1) Casey is a Welsh melodic hardcore band formed in South Wales, United Kingdom in 2014. The band formed shortly after vocalist Tom Weaver and guitarist Liam Torrance left previous projects, Continents and Hot Damn respectively.

Originally formed as a studio band under the name Well Wisher, Weaver and Torrance later recruited Toby Evans, Max Nicolai, and Scott Edwards, and began producing material with the intention of performing live. After a brief hiatus while Weaver auditioned to join the band Northlane, the name Well Wisher was dropped, and the band relaunched under the name Casey. The name is derived from both Weaver's love of the album Casey by The Rise of Science, and also Torrance's tribute to the late Hawthorne Heights guitarist, Casey Calvert.

On December 1st, 2018, the band released a statement explaining that they have decided to disband following a final UK/European tour and a one-off headline show in the US in 2019. Casey's music has been described as "packed to the rafters with emotionally charged guitar lines and captivating, heartfelt lyrics" and "mix of rhythmic atmosphere, spoken word, hardcore guitar and more into the tracks guaranteed to move you and tell you a vivid story.", leading to them being categorized as post-hardcore, melodic hardcore, hardcore punk, emotional hardcore, shoegaze and alternative rock.

In the years following Casey's disbandment, Smith formed the bands Asidhara and Mourn, which was with members of Continents and Wilderness, and released their debut single on August 5, 2021, while Nicolai and Torrance formed Exit Dream alongside vocalist Wesley Thompson, formerly of Napoleon and Climates, and session musician Rob Hawkins.

On December 1, 2022, the band announced that they had reformed and that they had booked five tour date in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe between January 12 and 20, 2023. After every one of the dates sold out, they announced on December 11 that had booked additional dates in London and Oberhausen and upgraded the date in Manchester. In a January 2023 interview with Clash magazine, Weaver explained the reunion came about when Torrence contacted him about reforming only days after his split from his fiancée, which Torrence was unaware of. In the following weeks, the band's final lineup then began to meet one another, and soon writing again. On December 6, 2022, they released the single "Great Grief", the first song written as a band following their reunion, which was followed on January 3, 2023, by the single "Atone".

Forward to September 15, 2023, they released the single "Puncture Wounds To Heaven", and announced it would be a part of their upcoming third studio album.

Casey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooo baby we were sinking in that bottle
Pouring through the photographs and all the words we swallowed
Ooo baby I was swimmin' in my whiskey
Thinking of the times I should have asked you to come with me
But I set my sights too high
Cause you were, the one that I could stand by
You were born with a tear in your eye
And it's hard now, harder than we realized

So I set myself to wander all the while...
Ooo woah, sisters in my sleep
Will you take all of the photographs
And hang them in my dreams?
Will you take all of the memories
And all the good and bad
We can hang them in the belfry
And never look back
Ooo baby we were straight out from the circus
Dancing down the tightropes with our blessings and our burdens
Ooo baby we were closing up the curtains
Holding back the stolen laughs in bottles filled with bourbon
But I set my sights too high
Cause you were the one that I could stand by
You were born with a tear in your eye
And it's hard now, harder than we realized
So I set myself to wander all the while...
Ooo woah, sisters in my sleep
Will you take all of the photographs
And hang them in my dreams?
Will you take all of the memories
And all the good and bad

We can hang them in the belfry
And never look back...

Ooo baby we were sinking in that bottle
We were drowning our sorrows in alcohol

Pouring through the photographs and all the words we swallowed
We were reminiscing about the past and regretting our choices

Ooo baby I was swimmin' in my whiskey
I was getting drunk to escape my reality

Thinking of the times I should have asked you to come with me
Regretting not spending enough time with the person I loved

But I set my sights too high
I had unrealistic expectations

Cause you were, the one that I could stand by
You were my support system

You were born with a tear in your eye
You were born into a difficult situation

And it's hard now, harder than we realized
Life is more difficult than we anticipated

So I set myself to wander all the while...
I started aimlessly wandering to escape my problems

Ooo woah, sisters in my sleep
I dream of my female friends who support me

Will you take all of the photographs
Can you help me keep memories of the past alive?
