1.Far is a band from Sacramento, USA, spawned from the same local scene as the Deftones, their former touring partners.
2.Far is a band from Serbia, widely known as the performers of the soundtrack 'Sve sto zelim u ovom trenutku' from the TV series 'Sivi Dom' - track on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOeMr6HubJI
1. After a number of local releases including their first demo tape Sweat A River , Live No Lies (1991) and an album Listening Game (1992) they signed to Epic/Immortal Records and released their first major record, Tin Cans With Strings To You.
Their second album, Water & Solutions, was released in 1998 and attracted a cult following. The more melodic sound showcased on this album is increasingly cited as an influence on present-day emo rock bands by the rock press, ie: Thursday, Biffy Clyro, Jimmy Eat World. Certainly it was a departure from their earlier, much more hardcore sound (although it is still far from the emo-pop that it would quickly come to inspire).
Since their 1999 split, the former members of Far have been involved in a number of projects, often quite experimental in nature. Frontman Jonah Matranga especially went on to form the now defunct band New End Original and continue his solo project Onelinedrawing. Matranga "broke up" Onelinedrawing in August of 2004. In 2005 the singer's new band Gratitude released their debut self-titled record on Atlantic Records. Gratitude however called it a day towards the end of 2005, playing their last US Tour before splitting in December 2005.
In 2008 the band reformed and toured the UK with a new single being posted on their Myspace. On March 2nd 2009, Vagrant announced that they had signed Far, and that the would be releasing their fifth studio, titled At Night We Live, through them in 2010.
In 2010 lead singer Jonah Matranga revealed in an interview that Far had once again split.
Sorrow
Far Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"I've never been through it,
The deaths the stuff that make us old enough."
Old enough to love a boy whose name I still don't know.
We traded voices, blurted accidents.
Brutal winter froze through spring's slow crawl.
In The summers burn, the impending fall.
In "Sorrow's End" by Far, the lyrics describe the singer's journey towards adulthood and the harsh realities of life that come with it. The opening line "I used to think, 'I've never been through it,'" suggests a naïve outlook on life and a false sense of invincibility. The subsequent lines about death and aging demonstrate a growing awareness of life's fragility and the inevitability of mortality.
The song then delves into the singer's romantic experiences, specifically a relationship with a boy whose name she does not know. The line "We traded voices, blurted accidents" implies a certain level of intimacy and vulnerability in their relationship. However, this relationship is contextualized within the seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall - which represent the ever-changing nature of life and the passing of time.
Overall, "Sorrow's End" is a poignant reflection on growing up, grappling with mortality, and experiencing a range of emotions that come with the passage of time.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to think,
In the past, I held the belief that
"I've never been through it,
"I have not personally experienced
The deaths the stuff that make us old enough."
The loss of loved ones is what makes us mature.
Old enough to love a boy whose name I still don't know.
Once mature enough, we become capable of falling in love with someone even if we don't know their name.
We traded voices, blurted accidents.
We switched roles, and confessed unintentionally.
Brutal winter froze through spring's slow crawl.
Winter's harshness persisted and made time drag on slowly like the pace of spring.
In The summers burn, the impending fall.
During the sweltering heat of summer, we anticipate the coming autumn.
