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".
Disorder
Morning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The drama queen inside of me
Next time better be prepared
Wrong choices, distances
Empty days are passing by
They leave me grasping for some air
Wrong choices, distances time can't combine
The bitter ones numbed my heart
Time has to take a hold for me
I'm bleeding out inside
Struggling to find out what troubles me
How this affects me so much, affects me so much
See I messed it all up again
There's a war going on inside of me
In my own reality
Tears that turn out to be my own mistake
Silently I am going insane
Time has to take a hold for me
I'm bleeding out inside
Struggling to find out what troubles me
How this affects me so much, affects me so much
I messed it all up again
There's a war going on inside of me
Please show me a way
Cause silently I am going insane
Time has to take a hold for me
I'm bleeding out inside
Struggling to find out what troubles me
How this affects me so much, affects me so much
In the song Disorder, Morning reflects on the emotional turmoil that she experiences in her own life, as she struggles to make the right choices and deal with the consequences of her actions. She refers to herself as a "drama queen", emphasizing the intense emotions that she experiences and the difficulties that she faces in dealing with them. Throughout the song, she describes her feelings of confusion and desperation, as she tries to make sense of her own emotions and experiences.
One of the most striking features of the song is the repeated refrain of "time has to take a hold for me", which suggests that Morning is hoping for some kind of respite or cessation of her emotional turmoil. She acknowledges that she is "bleeding out inside" and struggling to cope with her own feelings, but she also seems to believe that time itself may be able to heal her wounds and help her to move forward.
Overall, the lyrics to Disorder convey a sense of deep emotional pain and a desire to find some kind of resolution or healing. Despite the difficulties that she faces, Morning maintains a sense of hope and determination throughout the song, as she struggles to overcome her own personal demons and find a way through the turmoil of her emotions.

I am so glad you talked about bad mornings. I thought I was the only one who woke up feeling panicked or depressed. Once again you have touched my heart with your videos and your insight. God bless and take care.

Rob, morning's have been hell for me. I work from home in a difficult sales job with lots of rejection. Kids are gone and divorced. So, needless to say, morning's suck. I have pushed myself for about 2 months to establish a routine that I can look forward to in the morning. It consists of walking the dog, making a small pot of coffee, going on a 5-10 mile bike ride, come home, push ups, sit ups, then 10 minutes of meditation. It has been wonderful and has taken the darkness out of my mornings. Coffee cup, shower, dress as if i'm going to work (no pajamas to entice me) then at the computer totally revved up. It has also taught me some additional discipline and to embrace the day

I’m so thankful for finding this channel.. it has helped me immensely to know that I’m not alone and that there are people like you out here helping those of us struggling with our disorder. The last few months have been a battle for me because most of the time it feels like I’ll never stop crashing, but watching your videos has helped me and given me new coping skills. I’m excited to try this new technique in the mornings. Many of your tips have worked for me really well. Thank you again for everything you do.. please keep the videos coming!
