Dawn, melodic black metal band from Sweden:
The history of Dawn goes back to 1990 when founder and guitarist Fredrik Söderberg left his former band, Obduracy. (Even earlier than that, back in 1985-1986, Fredrik also was a member of CRANIUM, who later changed their name to LEGION). Hailing from Linköping, Sweden and therefore being close friends with death metal cult band SEANCE, it was not long before Patrik Jensen (today in The Haunted and Witchery) recommended a new guitarist to Fredrik: Andreas Fullmestad (formerly in MORGUE). Fredrik and Andreas got together and the unit was completed by drummer Karsten Larsson and bassist Dennis Karlsson (both ex-MORTIFIED members). The final addition to this early Dawn line-up was Henke Forss (FUNERAL FEAST, IN FLAMES), providing the band with death growls from hell.

Dawn, Progressive Rock band from Switzerland
Dawn creates its own music with a vintage sound, inspired by great british bands.
Between 2005 and 2006, Dawn played several live performances: opening band for Kansas and Fish, "Montreux Prog Nights" and Progsol festivals.
Recorded in 2007, Loneliness is the first official record of Dawn. The album is about life: dawn and dusk; ups and downs. This record is well balanced with short tracks, like "Dusk" and "Loneliness", as well as longer ones like "The Story of Nobody". Building on its favourite "vintage sound" (mellotron, old Korg ...), the band has found a style of its own, with clear melody, complex rhythms, moods....

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree
Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
And I wrote and told her please
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
I'm comin' home
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
The lyrics to Dawn's song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" tell the story of a man who has been away from his loved one for three years, and is coming home. He's anxious about whether or not she still wants him, and he asks her to tie a yellow ribbon around an old oak tree if she does. If he doesn't see the ribbon, he'll know she doesn't want him and he'll stay on the bus.
The lyrics are powerful because they evoke the fears and anxieties that people feel when they're away from the ones they love. The man has been away for a long time, and he's worried that his loved one has moved on. He's asking her for a sign of her commitment, and the yellow ribbon becomes a symbol of their relationship.
The yellow ribbon also became a symbol for the American hostages who were held in Iran in 1979, and the song became a popular way for people to express their support for the hostages and their families. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of love and commitment, even when we're separated from the ones we care about.

This was the biggest hit of 1973 and one of the biggest of all time. (In 2018, Billboard ranked it the 46th biggest hit ever.) The instrumentation was retro upon its release, and within ten years, the track sounded corny and dated, an item of ironic nostalgia. Yet, 50 years later, there's no denying this unforgettable ditty's sweet charm.
@barbarahaberman349
But remember it had a revival during the Iran hostage crisis in 1980.
@ronniedamnitz9295
William this is a timeless record indeed!
@sundarmann6167
Rightly said!
@Ston247
I was 10 at the time. 1973 had some of the gentlest music of that era. This song came out before the death of Bruce Lee and before the oil embargo.
@Cavedweller71
Whenever I hear it reminds me of childhood in 70s and simple fun times! 😞
@iosefoyagomate5647
I danced to this song back in 1973. I was only 11 back then and am still dancing in 2021. I am 58 years now and am loving it so much more....I wish I could live forever.
@ronniedamnitz9295
God bless. I hope you do!
@SawneyBean666
You will live forever. There is no peace. We just have to hope we don’t come back as a prey animal always on the lookout for that creature that is going to eat us 🤣 I believe in reincarnation but it has nothing to do with a soul jumping out and entering a new body. I just think something comes alive and experiences that life like you are yours at the moment. You was nothing before but you was if you can get your head around that. Like I said there is no peace and something will get born somewhere in the universe and will live. Think about it as it is a mind bender.
@Tianastreasuretrove
Cool, I wish I was born back then, don't like today's music it sucks. 😕 ☹
