Adam, Ashley and Austin ended up living and making a living out of Nashville – Adam has played with SHeDaisy, Ashley with Carrie Underwood and Austin with both SHeDaisy and Carrie. When they saw an advertisement for FOX’s “The Next Great American Band” they decided to make a video and enter the contest as The Clark Brothers. With their matchless sound and sparse instrumentation they progressed through various levels of auditions and were invited to participate in the show – even without having drums or bass. It was a big decision for the guys whether to quit their jobs and take this chance or not, but with full support from their family they went after their dream. It paid off when they won the contest and scored a record deal on 19 Recordings//Universal/Interscope.
Since their win in December of 2007, the three brothers have been on a musical journey, writing songs and exploring who they are as a band. Over time they grew musically and realized their sound was heading in a new, different direction. It was a natural evolution which eventually led to the birth of the name Sons of Sylvia. They are currently working on their debut album expected to release in 2010.
“We have always wanted to make a record that comes from our heart. We want to inspire people with our music. We want to send a message of hope.”

Love Left To Lose
Sons of Sylvia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last day of my life and I'm jumping in.
Here it is
One step into space and I'm falling in.
And I ain't gotta parachute,
I ain't gotta parachute
Like you,
It was you.
You and me,
We have our own world where I wanna be,
Oh when I'm hurting you
Then that world's hell and it's killing me
I'm living with an open wound,
Hoping that it closes soon.
I don't wanna leave,
But I should leave.
I hear you say,
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose.
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose.
Let me know
Which side of the fence are you gonna go
â??Cause I'm breaking down,
And I can't live in a house that don't feel like a home.
I know we got some life that's left,
And I ain't giving up just yet.
So give me a sign,
'Cause all I keep hearing in my mind is â?¦
I hear you say,
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose.
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose.
Look me in the eyes and tell me
What are ya feeling baby.
Don't you know you have my heart
And I could never walk away.
And I'll give all that I have
If I could only make you see that
You're the only one I want,
So please don't ever say
I hear you say,
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose.
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
One more step and you're out that door
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
All we've got is love left to lose
The lyrics of Sons of Sylvia's Love Left To Lose are about the singer's hesitant decision to leave a relationship that has grown stale and loveless. The singer acknowledges that they have hurt their partner and recognizes that the relationship is deteriorating to the point of feeling like a house that no longer feels like a home. However, they cling onto the hope that there is still a chance for them to make things right, but also fear that they are running out of time. The lyrics reveal the complicated emotions of a person wanting to stay and fight for a relationship but also feeling the need to move on.
The first verse talks about the singer taking a leap of faith similar to jumping out of a plane without a parachute, which signifies the risk involved in ending the relationship even though there's no safety net. The second verse delves into the singer's love story with his partner, and how their relationship feels like a different world they share. But because of the pain and hurt, it has become hell, and the singer is living with an open wound. The chorus repeats the question, "what are you waiting for," inviting the listener to reflect on their own relationships and question what they are waiting for, as all they have left is love to lose. The bridge and the last verse talk about the singer's commitment to the relationship, their willingness to give everything they have, and the fear of losing the person they love.
Line by Line Meaning
Here it is
This is the moment I've been waiting for
The last day of my life and I'm jumping in.
I am taking a leap of faith, willing to risk everything
One step into space and I'm falling in.
I am embracing the uncertainty of the unknown
And I ain't gotta parachute,
I am not prepared for the consequences
I ain't gotta parachute
I am vulnerable and exposed
Like you,
I am like the person who hurt me
It was you.
You are responsible for my pain
You and me,
We have a close bond
We have our own world where I wanna be,
Our relationship is a safe haven
Oh when I'm hurting you
When I cause you pain
Then that world's hell and it's killing me
I suffer when I cause you pain
I'm living with an open wound,
I am emotionally damaged
Hoping that it closes soon.
I want to heal from my emotional pain
I don't wanna leave,
I am scared to let go
But I should leave.
I know I need to move on
I hear you say,
I hear your perspective
Oh, whatcha waiting for?
Why are you hesitating?
One more step and you're out that door
You will lose everything if you leave
All we've got is love left to lose.
We can only lose our love
Let me know
Tell me your thoughts
Which side of the fence are you gonna go
Will you choose to stay or leave?
â??Cause I'm breaking down,
I am struggling with my emotions
And I can't live in a house that don't feel like a home.
Our relationship is no longer fulfilling
I know we got some life that's left,
There is still hope for our relationship
And I ain't giving up just yet.
I am not ready to give up on us
So give me a sign,
Show me that we still have a chance
'Cause all I keep hearing in my mind is ...
I am struggling with my doubts
Look me in the eyes and tell me
Be honest with me
What are ya feeling baby.
Tell me how you feel
Don't you know you have my heart
You mean everything to me
And I could never walk away.
I am committed to our relationship
And I'll give all that I have
I am willing to do anything for you
If I could only make you see that
If only you could understand my perspective
You're the only one I want,
You are my one true love
So please don't ever say
Please don't give up on us

I became a fan years ago when I saw them on the greatest American Band as the Clark brothers. I always wondered what happened to them and was thrilled to see them on American Idol last year. I like their new name Sons of Silvia & I love their new album. I truly believe they will have a long and successful career because they are BEYOND TALENTED and are also wonderful human beings as well.

I loved them ever since they won "The Next Great American Band" as The Clark Brothers. When they performed this song on American Idol, I fell in love with it. The next day I went to buy the CD and I had to hunt for it! Walmart didn't even carry it, and finally found the last one at Target. Extremely talented, hard to find great "live" bands, it's a shame, they need to be out there! Love to see a concert with Sons of Sylvia, Mumford and Son's, and The Lumineers. Your Awesome!

I remember when these guys were on the Next Greatest Band on Fox. They have so much emotion in their music - and they're different.
girlatsunrise
I discovered these amazing guys in April, and they are just AMAZING! I love all of their songs, just so much I don't have a favorite or a song I don't love. Sons of Sylvia is definitely one of my favorite bands :)

They are awesome. I remember all of the times that I heard them play before all of this. They deserve all of this they have worked very hard to get where they are now.

I honestly think, with brilliant written songs and enough exposure, they could be the next Goo goo dolls
