The summer was spent working on new songs until the members decided they were ready to start playing live. After their first show in early August, EFA decided it was time to go into studio and record an intended "3 song EP". Enter BlackLodge Studio in Eudora, Kansas, home to such popular bands as "Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids, Senses Fail, and The Spill Canvas". Despite running short on time to record the third song for the EP, the band felt good about the two song studio demo EP and released it not long after on iTunes, Amazon.com, Rhapsody and myspace. Their debut album titled "Echoes from Airplanes - EP" held two of their radio friendly songs "Indieanna" and "Savior", the former song of which has been played on 96.5 the Buzz's Homegrown Buzz on Sunday evenings.

Echoes' members have mentioned more than once that their main influences collectively as a band come from that of "Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, Foo Fighters and The Appleseed Cast". Individually, the band's members have mentioned band's such as "The New Amsterdams, Superdrag, Death Cab for Cutie, Brand New, The Beatles, Snow Patrol, Yellowcard and many more..." as their main influences for the band's sound.

To this day, EFA is still breaking into the music scene in Kansas City, Missouri. They have recently played and shared the stage at The Beaumont Club, Main Street Cafe, The Riot Room, and The Record Bar with numerous Kansas City bands.

March 27th and 28th, Echoes went back into studio and recorded their new upcoming EP titled "The Long Goodnight" which was said to be released for online purchase only sometime within the upcoming summer. After months of anxiously awaiting, "The Long Goodnight" has been released on the iTunes store as well as Amazon.com for purchase. The band has also released all three of the new songs on their myspace for listening.

Echoes from Airplanes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're right you opened my eyes to
A beautiful world
So close I came to the dark side
To be rescued by you
It's dawn now, the suns coming home
To heat my bones and clear my head
I'm littered, scattered and jitters
I'm the best I've ever been

It's overrated, all we do
It's overrated, all we do

I owe you

I love you
And I trust you, that you'll love me too

Your rescue, my refuge
Your rescue, my refuge

I owe you
I love you

I trust you
That you'll love me too

Line by Line Meaning

You're right you opened my eyes to
You were right, you helped me see and understand

A beautiful world
The world around us is wonderful and special

So close I came to the dark side
I almost gave in to a negative, harmful path

To be rescued by you
But you helped me escape and saved me

It's dawn now, the suns coming home
Now it's morning, the sun is rising and starting a new day

To heat my bones and clear my head
Its warmth and light raise my energy and thoughts

I'm littered, scattered and jitters
I feel disorganized, nervous and restless

I'm the best I've ever been
Despite that, I am still improving and doing better

It's overrated, all we do
Many things we do are not as important as we make them out to be

I owe you
I am indebted to you for helping me

I love you
I have strong positive feelings for you
