1. An alternative rock/post-hardcore band from Louisville, Kentucky, United States.
2. A rock band from Velika Gorica, Croatia.
3. A pop singer from Romania.
1. The roots of the band Emanuel go back to Jeffersonville, Indiana, a town located just outside of Louisville, Kentucky. After 14-year-old high school students Matt Breen and Bryan Whiteman met Anthony Brock and Mat Barber (who attended a rivalling school in their hometown) at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, the quartet decided to form the garage band Emanuel Nice in 1998. They recorded their rather inept eight-song debut EP Hi-Skool Trivia in December 1998. The CD was issued the following year through the German underground record label Roddog Records, which was run by friends of the band. In the following years, while still in high school, Emanuel Nice appeared on two split records — one with New Jersey's already renowned Lanemeyer, another with the German punk band Colourbone — before recording their second EP, Wait, in 2002. However, none of the releases triggered the desired local stardom.
In 2004, Emanuel shortened their band name, in conjunction with the musical renovation they underwent. Even though their line-up never changed throughout the six years since the band's formation, their sound evolved drastically from "poppy and terrible, it's kind of embarrassing", as singer/guitarist Breen put it,[1] to a darker, more mature blend of indie and emo genres. With cynical lyrics and aggressive guitar melodies, the band's new sound landed them a record deal with Vagrant Records, who released their debut album Soundtrack to a Headrush in March 2005.
In March 2006, Emanuel played an arena tour of the US supporting 30 Seconds to Mars with Aiden and Keating.
In January 2007, the band entered the studio to begin recording the follow-up to Soundtrack to a Headrush, titled Black Earth Tiger. The album was released on the 28th of August, 2007.
Breen was originally going to be the singer for Brian Deneeve, former guitarist of From Autumn To Ashes' new project called Summer Law, but the project has since been scrapped. After many problems such as debt, band tension, lack of promotion/record sales and other problems, Matt Breen has stated that he is 'writing a lot' for a future Emanuel release. He also mentioned in a myspace blog that the band has their tour banner and equipment set up in a basement and they rehearse occasionally. The band is generally assumed by fans to be on indefinite hiatus though. It is rumored that Matt Breen and musician Devin Triplett are working on a new musical project. The bands website, Thisisemanuel.com, is shut down and is no longer a working website.
Members:
Matt Breen – Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Mat Barber – Lead guitar, backing vocals
Devin Triplett – Rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2005–2008)
Bryan Whiteman – Bass guitar
Anthony Brock – Drums
[1998-2008 Emanuel, US]

Thought It'd Be Easy
Emanuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make my mind take a shower
Around you
I thought it'd be easy to love someone else, but I'm
Running amuck, and I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I thought it'd be easy to fuck someone else, but I'm
Fuckin' this girl and I'm thinkin' 'bout you
Yeah-ooh, ooh-yeah, no
I thought I could do better on my own, but I
Needed your counsel
I thought I'd leave then I'd become better
But you make me better
You're good enough, oh yeah, yeah
You're good enough, yeah, ooh
And I changed around you
You make my mind take a shower
When I'm with you
Oh, you got me, baby, baby
I thought it'd be easy to love someone else, but I'm
Running amuck, and I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I thought it'd be easy to fuck someone else, but I'm
Fuckin' this girl and I'm thinkin' 'bout you
Yeah, hey, hey
You, you
You, yeah, yeah
In "Thought It'd Be Easy" by Emanuel, the lyrics explore the singer's struggle to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines, "When I change around you, You make my mind take a shower, Around you," indicate that being in the presence of the person they still have feelings for deeply affects their thoughts and emotions. The phrase "make my mind take a shower" suggests that being with this person brings clarity and a sense of cleansing to the singer's thoughts.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer thinking it would be easy to move on and be with someone else, both emotionally and physically, but they find themselves constantly thinking about the person they're trying to forget. The repetition of "but I'm" followed by the actions of running amuck and fucking someone else while thinking about them reveals the internal conflict and the difficulty of truly moving on. These actions are mere distractions that do not fulfill the emotional connection they still long for.
The second verse brings a new perspective, as the singer acknowledges that they thought they could do better on their own and become better without this person. However, they realize that they actually need their counsel and that being with them makes them a better version of themselves. The repetition of "You're good enough" emphasizes that the person they're longing for is worthy and sufficient, highlighting a sense of regret and perhaps a desire to reconcile.
Overall, "Thought It'd Be Easy" delves into the complexities of moving on from a past love and the internal struggle of craving emotional connection, even when trying to find it elsewhere. It captures the conflicting feelings of longing, regret, and the realization that the person they want to forget is ultimately the one who brings them the most growth and improvement.

@michaelkraemerman2009
It's not true love in my opinion. True love is about respecting and loving the other person as much as you love yourself.
Lying, manipulating (the things you are describing) are not true love.
People play hard to get and it tricks our brains into thinking we love them. (Kind of how we always thing the fruit on the highest vine is the sweetest, but of course it's not true).
I hope one day you'll find someone who respects and cares about you sincerely. And it won't be a flashy, bombastic love you see in the movies (which completely distort our notions of love and healthy relationships).
Keep looking up and things will get better. Always remember that you are worthy of someone who will love and respect you for who you are.
