While they were together they produced only one album, "In the Name of Progress." It displayed an uncommon range of sound--the sound could be loosely decribed as alternative but from track to track style blurred. Here it was more punk, there was a metal piece and off to the side and to the left acoustic instrumentals and borderline emo. The one thing that was consistent was the unmitigated and sincere passion evident in Fingertight's music; this was even more apparent in their live shows.

Magical
Fingertight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For you...

In a minute we'll be sitting at the bar,
And for an instant we'll forget who we are
And it happens, and when it does it's magical
And it happened, and when it does it's mystical

'Cause I'm not afraid, anymore

'Cause I can feel you next to me
I'm not afraid anymore

And in a time when innocence should be my right
I'm in a battle between alcohol and my life
And I still feel like you're here with me, and it's magical

'Cause I'm not afraid, anymore
'Cause I can feel you next to me
I'm not afraid anymore

And if we run without our confidence
My confidence is already lost
And if we run without our confidence...
My world is spinning all around,
And if we run...

'Cause I'm not afraid, anymore
'Cause I can feel you next to me
I'm not afraid anymore

'Cause I'm not afraid, anymore

'Cause I can feel you next to me
I'm not afraid anymore

However, even in their lowest moments, the presence of the other person is still present and provides a sense of comfort. The bridge then touches on the concept of confidence and how running away from problems can only exacerbate them. Despite this, the chorus repeats the idea of finding strength and courage through the presence of another person.

Overall, the lyrics to Magical capture the complexities of finding solace in others, both through the feelings of joy and escapism, as well as the more difficult moments of battling inner demons.
