Tally Hall consists of Rob Cantor (yellow tie, vocals & guitar), Joe Hawley (red tie, vocals & guitar), Zubin Sedghi (blue tie, vocals & bass), Andrew Horowitz (green tie, vocals & keyboards), and Ross Federman (gray tie, drums). Additionally, Casey Shea toured with the band in 2010 in place of Joe, wearing a black tie, and Bora Karaca, a close friend of the band widely considered the “sixth Tally” finally donned an orange tie and joined the band onstage for their summer 2011 tour.
The band released their debut album “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum” in 2005 under the local Quack! Media label to great critical acclaim, before signing to Atlantic Records and re-recording the album in New York City with producer Chris Shaw for a 2008 re-release.
A multi-talented group with a passion for comedy and film as well as catchy tunes, Tally Hall created their very own Internet Show, which aired on their website in ten installments beginning in 2008. Tally Hall’s Internet Show (THIS) featured sketches, animation, parodies, music videos, and interviews, a hilariously inventive tour-de-force of off-kilter humor that has seen individual excerpts (such as “Natural Ketchup” and “Honk War”) go viral all on their own.
Tally Hall recorded their much-anticipated second album, “Good & Evil,” in fall 2009 with producer Tony Hoffer, but the release of the album was delayed multiple times due to undisclosed issues with Atlantic Records. In the meantime, the band continued to tour, playing shows with Rooney, Crash Kings, Jukebox the Ghost, and Skybox. At long last, in March 2011 it was announced that the album would be released on June 21st of that year under the band’s old Ann Arbor indie label, Quack! Media.
The band toured in support of Good & Evil during July and August 2011, but since then have been in a state of “hibernation,” as Rob Cantor has put it. No official announcement has been made regarding Tally Hall’s current status, but since 2011 many of the members have gone back to school and/or have been releasing their own solo musical projects. Andrew Horowitz has been putting out music under the name edu, and in 2012 Joe Hawley released the pseudonymous album Hawaii: Part II, produced by Bora Karaca and Ross Federman with contributions from Rob Cantor and Zubin Sedghi. In 2014, Rob released his solo album Not A Trampoline, featuring contributions from Bora, Andrew, and Ross, and he has also been producing a steady stream of popular viral videos on his YouTube channel.

Tally Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it seem like that where you are,
Wherever it is you are,
Does it seem like that where you are?
Yeah
Time for time together and depending on the weather will I call you in your house or outside
Different I've felt before I got this notch in my belt cause in my plans you were all for me
You'd just rather leave
Wherever you go is breaking me slowly
Don't leave it alone, don't leave it alone
You sound so much further on the phone
You fit just right right next to me
But there's always oh someone you can't be
Telephones make you seem miles away from home all alone I get a little meaner
Leave a message at your tone and miles away from home you get a little cleaner of me
And I find a little greener shade of envy
Wherever you go is breaking me slowly
Don't leave it alone, don't leave it alone
You sound so much further on the phone
You fit just right right next to me
But there's always oh someone you can't be
Tissues get used get with you
Don't you see what you do to me
And you just let it be I wish you'd get used
And then come running back to the shoulder that's become weak its a shoulder that's become
Wherever you are, your breaking my heart
Don't leave it alone, don't leave it alone
You fit just right right next to me
(Oh man)
In Tally Hall's song Greener, the lyrics express a sense of longing and heartbreak, as the singer is experiencing a difficult time due to the absence of someone they care about deeply. The song starts with "that part again" where everything seems to be more than it should be, and greener seems to fall beneath the feet, perhaps referring to the idea that everything seems better and more beautiful when the person they love is with them. However, when the person is not around, time seems to move slowly and be split into quarters whenever they don't call. The singer asks if it seems the same wherever the person is, hinting at the possibility that the feelings of love and heartbreak are mutual.
The lyrics suggest that the two have spent a lot of time together and that the singer was very excited about the relationship, but now it seems that this person prefers to leave. The line "Wherever you go is breaking me slowly" shows the depth of the pain the singer is feeling as a result of the person's departure. The telephones make the person seem miles away from home, and even though the singer gets mean and the person gets a little cleaner on the other side of the phone, there is still an underlying sense of emotional distance.
The final lines of the song repeat the idea that the person fits just right next to the singer, but there is always someone they can't be. The chorus ends with a plea for the person not to leave the singer alone, as they are breaking their heart. Overall, the lyrics of Greener are about a deep and overwhelming sense of longing and heartbreak when someone you care about is not with you.
