The 4 piece took a do-it-yourself approach to the business and set out touring across the US and Canada. With the help from some friends and the support of their new fans they found themselves headlining and sharing stages with bands such as Sum41, Gob, The Vandals, Goldfinger, Story Of The Year, Yellowcard, Mest, The Distillers and Down By Law.
Their hard work paid off and the Austin based NearMiss was welcomed into Fearless Records based in Orange County, California. Their freshman album The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies debuted in July 2002 and has sold over 7,000 copies to date. The album was quickly championed by Austin's Modern Rock 101X, where the band remains a station favorite. The year also brought a change in line up when they lost Sean whom has yet to be replaced.
Throughout 2003 and 2004 the band continued to tour aggressively and made their first appearance on the Vans Warped Tour. Their hearting pounding performances earned the guys a spot on the 2004 warped compilation which pressed and distributed over 500,000 copies in the US and Canada.
Now a part of Takeover Records Family the band's potential is limitless and holds a promising future in 2005. Their first release is a 3 way split featuring The Matches (Epitaph) and Reeve Oliver (The Militia Group) in stores everywhere June 28th. Also except the bandís sophomore full length which is slated for release in this fall. NearMiss will be on the road the remainder of the year, so look for them on this summer's Warped Tour and other national tours including Story of the Year and Goldfinger.
Everything And Everyone
Near Miss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone in her lazy time in-between a thought that ends with loss
Her life is spent searching for the next
An answer a question never asked
Everything and everyone finds their time
Everything and everyone writes their line
But it seems hard now things work out in time
Never once identified her lonely nights
Spending days alone but through the phone
She waits for a voice to calm her name
Then takes a drink says it makes me sane
She lives through a dream she once called fate
Then finds herself alone to contemplate
Everything and everyone finds their time
Everything and everyone writes their line
But it seems hard now things work out in time
The song "Everything And Everyone" by Near Miss seems to be about a woman who is constantly searching for answers and connections in life. The first verse describes her not being afraid of her past and spending her time in deep thought, but ultimately feeling lost. The second verse goes on to highlight her lack of self-worth and reliance on others to calm her.
The chorus serves as a reminder that everyone and everything has its own path and destiny, but sometimes it's difficult to see how things will work out. It could be interpreted as a message of hope, that in the end, everything will fall into place, but also acknowledges the struggle and uncertainty that we all face.
