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.

Waking To Winter
Mineral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And breathing causes white ghosts to appear
They light up the city with Christmas trees
And strings that hang across the street
From telephone pole to telephone pole
So that when I'm driving home at night
I'm reminded of your love
Unlike these things will never change
Or fade or pass away
The lyrics of Mineral's "Wakingtowinter" evoke a feeling of wistfulness and longing in the listener. The first verse describes the onset of winter, with the cold air causing visible breath and the city being illuminated by festive decorations. The second verse speaks to a sense of fatigue and frustration, as the singer is "pinned down by spite", but is uplifted by the thought of a love that is constant and enduring.
The imagery in the first verse is particularly powerful, with the white ghosts of breath and the colorful lights of the Christmas decorations creating a vivid scene. The contrast between the cold air and the warm glow of the lights adds to the overall feeling of nostalgia and melancholy in the song. The second verse speaks to a more personal struggle, with the singer feeling weary and defeated, but finding solace in the idea of a love that transcends the difficulties of life.
Overall, "Wakingtowinter" is a beautifully crafted song that captures the essence of a particular time of year and explores themes of love, longing, and perseverance.

In winter when the air gets cold
During winter season when the atmosphere is chilled
And breathing causes white ghosts to appear
The coldness of air causes visible exhalations
They light up the city with Christmas trees
The town is illuminated with decorative seasonal trees
And strings that hang across the street
Plenty of arrays are suspended on the lanes
From telephone pole to telephone pole
Connected from one column to the other
So that when I'm driving home at night
While commuting back to my residence late in the evening
Tired frustrated and pinned down by spite
Fatigued, disheartened, and confined by hatred
I'm reminded of your love
My thoughts are provoked of your affection
Unlike these things will never change
Differently from the decorations, your love will not transform
Or fade or pass away
Neither will it weaken nor cease

And breathing causes white ghosts to appear
They light up the city with Christmas trees

From telephone pole to telephone pole
So that when I'm driving home at night
Tired frustrated and pinned down by spite
I'm reminded of your love
Unlike these things will never change
Or fade or pass away

Can't stop listening to this song every winter, every day I go out and the day is cloudy and cold

I'm reminded of your love
Unlike these things will never change
