1. A german post-rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are 3 bands with the name 'Frames'.
1. A german post-rock band
2. A Progressive Doom metal band from Great Falls, Montana
3. An indie rock / emo band from Richmond, VA.
1. Since fall of 2007 frames create songs that take the listener on a trip through landscapes of overwhelmingly epic, thrillingly gloomy, and refreshingly clear nature. Songs without words, using only what music is capable of.
Elements of Post-Rock, Progressive Rock, Alternative-Rock and Metal melt into a mixture described by german media as "something between Bombast-, Post- and New-Art-Rock".
After releasing their debut "124ep" in spring of 2009 via DIY, the relatively young (20-24) band received an unexpected amount of attention.
While the 6-track-E.P. was featured in over a dozen print- and online magazines, along with stunning reviews and even a europe-wide tv-feature, the german VISIONS magazine as well as the ROCK HARD magazine made it the "Demo of the Month".
Right now the band is writing new material and soon entering pre-production of their yet-to-title debut LP, recording this fall, as well as planning and booking the album-promotion-tour in 2010.
And of course the band is looking for a label to release that arising piece of music.
3. Frames is an emo-pop band based out of Richmond, VA. Founded by Sarah Phung in 2019 as a solo project, as of 2021 the band is a four-piece playing 90s-influenced indie rock.
Lay Me Down
Frames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I, I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I, I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done
And lay me down
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down
And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I, I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night
And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Where my father waits I will stay
So lay me down
And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down
The lyrics to Frames's song Lay Me Down express the idea of returning to someone after being away for a long time. The singer talks about how they will write letters to explain how they are currently feeling and how they will return what they took from this person before. The lyrics indicate that the singer wants to be laid down in the hallowed ground, where they will stay by the person's side. They also want to be with their father, who is waiting for them in the same hallowed ground.
The general interpretation of the song is that the singer is trying to reconnect and find comfort with someone they have been away from. The idea of being laid down in the hallowed ground may signify that the person wants to be buried with this particular individual in death, showing a deep connection and desire for them to be together forever. The lyrics "And if you wanna stay with me / Then let me know before it's light / I, I will recoil myself / Into the black and darkest night" further emphasise the singer's longing for this person's love.
In summary, the song is about a longing to return to someone after being away for a long time, and it reflects a deep desire for companionship, togetherness and even permanence in death.

Jesus, this is certainly in nostalgia flavour. No Disco and on the scroll it mentions Mic Christopher playing a gig. Ah them were the days...staying up late to watch No Disco!
@jenniferblake8751
Such a passionate song, I can imagine feeling that sad if ever I lost my husband, and best friend. Wow this guy was into some major feelings at 16. Excellent writer.
@TheJosieposie
Aaaah, miss No Disco days...
@mr__daly
Just heard this for the first time ever on the radio.
Class.

This songs remains for me one of the most beautiful I have heard. It seems to link me into the Ireland of my ancestors in some mystical way?!

For those asking what the song is about... in a Live version, he talks about it being about gathering old love letters (from an ended relationship) and burning the letters together. So, to me.. it talks about the end of a relationship and letting go of the "earthly" tangible aspects of it. But, knowing that the relationship was indeed special and sacred.

Heard it in The Cake Eaters. LOVE both the movie and this song! Amazing..
@focuswrc10
I think Glen tells a couple of different stories from time to time. The one I heard was that it's about the great value of a simple life spent working everyday, coming home to the one you love and staying with them until the day you die when you'll be happy in your grave beside them.
