Ka e Dani suonavano pop in una cantina di Legnano, mentre Ste e Pedro facevano grunge. Nel 2000 si conoscono grazie all'Accademia della Musica e decidono di suonare insieme.
I Finley (classe 1985) iniziano quindi la loro gavetta come tutti i nuovi gruppi: sala prove, concorsi, supporter, feste. Con le prove e le esibizioni live il loro sound acquista un carattere originale che porta a battezzare il loro genere "hard pop" , musica con molta energia e voci che creano linee melodiche originali. Hanno deciso di definirlo così perché loro suonano un punk più melodico e naturalmente ci sarebbero state critiche come l'essere definita musica commerciale, e insulti perché l'avrebbero definita punk.
Nel 2004 frequentano insieme l'Università e decidono, tra una lezione e l'altra, di incidere il demo di "Make up your own mind" per poi inviarlo a case discografiche ed etichette indipendenti. Con Marco Lamanna (amico e regista) realizzano anche il video del brano. Diversi provini inviati, ma nessuna risposta. Nel 2005 vengono contattati da Claudio Cecchetto che aveva visto il video in uno studio di registrazione e firmano il loro primo contratto discografico. Realizzano "Tutto è possibile" la versione italiana di "Make up your own mind" per pubblicare a novembre 2005 il loro cd singolo di debutto con Capitol/EMI. Si comincia a parlare dei Finley.
Il singolo "Tutto è possibile" entra nella classifica di vendita in Italia e il video realizzato da Gaetano Morbioli è costantemente nella Top Ten di TRL (MTV). Da Febbraio 2006 inizia anche il "Tour Live" che toccherà i Clubs di tutta Italia.
Tutte le 16 canzoni dell'album sono composte dai Finley e la produzione musicale è stata affidata a Daniele Persoglio, da sempre collaboratore della Band, considerato dai ragazzi il quinto Finley.
Con "Tutto è possibile" la musica italiana diventa internazionale: contiene 8 brani in italiano ed anche le rispettive versioni in lingua inglese. Fanno eccezione "Fumo e Cenere" scritto solo in Italiano e "No Way out" solo in inglese.
Il primo album dei Finley "TUTTO È POSSIBILE" viene pubblicato il 31 Marzo 2006 (CAPITOL - EMI Music). Contiene brani in italiano e in inglese. A luglio viene pubblicata la "SPECIAL EDITION" che contiene anche il brano "Dentro alla scatola" con Mondo Marcio. L'Album entra nella TOP 10 degli album più venduti in Italia.
Horizon
Finley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in a land one step from paradise,
so far away from here.
And I'm gonna tell you the story of our lives,
lot of years flying high and protecting
the only friend that matters.
Now something's broken the time.
We'll fix everything, chase the light.
On the horizon we're flying
while as we lead their lives.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
that we're not at home.
On the edge of the world
I never asked for something more.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
we're not alone.
I thought our friendship was stronger than steel.
Precious things are fragile as a breath of wind.
They own me too easily.
Now something's broken the time.
We'll fix everything chasee the light.
On the horizon we're flying
while as we lead their lives.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
that we're not at home.
On the edge of the world
I never asked for something more.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
we're not alone.
Every time you feel alone.
Every time you think it's good.
And at night, chase the light.
And at night, chase their lives.
On the horizon we're flying
while as we lead their lives.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
that we're not at home.
On the edge of the world
I never asked for something more.
And we feel, and we scream, we believe
we're not alone.

Essentially, the song speaks of the hope that allows one to believe in friendship despite differences and challenging times.
