With a sound all their own and a front man with the voice to carry it, Joan Red is re-defining modern rock... and the new definition rolls like this: rock- (noun)- pronounced (rok) - JOAN RED; Powerful choruses and catchy hooks driven by thunderous guitars and driving beats. It's music that takes you to another place. A place where fans push to the front of the stage decked out in black and red to pledge loyalty to a band that most have never heard of. A place where fists pump in the air and the crowds know the words to every song. This isn't just a band. This isn't just a gig. Welcome to a place where every show is an unforgettable "rock experience". Welcome to JOAN RED. Formed in late 2006, the band wrote and recorded it's first EP "Spread The Red" at Paul Ebersold's 747 studios in 2007 and began playing local venues and building a buzz. In September 2008, they completed their first, full length album and achieved notable regional success as well as radio airplay in markets from Missouri to Mississippi and on to Florida. With 65,000 Myspace friends and over 2.5 million plays, Joan Red is currently one of the most sought after live acts in the Memphis area and boasts an impressive touring schedule with hundreds of performances to date and beyond. Genres colliding, Joan Red has manipulated modern songwriting in the Rock/Alternative/Power Rock formats to feed their 'rock hungry' audience with limitless hooks and choruses. Often described as "Disturbed" meets "The Killers," they have shared the stage with national touring acts that include Three Days Grace, Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, One Less Reason, Taproot, Egypt Central, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Staind and Trust Co. With their single "You Be The Hero" already impacting radio, their full length debut album released in August of '09, and a non-stop touring schedule covering the Eastern half of the U.S, Joan Red is undeniably ready to take on the masses.
Lead singer Anthony Basurto died in his sleep on June 9, 2011. He is survived by his mother and brother.
Crush
Joan Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I call for you
I'm lost without my
Love
And only if we make it through
It's all for you
It's breaking me apart again
Only on the road I
Never seem to open my eyes
I dream of things that could've been
Crush my heart I'm wearing thin
Only all alone I
I can see myself
I lose myself
In you
Love
Every time I call for you
I'm lost without my
Love
And only if we make it through
It's all for you
Here I am alone again
This bottle plays a constant friend
Going out of my mind I
Can't forget your eyes, no
This can't be getting to you
This face is drowning in me
In madness screaming
Only all alone I
I used to see myself
I lost myself
In you
Love
Every time I call for you
I'm lost without my
Love
And only if we make it through
It's all for you
My love
Crush my love
My love
Oh my love
My love
My love
Love
Every time I call for you
I'm lost without my
Love
And only if we make it through
It's all for you
Love
It's just a
Crush
It's just a crush
The lyrics to Joan Red's song Crush describe the singer's deep love and desire for someone they cannot have. The repeated refrain of "love" emphasizes the singer's obsession with this person, and how they feel lost without them. The lyrics also suggest that their love is one-sided, as the line "only if we make it through" implies that the other person may not feel the same way. The second verse indicates that the singer is struggling with their feelings, turning to alcohol as a constant companion and unable to forget the object of their affection. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that their love may only be a crush, suggesting that they are aware of how their emotions may not be fully reciprocated.
