The original release of Embient's 'For What It's Worth' hit local airwaves in Spring of 2005 on KUPD's Red Radio Underground. With fan favorites such as 'Without You' and 'Dynamics' this EP caught the ear of many listeners. Brian Meyer and Seth Terrillion took the stage as bassist and drummer to complete this original lineup of musicians. The four have performed in many Arizona venues such as Alice Cooperstown, Venue of Scottsdale, Mardi Gras, Neckbeards, and Modified. After many months of great, energetic performances, bassist Brian Meyer left the band for personal reasons. Good friend of the band Chris Satterlund soon took the stage as bassist and brought a vital ingredient to the the band - his pure insanity. Satterlund's songwriting ideas and image greatly influenced and defined the rock sound that Embient represents.
Embient's first full length album ' A Way Of Life' hit the public in January of 2006. Through the internet, word of mouth and CD distribution, this debut full length cd had easily reached tens of thousands of listeners across the country. The wildfire of music that the four had set could not be extinguished. The band had started to become known for its highly energetic live performances and free music policy.
The followings seemed to drastically expand after the band's first few showcases of the new material. Months passed as the four worked diligently to achieve progress, but it was soon to be mutually decided that Embient's percussion section was to be replaced due to conflicting values in musical interest.
The man they call Smitty was the brand new piece to the band. His incredibly fast chops and dedicated leadership role clicked with the band immediately. Bringing all the right sounds to the mix, Embient had finally started becoming the sound they had the potential to be. Stronger and more versatile then ever, Embient is currently working on a brand new untitled EP. The future of this rock project looks promising, as it continues to grow and improve over time.

The decency portrayed in, this story, this story
It's burning energy
This pain inside of me
Don't wanna fall back on the whole idea
You wanna break through from these walls that surround you
So you can get so, so far away
(x2)
It's driving me up the wall, this constant fade of my stride
I'm losing hope as I read, this story, this story
It's burning energy
This pain inside of me
Don't wanna lose out on the games you should win
Don't wanna fall back on the whole idea
You wanna break through from these walls that surround you
So you can get so, so far away
(x2)
You dipped your hand onto the flame
(It burns me, It burns me)
(x8)
Don't wanna lose out on the games you should win
Don't wanna fall back on the whole idea
You wanna break through from these walls that surround you
So you can get so, so far away
(x2)
Read me a new story
(It's burning energy)
Read me a new story
(This pain inside me)
(x2)
The lyrics in Embient's song "Story" suggest that the singer is feeling powerless and ashamed, and that this is the main blockade in their life. The pain inside of them is burning with energy, and they express a desire to not lose out on the games they should win, but to break through the walls that surround them so that they can get far away. They experience a constant loss of stride and a fading of hope, which they attribute to the story they have been reading. The repetition of the phrase "this story" suggests that the story is a metaphor for something in the singer's life, which is causing them distress and holding them back. In the end, they express a desire for a new story, one that will give them strength and help them move forward.

Incredible score! 4everfreebrony is the PERFECT choice.
Hope this song is used in either the opening credits of the final release, or the ending. It's too good to JUST be in the end credits with a black background.
