1. A 1970s America… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands with the name "Morning".
1. A 1970s American folk-pop band
2. A 2000s Dutch pop-rock band.
1. Morning was an American folk-pop band featuring Chris Darrow.
2. Morning... atmospheric pop... progressive rock... but above all just plain heavy metal too!
Morning was founded in the summer of 2000 by Saskia van Heugten (vocals) and drummer Mauro Pi (drums). In autumn 2000 the brothers Pol Bannier (bassguitar) and Stijn Bannier (synths) joined the band. After working for two years with just one guitarist and releasing two demos in 2001 and 2002, the Dutch band decided in summer 2002 to continue with two guitarists. The remaining members found Martijn Brauwers and Bas Rensen. The band calls its style dreammetal, with influences from bands like The Gathering and Ayreon, but also Soilwork and Killswitch Engage. With Bas and Martijn the band is more powerful and intense like never before. In August 2003 the band released new demo-EP called 'Inside'. 'Inside' got raving reviews from the (inter)national press!
A debut album was recorded by the band in the summer of 2004. This is "Hour of Joy" and was released worldwide in September 2005 by Black Lotus Records. The album was recorded in the PITStudio in Weert and mastered in the Athens Mastering Studio. In some intro's you can hear a choir, which was recorded in Leuven - Belgium, and a guest appearance from Arjen "Ayreon" Lucassen.
In the current line-up Morning creates a decent name in live performing. Since Winter 2002 this results in countless performances in and outside of The Netherlands, which is remarkable for an unsigned band. Thus the band stood no less than 80 times on stage in 2003 and 2004. Morning played at festivals such as Summer Darkness, Metal Female Voices Fest, Novemberrain, OccultFest, GothTronic, Gentse Feesten, Molfest and Bevrijdingsfestival. The band could not only reach the metalheads when playing with among others After Forever, Autumn, Epica, Orphanage, Lana Lane, Paradise Lost, Therion and Trail of Tears, but also the pop/rock public was reached when performing with among others Blöf, BrainPower and Di-Rect.
The band is playing again on a weekly basis with the debut album in the pocket. Among others 't Paard van Troje, Effenaar, Melkweg, Tivoli, Goudvishal and Manifesto are some of the venues in which the band will perform while promoting "Hour of Joy".
Blow
Morning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will catch as much warmth
As I can get
Blow me into your open arms!
Allowed to enter
Focused on what's more to come
Blow me into your open heart!
They have the power to...
To make me, take me, break me
I watch your every movement
Try holding me as close
As possible
Blow me into your open arms
The touch of your hands
I wanna keep your every movement in mind
Blow me into your open heart!
Then let your words surround me
They have the power to...
To make me, take me, break me
Make me! Take me! Break me!
The lyrics of Morning's song Blow are about a person who is deeply in love with someone and is observing their every move with keen interest. The person is trying to catch as much warmth as they can get from the other person and wants to be blown into their open arms and heart. The person is allowed to enter and is focused on what's more to come. The touch of the other person's hands is something they want to keep in mind. The person wants to be held as close as possible by the other person.
The lyrics also explain the power of words, especially the words of the other person. They can make, take, and break the person. The words of the other person have a strong impact on the person's emotions, thoughts, and actions. The person wants to be completely taken over by the other and is willing to be made and broken by them.
