Five Iron Frenzy started as a local side-project of Reese, Keith, Micah, and Scott's band Exhumator. Although the original intent was for the band to stay local and help support the local music scene, Five Iron Frenzy (FIF, or Five Iron) signed to Frank Tate's 5 Minute Walk records in 1995 and was touring nationally within a year. They reached the peak of their fame around 2000, with the release of All The Hype That Money Can Buy. They were known for dressing up in wacky costumes and fundraising for social causes. In December 2002, they announced that they would be breaking up after a final tour. They played the final show of the tour on November 22, 2003 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, which was recorded for The End Is Here (disc 2) (this disc features that show in its entirety and was sold with the band's album, The End is Near). This show had an attendance of over 4,000 people.
On November 22, 2011, they announced via social media outlets and a week-long online scavenger hunt that they were recording a new album. The entire project was crowd funded in under an hour and met with a reunion show and touring. The results of the endeavor, Engine of a Million Plots, was released on November 26th, 2013. All members of the 2003 lineup participated in the project, with the exception of bassist Keith Hoerig, who was replaced by original guitarist Scott Kerr (who had left the band in 1998).
Everywhere I Go
Five Iron Frenzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh so sure to find somebody who'll
Never go
How could I know
None I'd found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind are yours
Everywhere I go I see your face through the crowd
Everywhere I go I hear your voice clear and loud
Everywhere I go you are the light that I seek
Everywhere I go you have found me
Where could my heart go
Where you wouldn't be
Where you wouldn't know to find me?
Far, far from here
Still you are near
Still you are near to me
And I see I have seen you in the morning
In the guiding light you hold me
Closer than the air around me
You surround me always.
The song Everywhere I Go by Five Iron Frenzy is about a person who was wasting their time with others, trying to find someone who would never leave them. However, they soon realized that none of the people they had found were true and could not compare to the one they truly loved, which they acknowledge as 'love divine’. The person then goes on to explain that everywhere they go, they see the face of their loved one through the crowd and hear their voice loud and clear. Furthermore, they explain how their loved one is the light that they seek, and that no matter how far they may go, their loved one is always near to them, guiding them towards the right path. The person realizes that they have seen their loved one in the morning, and that they are closer than the air around them, constantly surrounding them.
The lyrics of the song speak volumes about the depth of love and the journey towards finding true love. The song highlights the idea that true love cannot be found through just anyone, but with the one person who is meant to be with you. The mention of finding the loved one's face through the crowd is a poetic way of highlighting how their loved one stands out in every situation, and the use of the word "divine" makes it clear that this relationship is not like any other.
