1) Caesar was a three-piece indie rock band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1994-2008), consisting of Roald van Oosten (vocals, guitar), Sem David Bakker (bass) and Marit de Loos (drums). Their début album, Clean (1996), was the very first release of Holland's prestigious Excelsior Recordings label. The band would release three more studio albums: No Rest For The Alonely (1998), Leaving Sparks (2000) and the self-titled Caesar (2003). They were one of the most popular indie rock bands in The Netherlands around the year 2000, played almost every major Dutch festival, won a 'Silver Harp' and toured internationally.
Following a sabbatical year (2005), the group released Before My band Explodes (2006), a compilation of outtakes and rarities. The band arranged a 'farewell gig' in the Melkweg in Amsterdam in April 2008 - and called it a day.
Frontman, Roald van Oosten, continued to release music, first with his shirt-lived new group, Ghost Trucker (2006). 2016 saw the release of his first solo album.
2) Cæsar is Bjarne Bøgesø Rasmussen (May 15, 1938 - April 22, 2000), a Danish protest/folk singer.
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.
Hang Myself From the Tree
Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know nothing worse
Than being depressed and told to be happy
The season of suicide
I know why they died
Christmas reminds me I have nothing
I've got no girl, there's only me
Another Chrismas alone
I've got no food to eat
No ornaments or wreath
So I'll hang myself from the tree
Christmas is dark and wet
So I can't forget
Christmas reminds me I have nothing
This is the end of hope
I won't write a note
' Cause it would be adressed to no one
I've got no girl, there's only me
No friends or family
Another Chrismas alone
I've got no food to eat
No ornaments or wreath
So I'll hang myself from the tree've got
Now we'll say goodbye
No one will cry
Christmas goes on without me
My life is now complete
So I'll go to sleep
Forever and ever and ever
I've got no girl, there's only me
No friends or family
Another Chrismas alone
I've got no food to eat
No ornaments or wreath
So I'll hang myself from the tree
The lyrics to Caesar's song "Hang Myself From the Tree" are a poignant and raw portrayal of the feelings of isolation and hopelessness that can come with being alone during the holiday season. The singer of the song expresses that Christmas is hell on earth for them and explains that they know nothing worse than being depressed and told to be happy. The holiday season serves as a reminder that they have nothing and no one, and they feel so alone that they would rather end their life than spend Christmas alone. The singer has no girlfriend, no friends, no family, and no food, ornaments, or wreath. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a person who has lost all hope and sees no way out of their loneliness except through death.
The song is a powerful reflection on the dark side of the holiday season, and the societal pressure to be happy during what is marketed as the "most wonderful time of the year." The singer's pain and despair are palpable, and the lyrics are a stark reminder that not everyone is able to find joy in the holidays. It is a sad but important reminder to check in on our loved ones during the holiday season, as many people struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation during this time.
