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.
Let Go
Near Miss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The best things in life can't always last
So spend it right it might be your last time
To think to see what's wrong and right
To live to find what's deep inside
It's all apart of your sad lost life
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do
Got better things to do
So time is up everyone has had enough
You lost your world, someday you'll lose the girl
It's time to think life isn't something free
You made your bed you better lie in it
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do
This world isn't good enough for me
Got better things to do
And everything you wanted
And everything you know
And everything you wanted
You just let go
You just let go
Everything you need
You just let go
An unfinished dream
Everything you need
It's not what it seems
You just let go
And everything you wanted
And everything you know
And everything you wanted
You just let go
You just let go
An unfinished dream
Everything you need
It's not what it seems
The lyrics to Near Miss's song Let Go are about the fleetingness of life and the importance of making the most of the time we have. The song begins with the recognition that time goes by quickly and that the best things in life do not always last. The singer encourages listeners to spend their time wisely, to reflect on what is truly important, and to search within themselves for answers. However, the song is also tinged with a sense of sadness and loss - the world is not good enough for the singer, and they have "better things to do" than to remain in it.
As the song progresses, the tone becomes more urgent. The singer warns that "time is up" and that it is time to face the consequences of our choices. Life is not something that comes for free; we must take responsibility for our actions and face the consequences. Ultimately, the song is about the difficulty of letting go of the things that we have built our lives around, whether those things are relationships, dreams, or possessions. We must learn to accept that the things we once held dear may no longer be what we need or want, and that it is okay to let go and move on.
Overall, Let Go is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to reflect on their lives and make the most of the time they have. It is a reminder that life is fleeting, that we must take responsibility for our actions, and that it is okay to let go of the things that no longer serve us.
