Though they hail from disparate backgrounds – the Lopez-Smiths are from bucolic Cheyenne, Wyoming; Nevitt is from Peoria, Illinois - the members of Message From Sylvia found an immediate chemistry working together. That chemistry is already producing a combustible mix of explosive energy with the heavy yet melodic first single “Heart Of War”. Produced by Sahaj Ticotin (Ra), the song is already climbing the charts @ Active Rock radio nationwide. Frontman Nevitt says: “We are truly humbled to have worked with someone Like Sahaj. I really feel he bled into this song and our new album just as much as any one of us!”
The members of MFS have seen success with their earlier projects: Nevitt’s band DoryDrive was named “Best New Rock Band” @ the WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) awards in 2013 and their song “Here’s To You” reached the Top 40 on the Active Rock charts in 2014. The Lopez-Smith Brothers had an incredible run in 2015 with First Decree, which saw 3 of the band’s singles - “Lost In The Crowd”, “Phoenix”, and “This Is Our Rise” chart Top 15 @ Active Rock on the Under The Radar chart, and Top 30 on the BDs indicator chart. The band was nominated for “Best New Artist” of 2015 by Loudwire and finished in the Top 5

Message From Sylvia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′re almost done on tears
Try to forgive now, just try to let go
This cloudy skies, the sun is right behind
Are you keep waiting? Your all hope is fading
Can you hear the voices calling you?
All the fear that you've been through
Can't stop the pain on everyone who said
'No one can set you free, if you don′t wanna be alive′
Just stay awake, you can't just run away
It all gets colder when you said I′m older...
Open your eyes, it's time to let it die
These thoughts are heavier,
Slather me
Can you hear the voices calling you?
All the fear that you′ve been through
Can't stop the world of getting in the way
Can′t stop the pain on everyone who said
'No one can set you free, if you don't wanna be alive′
Can′t stop the world of getting in the way
Can't stop the pain on everyone who said
′No one can set you free, if you don't wanna be alive′
Your wind, back to the place where it all just find
And I'll be your time
You will forget all the ones that you leave in all behind
Let em try to hold the line
Can′t stop the world of getting in the way
Can't stop the pain on everyone who said
'No one can set you free, if you don′t wanna be alive′
Just close your eyes. You're almost done on tears
Try to forget now, just try to let go.
