Subscribe was founded in January 1999. Founder members were: Máté Tilk (vocals), Attila Horváth (guitar), Tamás Reich (guitar), Miklós Anga-Kis (bass) and Attila Rékasi (drums). The band is called Subscribe since Bálint Csongor (vocals) joined the band in 2000. After a vast number of shows and festivals, their first record Sanity Has Left The Building was finished and released in December 2004 on EDGE records. The first preview show for the album resulted in a sold-out party in Budapest's most popular alternative club Kultiplex. Since then they continuously play the main stages of all major festivals in Hungary (Sziget, Volt, Hegyalja, etc.)
To show their respect for Rage Against The Machine, the band members formed a tribute band called Guilty Parties in 2004, which also draws large crowds to their shows, as it is above the high standards and measures. The band's singer Balint also hosts Hungary's most popular online rock/metal TV-show Kettonegy, in which he interviews the biggest bands of the international metal scene.
Subscribe's main aim is the recognition on the European and International music scene. In summer 2005 they did a European club tour with Pro-Pain. Their first album was released in the Benelux countries and Germany. 2 Romanian tours followed in 2006 and also gigs with DEFTONES, MESHUGGAH, KATATONIA, NIGHTWISH, PAIN, BEATSTEAKS and CLAWFINGER throughout Europe.
In April 2007 they started recording their second full length album, STUCK PROGRESS TO MOON, which was released in November 2007 in dual-disc format (album + a full length concert DVD). With this album in January 2008 they won the "Fonogram" award (the biggest Hungarian music award) and it became "Modern Rock Album of the Year 2007". They also won the award for the best studio job (best sound) at the Hungarian Metal Awards. The video for "The Weight Of Oneness" became one of the most frequently broadcasted videos on Hungarian MTV and leading MTV's Rock Chart in March.
In February 2009 the band celebrated their 10th birthday at one of Budapest's biggest concert venues: Petőfi Csarnok with capacity of more than 2000 people. The gig was sold out. During that summer, at Hegyalja festival's Metal Hammer stage Subscribe opened for MACHINE HEAD, driving 30.000 people crazy. At Azfeszt they opened for SKINDRED. At one of Europe's biggest festivals Sziget Festival, they headlined the main stage on the "Rock Against Racism Day" organized by the British Council. The singer Balint joined the "RAR band" to perform a song in front of 40.000 people with huge success. At the end of 2009 the band released Contradictions, a 3 track EP + the 10th anniversary concert and home-video DVD as Christmas present for the fans.
2010 again begun with a headlining tour through whole Hungary, on which they only played venues with adequate sound and size. The two usual Budapest gigs (in spring at A38, in autumn at Gödör) were certainly sold out.
After spending 4 months in their rehearsal room and flats writing their third album, in January 2011 - excluding the outside world - they moved into Hungary's best equipped studio SuperSize Recording to record 11 brand new songs. During the studio works they continuously updated their fans through short videos from the studio. The album Bookmarks was released at the end of March in a deluxe book-package, including a DVD with studio and 2010 summer festival-footage. The Bookmarks tour started in April 2011 and was sold-out everywhere. In the summer, besides opening for DEFTONES at Sziget Festival, they performed a very special show at Palace of Arts Budapest as part of the Retuned (Áthangolva in Hungarian) series accompanied by a symphonic orchestra with all their songs reworked into different styles from salsa to trip hop. In the Autumn the band took part in the Metal Perkele Tour in Finland accompanied by 4 Finnish bands, before doing another thorough Hungarian tour.
In January 2012 the Áthangolva (Retuned) CD/DVD pack was released. The album has been welcomed with favorable reviews both in Hungary and abroad.
These guys love playing live, always with a smile on their faces and always going mad on stage. They are already rock stars in Hungary, now is the time to become well-known and appreciated throughout the whole world! Subscribe must be heard!
Journey
Subscribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They stucked progress to the moon
They blocked my journey to the moon
They blocked my struggle too
Ref:
will I reach it? you will!
While I reach it, you leave all these
My starship wrecked at planet torpidness
Ref
On your way...hold me!
On your way.. hold me!
In my amusement I still hold
that door revolving for more.
with myself abused by my trodden roads.
It seems pointless, I hate it !
will I reach it? you will!
I teach it , you live
While I reach it, you leave all these
On your way, way, hold me,
on your way, way, hold me!
The lyrics of Subscribe's song "Journey" express the struggle of the singer towards fulfilling his dreams and ambitions. The first verse talks about issues with the laces of shoes, which serves as a metaphor for the obstacles or hindrances faced by the singer that prevent him/her from progressing towards achieving his/her goals. The lines "They blocked my journey to the moon, they blocked my struggle too" emphasize the frustration experienced due to these obstacles that seem insurmountable.
The chorus of the song offers encouragement and motivation to listeners to keep persevering towards their dreams. The lines "will I reach it? you will! I teach it, you live" serve to remind listeners that success is possible and achievable with hard work and persistence. The phrase "While I reach it, you leave all these" suggests that the singer is on a different path towards success, and encourages listeners not to give up even if it seems like they are falling behind.
The second verse acknowledges the challenges and hardships experienced by the singer in pursuit of his/her dreams. The phrase "My starship wrecked at planet torpidness" serves as a metaphor for the singer's path towards success being derailed by obstacles and challenges. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song serves to reinforce the message of perseverance and hope despite the challenges faced along the way.

@Meo9119 Sajnos nem tudtam kimenni a MüPába, remélem, a DVD-n keresztül is át fog jönni a hangulata. Azért töltöttem fel, mert idegesített, hogy csak az a recsegős verzió volt itt megtalálható. :)
