1) Houston Summers, IV (born on October 26, 1983), professionally known as Houston, is an American R&B singer best known for the hit single "I Like That". Houston grew up in Los Angeles, California and performed on the streets with his friends who rapped, his niche was singing freestyle rap lyrics, since he discovered he had a real knack for it.
Summers comes from a very devout Christian background, and his family was open in their disdain for his choice to do "secular" music. His mother, La Tylano Houston, had forbade him as a child to partake in rap or any other music that wasn't affiliated with God. He was reportedly dealing with emotional troubles and it came to a head one night in early 2005 while he was on tour in London. Before a show, Summers suffered an emotional breakdown and reportedly tried to commit suicide by jumping from a window, while under the influence of PCP. When people in his entourage stopped him, he was restrained and locked in a first floor room. While in that room, Summers then proceeded to gouge his left eye out in a fit of rage. Shortly thereafter, Summers was taken off tour, and returned home to his family in Los Angeles. The Summers family, who were not in attendance during the incident, insists the entire situation was just an "accident", and that management is attempting to slander him. Houston was set to play Orion in the 2006 movie "Tournament of Dreams" but was not accounted for in the credits or casting roster.
2) Houston is: Freddie Allen and Hank Erix from Sweden - two young men joined together on a mission to create the music of their dreams. The music of Houston brings back memories of Survivor, Boston, Foreigner and Journey.
Tyeband have released four studio albums between 2010 & 2021 plus two studio covers albums.

2) After forming in 1999, Houston decided the only true home is on the long and twisted road of rock. They toured consistently throughout the Midwest, eastern, southern and western waysides, and have released three full length albums: "Overhead", "Head Like A Road Map", "Live on Fish Island" (an album of out-takes and b-sides), and their third independent album, "Bottom Of The Curve". Houston also released 3 EPs, including a split 7" (SuperFi Records) in the United Kingdom. Jeff Halland (guitar/vox) and Lane Soderberg (bass/vox) spent much of their formative years in the far Northern woodlands of Duluth, MN before moving to Minneapolis, MN in the early 90's. Early in their career, Soderberg and Halland devoted themselves to success in another band before eventually going separate ways and then reuniting a year later with Houston; ideas brewing. Ian Prince (drums) broke free from the confines of Michigan's upper peninsula to escape a life in the militia. Prince elects to not reveal the exact date of his arrival to Minneapolis, but shortly after he was introduced by a mutual friend to Soderberg and Halland and the trio was complete.
As their http://www.onesimpleband.com website address suggests, Houston modestly claims to be just that; the complexity extends far beyond the surface and will escape the cursory listen. Varied comparisons abound, this makes it difficult to see or hear the simplicity. Houston's sound and incredible live performance have attracted the attention of bands like: Hey Mercedes, House of Large Sizes, Shiner, and Local H, all of whom have taken Houston on tour throughout different parts of the country.
Houston (the band) split in 2004.

Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Red sequined dress that could kill anyone
The music moves you like good poetry
I wish I lacked this anonymity
It strikes me funny when you mouth the words
To "Am I Wrong" a song I've only heard
While sipping whiskey living out a lie
A perfect portrait hosting you and I
[Chorus]
A made up romance, my soliloquy will read
I know I'm lost again, my timing's off again
Because something lacks in your passing eyes
It's lust and libido
Why give up this opportunity?
Give it a go and maybe you will see
So take a chance it'll be alright
And that's all you've got to go on
You dance around my head throughout the day
A want, a wish, a will to have my way
And when I fumble over words you smile
You'll kiss my cheek and say, "I like your style."
Dream a dream of our life story
I will tell it over and again
I'll tell the world just how you got that
Got that perfect smile I can't withstand
Let me kiss your index finger
I'll point out how you've made me crazy
I know I'd do it all the same way
I'd do it all the same
[Chorus]
Dream a dream of our life story
I will tell it over and again
I'll tell the world just how you got that
Let me kiss your index finger
I'll point out how you've made me crazy
I know I'd do it all the same way
[Chorus]
Why give up this opportunity?
If I can't be near you then I'd rather be
In hell forever I'll think of you
So just give me chances to go on
The song Sunrise by Houston is a ballad about a man who is lost in a made-up romance. The song begins with the description of a woman dressed in a red sequined dress, moving to the rhythm of the music like good poetry. The singer of the song is struck by her charm and wishes to come out of his anonymity to know her better. As the night progresses, he realizes that he is living a lie as he sips on his whiskey and enjoys her company, while the woman is clueless about his feelings.
The chorus talks about his dilemma, where he knows that he is lost and his timing is off, but he cannot resist the woman's lust and libido. He urges himself to take a chance as that is all he's got to go on. As the evening winds down, the singer, who is now in love with the woman, dreams of their life story and wishes to tell the world how she got that perfect smile. He wants to kiss her index finger and point out how she has made him crazy. He knows that he would do it all the same way again and again.

Amidst a smile the setting sun
As the sun sets, you smile and it makes me feel warm inside
Red sequined dress that could kill anyone
You look stunning in that red dress, it's so mesmerizing
The music moves you like good poetry
The rhythm and melody of the music make you sway and feel the words
I wish I lacked this anonymity
I wish I could reveal myself to you, instead of hiding behind a mask of anonymity
It strikes me funny when you mouth the words
It amuses me when you mouth the words to a song I've never heard
To "Am I Wrong" a song I've only heard
You're mouthing the words to a song that I haven't heard, but it still sounds beautiful
While sipping whiskey living out a lie
I try to forget reality while I drink and pretend everything is perfect
A perfect portrait hosting you and I
We look flawless together, like a perfect picture
A made up romance, my soliloquy will read
Our love is fictional, but I still speak of it romantically
I know I'm lost again, my timing's off again
I feel like I'm wandering aimlessly in life and my timing with you is never right
Because something lacks in your passing eyes
I see a lack of passion in your eyes when we're together, and it hurts me inside
It's lust and libido
The only thing we share is physical attraction and desire
Why give up this opportunity?
Why not take a chance and see where this could lead?
Give it a go and maybe you will see
Take a chance and you might realize how good we could be together
So take a chance it'll be alright
Don't be afraid to take a risk, everything will turn out okay
And that's all you've got to go on
You only have this one chance, so go for it with all you've got
You dance around my head throughout the day
Thoughts of you keep running through my mind all day long
A want, a wish, a will to have my way
I desire to have you and make you mine, but it's just a dream
And when I fumble over words you smile
Even when I'm awkward and stumble over my words, you still find me charming
You'll kiss my cheek and say, "I like your style."
You'll give me a sweet compliment and make me feel good about myself
Dream a dream of our life story
Imagine how we could be together and what our future could hold
I will tell it over and again
I'll keep retelling our story because it's all I have left of you
I'll tell the world just how you got that
I want to share with everyone how you captivated me with your perfect smile
Got that perfect smile I can't withstand
Your smile is so mesmerizing, I can't resist it
Let me kiss your index finger
Let me show my affection for you by kissing your hand
I'll point out how you've made me crazy
You're the one who's responsible for driving me mad with desire and longing
I know I'd do it all the same way
Even if I had the chance to do it over, I'd still fall for you
If I can't be near you then I'd rather be
I'd rather suffer in pain if it means being close to you in some way
In hell forever I'll think of you
Even in the worst possible scenario, I'll still be thinking of you
So just give me chances to go on
Just keep giving me opportunities to try and win your heart
