Eisley originally consisted of four siblings: Sherri DuPree-Bemis, Stacy King (nee Dupree), Chauntelle D’Agostino (nee Dupree), and Weston DuPree -- and their cousin, Garron DuPree. Stacy, Chauntelle, and Weston left the band in 2015, leaving the band as a duo of Sherri and Garron augmented by hired professionals.

The band began as an after-church endeavor when the DuPrees were young. The band was named Moss Eisley, after the Star Wars city Mos Eisley, but for legal reasons the "Moss" was dropped officially when they announced their tour opening for Coldplay. Now they're all grown up and have both headlined and opened for bands such as (but not limited to): Taking Back Sunday, Coldplay, Switchfoot, Snow Patrol, Brand New, Vedera, MUTEMATH, The Myriad, Hot Hot Heat and New Found Glory, and Say Anything, in which Sherri DuPree married lead singer Max Bemis. Featuring ethereal, soaring harmonies and dreamy imagery, Eisley has a sound all their own. They are, however, not without comparison or influence. Their sound echoes to dream pop and artists such as Cocteau Twins or Mazzy Star and to contemporary acts such as Denali.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eisley's song "Please" tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The singer has lost all respect, admiration, and trust for someone they were once following their heart for. The person they were with has revealed themselves to be unfaithful, and the singer is pleading for someone to tell them that everything will be alright. The pain of the situation is evident in the repeated pleas for the person not to leave them, not to get over them.

The second verse reveals that there was someone else who knew about the unfaithfulness and had tried to expose it. The singer had been blind to this initially but now understands the betrayal. The third verse brings in a new character who has also been hurt and has a black and blue past. However, the singer wants to make a new start with this person and promises to always be around. The song ends with the repeated pleas from earlier.

Overall, the song is a reflection of the pain and difficulties that come with relationships, especially when there is betrayal involved. The repeated pleas for someone to not leave them reveal a desperate desire for comfort and reassurance, even in the midst of heartbreak.
