After releasing two albums with this line-up, Sal left due to musical differences, and recruited a drummer for the recording/touring of 'Soul Searching Sun.' Caputo felt that the band's original spirit had left the band, and decided to quit in 1997. After a tour with replacement vocalist Whitfield Crane, the singer from Ugly Kid Joe, the band officially disbanded in 1999.
In 2003, the band reunited with their original line-up and played two sold-out shows before their home-town crowd, receiving great reception. This eventually led to a new studio album in 2005, namely 'Broken Valley'. Caputo came out as transgender in 2011. The band broke up again in 2012.
In 2014 the original 'River Runs Red' line-up returned to stage for several gigs. Their latest album A Place Where There's No More Pain was released in 2017. An upcoming album 'The Sound of Scars' is set to be released in 2019.

I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out
Love's strange so real in the drak
Think of the tenfer things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
Don't you ferget aboyt me
I'll be alone dancing, you know it baby
Gong you take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you walk away?

The song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Life of Agony is an emotional plea to someone, potentially a lover, to not forget about the singer. The lyrics express a deep longing for connection and understanding, as the singer asks for the other person to come see about them and to share their troubles and doubts. However, the song also addresses the reality that love can be strange and that slow changes may pull the couple apart. Despite these challenges, the singer urges the other person to not forget about them and declares their willingness to put the relationship back together at heart.
Throughout the song, the use of repetition and a simple, catchy melody help to emphasize the desperation of the singer's words. The chorus, which consists solely of the phrase "Don't You Forget About Me" repeated several times, becomes almost manic by the end of the song. Additionally, the bridge section changes the mood of the song with its melancholy repetition of "Will you walk away?" and "Will you call my name?"
Overall, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" is a powerful expression of human emotion and the desire for connection and understanding, even in the face of potential struggles and challenges.

The breakdown, from "Will you stand above me ect..." is chilling. Words can not describe this bands collective power

All these years later and every time I hear their albums they still hit me really hard
@benjaminwalkenhorst9670
One of the very few cover songs that give the original version a run for the money. I certainly won't forget about them!!!
@reinereine1896
Eh have you heard the cover with Leo moracchioli? This shit of a cover is just as bad that all of crap this band has ever done. I am glad that they don't exist anylonger.
