2) Birth Control are also a newer band from Philadelphia, featuring Sean McGuiness of Pissed Jeans. They play a strange form of punk that embodies anything that defies normality and embraces the unknown. Their music, if capable of being compared to anything/anyone at all, is similar to having your questions constantly going unanswered.

Just Before The Sun Will Rise
Birth Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel free, I am me, only dreamin' of reality
The lies are up and gone
What a freight, I can see
Life is changin' every new day is soon the past
The night is here only darkness if somewhere there's light
People are sleepin' or typsy or holding each other tight
Before the sun will rise
Before the sun will rise
Before the sun will rise
A drunkard bawling out, he cries out all his pain
All his supplications were in vain
I'm gonna lay me down
Can't you see endlessly
Twilight's risin' slow all overtown
The night is here only darkness if somewhere there's light
People are sleepin' or typsy or holding each other tight
Nightly again come the twilight growin' more and more
Before the sun will rise
Before the sun will rise
Before the sun will rise
The sun will rise
Before the sun will rise
Before, before the sun, the sun will rise
Before the sun, the sun, the sun will rise
In the song "Just Before The Sun Will Rise" by Birth Control, the singer describes a sense of freedom and self-realization that comes at night, when lies are "up and gone." The nighttime is characterized as a space of dreaming and liberation, where the singer can let go of the past and embrace the changing nature of life. However, the singer also acknowledges the darkness that is present at night, suggesting that somewhere there is light even as people sleep or hold each other tightly. The refrain highlights the inevitability of the sun rising and another day beginning, but also suggests the possibility of new beginnings and a fresh start.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's context and experiences. Some might see it as a celebration of the night and all it offers, while others might see the darkness as a reminder of the challenges of life. The sense of inevitability conveyed in the refrain might be comforting or oppressive, depending on one's perspective. Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the cyclical nature of time and the possibilities that exist within it.

So glad this song finally made it onto youtube! Thanks a million for uploading it - this is one of the best Hammond organ examples out there and a damn good driving song! An excellent track from a very talented yet underrated band.
Helmut Godau
Yes, organ performings like this are rare to find these days: 2:00 - 2:42 and 3:30 - 5:15, but the first hammond masterpieces were created by genius Jon Lord (check Kentucky woman 2:17- 3:27, April 0:49 - 2:10, River deep, mountain high 0:41 - 2:39, just to mention a few)...
