3) The American Caesar formed in December 2010, and while none of the members can call the same town home, they have all found a home within Caesar. Caesar hits the pavement as much as possible and having members from Michigan and Indiana, they make sure that whenever they are given a stage to play on they make sure to leave their mark. The live performance of this group is what they pride themselves on, and they entertain in a manner that fans won't soon forget. As for the music, it can stand on its own. The way in which the music of Caesar is delivered through speakers is for lack of a better word: aggressive.It can be found in the rhythmic attack from the instruments and the chilling delivery of the vocals. The music is high energy and unceasing. Caesar has hopes to find a home in an industry that is constantly changing. With the groups first full length expected in the early summer 2012, Caesar is putting all they have into creating a unique music experience that they are going to give back to every single person that has supported them.

Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when it's getting dark you shine a light
Everybody always worked hard, we were pleased with ourselves
And someone took away our hungry hearts
I could never do it to you (do to you)
Seems so easy just to make it right (make it right)
I think it's time for something new now (something new )
(Just to make it right), just to make it right
(Just to make it right), just to make it
Two sides to what I see, can't stick to this belief
I'm in the middle of conspiracies
One tells me he can be tied to what I feel is right
The other turns his face away from me
I could never do it to you (do to you )
It seems so easy just to make it right (make it right )
I think it's time for something new now (something new)
So I keep looking for my firefly
(Just to make it right), just to make it right
(Just to make it right), just to make it
