History
The band, consisting of five members, was called Stutterfly until a key member, Chris Stickney, decided to leave shortly after they were dropped from Maverick Records. Stickney soon moved to a band called Oceans Apart. The rest of the band, Bradyn Byron, Jason Ciolli, Jordan Chase and Ryan Loerke, approached Charles Finn (then named Charles Furney), a friend and former member of thebleedingalarm, who used to tour with them, to be their new lead singer. The new line-up became Secret and Whisper on February 24, 2007. They decided to think of a new band name because of the completely different sound that Charles' voice brought to the band.
The band signed to Tooth & Nail Records and the first album, Great White Whale was released on February 12, 2008. "XOXOXO" was released as a single off the album with an accompanying music video.
On September 15, 2009 in a MySpace blog, Charles announced the official departure of Bradyn Byron. The band has since recruited David Ecker as guitarist. Ecker previously played guitar for Oceans Apart with former Stutterfly member Chris Stickney.
The first single off the second album, Teenage Fantasy, was "Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)". The album was released on April 6, 2010. On February 4, 2011, the band released a B-side track "Pixie" through myspace.
On July 12, 2011 it was announced via Facebook note that the band was going on a hiatus. Members of S&W Jordan Chase, Ryan Loerke and David Ecker have since gone on to form the band Shreddy Krueger.
Warrior
Secret And Whisper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born of a daughter, creation of great spirit of wonder
The warrior, the warrior ventures on his own
The warrior, the warrior, child of moon and water
Turn around and let the wind's direction guide you
Fear no sound, your ancestors are right beside you
The warrior, the warrior ventures on his own
The warrior, the warrior, child of moon and water
The shaman asked for you, your vision will come true
Turn around and let the wind's direction guide you
Fear no sound, your ancestors are right beside you
Wild untamed and gentle child of Southern Arrowwood
A legend tells of a modern warrior
Who will rescue our people from evil spirits
Turn around and let the wind's direction guide you
Fear no sound, your ancestors are here beside you
Wild untamed and gentle child of Southern Arrowwood
I am thunder
I am made from silver moon and sky
The song "Warrior" by Secret and Whisper is a powerful reminder of strength and courage in difficult times. The lyrics speak of a warrior who is born from the elements of nature and is guided by the spirits of their ancestors. The warrior ventures on their own, unafraid of the unknown and determined to fulfill their destiny.
The first verse speaks of the warrior's origins, being born of a daughter and the creation of the great spirit of wonder. The warrior is described as a child of moon and water. This language emphasizes the warrior's connection to nature and the power that it holds. The chorus repeats the title, emphasizing the importance of the warrior's journey and their bravery in undertaking it. The second verse describes the role of the shaman, who asks for the warrior and assures them that their vision will come true. This could refer to a prophetic dream or a spiritual experience that confirms the warrior's path.
In the bridge, the legend of a modern warrior is mentioned who will rescue the people from evil spirits. This suggests that the warrior's journey is not just for their personal growth and fulfillment, but also for the greater good of their community. The final verse repeats the chorus and ends with the declaration that the warrior is thunder made from the silver moon and sky, solidifying their connection to the natural world and their power as a force to be reckoned with.
