1.Denali was an American indie band that formed in April 2000 in Richmond, Virginia. The group disbanded in 2004, but reunited in 2008-09 for several performances.
Denali began in Richmond, Virginia in 2000 when Maura Davis approached her older brother Keeley Davis (then singer/guitarist withEngine Down with the idea of fleshing out some songs she had been working on. Keeley enlisted the help of Engine Down bandmate and former Sleepytime Trio drummer Jonathan Fuller and was followed slightly thereafter by Cam DiNunzio, longstanding member of Richmond's music community. Together these three gentlemen would help realize Maura's musical ideas into what eventually became Denali.
The name Denali (meaning "the great one") is taken from the Athabascan name for Alaska's Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. The meaning is fairly obvious: Cold, remotely desolate, permanent... something the band felt pertained rather well to the sound they were stumbling upon. After recording and selling a five-song demo at live shows, Denali caught the ear of record label Jade Tree.
Denali released their debut album denali in the spring of 2002. In August 2003, they released their second album the Instinct. Shortly after the release, Jonathan Fuller and Keeley Davis left the band to focus their attention on Engine Down. Davis was replaced by bassist Stephen Howard and Ryan Rapsys replaced Fuller. Despite (or because of) these changes, Denali broke up in April 2004.
Denali performed a reunion show on July 5, 2008 at The National Theater in Richmond. This was followed by two further shows in New York City in September. In June 2009, two additional shows were performed in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C..
Everybody Knows
Denali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I once was sleeping
All remains are in safe keeping
Looks like everybody knows
I want to learn the secret my way
It's right behind me
So softly
Centered in a field
I'm in the same rotation
Waiting on a clear reason
Why this is the wrong way out
It's right behind me
So softly
Lock down inside
More of you buys my time
I never knew this is the way it goes
In "Everybody Knows," Denali, the American alternative rock band, sings about wanting to learn a secret their own way. The lyrics "I want to learn the secret my way, it's right behind me, so softly" suggest that the band is in search of something elusive or mysterious, and they believe that the answer is just within reach. The line "Lock down inside, More of you buys my time" tells us that the band is struggling with something and trying to buy time by holding onto something else.
The song's theme revolves around ambiguity and confusion, in both lyrics and sound. The lyrics are somewhat abstract, and the melody is ambient and moody. Some critics have interpreted that the song's tone suggests a sense of hopelessness and vulnerability, highlighting the feeling that the band is in search of something that is just out of reach.
Overall, the lyrics of the song seem to call for listeners to remain hopeful, even in situations where the path is uncertain. The song sounds like it is trying to convey a sense of danger and intensity, but also the possibility of resolution and hope.
