Bub also recruited his former drum teacher, Dave, asking if he'd like to join. Dave was hesitant at first because of personal obligations, but eventually became one of the most enthusiastic members of the band.
A little while later, Bub recruited Al, the best guitar soloist he knew. Al and Erik had briefly been in a band together in the years past. Al, wanting a creative outlet was attracted to the prospect. Dave and Al immediately hit it off, often breaking into jam sessions during practice. Their love of classic rock and blues was a huge bonding point.
After a couple of years of playing in Bub's basement, and trying out two other bass players, they finally landed Quinn. Quinn's love of Celtic Punk, Ska Punk and Punk music was refreshing. Young blood, quick fingers, and creative bass lines was just the kick in the pants that Every Third Sunday needed.
Originally formed by Bub and Erik in Cleveland, Ohio, Every Third Sunday is an up-tempo post-punk / alternative rock band with influences from punk, alternative rock and a touch of Pop music.
your way
Every Third Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What others say
You're only happy when you get your way
You like to brag
And put down
I hope some day you can turn it all around
Been that way from the very start
You don't care to hear
What others say
As long as it's done
Done your way
x2
Done
Your
Way
Done your way
You won't listen
To another's voice
You're self-absorbed 'cause that's your choice
You like to brag
And put down
I hope some day you can turn it all around
Been that way from the very start
A closed mind and a selfish heart
You don't care to hear
What others say
As long as it's done
Done your way
You don't care
What others do
You think the world revolves around you
You like to brag
And put down
I hope some day you can turn it all around
Been that way from the very start
A closed mind and a selfish heart
You don't care to hear
What others say
As long as it's done
Done your way

Done
Your
Way
Done your way
The lyrics to Every Third Sunday's song "Your Way" are a commentary on self-centeredness and the lack of consideration for others. The song addresses someone who is only concerned with getting their own way and has a tendency to belittle and dismiss others. The lyrics point out that this attitude has been present since the beginning and that this person has a closed mind and a selfish heart.
The repetition of the phrase "done your way" throughout the song emphasizes the theme of selfishness and highlights the central issue being addressed. The hope for change is expressed in the lines "I hope someday you can turn it all around," suggesting a desire for the person to become more considerate and empathetic.
The song overall is a stark reminder to listeners of the importance of being mindful of others and avoiding self-centeredness. It stresses the importance of empathy and understanding for those around us, and it challenges listeners to reflect on their own behavior and how they interact with others.
