The band is notably influenced both by 90s post-grunge as well as by 80s dirty hard rock and glam metal, with several critics noting their debt to Guns n' Roses. Cut to almost five years later after Winkler met the guys, and Hinder built a healthy regional following. They released an independent album, titled 'Far From Close', which sold out several thousands of copies. The band was the object of an honest-to-goodness bidding war between three different major labels that resulted in its major label debut, titled 'Extreme Behavior', coming out to much commercial success in 2005.
True to the group's origins in Austin Winkler's cover band, Hinder has released several covers of songs that have inspired the band. Examples include "Bed of Roses" (by Bon Jovi), "Born to be Wild" (by Steppenwolf), "Take Me Home Tonight" (by Eddie Money), and "Thunderstruck" (by AC/DC). Their debut album included the huge hit (and perhaps their best known original song) "Lips Of An Angel", and said album has been triple-platinum certified by the RIAA.
Although receiving mixed to negative critical reviews for 'Extreme Behavior', setting up a pattern for them as being critical whipping boys, "Lips of an Angel" was a rock smash. It topped both the Top 40 Pop Radio Chart and the Digital Download Chart, also putting the group on the top of multiple radio, video and digital charts including Yahoo, iTunes, and MSN. Facing near impossible expectations put on them, with rambunctious live performances stoking the flames, Hinder's sophomore album, 'Take It To The Limit', proved somewhat of a commercial disappointment by comparison. However, the group still moved hundreds of thousands of records and featured a strong glam metal-esque sound that many fans loved.
The band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2007. After the release of 'Take It To The Limit' in 2008 and 'All American Nightmare' in 2010, though, issues between frontman Winkler and the rest of the band had taken their toll. Finally, on November 20, 2013, it was announced via Loudwire that the band had parted ways with Winkler, the statement saying that there was no animosity towards him but that they just felt it was time to move on. The former Hinder singer has had struggles placing him in rehab before. Saving Abel’s Jared Weeks has often played with the re-jiggered group, and their future is somewhat uncertain though with more studio material promised as of early 2015 (with ex-producer Marshal Dutton being their current singer).

Here Without you
Hinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper
Cause something's changed
You've been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Called you up cause it's been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together
Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I just wanna be alone tonight,
I just wanna take a little breather.
The lyrics to Hinder's song Without You are about a couple who have been constantly fighting and the singer finally reaches the point where they realize they want to be alone and move on from the relationship. The first verse details the singer's desire to have some time alone and to take a step back from their toxic relationship. The second verse describes how the couple has grown apart and that they were never meant to be together. The chorus emphasizes the singer's newfound freedom and how they are now able to enjoy life more without the other person. The final repeating 'Without You' at the end of the song serves to emphasize the sense of relief and newfound independence.
The lyrics to this song have resonated with many listeners because it deals with the universal experience of going through breakups. It represents the sense of heartache and sadness that often comes with the end of a relationship, but also the hope that things will get better in the future. Hinder's rock style and powerful vocals also contribute to the song's overall emotional impact.
Line by Line Meaning
I just wanna be alone tonight
I want to spend some time by myself without any company tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
I need a small break to clear my mind and relax
Cause lately all we do is fight
We have been arguing a lot recently
And every time it cuts me deeper
These fights are taking a toll on me emotionally
Cause something's changed
Something has happened or is different now
You've been acting so strange
Your behavior has been unusual or out of character
And its taking its toll on me
It's having a negative effect on me
Its safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
I'm ready for you to go and leave this situation behind
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
I enjoy life more now that you're not here to bring me down
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I have a new perspective on myself without your influence
I didn't wanna believe it then
In the past, I refused to accept this truth
But it all worked out in the end
Things turned out fine despite my initial reaction
When I watched you walk away
Seeing you leave was a turning point for me
Well I never thought id say
I never expected to feel this way
I'm fine
I'm doing well without you
Called you up cause it's been long enough
I contacted you after a long time had passed
And you said that you were so much better
You claimed to be doing well without me
We have done a lot of growing up
We have both matured and changed over time
We were never meant to be together
Our relationship was never meant to work out
Without you
My life has improved since you left
I just wanna be alone tonight
Once again, I prefer to spend some time by myself
Without you
Overall, I am better off without you in my life
Without you
I am happier and more content without your presence
Without you
You have not been missed in my life

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it's only you and me, yeah
The miles just keep rolling
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
Oh yeah, yeah
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me, yeah
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard, but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard, but it won't take away my love
Whoa, oh, oh
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me
Yeah
Oh, yeah

My dad used to play his guitar and sing this song to me when I had to go to his house late at night because my mom was having parties and doing drugs (shes sober now). He passed away March 9th 2018, every time I hear this song it brings back so many memories and it hurts so bad to know he's gone. I'm happy he isnt hurting anymore, I miss him so much. His last words were "I love you."
@annemarkel4792
I hope that you are okay!
@trentandrews1915
Its sad that he's gone to his eternal rest, but at least he was there to make those memories when u needed him most...
@daniellehoss9188
At least he's not in pain anymore and he was there for you through thick and thin that's what dad's are for. Stay strong for him he needs you to be strong he wants you to grieve, but he also wants you to be happy. I lost someone this year too
