Original members Kyle Even and David Schmitt started the project in 2007, they didn't anticipate that their âjust for funâ intent would explode into an internationally sought-after duo within just a couple of years. The story of Breathe Carolina is a modern day music fairytale, about two friends who recorded tracks on Mac program GarageBand at home in Denver, Colorado, put them on to MySpace and rapidly gained a huge online following.
The duo's self-released debut EP Gossip hit iTunes in 2007, and after a phenomenal response, they released their debut album "Itâs Classy, Not Classic" in 2008. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #186. Their genre-clashing blend of crowd-pleasing pop, rock and electronica was a hit, and no longer confined to the bedroom â Breathe Carolina were a global force ready to be heard.
After signing with Fearless Records in 2009, their album Hello Fascination took their music to a bigger, brighter and more blistering dimension. Recorded with the stellar production team of Mike Green (Paramore, The Higher, Set Your Goals) and Matt Squire (Taking Back Sunday, 3OH!3, Panic At The Disco), their sound became re-defined with the addition of live instruments and hooky pop choruses. The album debuted at #43 on the Billboard Top 200, at #5 on the Independent Chart and #2 on the Electronic Chart. The title track âHello Fascinationâ was featured on MTVâs The City and received placement on NBCâs Sunday Night Football. It even became the featured track on NBCâs The Jay Leno Show promos.
The duo followed up their second UK headline tour of the year with a whole summer on Vans Warped Tour 2010, followed by a direct support slot to Mayday Parade on the Fearless Friends Tour in Fall 2010.
2011 has been quite the year for the band, as "Blackout"'s steady ascension up the Top 40 single chart, embraced by fans across the nation as their new party anthem, has made them one of the only independent acts taking on the pop goliaths at Top 40. 'Hell Is What You Make It' debuted at #2 on the Billboard Electronic Chart, with The NY Times calling the album "one of the best pure pop albums of the year". A performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, main playlist rotation across all MTV networks for video "Blackout" and an Artist Of The Week slot on MTV's PUSH program fueled the genre-blending duo's success story.
Starting out in a bedroom in the suburbs of the Mile High City, Breathe Carolina was one of the first bands to start making waves via social networks. They truly came into their own on Fearless Records-released sophomore full-length Hello Fascination. A step to a brave next level, the album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #43, and went on to sell over 60,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Their juxtaposition of hardcore guts and pop glory found a happy niche between both rock and pop fans, the album's title track landing placements on the promos for NBC's Jay Leno Show, 30 Rock and Monday Night Football, MTV's The Hills and The City.
With national radio dates with fellow Top 40 acts including Flo-Rida, Selena Gomez, Kreayshawn, Hot Chelle Rae, Cobra Starship and The Fray sees the band ending 2011 on an all time high.
Rebirth: An Introduction
Breathe Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That shine, that spark.
The sunset too soon that night.
Your heart's not breathing.
Come, come back to me.
Your heart's not breathing.
The lyrics to Breathe Carolina's song Rebirth: An Introduction begin with a poignant reflection. The singer talks about how every shooting star he sees reminds him of the moment when Hollywood lost one of its brightest stars. This line seems to be a reference to a tragic event that happened in the entertainment industry, and how someone's shining moment can suddenly come to an end.
The next set of lines in the song talk about the brightness that this star brought to the world, the sparkle that made them stand out among the rest. However, this light disappeared too soon, just like the sunset does every night. This metaphor is powerful because it shows how beauty and light can be fleeting, and how the loss of something so special can leave you feeling empty.
The song's chorus focuses on the idea that someone's heart is not breathing. It's a call to come back to the singer, to bring life back into the heart that seems to be missing. Overall, the lyrics to this song are poignant and thought-provoking, reflecting on the fleeting nature of beauty, and the pain of losing someone too soon.
Line by Line Meaning
Every shooting star reminds me when Hollywood lost the brightest.
Every time I see a shooting star, I am reminded of the time when Hollywood lost its brightest star.
That shine, that spark.
The brightness and energy that this star possessed.
The sunset too soon that night.
The star's life was cut short, much like the end of a day when the sun sets before we are ready.
Your heart's not breathing.
You are not really living or experiencing life to its fullest.
Come, come back to me.
I am urging you to return to a state of vitality and passion.
Your heart's not breathing.
I am emphasizing that you have not fully embraced life and are not truly living.

This song is beastly, love the tradeoff between the heavy distorted guitar riffs and the pop-dance beats. I just found out about this band, and I'm definitely a fan.
