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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leaving this
Caught in the lines with so much heart
And only if you could take the time
With no reasoning
We could go on and on and on
Yeah
You fell to pieces
Show me the way
You fall apart
Time is the glass
Your sands are breaking
Show me the way
You fell apart
Now looking back at all the times
And your fake led rhymes
Surely the time would take your reasons
I'm calling you out, front line
Simply the best is all I asked of you
But you can't let go
This song could go on and on
And on and on and on and on
So show me the way
You fell to pieces
Show me the way
You fall apart
Time is the glass
Your sands are breaking
Show me the way
You fell apart
Show me the way
Now show me the way
You fell to pieces
Show me the way
You fall apart
Time is the glass
Your sands are breaking
So show me the way
You fell to pieces
Show me the way
Show me the way
You fell to pieces
Show me the way
You fall apart
Time is the glass
Your sands are breaking
Yeah show me the way

The lyrics of the song “Show Me The Way” by Joan Red speak about the frustration and disappointment caused by a relationship that has fallen apart. The singer longs for the time to be split apart and for a chance to start over with his/her significant other. The lines catch them and the singer describes how caught up they are in those lines where there is so much heart but no reasoning. The singer is calling out to the significant other, asking him/her to show the way of how they fell to pieces and fell apart. The sands of time are breaking for the person and the singer wants to help fix the relationship but doesn’t know where to start.
The chorus repeats over and over again to “show me the way” and bring the significant other back to the singer. They look back at all the times they’ve had together and the fake led rhymes that the significant other sang that had no meaning. The only thing the singer asked for was the best from his/her partner but even though the song could go on and on, they cannot seem to find a solution to their problems. The song’s lyrics suggest that the singer is desperate to fix the relationship and get back together with his/her significant other.
