Their smart song writing blends the five different musical styles of each band member. Whether it be pop punk, prog. rock to just straight rock and roll, these boys write vivacious, catchy songs that get audiences dancing and singing along.

They have the heart of at least 10 champion bull fighters. And these boys play hard, like a rock, which is rather appropriate because they're a rock band. Not so unlike a finely aged wine, it's clear that they just keep getting better with age.

Reckless Serenade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel a heartbreak?
No, no, my weeping willow, are you okay?
Do you feel that earthquake?
No, no, where's your glow?
You are not the same.
Sleep in, don't worry your head, your head, your head.
Stay calm, don't fathom the words we never said.

Hold on, don't let go.
Hold on, don't let go.

Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
Stay with me, stay with me.
Don't fade into the Background, the fading lights and sounds.
Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
Stay with me, stay with me.
Don't fade into the Background, the background.

Can you feel your hands shake?
No, no, my weeping willow, you can't fake this.
Do you miss the old days?
No, no, I know, it feels like you cannot escape.
Where did all the Sundays go where we stayed in?
When did Fall get cold again, where have we been?

Hold on, don't let go.
Hold on, don't let go.

Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
Stay with me, stay with me.
Don't fade into the Background, the fading lights and sounds.
Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
Stay with, stay with me.
Don't fade into the Background, into the background.

Is the best that we can do?
Counting cobwebs in your room, silently sinking, selfishly pouring more salt in these wounds.
Is this the best we can do?
While these static spirits loom, silently screaming, haunting our hearts, binding us both to the truth.

Stay strong, we're in this together.
We can't fight the storm, but we can sure brave the weather.

Hold on, don't let go.
Hold on, don't let go.

Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
(Hold on, don't let go.)
Stay with me, stay with me.
(Hold on, don't let go.)
Don't fade into the Background, the fading lights and sounds.
Stay with me, stay with me tonight.
Stay with me, stay with me.
Don't fade into the Background, the Background.

(End)
