1) Morning Glory is one of the many punk bands to spawn from Choking Victim, led by Ezra Kire. Their members are drawn from the wide pool of punk rock musicians in New York City.

In the early days (circa 2001, near the breakup of INDK) Ezra began working on a solo project, but with input and help from many other musicians. With a guitar, an 8-track, and a drum machine, he wrote and produced "This is No Time ta Sleep".

It was a hit with the growing "Crack Rock Steady" fan base of the local NY punk scene, and the "single" of the album, "Gang Control" was re-issued along with 3 new tracks on the self-produced Maxi-single CD "Tha Suicide Singles" in 2002. At least one of the tracks was live, indicating that Ezra had by that time (at least loosely) pulled an actual band together to perform as "Morning Glory".

The next release, including a full line-up of musicians, featured 5 all new songs in 2003 and was called "The Whole World is Watching". Morning Glory played a few shows around New York, but with Leftöver Crack's impending Fuck World Trade tour, Morning Glory took a back seat.

Not much was heard from the band or any news of new material until late 2005 when Ezra made some California show appearances with Leftöver Crack and people began to ask him about Morning Glory. They have recorded a full demo, and it must be done or close to being done, because one track, entitled "All My Friends" appeared on the Black Noise Records compilation "The Kids are Gonna Pay".

Mid 08 has seen new material slowly released for download over a newly created Morning Glory official myspace.The four tracks released so far 'You make me wanna die young(demo),Not another Christmas(demo),Suicide for Jennicide(demo),Fuck the Army,Join the Anti(demo)' are tracks that contribute to the new album, 'This is Revolution Rock'.

In August of 2012 Morning Glory released their long-awaited follow-up, Poets Were My Heroes on Fat Wreck Chords.

2) Morning Glory was a late 60s American psychedelic rock band, formed in San Fransisco in 1967. They released one album, Two Suns Worth (Fontana SRF-67573), and one single, Need Someone / I See The Light (Fontana 1613), both in 1968. Two Suns Worth was engineered by John Cale, who is best known as a member of the velvet Underground.

3) Morning Glory is a band composed of two boys from Welcome, Mn. They moved to Seattle in 2006 and started playing in Pikes Place Market everyday. They have recorded a full-length album, and that's what Lou is scrobbling.

Beyond A.D.
Morning Glory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Skies of grey
Mind of blue
Drugged and chained
Turning blue

Burning crosses
Jesus' losses
Doomed to a world of

Lesser love

Beyond a.d.
Under skies
Clear and warm
Beyond pain
Beyond scorn

We could be free
Far from me
It may seem
Until then
I can dream

A thousand years-
We can't conceive
All this now
Will mean nothing
I had a vision
We crossed the american plains

Out of reach
Of acid rains

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Beyond A.D." by Morning Glory offer a sense of hope in a world of chaos and turmoil. The opening lines "Skies of grey, mind of blue, drugged and chained, turning blue" convey a sense of depression, as the singer feels trapped and controlled by outside forces. The next lines, "Burning crosses, Jesus' losses, doomed to a world of lesser love" suggest that the source of this oppression is systemic or societal, rather than personal. The repeated phrase "Beyond A.D." serves as a sort of mantra, suggesting that there is a way beyond this world of suffering and injustice.

The second verse offers a glimpse of hope, as the singer imagines a world "under skies clear and warm, beyond pain, beyond scorn." This idyllic vision is tempered by the admission that "We could be free, far from me" - suggesting that achieving true freedom may require letting go of attachments or relationships that drag us down. The final lines offer a glimpse of long-term perspective, as the singer muses that "A thousand years - we can't conceive, all this now will mean nothing." Despite the despair of the present moment, there is hope that humanity can overcome its current problems and move towards a better future.

@MrSeabass1991 that others have shared with me, many times, and I have been thanked for sharing my opinion on many occasions as well. I want to continue to learn from others, so I'll continue to share what I have to say. It's only fair =)

@xr3druM My 'scene' ranges from Leadbelly to the Dead Milkmen to Wagner. Stereotype me, I get off on that shit. Just because someone says something you don't agree with doesn't automatically mean they are the sum of all that you hate, you know. I respect artistic insight and creativity over idolatry and greed. Sorry if my idea of idolatry and greed match up to your idea of artistic insight, but it is the nature of opinions to contradict each other, which is why we don't call them truths.

@FuckFacts

@MrSeabass1991 I am in love with myself and would never deny that. What you said, however, was that I am narcissistic--comparatively TOO in love with myself. If you took the time to get to know me whatsoever before you based your judgment you'd see that I am much more in love with the intellectuals of history than with myself, and that I don't spend excessive amounts of time with physical preparation or self-observation. Unless I'm lying that excludes me from every definition of narcissism.

@FuckFacts ok dude, i'm not gonna start a youtube-fight about this anymore, but flatliners dont work for greedy corporations, their very honest and in my opinion one of the creative newer punkrockbands out there

@FuckFacts

13y

@MrSeabass1991 Even if I do go around trying to make myself seem smart, wouldn't that just be a reason to feel bad for me? Because obviously that would make me a sad person. On the other hand, going around trying to 'get under peoples skin' is pathetic in a slightly different way. I provide my opinion because they are solicitudes, I've considered some things enough to be well assured about their validity, so sharing them is a gift. Possibly not to you, but I've felt this way about opinions

@FuckFacts

13y

@yougotityesyou Lol probably. Why, did you expect my attention span to be so short? I like to argue morality, because it is the most important factor in human interaction. I would be embarrassed if by my age I hadn't a thing or two to say about the human condition. Very few people study as I do, or hold similar opinions though, so if I want to gain anything from an argument I have to repeat it until I find a semi-intelligent opponent, which is more difficult than you may expect.

@DaDinkler

How do they work for rich greedy corporations?

@mcleb84

you sell your soul to them...

@FuckFacts P.S.: If music sounds good, listen to it. People need money to live and they need ways to make that money. If something has a nice sound, enjoy it. It doesn't matter how you look doing it, how they've gotten there, or who might see you. If it's good, enjoy it.

@MrSeabass1991 I didn't provide proof because what I said is obviously an opinion based on the people I have met, and not on the people you have met, therefore any evidence would be meaningless to you. You, however, judged me quite ignorantly, evidence on that matter is in order. All you've done is give me ample opportunity to judge you logically based on what you have said, never a rationalization for the judgment you placed on me.

@6036000

the guy below is having an argument with a guy whos user name is "fuck facts" using facts and asking him to supply facts.

@FuckFacts

13y

@6036000 There is no such thing as an objective fact. Everything we think we know is just an observation of how things relate to us and other things, therefore, fuck facts, certainty is stupidity. Once we develop senses that aren't so damn limiting in viewing the world as it really is, then I may have an interest in objective factuality. As it is now, the only things humanity is capable of recognizing are physical hypothesis and observation, we can't imagine the scope of universal truths.

@FuckFacts

14y

Yeah, I do. You should hide your jealousy better though, it's kinda' disconcerting.

@FuckFacts

13y

@MrSeabass1991 Lol this is the fourth time I've been personally attacked on this video, am I supposed not to defend myself? When someone personally attacks you with misrepresentations, the only logical response as Nietzsche pointed out is "Listen to me! For I am thus and thus. Do not, above all, confound me with what I am not!" You call me arrogant and narcissistic, but you provide no contributing evidence. I can provide detractive evidence, but apparently defending yourself is narcissistic.

@FuckFacts

14y

@lgwgn88 Obviously didn't read my comment very well. And I'm sure you meant overreacting, which I did not do. If you did in fact mean what you said, it is quite an ignorant assumption that my opinion is an act simply because it does not coincide with your own. And you can't be a wanna-be cynic... that doesn't make sense at all. My cynicism is based on logic, which makes it not so much cynicism as realism.

@FuckFacts

13y

@xr3druMI You do need to fulfill guidelines to be considered punk, otherwise the generalization would not make sense. How can you consider someone part of a group if there is nothing to define that group by? Seems like they would just be a group of unique individuals, each requiring separate consideration. It would take an obnoxious amount of room on here to point out the extent of your hypocrisy, so I'll pm you instead =)

@FuckFacts

13y

@xr3druMI didn't misconstrue shit. In fact the only thing you have done on this video is misconstrue MY words. For example, if you re-read my comment that you originally replied to, you'll realize that I clearly stated that I DO consider the Flatliners 'punk', I just don't think fitting a stereotype is a reason to respect someone. Your subsequent messages detailed the extent to which I believe the Flatliners are NOT punk, I have no idea how you came to that conclusion.

@dirtydoggo5407

12y

hahah are u joking

@FuckFacts

13y

@lgwgn88 To be honest, I don't know where the homophobe comment came from, it was two years ago. I dislike the flatliners because they work for rich greedy corporations, and because they have not produced anything overly unique, I have no reason to listen to another band trying to play off the same old shit that's been good enough for 20 years. If this makes me a hypocrite and narrow-minded, than alright, I can deal with that. Either way, I still gots me atleast +9 inner-nets =D
