[1.] Fever Fever is … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Fever Fever.
[1.] Fever Fever is an alternative/atmospheric rock band out of Columbus, OH.
Recently signed to Slospeak Records after forming in 2005, Fever Fever's initial goal of making a record finally came true this summer. They recorded their full-length label debut with Chad Howat of Paper Route, Mark Townsend (Relient K, House of Heroes) and Kyle Monroe (Golden Youth). This innovative combination of talent pushed the band to think outside the box and continually try new things. The finished product includes tracks that showcase the band's innovative twist on timeless indie rock and roll. It's organic and creative, featuring unconventional instruments such as a harmonium and vibraphone.
Fever Fever writes music that everyone, no matter who they are, can connect to. They strive to bring listeners to a timeless place. They create art that fits the popular and indie scene and, hopefully, will fit five years from now. The band's live performance captures this with dynamic lights, a vintage and homey atmosphere and compelling stage presence. It's these same aspects that have propelled them forward in the licensing industry. Each song is written to encapsulate an emotion or relatable scene and audibly describe it to listeners. The experience is cinematic. It's big, passionate and at times even hints at aspects of ethnic and world music. Overall, Fever Fever is making strides in the music scene. And their upcoming label debut, Aftermath, will continue to break ground and leave a lasting impression.
Regarding the new album, the band states, "Creating Aftermath has been the most fun, taken the most work, and has been the biggest struggle that we've had as a band. Making something that you're proud of and working with your best friends is such a challenge because we hold each other to the highest standards. We are so proud of this record and so proud of everybody who has worked on it with us."
[2.] Norwich based three-piece Fever Fever have been busy making their mark on the last 12 months with BBC Introducing and SXSW appearances earning a string of 5 star reviews.
Made up of Rosie, Ellie and Smit, their brand of ferocious art-punk is urgent and exhilarating, serving up pounding drums, molten guitar riffs and acerbic vocals that are precision-made to make DIY idealists lose their minds.
Madness
Fever Fever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show through
My clothes
They are more than just skins and bones
This smile
Is worn
Cracked and torn
This laugh
You hear
Sounds more
A cry to end this war
My heart
Is in pieces
On the floor
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
Everything comes and goes
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
These eyes
Give me
Away
And betray the truth I′ve made
My heart
Is in pieces
On the floor
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
Everything comes and goes
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
Tragic turns into madness
Until my madness turns into magic
But I need more than this
More than tricks
I need something miraculous
Tragic turns into madness
Until my madness turns into magic
But I need more than this
More than tricks
I need something miraculous
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
Everything comes and goes
Take it slow beautiful
Madness inside my soul
Everything comes and goes
The lyrics to Fever Fever’s “Madness” convey the feeling of being trapped in one’s own mind and struggling with mental instability. The singer talks about how they are unable to hide their internal struggles, which are reflected in their appearance and behaviors. They describe their smile as “cracked and torn” and their laughter as a “cry to end this war” within themselves. The singer’s heart is shattered and lying on the floor, indicating a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The chorus encourages the listener to take everything slowly and to acknowledge the madness that exists within their own soul. The lyrics suggest that this madness is natural and normal, but it can be overwhelming at times. The repetition of the phrase “Take it slow beautiful / Madness inside my soul / Everything comes and goes” emphasizes the idea that these feelings are temporary and that the singer is not alone in experiencing them.
The second verse emphasizes the struggle between what one presents to the outside world and what they are truly feeling internally. The singer acknowledges that their eyes give away the truth they are trying to hide, and that their heart is in pieces on the floor. The final lines of the song express a desire for something more than just temporary relief from the madness, but something truly miraculous.
