1) Morning Glory … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist named Morning Glory:
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.
Divide By
Morning Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
divided by an ocean
divide by thought
divide by color quotient
in times of war
we support our brother
in times of peace
divide by crew
divided block ta block
me & you
divided by a glock
divide by what you will
but the fact remains
that we wear the same chains
Right! Right!
we are all one
divided by one
come on unite for the one fight
there's no question we define divide
divide by age
divide by class & color
divide by dress
divide & hate eachother
never wait
speak the truth forever
don't hesitate
this is our sole endevour
we're the ones who make history happen
so drop your guns & speak of peace without laughing
seperation
every class & station & still there's no question
we define divine divide
breathe! breathe with me
leave your home
burn all you have
let it go
re-invent yourself
don't let anybody tell you how
fly! fly so high
sky below
Lead - Lead yourself
they'll follow
break all the rules
don't let anybody hold you now
The song "Divide By" by Morning Glory is a call for unity and an end to division. It begins with the lines "divide by one, divided by an ocean, divide by thought, divide by color quotient." These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, which goes on to describe various ways in which we divide ourselves from each other, including war, gangs, and prejudice based on factors like age and class.
The lyrics suggest that despite all these differences and divisions, we are all ultimately bound together by the same chains. The chorus affirms this message: "we are all one, divided by one, come on unite for the one fight, there's no question we define divide."
The song ends with a call to action: "breathe with me, leave your home, burn all you have, let it go, re-invent yourself, don't let anybody tell you how. Fly so high, lead yourself, break all the rules, don't let anybody hold you now." The message is clear: it's time to break down the barriers between ourselves and others and embrace our shared humanity.
