The band’s five members were all raised in different places before meeting and starting the band in 2006. Kate Cabebe was born and raised in Camarillo, California and began taking an interest in music as a child by taking lessons in the violin and mandolin. Cabebe began playing the drums by age 13. Katie Cecil, from North Carolina, started her venture off by acting in various roles on stage, television and film. Shelby Cobra, from Santa Clarita, California, started in music by auditioning and performing in musical theater at a young age. She began studying voice and performance at the age of 12. Sophia Melon was raised and took lesson to learn to play the bass guitar. Shae Padilla, who was raised in Lancaster, California, started playing and performing music at a young age when her brother took lessons to play the drums so he could accompany her.
The band formed in 2006 as an originally pop group. They got its start due to the band The Go-Go's taking an interest in wanting to mentor a “new all-girl teen rock band.” The band started off with four members and when they soon decided to move to a rock genre, fifth member Shelby Cobra joined the band.
KSM guest starred as Vagablond in the Take180 original series I <3 Vampires on September 11, 2009 and performed their song "Read Between The Lines" to promote their album with the same name.
The band worked with Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil on their debut album. The album is set to be released on Sept 22nd and Sept 15th on iTunes only.
The band finished out a tour to promote their music as a special guest on select dates of Demi Lovato's Summer Tour 2009, then, a few months later, already in 2010, it was announced on their Facebook and MySpace pages that it was the end of the group.
Best Friends Forever
KSM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hold it all inside
Pretend it doesn't matter
Why you keep it to yourself?
When you got someone else
You know can make it better
You try to be so strong
See you when your feeling down
Hey, wasn't it you
Who'd always be there for me?
Don't forget what we've been through together
Hey, isn't it true
We promised to always be
Best friends forever
Yeah
Words, that you don't need to say
The sad that's on your face
Isn't hard to see through
I've been there once or twice
It's you that made things right
My turn to be there for you
You try to be so strong
But I always know when something's wrong
See you when your feeling down
Hey, wasn't it you
Who's always be there for me?
Don't forget what we've been through together
Hey, isn't it true
We promised to always be
Best friends forever
When the rain comes down (I'll be there)
I will always be around
Just wanna be the one to catch you when you fall
Hey, wasn't it you
Who'd always be there for me?
Don't forget what we've been through together
Hey, isn't it true
We promised to always be
Best friends forever
KSM's Best Friends Forever is a song that celebrates the unbreakable bond between two friends. The track encourages individuals to open up to their friends during tough times and allow them to offer support. The opening verse talks about the tears we try so hard to suppress and hold within ourselves. We pretend that everything is okay, even when it isn't. However, the song reminds us that we have friends around us that we can always turn to; friends that can help us make it through our struggles. The chorus emphasizes the importance of keeping promises and being there for our friends, even during the hardest of times.
The second verse points out that words aren't always necessary to convey emotions. Sometimes all it takes is a little observation to recognize when a friend is unhappy. The lyrics go on to say that the friend in question has been there for the singer in the past, and it's now the singer's turn to reciprocate the favor. The bridge reinforces the idea that a friend should be dependable and reliable, even during tough times. The chorus is repeated at the end of the song and serves as a reminder of the commitment two friends have made to each other.
Line by Line Meaning
Tears you try so hard to hide
You attempt to conceal your tears and emotions
You hold it all inside
You keep your feelings bottled up
Pretend it doesn't matter
You act as though it's insignificant
Why you keep it to yourself?
Why don't you share it with someone?
When you got someone else
When you have someone to turn to
You know can make it better
You know they can help you through it
You try to be so strong
You try to appear resilient
But I always know when something's wrong
I can always tell when something is amiss
See you when your feeling down
I'm there for you when you're feeling low
Hey, wasn't it you
Hey, weren't you the one
Who'd always be there for me?
Who promised to always be there for me?
Don't forget what we've been through together
Remember all that we've overcome together
Hey, isn't it true
Hey, isn't it the case
We promised to always be
We vowed to always remain
Best friends forever
The closest of friends for eternity
Words, that you don't need to say
The words left unspoken
The sad that's on your face
The despair that's visible on your expression
Isn't hard to see through
Is quite transparent
I've been there once or twice
I've been in your shoes before
It's you that made things right
It's you who helped me through it
My turn to be there for you
It's my turn to return the favor
When the rain comes down (I'll be there)
When times get tough (I'll be there)
I will always be around
I'll always be available to help
Just wanna be the one to catch you when you fall
I want to support you when you're struggling
