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 ↴
To be left out there
In the smoke in the cold
The midnight air
Does it hurt does it burn
To be unaware of the torture
Of a white lie
I don't know where you are so
Why do i care i know we're both
Even so whys it feel unfair
Some say that four seasons
Are enough for a lifetime
Of change i hope when you
Think of me you remember the
Love that i gave
(when our seasons change)
Hows it feel can you deal
With the rise and fall
Of a life that ignites
Like a mirror ball and i
Wonder are still afraid of
The dark
I don't know where you are so
Why do i care i know we're both
Even so whys it feel unfair
Some say that four seasons
Are enough for a lifetime
Of change and i hope when you
Think of me you remember the
Love that i gave
This is the life i left behind
This is the memory of you
Thats still embedded in my mind
Some say that four seasons
Are enough for a lifetime
Of change and i hope when you
Think of me you remember the
Love that i gave
(when our seasons change)x2
The lyrics of One Less Reason's song "Seasons" speak about the pain of being left alone and forgotten by someone who was once important to us. The opening lines "Hows it feel hows it feel To be left out there In the smoke in the cold The midnight air" paint a picture of someone standing alone in the cold and dark, feeling abandoned and hurt. The next lines "Does it hurt does it burn To be unaware of the torture Of a white lie" suggest that the person who left might have lied to them or betrayed their trust, causing intense emotional pain.
The chorus "Some say that four seasons Are enough for a lifetime Of change and i hope when you Think of me you remember the Love that i gave" reminds us that no matter how much time passes or what changes occur, the love that was once shared between two people remains. The singer hopes that even if they are forgotten, the love they gave will be remembered. The last lines "This is the life I left behind This is the memory of you That's still embedded in my mind" signify that even though the singer has moved on, memories of the person they once loved still haunt them.
