Beloved was an American post-hardcore band from Greensboro and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Beloved recorded and released their debut EP, The Running (on the now defunct Vindicated Records), when they were only in their teens (Josh was only 16 at the time of recording). They caught the attention of Solid State Records and shifted their sound towards melodic hardcore while retaining the emo influences of their youth. In 2003 they released their debut full-length, Failure On.
In 2004, drummer Joe Musten got married, and determined that it would not be possible to continue to tour with the band. They discussed replacements, but ultimately determined that the band's sound was largely defined by Joe and they could not continue under the name of Beloved.
On January 14th, 2005, in their hometown, they played their final show, along with Classic Case, Underoath, Glass Casket, and a surprise appearance by Norma Jean.
Guitarist Dusty currently plays in Dead Poetic and lead singer and guitarist Josh plays in Classic Case. The three remaining members went on to form Advent.
2) Beloved [origin UK]:
Beloved (also sometimes referred to as "The Beloved") are a British electronic / acid house / ambient techno group active from 1983, founded and fronted by Jon Marsh.
From 1986, Steve Waddington joined Marsh as a core part of the band to record the indie album debut, Where It Is, in 1987. Following a shift from freestyle to acid house, The Beloved were signed by WEA to produce Happiness in January 1990 and Blissed Out (a remix complement to Happiness, released at the close of that year; see link below).
Waddington departed as Jon's wife, Helena Marsh, joined in late 1992 for the third album Conscience, released early the following year. In 1996, The Beloved's fourth album of new material, X, was released, followed by a retrospective collection, Single File, issued by their label in 1997. Their signature acid house breakthrough, "Sun Rising" (see link below), has been remixed by DJs in several iterations since its original release in 1989. A remix collection aggregating these variations was released later.
The Beloved are best known for the singles "Forever Dancing", "Loving Feeling", "Your Love Takes Me Higher", "Hello", "Time After Time", "It's Alright Now", "Sweet Harmony", "Outerspace Girl", and "Ease the Pressure".
While no new material has been produced in over a decade as he moved into DJing, Jon has not officially brought closure to the Beloved name.

Rise And Fall
Beloved Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our motives are shot
This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
It's gathered here and wakening me
It's stealing with fear that's reaching in
And pulling out with every beat
Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
In this confiding pulse
It's reminding me and always surrounding me
Past pictures will keep me
From being the man I could be
Burn out and I'll burn now
I'll carry this burden of memory
A name that lingers on a blank face
Can never fill a heart that's sinking fast
And hurting to feel
It's falling so fast now
To never rise again
We all burn out
We all rise and fall
We all burn now
The lyrics to Beloved's song "Rise & Fall" convey a sense of vulnerability and introspection. The first line, "Our defenses open," suggests a willingness to be open and honest, while the following lines, "Our motives are shot / This hush of the heart seems too much to keep," hint at a sense of uncertainty and perhaps even regret. The singer is wrestling with their own emotions and struggles to keep them contained. They feel a powerful force awakening within them, but also a fear that is holding them back.
The lines, "In this confiding pulse / I'll find a way to keep it all confined," suggest a desire to keep their turmoil hidden, perhaps out of shame or a fear of being judged. The singer is haunted by past memories, and feels that they are unable to live up to their potential because of them. They carry the weight of these memories like a burden, unable to let go and move on.
The chorus, "We all burn out / We all rise and fall / We all burn now," emphasizes the sense of universality in the human experience. Everyone struggles with pain and loss, but ultimately we all have the capacity to rise again. The song is a poignant reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that even in darkness there is hope for a brighter future.
Line by Line Meaning
Our defenses open
Our emotional guard is down
Our motives are shot
Our reasons for doing things are unclear or misguided
This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
The silence and stillness within ourselves is overwhelming
It's gathered here and wakening me
My emotions are building up and starting to surface
It's stealing with fear that's reaching in
Fear is taking hold of me and causing me to retreat
And pulling out with every beat
It's getting stronger with each heartbeat
Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
The emotions are intense and clear, but only I can feel them
In this confiding pulse
Within this private and personal emotional experience
I'll find a way to keep it all confined
I'll figure out how to control and manage my emotions
It's reminding me and always surrounding me
The past memories and emotions are constantly present
Past pictures will keep me
My memories and experiences from the past will continue to affect me
From being the man I could be
They will prevent me from becoming the person I have the potential to be
Burn out and I'll burn now
If I continue to let my emotions consume me, I will burn out
I'll carry this burden of memory
I'll live with the weight of my past experiences and emotions
A name that lingers on a blank face
A person from the past who is no longer present or relevant
Can never fill a heart that's sinking fast
Memories alone cannot heal the pain that I'm feeling
And hurting to feel
The emotions are overwhelming and physically painful
It's falling so fast now
My emotional state is declining rapidly
To never rise again
I feel like I will never recover from this
We all burn out
We all experience emotional exhaustion
We all rise and fall
We all have good and bad moments in life
We all burn now
We're all struggling with our own battles and emotions right now
