Original members Kyle Even and David Schmitt started the project in 2007, they didn't anticipate that their “just for fun” 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 "It’s 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 – 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 “Hello Fascination” was featured on MTV’s The City and received placement on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. It even became the featured track on NBC’s 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.
Take Me To Infinity
Breathe Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we could stop time tonight then there would be no goodbye
Don't let me go, don't you dare close your eyes.
Take me to infinity.
Trust what you feel 'cause your eyes will deceive
Take everything, all the time you can steal
And it felt like ooo ooo ooo ooo!
Take me to infinity
I'll feel up your soul, in the dark if you're shy.
Take me to infinity
Out of control at the speed of this light
A never ending kick so we'll never die.
Take me to infinity
Keep this beat between your teeth, it's relentless and red.
Come on and melt your body,
Let your hips hit your knees
The song Take Me To Infinity by Breathe Carolina is a pop-electronic track that is filled with lyrical imagery that creates a sense of love, passion, and urgency. The song opens with an appeal to stop time so that there will be no goodbyes. The singer implores her partner not to let her go and to keep his eyes open. She wants to be taken to infinity, and her heart is open to trust her feelings even though her eyes can deceive her. She wants to seize the moment and take everything she can. In the chorus, the beat drops, and she repeats the phrase "take me to infinity" with exclamatory ooo's in the background.
As the song progresses, she wants to sparkle and shine with her partner and light up the sky. She promises to fill up his soul in the dark if he's shy. The song becomes messianic when she sings that they're out of control at the speed of light and that they'll never die. The beat becomes more intense and relentless, and the lyrics become more suggestive. She asks her partner to keep the beat between his teeth and let his body melt. She wants him to let his hips hit his knees, and the song ends with her repeating the phrase "take me to infinity."
