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).
Me Oh My
Five Iron Frenzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me oh my,
There's something happening in the sky.
I see my favorite face,
It chokes me up so fiercely,
And I'm filled with your light,
Soaked with your grace,
I'll dance all night,
There's something happening in the sky,
Me oh my!
I recall that I'm yours now I'm feeling fine,
Me oh my, you're mine.
I sense a coming reign,
A hand to hold the nations up in peace.
The sun smiles down and warms our hearts,
It's happening in the sky
Five Iron Frenzy's song Oh is a beautiful expression of the singer's devotion to a higher power. The opening lines acknowledge that something big is happening in the sky, which could be interpreted as a reference to the Second Coming or any similar event that holds a lot of spiritual significance. The singer then sees their "favorite face," which fills them with emotion and light. It's unclear who or what the favorite face represents, but it's clear that this entity has a powerful effect on the singer.
Throughout the rest of the song, the singer continues to express their devotion to the higher power. They feel soaked with grace and dance all night. They also sense a "coming reign" and a "hand to hold the nations up in peace." This could be interpreted as a prophecy of sorts, with the singer believing that the higher power is about to bring peace and prosperity to the world. The sun's warmth is also mentioned, which could represent the higher power's love and blessings.
