The record itself wouldn't have been the same without the brilliant friendship and guidance of producer Chris Badami (The Early November, The Starting Line), an awesome mastering job by Scott Hull (John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen), or the chops of all of the friends that joined Pete in the studio. We could get into Pete's influences or who we think he sounds like, but the fact is that it isn't important to us because it isn't important to him. At 21, his only concern now is climbing his own ladder of self-realization, wherever it may lead.
To clear up any confusion... after a year of traveling the country solo and with a band, Pete decided in September of 2007 to opt out of his contract with former record label Regular Music due to obligations that weren't being met. He began attending classes in the fall again at the University of Akron as an Accounting major specializing in Music Business. He stayed busy playing solo gigs out of town almost every weekend throughout the midwest, and is continuing to do so. He is taking things slow this winter to write and demo a new record of undetermined length... to be released independently, unless something else comes up!

Pete Nischt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you know I'm not one to laugh when i see you
I still love you.
Wake up girl, you gotta check yourself
Are the words you say all the things yuo felt?
I can't trust you, oh but I love you.
Find a way to let you know
Why God himself let loneliness be
The one to cure this all.
We got three whole years nailed under the belt
I would've given it up if I knew how this felt
Just to lose you, ohh you must love you.
She's got two good chances now to let me go
And I know she'll take them, I know she will
'Cause she wants you, oh whenever you want to
And so I'll wait for the row
Find a way to let you know
Why God himself let loneliness be
The one to cure this all.
But it's not his fault, sometimes you just gotta fall.
I guess sometimes you just gotta fall.
Ba ba badada...
Ba ba badada...
Ba ba badada da da...
Ba ba badada...
And so I'll wait for the row
Find a way to let you know
Why God himself let loneliness be
The one to cure this all.
Yeah, the one to cure this all
The song "Cure" by Pete Nischt speaks to the difficulties and complexities of love and relationships. The opening lines acknowledge that some people face difficult times, and the singer expresses his empathy towards them. He then turns his attention towards his own troubled relationship, acknowledging that he still loves his partner despite the challenges they face. The lyrics suggest that the woman in the relationship has been saying things that may not reflect her true feelings, leaving the singer unable to trust her, yet still loving her.
The chorus reveals the central theme of the song, which is the idea that loneliness can be the 'cure' for relationship troubles. It acknowledges the pain and hardship that can come with loneliness, yet suggests that it can also be a necessary and transformative experience. The bridge repeats the idea that sometimes we just have to "fall", and that this is not necessarily anyone's fault. In this way, the song reflects on the complexities of love and the challenges of finding a way forward through difficult times.
