1) Recover comes to u… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three bands called Recover:
1) Recover comes to us from Austin, TX. Started by four young childhood friends as a Green Day cover band, the reclusive set eventually found a sound of their own that defies today’s incessant need for sub-categories. If you can’t resist, Recover is a rock band, pure and simple.
After releasing their first full length “Rodeo and Picasso” in 2001 on indie Fueled By Ramen, at an average age of just 18, Recover was approached to release an EP with another indie, Fiddler, later that year. 'Ceci N'est Pas Recover' was recorded in 2002, with producer Brian McTernan, at Salad Days studio in Beltsville, Maryland. Slowly pulling out an evolved sound, Recover found their voice and set their sights on touring. Their raucous live show and strong original songwriting quickly made them a bands’ band leading to a slew of great touring partners. They hit the road relentlessly for two years with peers including Jimmy Eat World, A.F.I., Taking Back Sunday, Coheed & Cambria, Thrice, Thursday and many others. After signing with Strummer/Universal records the band spent the second part of 2003 writing and recording their major label debut due out in the fall of 2004. Recorded by hometown friend and confidant ‘5th member’ Rory Phillips and mixed by the legendary Andy Wallace, the album combines the raw emotion and experimental musicianship that encompasses the ‘best of’ their previous two efforts.
In early 2009, the band announced that they have officially reunited and that their first show back will be at the Chain Reaction.
2) Recover is also a Hardcore band from Singapore. Their S/T album is the second full length from this old Singaporean band. This full length retains the old school hardcore sound with plenty of breakdowns, sing alongs, fingerpoints and mosh parts with a slight metallic feel. The production is superb but not overly done. Lyrics deal with socio politcal issues like the Bush administration, the UN, IMF and more. Comes in a tri fold digipack. A classic.
3) Recover is a currently unsigned rock band based in County Carlow, Ireland. The four members are originally from Co. Carlow, Co. Wicklow, Co. Dublin and Turkey. The band began in 2008. Recover play covers as well as a handful of original songs.
Pardon the Wait
Recover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Towards your belief system and your hypocrisy.
No regrets, no remorse.
Take your time to build yourself,
Learn from us.
And I know what you're missing
And I know it's convincing to tell yourself
That you're not a shell,
That you've got something else,
But you're not that strong.
You look around and soon you'll see.
Soon you'll know where you went wrong.
The lyrics to “Pardon the Wait” by Recover are a powerful commentary on the human condition and the struggles that we all face at one point or another. The song challenges us to look deep into our belief systems and the things that we hold sacred, and to confront any hypocrisy that we may find there.
The opening lines of the song contain a clear message of forgiveness, as the singer asks us to “pardon the hate and the animosity” that may exist towards our belief systems. This is a call to put aside our differences and find common ground, even if it means admitting that we might have been wrong in the past.
The chorus of the song is perhaps the most powerful part, as it implores us to take responsibility for our own lives and “build ourselves” rather than relying on others to do it for us. The lines “no regrets, no remorse” reinforce this message, reminding us that it’s up to us to make the most of our lives and to learn from our mistakes.
The second verse of the song takes a more personal turn, as the singer addresses someone who is struggling with their own sense of self-worth or identity. The lines “I know what you’re missing” and “you’re not that strong” are both powerful, but they are delivered with a sense of empathy and understanding. The final lines of the song are a warning, as the singer tells us that if we don’t take the time to reflect on our lives, we’ll soon “know where you went wrong.”
Overall, “Pardon the Wait” is a powerful song that challenges us to take control of our own lives and to confront the things that may be holding us back. It’s a reminder that we are all imperfect, but we have the power to change and grow if we’re willing to put in the work.
