attention of upcoming producers Mike Chan and Bobby Campbell. Chan and Campbell, who then were writing music themselves and in need of a vocalist, invited Hall for a jam session, and in March 2008, South Jordan was formed.
The demo's by South Jordan attracted the attention of Farm Fresh Studio owner Jacob Belser, who invited them to his studio to record their 'Only Halfway' EP. (Coming out late July on iTunes and Amazon Music)
Mike hails from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Bobby from Hagerstown, Indiana and Hall from Chicago, Illinois. Given their various backgrounds and influences, each member brings something of their own to the group. This is demonstrated in their 6 track EP, where songs deviate from upbeat to epic.
South Jordan has a rigorous performing schedule ahead of them in the Fall. They will perform both acoustic and full-band shows within the MidWest region and fulfill their dream of bringing their brand of music to the masses.
South Jordan's current line up still include Michael David Hall on vocals, Bobby Campbell on keyboards and guitar, Benton Kubicki on bass, and Jesse Feister on drums. Their full length album, Keep Calm and Carry On, debuts December 20, 2011.
Fatal Flaw
South Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They said be weary of you
They warn persistence is the fatal flaw
I find myself waiting
Find myself hoping that you?l
One day fall into my open arms
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
But I?e been here a time or two
Like trying to fight the dying breath
Why is every step I take so damn hard
I?e got some battle wounds from this
I?e got the sinking feeling in my skin
I? getting tired of the night
Just waiting for the light
But it? ok, you can just call me friend
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
But it? ok, you can just call me friend
Even though I mind I?l just take the backseat again
In the end I? here
In the end just sit and stare
The season change not making way
As I? just waiting waiting waiting for you
They said be weary of you
They warn persistence is the fatal flaw
The song "Fatal Flaw" by South Jordan is about unrequited love and the struggles that come with it. In the first verse, the singer is warned to be careful and wary of the person they love because their persistence may be their downfall. However, despite this warning, the singer finds themselves waiting and hoping for the person to fall into their arms. They are willing to be just friends, even though it hurts them, and take the backseat again. The repetition of "just waiting waiting waiting for you" highlights the frustration and helplessness that comes with unrequited love.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on their past experiences with love and how difficult it is to move on. They have battle wounds and a sinking feeling in their skin, indicating that they have been hurt before. The line "Why is every step I take so damn hard" suggests that they feel stuck in their current situation and cannot move forward. The season changes in the background, symbolizing the passage of time, but it does not make way for their love to be reciprocated.
Overall, the song captures the feelings of longing, frustration, and helplessness that come with unrequited love. The singer is aware of the warning and potential consequence of their persistence, but they cannot help but hold onto hope and wait for the person they love.
