[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.

Farewell Flight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are high all of the time
So do everyone a favor
And stay the hell away from her
It's true that for you I'm bad news
I'm just drunk all of the time
So do yourself a favor
All of my problems are melting away
Find new solutions everyday
I'll get myself out of this bind
By my own design, my own design
T, r, o, u, b, l, e
Yeah, we got what you're looking for
It's true that you, you always knew
That I'd be like this all the time
Don't blame yourself, don't say these words
Just stay the hell away from me
Honey, it's not too late for you
If you ask me, I'll tell the truth
It's not the things you want to hear
Oh baby, you're running out of time
Leave now before I change my mind
I'll tell you all you want to hear
All of my problems are melting away
Find new solutions everyday
I'll get myself out of this bind
By my own design, my own design
The lyrics of Farewell Flight's song Indianapolis is a story of a tumultuous relationship between two people who are both aware that they are bad news for each other, but instead of separating and moving on, they continue to attract each other like magnets. The song speaks about the toxic relationship and the consequences of staying in it. The opening lines of "It's true that you are bad news, you are high all of the time, so do everyone a favor, and stay the hell away from her" depicts the singer warning a man to stay away from a woman because he is bad news and is high and has been causing trouble. In return, they are warning him to not get into a relationship with a girl who deserves better than him.
The chorus of the song says "All of my problems are melting away, find new solutions every day. I'll get myself out of this bind by my design, my own design." This means that the person singing the song is aware of their problems and is addressing them with the intention of improving their life without involving another person. The lyrics suggest that the singer acknowledges the toxic and unhealthy relationship they have been in and is taking steps to address their problems and move on.
Overall, the song Indianapolis by Farewell Flight is a deeply introspective song that cautions us to be aware of the people we attract and to take responsibility for our choices to avoid toxic and harmful relationships.
