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.
Hey Day
Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's part of a legacy
For all the times that I know
Have never be good to me
But when you go and try to sort it out,
I'm kind of worried where it leaves me
Hey, how long can this go on, I wanna be free again
And when you go and try to sort it out,
I'm kind of worried whether I'll be
Part of the world too
Hey, you know, this shiver I've got
It's part of a legacy
For all the times that I've known
Have never be good to me
But when you go and try to sort it out,
I'm kind of worried whether I'll be
Part of the world too
