Rebelution kicked off their “Peace of Mind Tour” the day after the release, selling out shows at Philly’s The Electric Factory, The Hollywood Palladium, Denver’s The Fillmore, The Fox Theater in Oakland and Hard Rock in Orlando, FL. The tour made stops in a total of 42 cities across the country.
Summer 2012 was spent supporting O.A.R on their Amphitheatre tour, headlining four amphitheaters in Florida as well as festival performances at Outside Lands, Hangout, Forecastle, Summer Camp, Summer Set, The Allman Bro’s Peach Festival and two performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. After completing a Fall tour of the East and South East, Rebelution will be headlining The Hollywood Palladium on New Years Eve, heading to New Zealand for the Raggamuffins Festival in February and headlining their annual Winter Greens Tour around the USA in Feb - May 2013.
Peace of Mind marks the first time Rebelution has expanded beyond their usual self-production enlisting producers Michael Goldwasser (Easy Star All-Stars), Amp Live (Zion-I), Yeti Beats (Kool Keith, George Clinton), Keith Armstrong and Errol Brown (Stephen, Ziggy, Damian, and Bob Marley). The album builds upon the band’s signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle “Route Around” to the driving guitar and synths throughout “Lady In White”.
Rebelution has developed into a front-runner for grassroots, independent and tour driven music groups. Originally formed in 2004, members Eric Rachmany (vocals / guitar), Rory Carey (keyboards), Wesley Finley (drums), and Marley D. Williams (bass) met in college, while residing in Isla Vista, a popular beachside community in Santa Barbara. It was there that the seeds to Rebelution’s future were planted creating inspiring and engaging music that would leave their listeners with the sense that they have the power to make this world a better place. The band continuously tours across the country, ventured to South America and Europe, and has previously performed at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits among others.

Fade Away
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will be alone
Cuz I know this won't last forever
Here's a toast to your unknown
Mother of us all
You and I are one together
I know this won't last forever
Waking up to your eye
I don't have an answer
And so I think I know you better
Waking up to your eye
And multi-colored sunsets
You're the one who gives me shelter
I know this won't last forever
But I wish this would last forever
Keeping it calm
Until we all fade away and move on
Keeping it calm
Until we all fade away you live on
The song "Fade Away" by Rebelution is a reflection on the transience of life and relationships. The first verse acknowledges that everything in life eventually comes to an end, and that even though things may be good now, they won't last forever. The lyrics are directed towards a nameless person, with whom the singer has shared a close bond. Despite the positive feelings that exist between them, the singer knows that ultimately they will be left alone.
In the second verse, the singer describes waking up to the person's eye and feeling a sense of gratitude and safety. The "multi-colored sunsets" suggest that there is beauty in the world, but the focus remains on the relationship between the two individuals. The singer wishes that their connection could last forever, even as they both know that it won't.
The refrain of the song, "Keeping it calm until we all fade away and move on," implies that the best way to deal with the transient nature of life is to remain calm and to appreciate the present moment. The repetition of the line "keeping it calm" suggests a sense of resolve or determination in the face of inevitable change. The final line, "you live on," suggests that even after someone has passed away or a relationship has ended, their memory continues to endure.

When all of this is said and done
After everything has been said and done
You will be alone
You will be by yourself
Cuz I know this won't last forever
Because I am aware that this cannot carry on indefinitely
Here's a toast to your unknown
A celebration to the uncertainty that lies ahead of you
Mother of us all
The universal mother who nurtures all of us
You and I are one together
We are unified as one entity
But I wish this would last forever
Despite knowing it will not, I hope it could carry on indefinitely
Waking up to your eye
Opening my eyes to the sight of yours
I don't have an answer
I am unable to provide a response
And so I think I know you better
Therefore I believe I have a deeper understanding of you
And multi-colored sunsets
The diverse and vibrant sunsets
You're the one who gives me shelter
You provide me with protection and comfort
Keeping it calm
Maintaining a state of tranquility
Until we all fade away and move on
Until all of us eventually dissipate and continue on
Until we all fade away you live on
Even after we all disappear, you will persist
