Dishwalla, which emerged out of the early stages of post-grunge, is composed of J.R. Richards (vocals), Scot Alexander (bass), Rodney Browning Cravens (guitar), Jim Wood (keyboards), and George Pendergast (drums). They spent the mid-'90s touring with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Blind Melon, and the Goo Goo Dolls in support of Pet Your Friends. Prior to making a second album, the band was caught in the middle of the Polygram/Universal merger and such a move left Dishwalla pondering what to do next. Their second album, And You Think You Know What Life's About, was released in 1998; promotion and sales were lackluster due to label downsizing. Dishwalla's time with A&M was short-lived and exhausting because of such corporate behavior, but they stuck it out to contribute their cover version of "Policy of Truth" for the Depeche Mode tribute album For the Masses. By the new millennium, Dishwalla left behind major-market America for a third album. They signed with Immergent while Pendergrast parted ways with the band. Pete Maloney, a drummer picked up on the 1998 tour, resumed percussion duties. In 2002, Dishwalla issued their experimental third album Opaline (Immergent), quickly followed by 2003's Live... Greetings from the Flow State. A self-titled album produced by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down), Bill Szymczyk, and Ryan Greene (NOFX, Nerf Herder) followed in 2005 before the band went on indefinite hiatus.
Three years passed before Dishwalla would return in 2008. Debuting a lineup that joined original members Alexander, Pendergast, Cravens, and Wood with new vocalist Justin Fox, the band hit the road, touring sporadically over the following years. They would not return to the studio until 2016, when they began recording their first album in a decade. Juniper Road arrived in 2017.

Dishwalla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately, lately
I feel it in my bones
The creeps are in the stones
And I can't live another night
Among these streets of you
Another lie
I see the rising in the dirt
Another night
Lately, lately
Lately, lately
I feel it in my bones
The creeps are in the stones
And I can't live another night
Among these streets of you

Recently, recently
I feel it in my bones
I have a strong sense of it in my intuition
The creeps are in the stones
There is something unsettling and creepy in the very foundation of things
And I can't live another night
I cannot endure enduring this environment any longer
Among these streets of you
In this place that embodies the essence of who you are
I can feel it in my head
I have an internal inkling of it
Another lie
Another form of deception
I see the rising in the dirt
I observe the emergence of something unpleasant
Another night
Another period of darkness and unease

@Batthory Dommage que sur la vidéo, le morceau qui suit "Surrender the crown" n'est pas à l'écoute, car les deux chansons sont indissociables sur l'album "Dishwalla", quant on les écoute à suivre, c'est magique, cela vous donne des frissons, cela vous emporte....c'est vraiment une réussite totale. Quel dommage que le chanteur J.R. Richards soit parti, son remplaçant ne possède pas la même voix... Les reprises sont fades. On espère qu'il reviendra sur scène avec Dishwalla, avec + de titres!!!!

Is this a full version of this song? I've been looking for a song for what feels like forever that has the title as song lyrics, but I'm unable to find it. I've been having no luck as it was on a burnt CD my sister had in the early 2000's. Some of the lyrics are "the creeps are in the stones" but there are a lot more lyrics in the song I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated though I know that's not much to go by.
Mercilius88
