[They] want to play music all year and meet cool people and make some money and not live with [their] parents. Anything you can do to help with those four things would be greatly appreciated. Especially the third one.
3 records (+1 in the works), nearly 500 shows in 40+ states in under 4 years. [They've] been everywhere, except for the places we're on our way to.
This is us:
Luke - Lead vocals, guitar, piano. Has successfully wrestled polar bears on two separate continents (yes, two!). Supposedly, has received his acceptance letter from Hogwarts, even though the school year has already started. Authenticity of letter has yet to be verified. Can maneuver a van and trailer in reverse faster than Jason Bourne in a Mini Cooper on a Parisian side street. Wins gold medals for outstanding facial hair. Once lost his cell phone 42 times in one day.
Marc- Drums, muscle. Has several tattoos that make him look cooler than everyone else in the band (not that it’s hard to do). Still has health insurance. When sporting a stache, he brings forth the ghost of Freddie Mercury. Voted “Most Likely To Not Fail At Life” by the other members in his band. Believes in and is afraid of "Cubicle Trolls". Expert on centaurs.
Robbe- Bass. Real into sleeping. Came in second place on Nickelodeon’s Global Guts after being blinded by a glitter storm (aka snow blizzard) and hitting his opponent’s actuator at the top of the Super Aggro Crag. Still has a crush on Mo, the referee. Secretly wants to be a speed-cuber (someone who can do a Rubik's cube in like 15 seconds). Will never have an actual girlfriend because of that last sentence. Has a pretty good vertical jump.
Rabbit- Lead guitar, mandolin, background vocals. Good at everything, especially eating candy and drinking Mountain Dew. Can impersonate Nicholas Cage better than Nicholas Cage can impersonate himself or anyone else for that matter. Can also accurately identify almost any make and type of ink pens while blindfolded (this is not a joke). Has great posture.
First Encounters
Farewell Flight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind the gap as we step on the elevator, where your skin is milky-white
I am your night off
I am your drive home
I am the cool between your sheets
I am your first pick
I'll be your last kiss
In my arms, you'll never know defeat
Hear me out
Hear me now
Pushing 20
Approaching 60 at the on-ramp
Feeling sheepish at the signals I sent
I'll meet your fingers at the gearshift
Your palms are sweaty
It was done with the fullest intent
Tiny ions press into one another, as your lips press into mine
The song First Encounters by Farewell Flight talks about the feeling of falling in love for the first time. The opening lines, "Tiny ions bounce off one another, making fluorescent light," set the tone for the song. The image of tiny ions bouncing off each other represents the chemistry and attraction between two people. The next line, "Mind the gap as we step on the elevator, where your skin is milky-white," talks about the nervousness and excitement of being close to someone you're attracted to for the first time.
The song then goes on to describe how the singer becomes everything for the person they're falling in love with. "I am your night off, I am your drive home, I am the cool between your sheets," all speak to the idea that the singer is the one who the other person turns to for comfort and solace. The chorus talks about the singer being the other person's first and last love, their elegant, life-escape procedure. The closing lines, "Tiny ions press into one another, as your lips press into mine," reaffirm the chemistry and connection between the two people.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the feelings of falling in love for the first time. It captures the excitement, nervousness, and all-consuming nature of the experience.

I love the end where the natives start roasting the others for shit singing. Just goes to show how we may live in two different worlds, but we are also so much alike in ways.

@Leonardo Junel imagine showing them our music

Can you imagine if they heard our music? It drives me insane hearing it.
I couldn't subject someone from a remote tribe to that kind of trauma :(

1:40 - It's crazy... I'm speechless. It's like, a journey through time with a video camera. It's unbelievable. I can't stop watching again and again this "first meeting". It's like, I'm watching a man from 2018 years ago captured on camera. He is really young and kinda nervous but "friendly". I also love their language and the way he is communicate. It's really intriguing and fascinating!
