(1) A Progressive rock band, formed in late 2004 in Caracas, Venezuela, with the idea of making music without any kind of limits. Formed by three guitars, bass, keyboards and drums, adding a “cuatro” (typical venezuelan instrument) once in a while, you get to see a not so common line-up inside the standards of the genre.
Shortly after the inception of the band, in may 2005, they won the prestigious “Festival Alma Mater Rock” in Caracas, being the first instrumental band in getting that award. Through 2006, they kept on playing live shows and in 2007 they took a break from playing live so they could start working on their first album, which was due sometime around 2008. The album's name will be Nature/Existence and it should come out some time in 2009. Besides this, the band will be appearing in two compilation albums put together by Colossus Magazine (Finland) and Musea Records (France): Rökstenen: a tribute to Swedish progressive rock of the 70's and Paradiso based on Dante's Divine Comedy.
(2) An Ambient Post-Hardcore/Post-Metal project based in Winchester, UK.
Echoes formed in November 2010. Their debut album "Transcendent" is followed by their new album "The Pursuit" which can be purchased through iTunes or via their website.

Having only been the final line-up since the summer of 2010, their music has developed already into a more mature sound that nods at their contemporaries. Since the start of the self-produced album the band have worked solidly to promote themselves and have made several connections with promoters and other bands. Their music has been described as "perfect sweeping soundscapes", and they bring a fresh style to the young UK hardcore scene.

(16) (Incorrect redirect) Echos, the Portland duo, fall into a genreless mist of both cinematic post-rock style instrumentation and left-of-center pop writing; paving a new path, and style along the way. Clash Magazine notes Echos are "Oddly infectious […] in an electronic haze”. Often self-referential and coated in bitter-romance lyricism, Echos brings the angst of 2006’s emo days and reinvents it with 2018’s anti-pop pop-music. Have been working with with online promotional mecca ‘MrSuicideSheep’ and his label ‘Seeking Blue’ for the last 3+ years – Echos has seen the fortune of millions of streams, impressions, and eyes on their music. Finding importance in the physical, Echos has not only seen gains digitally, but they have found themselves supporting large-room sold out tours with electronic acts like Illenium, on the festival stages of Electric Forest, Snowglobe, and more as well as a bus tour with Alternative metal good-boys ‘I See Stars’.
(17) A Berlin based post-punk/new wave band who formed in 2019 and released their first demo in July 2020. Their Bandcamp: https://echoesberlin.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020
FAREWELL
Echoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue as the gray skies opening downwards
Sighing my hand trembling my chest heaving
Your picture standing by the window all alone
Makes me wonder if after everything you still miss me
Echoes's song Farewell describes a heartbroken person who is reminiscing about their love and wondering if their sentiments are reciprocated. The lyrics, "Counting the raindrops as they fall to the ground, Blue as the gray skies opening downwards," suggest a bleak and sad environment, which reflects the singer's desolate state of mind. The imagery of the raindrops falling and the gray skies opening downwards highlights the sorrowful mood and sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The lines, "Sighing my hand trembling my chest heaving, Your picture standing by the window all alone, Makes me wonder if after everything you still miss me," describe the singer's physical and emotional distress. The singer's hand trembles and their chest heaves as they sigh, indicating the intensity of their emotions. The picture of their love standing alone by the window portrays their loneliness and hints at their yearning for their love's return. The singer questions if their love still misses them, signifying their uncertainty about their relationship and their longing for reassurance.
Line by Line Meaning
Counting the raindrops as they fall to the ground
As raindrops fall from the sky, I count them one by one to distract myself from the pain of missing you.
Blue as the gray skies opening downwards
The color of my emotions is like the gray skies, dark and heavy with sadness.
Sighing my hand trembling my chest heaving
I sigh from the weight of my emotions, my hand trembles with longing, and my chest heaves from the deep breaths I take in an attempt to calm myself.
Your picture standing by the window all alone
I see your picture standing by the window, and it reminds me of how lonely I am without you.
Makes me wonder if after everything you still miss me
Seeing your picture and feeling the pain of missing you makes me contemplate whether you also miss me despite all that has happened.
