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.

On my Mind
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When are you ever gonna give me some?
I hope you come around from time
And everything will be just fine, fine, fine cause
I see that you got what I want
I see that you got what I need, yeah
So come on baby, come and get with me, oh-oh-oh, yeah
The words were on the tip of my tongue
But now I feel like a rat in a cage
Girl, you've got me sprung because
Love, a love, a la love it is on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
Well, you never even talk to me
I'm not a beggar, but I'm down on my knees
Oh, if I ever get the courage to do, yeah
Oh, half of the things I wanted to do to you
I saw you walking away in a distance now
Whoa ooh, whoa ooh, ooh whoa, yeah
Walking away in a distance now, oh, oh, yeah
It seems like yesterday
The words were on the tip of my tongue, ooh
But now I feel like a rat in a cage
Girl, you've got me sprung because
Love, a love, a la love it is on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
A love, a love, a la love it's on my mind
Oh yeah, it's on my mind
It's on my mind
It's on my mind
It's on my mind, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, ey yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, aha, yeah
The song "On My Mind" by Rebelution talks about an unrequited love that the singer has been experiencing. From the very first line of the song, "You got me screaming from the top of my lungs, when are you ever gonna give me some?" it's clear that the singer is quite frustrated with the fact that he's not getting any attention from the girl he's in love with. He's hoping that someday she'll notice him and they can be together, and that everything will be "just fine, fine, fine." The lyrics, "I see that you got what I want, I see that you got what I need, yeah, so come on baby, come and get with me, oh-oh-oh, yeah" are an expression of the singer's strong desire to be with this girl.
The second verse sees the singer admitting that he's never really spoken to the girl he's in love with. He mentions the fact that he's not a beggar, but he's down on his knees, hoping that someday she'll pay attention to him. He's also quite frustrated at the fact that he's never been able to tell her all the things he wanted to do to her if he ever got the chance. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the fact that love is constantly on the singer's mind. The song ends with a few repetitions of the chorus and some ad-libs.

You got me screaming from the top of my lungs
You have my heart racing and emotions running high to the point where I cannot contain my feelings anymore and I just want to shout from the rooftops.
When are you ever gonna give me some?
When will you reciprocate my feelings and give me a chance to be with you?
I hope you come around from time
I hope that you will occasionally think of me and the possibility of us being together.

So come on baby, come and get with me, oh-oh-oh, yeah
I am inviting you to take a chance and explore what could be an amazing connection between us.
It seems like yesterday
It feels like it was only recently that I realized my romantic interest in you.
The words were on the tip of my tongue
I had so many things I wanted to say to you about my feelings, but I held back because I was afraid of how you might react.
But now I feel like a rat in a cage
I feel trapped and unable to act on my feelings or share my emotions with you.
Girl, you've got me sprung because
I am deeply attracted to you and cannot stop thinking about you, even though you may not feel the same way about me.
Love, a love, a la love it is on my mind
Thoughts of love and a potential romantic connection with you are constantly on my mind.
Well, you never even talk to me
You don't give me the time of day or acknowledge my existence, which makes it even harder for me to express my feelings to you.
I'm not a beggar, but I'm down on my knees
I have too much self-respect to beg for your attention or affection, but I am still hoping that you will notice me and give me a chance.
Oh, if I ever get the courage to do, yeah
I am waiting for the right opportunity to arise where I can muster up the courage and vulnerability to express my feelings to you.
Oh, half of the things I wanted to do to you
I have imagined so many scenarios in my head where we could be together and share intimate moments, but I am too afraid to act on them without knowing how you feel.
I saw you walking away in a distance now
I have watched you walk away from me so many times that it has become a painful reminder of how distant our connection really is.
Whoa ooh, whoa ooh, ooh whoa, yeah
I am overwhelmed with sadness and disappointment every time I see you walk away or ignore me.
Oh yeah, it's on my mind
I cannot get you out of my head, no matter how hard I try.
Ah, aha, yeah
I am resigned to my feelings for you, even though I know it may not work out and I may end up getting hurt.
