2) Fono is a British rock band. After forming in London in mid-1996 (called 'Seven' at the time), the band had not performed live, but instead put their time into recording a 10-song demo. After submitting a winning entry to a contest, they played their first live show alongside Bon Jovi at the Milton Keynes Bowl in front of 50,000 people.
The band released their first studio album "Goesaroundcomesaround" in August of 1999. The album fared well with critics and, alongside their intense live shows, won them a devoted following. After touring for a couple years alongside such bands as the Goo Goo Dolls and Tonic, Fono relocated to the United States and gained 2 more members.
Shortly before completing their followup album in October of 2003, Fono's studio was burnt to the ground in the Californian wildfires. Everything was lost (including the band's gear, studio equipment, and the computers which held all the data for the new project).
Not willing to be defeated, Fono re-recorded the project; and EP entitled "The Way That You Use It" and released it in 2004.
Their latest album is called "Too Broken To Break" and is publicly available on their official website http://www.fono.net/

Fono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hand, always comes to guide me
We rise and we fall
We stand one and all
We reach for the skies
But in your eyes
You go, you let it all fade away
You let it all go
Your hope, bring me through this sorrow
You face, come to my tomorrow
We rise and we fall
We stand one and all
We reach for the skies
But in your eyes
You go, you let it all fade away
You let it all drift away
You let it all go
We're seeing it happen
The world that you build
You're watching your empire come crashing down
We're seeing it happen
Believing in truth
Only God can turn it around
You go, you let it all fade away
You let it all drift away
You let it all go
You go, you let it all fade away
You let it all drift away
You let it all go
The lyrics to Fono's song "Drift Away" are about finding solace and guidance in a higher power, likely in reference to God. The opening lines, "My Lord, sweeter are these feelings, Your hand, always comes to guide me" suggest a close relationship with a divine entity, where the singer feels comforted by their presence and knows that they can rely on them to provide direction in their life.
The chorus speaks to the ebb and flow of life and how, despite our best efforts to reach for the skies and achieve our goals, sometimes it's necessary to let go and allow things to fade away. This idea is reinforced by the repetition of the lines, "You go, you let it all fade away, You let it all drift away, You let it all go". The verses continue with the theme of relying on a higher power to get through difficult times, with lines like "Your hope, bring me through this sorrow, You face, come to my tomorrow".
The bridge brings in a more worldly perspective, mentioning the fall of an empire and the need for truth and faith in God to turn things around. Overall, "Drift Away" is a song about finding comfort and guidance in something greater than ourselves, whether that be a God or some other form of spirituality.
