History:
Drama Kids (2001-2004)
Drama Kids was originally released by Dallas based indie label Brando Records, and later re-released nationally by MCA. The lead single, Dear Claudia, received good airplay in the U.S. and was included in an episode of Law & Order SVU. Ken Shimamoto of the Fort Worth Weekly said Paco Estrada's "pipes are strong and expressive enough to set him apart from the other 10,000 faceless, droning alt-rock angst-boys''. MCA closed its doors while SouthFM was touring in support of Drama Kids, leaving the band and album behind. Many MCA artists were merged into Geffen Records, SouthFM however, was dropped.
Swallowing The Pill (2005-2006)
After nearly two years of writing since parting ways with MCA/Geffen the band released their follow up album, Swallowing The Pill, yet again on Brando Records. Two singles were officially released to radio, Killing Me and Blue & Grey. The band toured regionally throughout 2005 and 2006, until their final show on October 28th, 2006 at the Curtain Club in Dallas, Texas.
Where Did You Go
SouthFM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause it will get harder and harder to breathe
And when you fall find my hand to help you stand again
'cause times will get harder and harder than these
And my days go by, my days go by
Where did you go
I thought I'd be the first in line to know
You know that I have trouble letting go
I promise I will never say I told you so
So save your breath for the rest of this relationship
'cause it will get harder and harder to breathe
My days go by, my days go by
We'll prove two people can stand
When everybody else is falling apart
In a world that keeps ending
I know you and I could make a new start
My days go by, my days go by, my days go
Running away, running away
