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 ↴

I'm everything you didn't know
Every place you couldn't go
The silver lining in your sky
The bitter sweetness in your eye
And you can't find
What you thought you had and lost it all
And you can't find...

You love you love you love
Everything about me
You love you love you love
The silhouette
You love you love you love
Everything you can't feel
You love you love you love
The silhouette

Shut me in or shut me out
A broken key there's no way out
Take my pride or take a fall
Take a bow, I don't show it all
And you can't light
A fire when the flames are all burned out
No you can't light...

You love you love you love
Everything about me
You love you love you love
The silhouette
You love you love you love
Everything you can't feel
You love you love you love
The silhouette

You love you love you love
Everything about me
You love you love you love
The silhouette

The silhouette
The silhouette
