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.
The War Is Over
Morning Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bleeding sky and earth that's shelled
stand & wonder at the waste
for reasons that have now escaped
sprial killer
birds of war
grounding out
fires fall fast
downward spiral to a final blast
no one believes the earth will live to see
a hundred more years for sure
now the sun is waking up and the dusk is breaking up
hellish cause leaves purpose void
pursue suburban, paranoid shock from shelling
constant fear
peace falls in like a bleading tear
what now for society
war's a drunk general's anti-sobriety
battle lines re-drawn
boredom brings it on
grab your guns
war's begun...
The lyrics to Morning Glory's song, "The War is Over", is a powerful statement on the futility of war and the destruction it causes. The opening lines, "the war is over all that's failed bleeding sky and earth that's shelled" highlight the devastating aftermath of war, where both the natural and man-made world suffers. The lyrics suggest that the reasons for the war have now been forgotten, leaving only the destruction and pain in its wake. The lines "no one believes the earth will live to see a hundred more years for sure" highlights the bleak outlook on the future, where the devastation of war could have a lasting impact on the planet.
The middle part of the song features the destructive power of war, where the lyrics suggest a downward spiral to a final blast as the fires fall fast. It's a graphic portrayal of the destructive nature of war, highlighting the casualties and consequences of conflict. The following lines, "now the sun is waking up and the dusk is breaking up hellish cause leaves purpose void", highlight the pointlessness and aimlessness of war, where the destruction it causes leaves no real or meaningful purpose behind. The song, then, ends on a questioning note, asking "what now for society" in the face of such destruction and conflict.
