1) Ozma is a five-piece rock group from Pasadena, California, United States. Their sound is a mix of new wave-influenced power pop and rock with Casiotone-driven melodies and heavy guitar riffs. The complexity of Ozma's songs grew considerably during the band's initial nine-year history, and after their split in 2004 they announced their reformation in early 2006.
The band was formed in September 1995 by Ryen Slegr (vocals/guitar), Daniel Brummel (vocals/bass), Jose Galvez (guitar/vocals), and Pat Edwards (drums), with the later addition of Star Wick (keyboard/flute). After assembling a collection of early demos called Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars, the band self-released their first proper full-length Rock and Roll Part 3 on January 1st, 2000. Characterized by distorted guitars, melodic basslines, keyboard-driven hooks, vocal harmonies, and confessional lyrics, the album won the band considerable acclaim via the Internet -- Ozma was one formative success story of online word-of-mouth via Napster and MP3.com. Ultimately, buzz surrounding the band became loud enough to reach Weezer, who would eventually take Ozma (along with The Get Up Kids) on their first arena tour in 2001.
Ozma's second self-released full-length, The Doubble Donkey Disc, saw their sound branch out considerably into complex harmonies and long instrumental passages in mocking homage to prog- and classic-rock. The first half was united by Russian instruments, melodies and allusions, while the second half was more frenetic and attempted to briefly spotlight each member of the band - another tenet of classic rock. In 2001 the band signed to Kung Fu Records, owned by Joe Escalante of The Vandals. Kung Fu remastered and re-released Rock and Roll Part 3 and The Doubble Donkey Disc to a much larger audience, and the band embarked on several national tours including another stint with Weezer (the 2002 Extended Midget tour with Saves The Day) and the 2002 Warped Tour, as well as club tours with Nada Surf, Rilo Kiley, Piebald, Superdrag, and Rooney.
The band's third and final album before a long hiatus was 2003's Spending Time on the Borderline, produced by Chris Fudurich (Nada Surf). More unique, mature, orchestral, and sonically diverse than the first two albums, Spending Time... still dipped into pseudo-prog and classic-rock novelty that the band had briefly explored on The Doubble Donkey Disc. The stress of touring eventually wore down the band, and the quintet called it quits in July 2004 after several months on the road promoting Spending Time on the Borderline. The members went back to school and pursued side-projects; notably, Brummel released a collection of folk-influenced recordings called Speak Easy, and Slegr & Galvez performed and recorded as Yes Dear with Nate Greely of Arlo.
The band reunited for several sold-out shows in Los Angeles in 2006 with Kenn Shane (formerly of Addison) replacing Edwards on drums, and remains together. After previewing several demos and videos of the recording sessions on their MySpace page in late 2006 and early 2007, their fourth album, Pasadena, was released in May 2007.
Ozma headlined their own tour through the Summer of 2007 with newcomers The Actual and Eastern Conference Champions backing them up. In the Fall of 2007 they toured as the backing band to both Blue October and Shiny Toy Guns throughout The United States.
In 2014, Ozma self-released their 5th album Boomtown.

Ozma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's been a crash that's obstructing the line
And I'm gonna sing you a song that no sane man should be singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Extraordinary love will save us from the skies above
Only on a day like this
Seal it with a hopeful kiss
But they won't let you know that they're taking it by force
And down in the depths of my heart there is regret and remorse
But let's not beat a dead horse
Cause the past cannot be changed
History never rearranged
Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this
When you wake up, take a look around
Only with a hopeful kiss
Will we see our way through this
When you wake up, take a look around
Watch the pillars crumble slowly to the ground
Watch them as they crumble slowly to the ground
In OZMA's song "Curve in the Old 1-9," the lyrics describe a scene of a crash at a curve in the old 1-9 that is obstructing the line. The singer is about to sing a song that no sane person should be singing, but he can't stop his ears from ringing. The singer talks about how extraordinary love will save us from the skies above and how on a day like this, it is necessary to seal it with a hopeful kiss.
The lyrics then move onto the idea that we are destined to take a righteous course, however, unknown forces are taking it by force, and there is regret and remorse in the depths of the singer's heart. Despite the past cannot be changed, the singer urges that only a hopeful kiss will allow us to see our way through. As the song progresses, it talks about pillars crumbling to the ground, encouraging the listener to take a look around when they wake up.
The song, though it may seem a little cryptic, has an underlying message of hope and love. It urges us to take charge of our destiny and to keep hope and love alive, even in the face of chaos and disaster. It encourages us to look around us and take note of the changes that are happening, both good and bad. Overall, the message of the song is hopeful and inspiring, despite the possibly catastrophic event of the crash at the curve in the old 1-9.

Down at the curve in the old 1-9
At the corner on Route 19, there has been a car accident blocking the road

An accident has happened and is preventing people from being able to drive on this road
And I'm gonna sing you a song that no sane man should be singing
I am going to sing a song about a difficult and painful situation that most people would avoid talking about
But my ears won't stop ringing
I am still haunted by the sounds of the crash
Extraordinary love will save us from the skies above
A powerful love can protect us from harm that comes from above
Only on a day like this
This is a unique and difficult situation that requires special attention
Seal it with a hopeful kiss
Let's end our prayers or wishes with a positive and optimistic gesture
Destined to take you down a righteous course
You are meant to follow a good path in life
But they won't let you know that they're taking it by force
Others may try to force you onto a different path than the one you are meant to take
And down in the depths of my heart there is regret and remorse
I feel deep sadness and guilt over past mistakes
But let's not beat a dead horse
Let's not dwell on past mistakes and regrets
Cause the past cannot be changed
There is no use in trying to change things that have already happened
History never rearranged
The past will always remain the same, no matter how hard we try to change it
When you wake up, take a look around
When you face difficult situations in life, it's important to assess the situation and understand what's going on
Watch the pillars crumble slowly to the ground
See how the things that used to hold us up fall apart gradually, and recognize that we need to rebuild in a new and better way
Only with a hopeful kiss
As we face the challenges that life throws our way, it's important to remain hopeful
Will we see our way through this
If we stay positive and work together, we can overcome any challenge

Omza is just intrinsically good. They don't even have to try.

Best song on the album until Restart. And Restart wouldn't be nearly as powerful without this song setting the stage of intensity that OZMA rarely shows.

Such an underestimated song fron such an undererestimated band
Andrew Kromidas
I think you mean under rated not underestimated. Underestimated means that you estimate it smaller than it actually is. Under rated means that it is not noticed by many people and/or rated below what it should be

I saw Covid 19 within the title, so I listened to this song again. Now it all makes sense.
