With passionate music, intense vocals and songs that parallel the day-to-day issues that we all face, One Less Reason touches people in a way that fosters a fierce loyalty and connection between band and fan that is rare in music today. OLR is Cris Brown (vocals), Ryan Giles (guitar), Brad Butler (guitar), Terry Brown (bass), and Jeff Moore (drums), but it is also much bigger than any of the individual members. OLR is truly a family. The band is as devoted to their fans as their fans are to the band. With over 100,000 Myspace friends, OLR has become an internet phenomenon that process that it is possible to draw a fan from virtually every demographic. With a recent string of radio successes and sold out shows throughout the southeast and Midwest, One Less Reason is writing a story that is increasingly impossible to ignore.
One Less Reason continues to dominate the charts at alternative addition with their latest single “Seasons” which held the number one spot for a month and remained on the chart for 15 weeks. More recently, “Seasons” stirred a buzz on a national level at commercial rock radio stations around the country. Although radio spins often elude the unsigned, this act has managed to grab rotation on 102.3 in Jackson, TN. Z95 in Poplar Bluff, MO. Z98.5 Tupelo, MS and Nashville’s favorite 102.9 The Buzz to get started…
With their explosive live performance, they have captured the attention of the media and have become crowd favorites at showcases and music festivals such as FMF and Memphis in May 2010. Their consistent draw has earned them the honor of opening for acts like Shinedown, Godsmack, Hinder, Taking Back Sunday, Aaron Lewis, OneRepublic, Theory of A Deadman, and 10 Years.
In addition to heavy touring, One Less Reason’s recognition landed a licensing agreement with National Retail Powerhouse, “Buckle,” a single, “A Day to Be Alone,” featured in the file “Hero Wanted” with Cuba Gooding Jr and Ray Liotta.
Criss Brown now has a side project called "Jassepy Moses and The Vagytarians"

One Less Reason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never see it from your view
And since then I don't have much to give
I hear I never meant that much to you, and I'm sorry...
I close my eyes and it's just your face
And on my heart I wrote your name
I want you to be free, I want you to be free from me
(Chorus)
Hear me laugh or see me smile but know inside my heart is breaking
It's been so long since I've seen your face and I'm not sure that I can make it
Through this life another day, with ?alone? written on my label
I wonder, did you feel the same?
You said that one day you?ll have chance to love
I guess I didn't get that choice
And I know someone sings the song, the song of your heart
I guess I didn't have the voice, and I'm sorry...
I close my eyes and it's just your face
And on my heart I wrote your name
I want you to be free, I want you to be free from me
(Chorus)
Hear me laugh or see me smile But know inside my heart is breaking
It's been so long since I've seen your face and I'm not sure that I can make it
Through this life another day, with ?alone? written on my label
I wonder did you feel the that way?
And now we?re saying?
La da de da da
Oh la da oh la de da
La da de da da
Oh la da oh la de da
La da de da da
Oh la da oh la de da
La da de da da de da
(Chrous)
You hear me laugh and see me smile but inside my heart is breaking
It?s been so long since I?ve seen your face?.
Hear me laugh or see me smile but know inside my heart is breaking
It's been so long since I've seen your face and I'm not sure that I can make it
Through this life another day, with ?alone? written on my label
I wonder, did you feel that way?
Hear me laugh and see me smile but know inside my heart is breaking
It?s been so long since I?ve seen your face and I?m not sure that I can make it
Through this life another day, with ?alone? written on and we say?.
La da de da da
Oh la da oh la de da

The lyrics of One Less Reason's song "Labeled" speaks about the heart-wrenching pain of a breakup, and how it leaves a person feeling incomplete and worthless without their partner. The singer acknowledges that he now realizes that he never saw things from his partner's perspective, and this leads him to feel guilty about the way things ended. He admits that he feels helpless since he has nothing to offer to his former partner, and he's remorseful for not understanding her better.
The lyrics of the chorus express the profound sadness that the singer feels at the separation. He puts on a brave front while hiding the pain he's feeling inside. He questions whether his partner feels the same way as he does since he's labeled as "alone" now. The final stanza speaks about the singer saying "La da de da da oh la da oh la de da," which is portraying the feeling of disinterest in whatever new thing is happening in the world since he is still stuck on his break up and hasn't moved on."
