They play music so rich and saturated in reverb and bright, sun drenched psychedelia that it will make your headphones sweat like a cold soda can in the summer time. Simple pop melodies, repetitive rhythms, and short, sweet and to the point.
Bleeding Rainbow is a Philadelphia-based band that was originally composed of singer/bassist Sarah Everton - also the drummer when they played as Reading Rainbow - and singer/guitarist Rob Garcia, though now the group has expanded to include drummer Greg Frantz and lead guitarist Al Creedon.While still performing as a duo, Everton and Garcia released two full length albums under the name Reading Rainbow, Mystical Participation, and Prism Eyes on HoZac Records. The band's third release and their first under their new moniker, Yeah Right, sees the band signing to Brooklyn-based label Kanine Records and embracing "bands from our teenage-hood." On February 25, 2014, Bleeding Rainbow released the full length titled "Interrupt".
On April 5, 2015, Bleeding Rainbow announced on their Facebook page that the band had decided to call it quits. The split was amicable, and the members are all focusing on new projects.
Go Ahead
Bleeding Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So please tell me me what I want to hear
And then time will stand still, but I know it won't be sincere
Somehow it feels fine when words come, but they're not mine
I can hear you block yourself far away
Lost in another world where I never want to be around again
I don't know where I am going to
But you never hear what I say
It's all a dream that will go away
I don't know where I am going to
Talking to you is all I ever do
But you never hear what I say
It's all a dream that will go away
In Bleeding Rainbow's song Go Ahead, the lyrics seem to be about a communication breakdown between two individuals. The singer says that some things need to change and that nothing will stay the same, indicating that perhaps the relationship or situation they are in needs to evolve. They ask the other person to tell them what they want to hear, but know that it won't be sincere and time will not stand still. This could be interpreted as the singer not believing that the other person is being honest or transparent with them about what they want or need, and that ultimately things will continue to change.
The singer goes on to say that when words come, they feel fine, but those words are not theirs. This could be a reference to the other person in the relationship dominating the conversation or not allowing the singer to have their own voice. The singer can hear the other person blocking themselves far away, which could be interpreted as the other person not fully engaging or being present in the conversation or relationship.
Throughout the song, the singer repeatedly states that they don't know where they're going and that talking to the other person is all they ever do. The frustration seems to stem from the fact that the other person is not truly hearing what the singer is saying, and that it feels like a dream that will eventually go away. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is not fulfilling, with one person feeling unheard and disconnected from the other.

Some things need to change, nothing will stay the same
Change is inevitable and we can't hold onto anything forever
So please tell me me what I want to hear
I crave affirmation and validation from others
And then time will stand still, but I know it won't be sincere
It's easy to get lost in the moment, but I recognize that it's not genuine
Somehow it feels fine when words come, but they're not mine
I find comfort in expressing myself through others
I can hear you block yourself far away
It's clear to me when someone is emotionally distant and unavailable
Lost in another world where I never want to be around again
I feel disconnected from someone who is not present in the moment with me
I don't know where I am going to
I feel uncertain and directionless in my life
Talking to you is all I ever do
I rely on conversation with others to fill the void in my life
But you never hear what I say
I feel like my words and feelings are not being acknowledged by those around me
It's all a dream that will go away
I know deep down that my current situation is fleeting and not sustainable

the storyline for this video was fantastic, I thought I had burned through my ability to experience a warm fuzzy feeling years ago. Being 30+ is dangerous kids.
