of gold. The fields serve as a metaphor for the beauty and value of love, which remains even as time passes. The song captures the essence of love by conveying that it's more than just a fleeting emotion, but rather a feeling that can be deep and long-lasting. The final lines of the song, "You'll remember me when the west wind moves/Upon the fields of barley/You can tell the sun in his jealous sky/When we walked in fields of gold," are poignant and evocative, conveying the desire for love to endure beyond time and be remembered forever.
Line by Line Meaning
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
You'll recall me when you feel the wind blowing in from the west
Upon the fields of barley
Across the golden fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
You'll neglect the sun shining in a jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
While we stroll through these fields of gold
So she took her love
Thus, she brought her affection
For to gaze awhile
To glance for a little while
Upon the fields of barley
At the yellow fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
She collapsed into his arms as her hair fell down
Among the fields of gold
Within the golden fields
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Would you remain with me, would you be my sweetheart
Among the fields of barley
In the midst of the barley fields
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
We'll disregard the envious sun in the sky
As we lie in fields of gold
While we rest in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Watch as the wind from the west blows smoothly like a lover
Upon the fields of barley
Over the ripening barley fields
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Feel her body lift up when you kiss her lips
Among the fields of gold
In the midst of these fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
I never made promises recklessly
And there have been some that I've broken
Though I have made mistakes and broken some promises
But I swear in the days still left
But I vow that there are still days left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll stroll through the golden fields
Many years have passed since those summer days
Many years have flown by since those summery days
Among the fields of barley
In the midst of the barley fields
See the children run as the sun goes down
Observe the kids run as the sun sinks below the horizon
Among the fields of gold
In these fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
You'll think of me when the wind blows from the west
Upon the fields of barley
Across the golden fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
You can communicate to the sun that's enviously shining in the sky
When we walked in fields of gold
About when we strolled through the fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we strolled through the fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we meandered through the fields of gold
