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.

Wonder English
Eisley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I might be as so bold to say, you saved my life
I'm wondering, wonder English, oh I've found
Has no words to correctly describe
The way love sounds

So I will sing, hey la la
Hey, oh oh

Child, I will see you through a murderous comet
A sly little comment
Oh buttercup I will see you through a thousand
Bold soldiers with guns on their shoulders

You'll never grow older
Hey, la la
Hey, oh oh

Life, mankind, space, travel time
Oh demons in the dark
Oh I will never let them tear us apart
No I will never

Hey, la la
Hey, oh oh

Hey, la la
Hey, oh oh
