1) Mineral formed in 1994 and like other young bands, they toured constantly, virtually living in their van. The band's first release, the 7 inch "Gloria"/"Parking Lot" 7", was released on Audio Concept by Kerry McDonald from Christie Front Drive (the record was later re-released by Caulfield Records). Through a few rabid fans, that 7" found its way into the hands of crank! and Mineral later decided to release their records on the label.
Their first full length The Power of Failing, was recorded in 6 days in October 1995, followed by a split 7 inch with Jimmy Eat World and Sense Field shortly after when the three bands hit the road together. Since then, Mineral has released another 7 inch ("February"/"MD") on Caulfield and songs on various compilations.
Mineral released their second full length, EndSerenading in 1998 with Mark Trombino at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, California.
Shortly after completing recording for "EndSerenading", the four members of Mineral decided to go their separate ways. Chris Simpson and Jeremy Gomez formed the Gloria Record. Gabriel Wiley and Scott McCarver were briefly in a band called Imbroco. Gabe is now in Pop Unknown. Scott was last spotted in Austin but as far as we know he doesn't have a steady rock gig these days.
The Gloria Record have split up and Chris Simpson is working on a solo project called Zookeeper.
2) Mineral is a rock band from Armenia with a career spanning over two decades. Their most recent release has been "The Donkey", which was released in 2007.
3) The name Mineral was also used by a band fronted by David Wildman in Boston in the 1980s.

Mineral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there - glowing where the sky meets with the trees. and softly crowing, singing
fears to sleep. "will you ever know how much I love you for that?"
In "Love Letter Typewriter," Mineral reflects on a past relationship and how their partner's mere presence brought warmth and comfort to their life. Despite the passing of time, the memories of summer spent together remain vivid and woven together like a tapestry. The partner is presented as a calming force in the singer's life, singing their fears to sleep and lighting up the world around them. The final line, "will you ever know how much I love you for that?" suggests that the love shared between them was not fully appreciated or expressed at the time, and implies a lingering sense of regret or unfulfillment.
The song is notable for its thematic focus on time and memory, and how insignificant moments can shape our lives and relationships. The imagery of summer and the tapestry metaphor suggest a sense of nostalgia and lost innocence, while the idea of singing fears to sleep is both intimate and comforting.
Line by Line Meaning
summer unfolded, like a tapestry. and you were there - as you have always been there - glowing where the sky meets with the trees.
The summer passed by with beauty and elegance like a tapestry, and you were always present, radiating in the midst of where the sky and trees connected.
and softly crowing, singing fears to sleep.
You were humbly reassuring and comforting, lullabying the fears of the other person to rest.
"will you ever know how much I love you for that?"
Are you aware of how much affection I have for you because of your gentle and loving actions?
