After meeting disBAND Guru Greig Nori, Stand By Me was advised to change their name due to copyright issues. Turn It Up was chosen. Later, in order to perform several shows in Toronto, Ontario, Universal Music Canada A&R rep Mark Spicoluk advised the band to change their name again, and the band chose the name Stereos. After receiving the thumbs up from the judges from disBand, Stereos went to a large gig to receive a contract from the President of Universal Music Canada and judged by Kiss member Gene Simmons. The band released their self-titled debut album Stereos on October 20, 2009 and was certified gold by the CRIA in January 2010 with sales of over 40,000 copies.

The first single from the album, "Uncontrollable" was released on October 25, 2010 and peaked at #42 on the Canadian Hot 100. The second single, "Body Move" was released in February 2011, just before their cross Canada tour. In mid April the band's drummer, Aaron, sustained a broken hand, leaving him unable to perform, causing the band to cancel their remaining shows.

Here I Stand
Stereos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this time
Close your eyes
Try to open up your mind
I will lead You
A distant land
A dying man
Wonder why he's bleeding
Pierced, Denied
For all to see
In shame, In pride
I've let you bleed
You lived, to die
To set us free
I hear your cry
Whisper over me
And you will find me opened up
I'm broken pouring out my love
You need a life, mine is enough
I'm dying cause I'm here to save you
Looking down as a bitter child
As my life and yours collide
I am dying with you
Until this day, I've run away
But you bring comfort as you say
I am with you
Cause I've seen you crying out
Can't believe your looking down
There's so much love and mercy in your eyes
(Chorus)
I am here to Save you
Ohh Ohh
And I...
I'm here to save you
I'm here to save you
I'm dying cause I'm here to save you
And I will lead you...

Take this time
Use this moment wisely
Close your eyes
Shut out the distractions of the world
Try to open up your mind
Attempt to expand your thinking and understanding
I will lead you
I will guide and show you the way
A distant land
A faraway place
A dying man
A person on the verge of death
Lying wounded in your hands
In your possession, injured and suffering
Wonder why he's bleeding
Questioning the cause of his bleeding
Pierced, Denied
Wounded and rejected
For all to see
Visible and evident to everyone
In shame, In pride
Feeling both embarrassment and a sense of self-worth
I've let you bleed
I have allowed you to suffer and lose blood
You lived, to die
You existed only to eventually meet your death
To set us free
In order to liberate and emancipate us
I hear your cry
I listen to your plea and distress
Whisper over me
Speak softly and gently to me
And you will find me opened up
If you search, you will discover my vulnerability
I'm broken pouring out my love
I am emotionally shattered, but still expressing my affection
You need a life, mine is enough
You require salvation, and I am willing to offer my life for it
I'm dying cause I'm here to save you
I am sacrificing myself because I have come to rescue you
Looking down as a bitter child
Observing from above as an unhappy and resentful young person
As my life and yours collide
When my existence and yours come together abruptly and forcefully
I am dying with you
I am experiencing death alongside you
Until this day, I've run away
Until now, I have avoided facing the truth
But you bring comfort as you say
However, you provide solace with your words
I am with you
I am by your side and supporting you
Cause I've seen you crying out
Because I have witnessed your desperate pleas
Can't believe your looking down
Unable to accept that you are feeling dejected
There's so much love and mercy in your eyes
Your eyes radiate abundant love and compassion
(Chorus)
Repeating the chorus of the song
I am here to Save you
I am present to rescue and protect you
And I...
And I...
I'm here to save you
I have come to save you
I'm dying cause I'm here to save you
I am sacrificing my life because my purpose is to save you
And I will lead you...
And I will guide and show you the way...
