Jolly consists of:
Anadale (vocals, guitar)
Joe Reilly (keyboard, sampler)
Anthony Rondinone (bass, vocals)
Louis Abramson (drums)
The band names Tears For Fears, Tool, Radiohead, Type O Negative, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Muse, Meshuggah, and cartoon themes as their musical influences.
In 2006, the four members of the band met each other on internet forums and formed the idea to release an EP with own material, as the Swiss label Galileo Records took notice of their YouTube videos. The band signed with Galileo in 2006. The first album released on that label was named Forty Six Minutes, Twelve Seconds. Jolly toured with Riverside (Band) and Pure Reason Revolution outside the United States, mainly in Europe. After finding success on Galileo, the band signed with InsideOut Music.
With the album The Audio Guide To Happiness Vol. I, the band stated the rumor of binaural tones on that album, which may cause absolute happiness to the listeners.
Mike Portnoy invited the band to be opener of his supergroup Flying Colors. Portnoy has also been featured in one Jolly music video.
In 2014, the band performed at ProgPower Europe.
In 2015, the band switched to using Patreon to fund continued music composition and recording. Joe Reilly, the keyboardist, has stated that the band has built a reputation for closeness with fans and a heavy reliance on fans when touring, and Patreon is a way of allowing the fans to directly support the band's music and video creation.
In 2016, Jolly began releasing episodes of a cartoon webseries called the JOLLYSHOW. The first episode featured the appearance, and death, of a fictionalized version of Steven Wilson.

Storytime
Jolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where you go from here
Storytime leaves it all behind
It leads to wandering around
Passing by, moves faster as it goes
You can feel the years collide
And where you ought to be, here in time
Remember today, and lt it all slow down
Looking back at memories to find
They're fading out into the night
Slipping mind watches the clouds go by
And you can't help but close your eyes
Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you ought to be, here in time, here in time
Where do you go from here
Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you are
The lyrics of Jolly's song Storytime reflect on the passing of time and the uncertainty of the future. The opening lines suggest a sense of questioning and contemplation, as the singer asks why they are still alive and what lies ahead.

The chorus repeats the plea for guidance, "where do you go from here?", highlighting the uncertainty that comes with the passage of time.
The use of imagery in the song reinforces the theme of the passage of time. The line "Storytime leaves it all behind" paints a picture of moving forward, while "Passing by, moves faster as it goes" describes the fleeting nature of time. The idea of memories fading away into the night is also a haunting image that speaks to the inevitability of change.
Overall, "Storytime" is a reflective and introspective song about the passage of time and the uncertainty of the future. It offers a glimpse into the thoughts and emotions of someone who is grappling with the idea of growing older and wondering what the future holds.
