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.
War Returns
Morning Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feel my heart flood as i pound the mud
but i know that that's ok
peace accords dissolve
inhumanities resolve
the boots upon my feet
a soldiers quick retreat
i'll carry on my way
quick descent
chaos event
it's imminent now
words that turn to fears every couple of years
time will tell us true
war is overdue
but i know that that's ok
there will be another day
waiting for a new repore
a brand new war
slowly slide away
dying for your way
can't you see...
that under mountains of money
you'll find all the bodies of brethren
there is no one answer
to rqual the sum of your questions
juts aim high defend yourself
and look around you
try and call the truth
as the wars rage..
The lyrics of Morning Glory's song "War Returns" are full of emotion and paint a picture of the devastation that war brings to earth. The first few lines express the idea that war destroys everything in its path and that there is no rebirth after it. The pounding heart of the soldier can be felt through these lines, and it is clear that the experience of war is a traumatizing one. Despite this, the soldier accepts this as an inevitable reality and continues to carry on.
The next lines highlight the futility of peace accords and the inevitability of war. Inhumanities are resolved through war, and soldiers are forced to retreat quickly. But even in the face of this, the soldier knows that he/she must carry on, and there will be another day of war. The lyrics also mention the anticipation of a new war, which is waiting to happen. The image of slowly sliding away and dying for one's way depicts the despair that war brings.
The lyrics go on to criticize the idea of engaging in wars for money and the cost it brings to human life. The ending lines of the song encourage individuals to aim high, defend themselves, and look around them, calling for the truth to be revealed in the midst of wars.

@Nathan Dean that's the part haha thanks for this this sounds good to me for the first part! let me know if you are able to figure out the rest lol thanks again
Nathan Dean
If you're talking about that part at 2:43 I'm confused as you but my best guess is D string 4-4-5-4-4-7-4-4-5-4-4-7-4-4-5-4-4 then that repeats. But after that first couple parts of that breakdown is fucked and the rest I'm still trying to figure out but I know it involves using the D major scale for sure
