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.

Those Days
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There were dark clouds hovering over the city where I stay
I don't recollect clear days, mostly the fog and the haze
Because the city by the Bay stays grey
But that's what made it great, consistently the same
Also I hated it when I wanted a change
But I wasn't afraid, back then I thought that I would live for days
A year was an eternity so yeah, I thought I had it made
But I kept it hush, kept it hush, kept it hush
Yeah I kept it quiet and I never opened up
Made my own philosophy, the system is corrupt
Made my own decision that I'd had enough
I just never found what some say I would find
I was making music just so I could pass the time
Stored it in my mind, pushed it to the side
Realized that there was lots to criticize
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
When it got to May and we all celebrate
First time it hit me, adding numbers to my name
And I start to see, every day was a routine
Get up in the morning, same thing every week
But I didn't speak, never opened up my mouth
Pretended I was listening when I was spacing out
Started to have doubts instead of me being devout
I would've said it loud but I didn't think that was allowed
But I kept it hush, kept it hush, kept it hush
Yeah I kept it quiet and I never opened up
Made my own philosophy, the system is corrupt
Made my own decision that I'd had enough
I just never found what some say I would find
I was making music just so I could pass the time
Stored it in my mind, pushed it to the side
Realized that there was lots to criticize
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
On some days, some days
I think about those days, those days
Some days, some days
Reminisce about those days, those days
The lyrics of Rebelution's song "Those Days" reflect on the singer's past experiences and emotions. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about their childhood and the constant presence of dark clouds and fog in their city. Despite the often gloomy atmosphere, the singer admits that it was these elements that made their city unique and memorable. However, as they got older, they longed for change and grew dissatisfied with the consistent sameness.
The singer then delves into their personal struggles and dissatisfaction with the system. They kept their thoughts and feelings to themselves, choosing to remain quiet and closed-off. They developed their own philosophy, realizing that the system was corrupt, and decided that they had enough of it. The singer admits to making music as a form of escape and a way to pass the time, but also acknowledges that they stored their critical thoughts to the side, perhaps not fully expressing their discontent.

Ever since the day I was born
From the very beginning of my life
There were dark clouds hovering over the city where I stay
The city I live in has always been gloomy and filled with problems
I don't recollect clear days, mostly the fog and the haze
I don't remember experiencing many joyful or clear moments, just a constant feeling of confusion and uncertainty
Because the city by the Bay stays grey
The city I live in, known as the city by the Bay, remains dull and colorless
But that's what made it great, consistently the same
Despite its gloominess, the city's consistency brought a sense of uniqueness and greatness
Also I hated it when I wanted a change
However, I despised the lack of variety and the desire for something different
But I wasn't afraid, back then I thought that I would live for days
During that time, I possessed a fearless mentality, believing that I had an abundance of time ahead of me
A year was an eternity so yeah, I thought I had it made
In my perception, a single year felt like an eternity, leading me to think that everything was under my control
But I kept it hush, kept it hush, kept it hush
I chose to keep my thoughts and emotions hidden, never expressing them openly
Yeah I kept it quiet and I never opened up
I remained silent, never sharing my true feelings with anyone
Made my own philosophy, the system is corrupt
I developed my own belief system that criticized the flaws and corruption within society
Made my own decision that I'd had enough
I made a choice to reach a point where I had grown tired of everything
I just never found what some say I would find
Contrary to others' expectations, I never discovered what they claimed I would
I was making music just so I could pass the time
I turned to creating music as a way to occupy myself and escape from reality
Stored it in my mind, pushed it to the side
I kept my musical aspirations in the back of my mind, not giving them much importance
Realized that there was lots to criticize
Eventually, I came to the realization that there were numerous aspects of life that deserved criticism
When it got to May and we all celebrate
As the month of May arrived, a time of collective celebration
First time it hit me, adding numbers to my name
It was the first instance where I truly acknowledged the passing of time and aging as I grew another year older
And I start to see, every day was a routine
It became apparent to me that each day was a monotonous repetition of the same activities
Get up in the morning, same thing every week
Every morning, I would wake up to the exact same routine, week after week
But I didn't speak, never opened up my mouth
I chose not to voice my thoughts or share my feelings with others
Pretended I was listening when I was spacing out
I pretended to be attentive and engaged in conversations, even though my mind was elsewhere
Started to have doubts instead of me being devout
Rather than remaining loyal or dedicated, I began to question things and have doubts
I would've said it loud but I didn't think that was allowed
I had the urge to express myself loudly, but I believed that I wasn't allowed to do so
Reminisce about those days, those days
Reflecting and fondly remembering the past, specifically those particular times

It's wild how you can have a new rebelution song each week.
@historicallyinaccurate9720
Let's just agree Rebelution is the best music making group
@neilland3040
I relate it to being in your 30's. This album came out when Rachmany was 31?.. When I hit 30 I really started to think about things I thought I was secure in ..my mortality, my decisions, beliefs and values.... pillars of someones identity come into question... you have to decide what road you will take and how that impacts others... it makes you think of simpler times... reminisce on how you viewed the world before when you were teens and 20s...Those days.
@cameroncandelaria9688
I think its about not beleiving in yourself or thinking you cant make anything that anyone else in the world can enjoy an keeping those fellings bottled in i think this song is about getting passed that way of thinking thinking about those days that i held myself back from reaching my full potential just becuase i didnt think i could reach it even if i tried this song is about doubt an self hatred
@pelagic6
This song just kills it, one of my favs, lyrics and beat 👊🏻
@mrhuman9223
Well said brotha 👊🏽
@everestzak8307
