1) - MONEY, is a four-piece band conceived in the city of Manchester, they became a vehicle of artistic expression and emotion led by Jamie Lee alongside his bandmates Charlie Cocksedge, Billy Byron, and Scott Beaman. Together they began creating their own brand of melodic, ethereal rock music in 2010 and cloaked themselves in mystery and intrigue from the outset, performing under a host of different names, including Youth, Books, and Méké Menéte, before they settled on MONEY. They are signed to Bella Union and released their debut album The Shadow of Heaven in August of 2013.

MONEY are part of that city’s tradition of earnest young men, “the weight on their shoulder”, as Ian Curtis once sang. They quote Austrian poet Rilke, while their Facebook features a “eulogy for the death of everything”. A recent Guardian New Band of the Day article contended that they “have a similar air of mystery and cerebral intensity to Wu Lyf, with a vocalist who can do enigmatically gruff as well as fervid and angelic”, positing them as the Mancunian Manic Street Preachers, with a shared sense of the sacred and intense.

2) - Finnish hip-hop artist, also known as Julma-Henri.

3) - Money is a DIY recording artist currently based in Toronto, Canada.

4) - Money (M$NEY) is a singer from California, best known for working with Timbaland on his track Fantasy.

5) - Money was a vocal band in the Philly area, featuring future Network members Larry Baud and Mark Evans.

6) - Money is a new band coming from the Oklahoma DIY music scene—currently populated with diverse bands rich in punk/hardcore to shoegaze and alternative rock—Money delivers some of the heaviest straight-forward alternative rock music their town has to offer. Sharing members with the local OK band, Cursetheknife and inspired by late ‘90s bands like Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins and Far, Money’s songs are full of heavy bass, noisy guitars, and echoing vocals, where the band can easily fit on local shoegaze lineup, but slightly more heavy to fit on a punk/hardcore show. From the opener, “Trajector” to the closer, “Slower Hell”, Money does an excellent job in making these songs flow seamlessly while keeping the listener engaged and transfixed with sludgy guitars, clever interludes, and strong hooks on each song.

So Long
Money Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whip across my back in God's reign
Who'd have thought he'd die young
And I feel like the one
And I feel like the one its a call, the mind will save us all

So long, so long, so long
You could come down
It's a shame God is dead

It's a shame you could come down

The cross across my back in the darkness
Who have thought we'd die young
And i feel and i feel and i feel
Like the one, its a call, the mind will save us all

So long, so long, so long
You could come down

It's a shame God is dead
It's a shame you could come down

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Money's song, "So Long," the central motif is death - both physical, in the death of God, and emotional, in the pain and suffering described as being "whipped" and carrying the "cross" on one's back. The lines "Who'd have thought he'd die young" and "Who have thought we'd die young" suggest a feeling of surprise or disbelief at the fragility of life. The repeated phrase "so long" implies a sense of finality and conclusion, possibly echoing sentiments of goodbye or mourning.

The verse "And I feel like the one / And I feel like the one its a call, the mind will save us all" is particularly interesting. The use of the phrase "the one" suggests a sense of importance or significance, perhaps alluding to the idea of a messiah. The idea that the mind can "save us all" is a hopeful and empowering message, implying that even in the face of death and suffering, we have the power to overcome through mental strength.
