That same year they created a self-titled demo which featured 6 original songs, such as, "Circles", "Misplaced", "Sentimental Blood," as well as the song named after the band, "Comfort For Change" This, and continuously playing shows throughout the southwest area of the states, gained them the fan base needed to work on their first full length EP. They recorded their 15 track debut album, "Stories That Didn't Hit the Page..." which was released in October 2008.
Comfort has shared the stage with Flyleaf, Jimmy Eat World, Plain White Tees, Wicked Wisdom, Hot Hot Heat, Hurt, Eisley, Bedouin Soundclash, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Invitro, Chester Benington, Julien K, Hed P.E., Boy Hits Car, Black Light Burns Onesidezero, Depswa, Cage 9, Digital Summer, Vayden, 32 Leaves and many others.
Although the band obviously incorporates their own musical influences ranging from the Deftones, 36 crazy fists, killswitch engage, to the bled, glassjaw and saosin, this band has easily devised a sound that is all their own. With unpredictable rhythms and metal-searing riffs, their passionate energy and love for a unique and unknown sound makes this band a must to hear, and will leave you desiring to hear more.
In 2008, they were signed by a Japanese Recording Label, and will soon begin touring across Japan. For more info on Comfort For Change, and to get their Cd, head to their Myspace page, www.myspace.com/comfortforchange or get it on I tunes.

Comfort For Change Lyrics

The stories that didn't hit the page
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Time has just begun
Right or wrong, the choice is oh so strong
Accept the fact, that you can't take it
The world beyond when you are carved from stone
No escape...
It is your fate. Don't be late...
Feel it inside cause they will not tell you
The stories that didn't hit the page
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Time has just begun
It tastes so good
Better than what I thought that it would be
My sanctuary
No stress, no pain within my chest and I can breathe
So exciting...
I can't explain, it's better this way
No shame
Feel it inside cause they will not tell you
The stories that didn't hit the page
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Time has just begun
This time was just as wonderful, and I thought I was overlooked
I gazed into the brightest eyes, with no blame or sacrifice
Go on sing the same old song, cause I know it won't be too long
Days pass, my time is here at last, so go on
Take me there...
Feel it inside cause they will not tell you
The stories that didn't hit the page
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Time has just begun
The lyrics of Comfort For Change's song "Open Your Eyes" tell a story of self-discovery, encouraging the listener to embrace their inner feelings and potential. The opening lines "Feel it inside cause they will not tell you, the stories that didn't hit the page" suggest that there are some experiences and emotions that cannot be conveyed in words alone, and that it is up to the listener to open their eyes and find their own truth. The line "Time has just begun" emphasizes the idea that it is never too late to start this process of self-exploration and personal growth.
The chorus repeats the message of the song, urging the listener to "open your eyes" and see the world from a new perspective. The next lines "Right or wrong, the choice is oh so strong, accept the fact that you can't take it" suggest that the listener must be willing to make tough decisions and face the consequences of those choices. The bridge of the song takes a reflective turn, describing a moment of inner peace and contentment: "It tastes so good, better than what I thought it would be, my sanctuary."
Overall, "Open Your Eyes" is a call to action, urging the listener to take control of their life and follow their own path. By embracing their inner truth, the listener can find their own "sanctuary" and live a life free of stress and pain.
