1. An indie/rock/alternative group from Anderson, IN.
2. An alternative rock band from southern California.
3. 90emo/ hardcore band from Switzerland. Formed in 1994.
1. Hailing from Anderson, IN is the 4 man indie/rock/alternative band Ferguson. An alternative to most radio-driven pop that is still accessible to the normal listener, Ferguson is a mixture of melancholy atmosphere with positive energy in a classic four-piece format.
Much like every other band in high school, Ferguson started out as a garage band (well, in their case, it was a basement). It started out as four friends hanging out. While most guys would be playing video games, they wrote songs and played music together. Ferguson has now been together for approximately three years, and has started their career by playing shows across central Indiana and the midwest.
A full-length record entitled “Easier” was released by Ferguson in September of 2007, followed by a 6 song EP entitled "A House Divided" that was released in November of 2008, both of which are available on iTunes.
2. Ferguson/Band was a Southern California based alternative rock band. With chains, whips, knives, whistles, and an obscenely over sized trampoline, the group effortlessly sets themselves sets themselves apart from the crowd. The experience one gets when listening to the group parallels that of a drug induced hallucination gone horribly wrong. At no point in their musical experimentations has anyone been able to classify them as "main-stream" or "unoriginal." In conclusion, it is the writer's great pleasure to announce that Ferguson is better than sex."
Ferguson was formed at the end of the Summer of 2005 and quickly became the main musical focus of each individual in the group. Ferguson released a few independent tracks and played some dazzling shows. The band is no longer active.
3. Ferguson/Rapper
Ferguson, is a 20 year old Hip Hop artist born and raised in Toronto Canada. Ferguson, the youngest of three, always knew he was different from his siblings. While they focused on sports and education, Ferguson chose an alternate path, to pursue music. His love for Hip Hop began at the tender age of nine when he started listening to influential artists like 50 Cent, Eminem, Tupac and Biggie. Their music inspired Ferguson to begin recording his own music. Despite childhood illnesses and non believers, he continued to make music and follow his dream.
Ferguson's career came to a sudden halt when he was forced to stop recording due to a life threatening experience. In 2008 after the encouraging words, "Don't give up, you are talented" by a very close friend and supporter, Ferguson jumped back into the game.
He is currently working on the highly anticipated mixtape, "Second Best" Hosted by DJ Gutta, which will be available online for free download February 2012
Kent
Ferguson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been dealing with the feeling of a frightened boy and contrite heart; I wonder if I'd ever show you how.
I know it seemed so easy to get what you wanted.
But, I don't think I have it in me.
And I'm sorry.
I remember pushing softly, never wanting more than you could take. I was starving of what wasn't mine.
But, you could see me masquerading, planning all the moves I needed to make. You could see right through my lithe design.
I know it seemed so easy to get what you wanted.
But, I don't think I have it in me.
I know I've ruined everything you wanted to be.
And I'm sorry.
I can understand you now. I know why you're running away.
At least, you know that I'm hurting.
I'm hurting everyday. (Don't you know that I'm sorry?)
I'm sorry.
I can see the clouds are parting. I can see the bright and golden sun. I can sit and watch it from afar.
I can see the moon approaching, shedding all it's light on everyone. I can see the sky turn into stars.
I know it seemed so easy to get what you wanted.
But, I don't think I have it in me.
I know I've ruined everything you wanted to be.
And I'm sorry.
In Ferguson's song "Kent," the lyrics speak of a relationship that has gone astray due to the singer's inability to provide their partner with the love and support they need. The first verse speaks of the partner's search for meaning and a deeper connection as they feel like they need more than what the singer has to offer. On the other hand, the singer is struggling with his own demons, feeling like a "frightened boy" with a "contrite heart." He wonders whether he'll ever be able to give his partner what they need.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I know it seemed so easy to get what you wanted" and reinforces the idea that the singer has failed his partner. They feel responsible for ruining their partner's dream and being unable to provide them with what they want. The second verse reveals that the singer was not honest with his partner about his feelings and intentions. He was manipulating the situation to get what he wanted, but his partner could see right through his plans. The song ends with the singer realizing his mistake and asking for forgiveness.
Overall, "Kent" is a melancholic song that speaks of the struggles we face in our relationships. It highlights the importance of honesty and communication in any relationship and reminds us that mistakes can be made, but forgiveness must be sought.
