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.
Quemar las Fronteras
Morning Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find it blocked by ignorance
The civil sentries' fence
Keeps the poor outside the wall
Control apartheid comptroller
You are not welcome hence
Here now are lines you can't cross
Corrupt from the pen to the fence
At many our own blood's expense
No more will borders hold us from the world we own
We are all global citizens free to roam
Burn imaginary lines of land owners
No longer governments will hold us prisoners
The ostentatious walls display
The upper class' right of way
The opulence and lie
This world was made for you and me
It belongs to none and all for free
Clan terra firma, try
Cuz baby I'm Jesus upside down
And you - you are Judas with a crown
The song "Quemar Las Fronteras" by the punk rock band Morning Glory has lyrics that speak out against the idea of borders and the people who use them as a way to keep others out. The lyrics suggest that borders have been created based on ignorance, and that the people who maintain and enforce them are corrupt. The "civil sentries" mentioned in the song are the border control agents who are tasked with keeping out those who are deemed unwelcome.
The song argues that the world was made for everyone, not just those who are privileged enough to live in certain areas. Borders, according to the song, are not natural but man-made, and therefore, it is within our power to overcome them. The chorus of the song declares that we are all global citizens and should be free to roam wherever we please, without being held prisoner by governments.
In the final verse, the singer takes a more personal approach, referring to themselves as "Jesus upside down" - a reversal of the biblical story of Jesus' crucifixion - and calling out those who would betray them as "Judas with a crown." This verse adds a religious dimension to the song's message, suggesting that the idea of open borders and free movement is in line with the teachings of Jesus.
