1) So began in 2… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band with So as their name:
1) So began in 2002 with the pair of Eriko Toyoda and Markus Popp (Oval, Microstoria). So is a true symmetrical duo as both members equally contribute to the songwriting and processing. An absolute departure from Oval, So’s debut CD is a melodic, at times soothing, technological demonstration. The album was initially begun as a reworking of a song cycle from Eri’s archives. These archives are comprised of a vast collection of diverse materials she recorded in her parents’ house in Mito-City, Japan. Their sound represents a shift away from the dense, abrasion of Oval's ground-breaking Commers series, and instead moves towards more airy and organic tones. The inclusion of vocals - processed and natural - and live instrumentation allow for So's music to expand far beyond the constraints of the purely digital.
Perhaps following formats will allow the listener to fully convey the peculiar and conflicting underlying personal and musical dynamics at work here. Despite the at times colorful, detailed and balanced musical presentation internally, So derives most of its momentum from constant confrontation with Markus and Eri’s conceptualizations and implementations of music. The actual collaborative process is more a resemblance of an 18th century naval battle than a convenience exercise in file sharing.
Fundamentally different in countless respects, Oval recordings are linear and strategic on the planning board as well as in practice. So, however, lost the compass from the beginning and is a free project. Recording of the final version of So began in 2002 and is actually not yet finished. Being more of a "tech demo" it was worked on until ten minutes before the FedEx person came to pick up the CD-R. Vocal recordings and guitar were re-recorded directly into the PowerBook’s internal mic.
Even though this CD is his most painstaking and complex work to date, Markus would like to see his contribution described as "art direction." Album artwork was created by Katsumi Yokota, the prolific Japanese illustrator who made contributions to the most experimental stages of the United Game Artist’s video game classic, Rez (released for Dreamcast and PS2 in 2002). There are no song titles as So finds it doesn’t make sense and is too much of a compromise to put English song titles to Japanese lyrics.
So’s live performance will be a significant departure from any of Markus’ past shows. For these, Markus and Eri decided to build a completely customized, So Fi-PA-system. They will consist of two Triode amplifiers based on ancient schematics, rated at 6-8 Watts each as well as a set of homemade broadband speakers consisting of 1950s broadband speakers (from movie theaters) using an empty bottle as a quasi-backloaded Tractrix (Spherical) horn and mounted in plain cardboard boxes. The sound produced is very trashy and peculiar. Both the speakers and amps are somewhat large, but not super-rugged. They are entirely transportable. To Markus, going retro-HiFi seemed the most radical departure from Oval turning into a software engine. This custom PA will allow for concerts in cafes and galleries. Further details about this are available to any serious head upon request.
2) So was a British duo from the late 1980s that featured Markus Bell and Mark Long, who were previously members of a band called The Opposition. The duo were managed by Steve Weltman of Esta Management, and were contemporaries of acts such as Climie Fisher, Blue and Waterfront. Signing to Parlophone Records, they released singles such as "Are You Sure?" (UK charts #62, US #41) and "Would You Die For Me", as well as the album "Horseshoe In The Glove", produced by Walter Turbitt. The band toured as the opening act for Icehouse on the group's "Man Of Colours" U.S. tour. The video for the single "Are You Sure?" also received significant airplay on MTV, and still receives airplay years later on MTV's sister channel, Vh-1 Classic. "Are You Sure?" has appeared on many 80's new wave compilations, most notably on EMI's successful "Living In Oblivion" series.
3) So was a slacker rock / slowcore band from Whatcom County, Washington active between 2015-2019. Their music is being released in compilations through the New York record label Death Metal, Florida.

SO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want you to know that my every single breath is for ya
Me and your mom don't get along we always fuss and fight
Now we gotta go to court just to make it right
I give my life any day just to save yours
It's always been just you and me since you a newborn
Our family grew, you got a brother now, a sister too
And your step mom loves you unconditional
Keeping all three of you happy, trust it weighs a ton
I still love you the same that will never change
It hurts my soul in them moments when you drift away
I used to feel we all we got, now we got more
Nasia came with open arms and opened up her door
That takes a lot to do, trust she has it rough too
Mia baby don't forget, daddy loves you
Baby girl don't drift away
I know it's hard but we'll make it to a better day
Please, don't drift away
I'll never leave your side trust me I'll forever stay
Baby girl don't drift away
I know it's hard but we'll make it to a better day
Please, don't drift away
I'll never leave your side trust me I'll forever stay
I know it's hard Miah, but I got a message for ya
Want you to know your moms every single breath is for ya
She sacrifice every day to better your life
She slept in cars to give you a place to rest at night
She give her life any day just to save yours
It's always been just you and her since you a newborn
Your family grew, you got a brother now, a sister too
And your step dad loves you unconditional
I know it's hard to adjust losing the one on one
Keeping all three of you happy, trust it weighs a ton
Your mom loves you the same that will never change
It hurts her soul in them moments when you drift away
She used to feel you all she got, now she got more
James came with open arms, a man stands tall
That takes a lot to do, trust he has it rough too
Sa'Miah baby don't forget, your mommy loves you
Baby girl don't drift away
I know it's hard but we'll make it to a better day
Please, don't drift away
I'll never leave your side trust me I'll forever stay
Baby girl don't drift away
I know it's hard but we'll make it to a better day
Please, don't drift away
I'll never leave your side trust me I'll forever stay
SO's song "Drift" is a touching tribute to a daughter named Miah, who is caught in the middle of her parents' troubled relationship. The lyrics are intended to reassure Miah that no matter what happens, her parents' love for her is unwavering. The song opens with the songwriter addressing Miah directly, telling her that he wants her to know that every breath he takes is for her. Even though he and her mother do not get along and often argue, he still loves her very much.
He acknowledges that it must be difficult for Miah to adjust to having siblings and a stepmom, and that it can be hard to keep everyone happy. However, he wants her to know that she is loved just the same as always, and he will never leave her side. Later in the song, the perspective shifts to Miah's mom, who is celebrated for her selflessness and devotion to her daughter. She too sacrifices everything for Miah's well-being, and the songwriter wants Miah to understand that her mom will always love her and never leave her side.
The repeated refrain of "Baby girl don't drift away" reinforces the message that Miah is not alone in the world, and that the people who love her will always be there for her. The song is a powerful testament to the enduring bond between parent and child, even in the face of difficult circumstances.

Lyrics (;
I'm falling off again,
But I know I'm not your man,
I find it hard, I find it hard to stand,
When I'm on my own,
So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
But I'm all alone again,
Dreaming of some distant land,
Fighting out, fighting out of my consciousness,
And I'm on my own,
So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
BREAK
So just,
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
Carry on, drift in to the storm I'm losing all my fight it's over
Never know throwing through the door I'm fretting that I've lost another
