1. An American Indie Rock trio of Mac Folger (guitar, vocals), Rui De Magalhães (bass, vocals), and Jamie Joyce (percussion, vocals) based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Their sound is influenced by New Zealand's Dunedin Sound, Jangle Pop, as well as psychedelic pop. Their debut album "Blood on the Tracks" was released May 11, 2018.

2. A Dutch Alternative Rock band formed in 1997.

"..organic, full of contrasts and searching.. Lawn creates adventures on electric guitars.."

With this quote the biggest music magazine in Holland tried to nail down the sound of Lawn's second album 'Backspace'. Categorized as alternative-postrock, Lawn established themselves with this record as being one of the leading indiebands in the Netherlands; thriving on atmosphere but with a strong focus on melodies and dynamics. 'Backspace' has proven that an album can be very diverse, changing from density to transparency, from raw and unrefined to smooth and catchy sounds. The song ‘Fix’ combined it all in just 4 minutes and -with its release- it became the underground-hit Lawn was hoping for. The band backed up it with extensive touring through Holland, Germany and Belgium.

Recent past: 2007/2008 With new songs up their sleeve, the band also started thinking about a more solid production. The goal was not to give in on the atmosphere lawn-music seems to create, but to put more emphasis on the songstructures and melodies, letting the best parts stand out. With some advise from Robin Proper-Sheppard (Sophia, God Machine) on the pre-production side, Lawn hit the studio with well-known producers Phil Vinall (dEUS, Placebo, Radiohead) and Pieter Kloos (Motorpsycho) to achieve their new targets. Both carefully selected on their work so far, this duo matched the ideas of the band perfectly to bring the new songs to the next level. After long and hard work, ‘Silver’ was the result. In 2008 Lawn focused on promoting this new album in the BENELUX.

Now: 2009
After its (recent) release may 2009 by MakeMyDayRecord/Starkult, ‘Silver’ already received plenty of critical acclaim in the German media (Intro, Visions, etc.). In May/June Lawn will do a brief tour visiting the bigger cities of Germany. Since Lawn wants to put much emphasis on this release in Germany they will present themselves more persistently in September/October with a longer tour.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't rewind or slow it down
The present seems too short around
Days emerge and disappear
And leave as they were never here

Never did it dawn
Upon me
Time has done some

Catching up i feel

Fix your thoughts to memorize
A still to be kept in your mind
Pictures that were meant to be
To fade away eventually
Lost it's colour in the light
Can't seem to recognize
Blurred out shapes i can't restore
From the mind for evermore

Eyes can't keep track
Looking out the window
Just when I'll seize
It comes afloat

And just hold still and don't you move
Not until that I approve
I won't blink my eyes again
Not until I understand...

.how I lost the count of
The days that dissolved
Into a faint scent

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lawn's song "Fix" explore the concept of time passing by quickly, and the importance of holding onto memories that may eventually fade away. The opening lines of the song speak to the difficulty of slowing down or reversing time, and how the present often feels fleeting. The lyrics then pivot to the idea of memories and how they can become distorted over time, leading to an inability to fully recall them.

The chorus advises the listener to "fix your thoughts to memorize" and hold onto the stills and pictures in their mind, despite the fact that they may eventually fade away. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer lamenting the loss of vivid memories and the inability to restore them. The bridge brings the song to a more reflective tone, with the singer acknowledging a desire to understand how time has passed, and how the present has become caught up with memories of the past.

Overall, the lyrics to "Fix" highlight the importance of cherishing moments and memories, and the fleeting nature of time.

And I also have zoysia grass so it always dies and turns brown and dormant in the fall and winter, so that will be coming soon for me. But it is fun taking care of the lawn I think.

Just wanted to let you know I took your steps and this fall, my yard looks at least 75% better than what I came in with. Tenacity is amazing - got rid of my crabgrass and ground ivy, and most of my dandelion. I spot sprayed for weeds August 1 and again August 15 to hit what I missed. I aerated (this was hard on a hilly lawn, but next year I will use a billy goat or outsource this part) September 13, and put down limestone then - I have a lot of moss and pine needles to deal with. I overseeded the next day with Pennington Contractor's Mix. Fertilized a week later. Watered twice a day for about 2 weeks after seeding. Then every 3 days or so for another couple weeks. Was ready to mow by week 3... there was over 6 inches of growth. I basically haven't stopped bagging weekly clippings since... helps me get all the leaves off my heavily wooded lawn. It's not perfect, but my husband is impressed with what I've accomplished in a single season with minimal investment. I wish I could post my before and after pics. Guys, if you live in New England.... Silver Cymbal's tips will help you get your lawn better. These steps worked for me. I am no longer embarrassed of my lawn. Thank you Silver Cymbal!

You seem to love your perfect lawns in the US; I 've read that billions of $$$'s are spent on keeping them green and pristeen. Here in the UK there's a growing trend towards sowing meadow mixes to make our gardens into wildlife havens. I see it in my own street. It's been going either way; some people pave over their lawns to park more cars but others have dedicated parts or sometimes all of their lawn to encourage wildflowers. Done well it looks amazing! I use the fiskars staysharp plus reel mower which lifts to 4" and allows me to mow low flowering areas of grass without damaging the flowers. Sitting in my garden it literally dances with life; butterflies, bees, dragonflies and other pollinators. These in turn have brought in more insectivorous birds and even toads and hedgehogs; my former lawn now teems with biodiversity! My cats love exploring and snoozing among the long grasses and flowers too. It used to be just a lifeless monoculture of green before. When I see a pristine lawn now it looks like a desert to me.

Sounds great, but where I live, a wildlife haven means giant cockroaches and snakes! We have much larger lawns here in the US, on average, than you do in the UK.

You should also note, that people should always do a soil test at their local county farm office or an online kit in order to make sure that they are feeding their lawn what it actually needs.

I love this video! I have NO yard experience but would like to learn enough to maintain. This is inspiring and perfect! I feel so well educated that I purchased items today. The only issue is it's late to aerate now that it's May but my lawn is Ugly with some patches and filled with clovers, crabgrass, and white flowers i don't know the name of and want to get started. I believe I can overseed but have to water yard more often, right? I hope I don't mess up and have a yard full of just dirt from killing the grass...LOL

I have watched this video at least 20 times. Started my lawn renovation 6 weeks ago. Just had my first cut over the weekend and I finally have hope. The new seed came out quite a bit darker than the existing grass but I’m sure if I stay patient in 3ish years after being consistent it’ll take over. Thank you so much!!!

@b.d.4229

same here. I reno'ed a big area and since I have no idea what grass seed was used previously I ended up with beautiful new grass that was dark green while the rest of the lawn wasn't that dark. The overseeding definitely help green up the existing lawn... but not up to par as the new stuff. Hopefully each year of overseesing will help it all match better.

@jennieredrose5819

What type of seed did you use?

amazing! this has worked like a charm in mid Iowa. i have had outstanding results following your advice this spring! tenacity worked perfectly! my yard was over 80% broadleaf plantain weeds and purple clover smothering out the grass by the first week of april and now it’s down to just a handful of small spots after 3 applications of weed killer, one round of fertilizer and 2 rounds of overseeding. The first 2 tenacity applications were over the whole yard, last one was spot treatment. I’m currently waiting for my second round of overseeding to grow but i’ve seen a massive improvement. it feels like a miracle! i have gained so much confidence in how to fix and maintain a lawn when I was once was hopeless. i’m confident before the next winter my yard will be one of the best in the neighborhood. thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow instructions!

I was about to rip my entire lawn and get it replaced. But you've made me reconsider, and might use seedlings instead. I just didn't want to have multiple types of grass growing at different rates on my lawn. But it seems to have worked for you. Thanks for sharing.

@SilverCymbal

I'm glad you have another option now. I tried so much over the years and thoseother ways can work but now that I have done this many times I know it can and does work. The best part is of if you have a life, jobs kids and family or all of that you don't have to spend your whole year doing this and still get a nice end result. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thank you so much, I followed these steps and achieved unbelievable results that shocked my neighbors, family members, and coworkers. I had all but given up, my lawn had turned brown and sparse - looking completely dead. I followed these simple steps, and followed them COMPLETELY, and had a perfect green lawn within 5 weeks. So many people asked about it, and all of them I just gave them your link! Cannot thank you enough. And for those of you reading this and are on the fence about doing it, stop thinking and just do it - but do it ALL, no shortcuts.

Hello. After tenacity, how long did you wait to start seeding? And after seeding how long did you wait after applying starter fertilizer?

@BrettLyon

@@sofiavillarreal820 No need to wait for either of your two questions! Every year, I usually do the following: get home from work on a Friday night, apply the tenacity, go to bed, wake up on Saturday, rent an aerator from Home Depot, aerate, spread seed, and spread starting fertilizer all on Saturday. Then I water twice every day and refrain from cutting for 4 weeks

@allmightygreat1892

and everything that can cause a really thin sparse lawn is using a sprinkler system too much too often it depletes the nutrients so a lack of fertilization will also cause a poor looking lawn and once the lawn is established it's best to water heavy one time per week instead of light waterings everyday this will force the roots to go deep and top growth equals root development in about 3 in of root development for seed to make it through the summer so that's why it's best not to seed during the summer. your advice is pinpoint accuracy for success

I bought a used Ryan aerator from Home Depot and seeded the way you did too.

I’m convinced this is the best way, hands down!

@sendforacar9323

4y↑7

You want a blend of different grasses. That way if it gets a disease it won't wipe out your entire lawn. Set a timer to water just before sun up. This will cut down on mold and overall disease. If you aerate it's a must to keep the clippings after you mow. This will add nitrogen and provide coverage from the sun and hold enough moisture, not too much for mold, to help with new seed. I worked at a large lawn care company all throughout college. Their methods were backed by years of science. Last tip keep your mower at top height. This will allow the grass to naturally chock out new weeds reducing the need for chemical sprays.
