"The Scene": a phrase The All Ways has become very familiar with over their time spent in the music world. "People spend too much time worrying about how they can fit into the scene," says lead singer Austin Massirman. It is the All Ways’ firm belief that originality and self-expression are far more important parts of being in the music world than trying to fit in.
The band consists of guitarists Jon Colantonio and Ron Geffen, who both hail from Rockland County, New York. After being in several bands over the years, they met and became friends at college, and soon realized that they shared the same passion for music. Austin had been working with Ron on some ideas for a short time, and decided it was time to make these ideas into a reality. Billy Houlihan was soon recruited into the band to play bass, and shortly after some lineup changes, they brought Greg Strauss in as their drummer.
Being together for a total of five months, the band has accomplished much, releasing a self-produced and self-recorded Demo and EP, which are currently being sold on iTunes, and will soon be introduced into local Hot Topics, along with some of their other merchandise. The band has also made it a point to get as many shows as possible under their belt in such a short time, playing in various venues in the NY/NJ area.
"The sky is the limit right now; we aren't going to set any boundaries on ourselves," says Billy, when asked how far they plan on going. The band will be doing a string of dates across the east coast and through parts of the Midwest this summer, to get better acquainted with their fans outside of the NY/NJ area. "Being self produced, recorded, creating our own designs, setting up our own connections with the fans… It has made things much more personal and given us much more freedom in the way we develop our presence in the music world.”
Now that their foot is in the door, there is no stopping this five-man band from breaking through the barriers and showing the world what they can do. The All Ways is here to make their fans and the world see that no matter how rough the path may be, there is "always a place for your heart to escape". So open your heart, and welcome The All Ways, and they will do the same.
Candlelight
The All Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a kettle left alone to boil
Too hot to cool me down but I feel alive
Spill it all across the ice below
Pouring down into a canyon of hope
There's a light, at the end
Don't burn baby sink or swim right down
Right down
You better stand up, stand up
Believing who you are is enough
Then nobody can hurt you
Just find a way to shine on through the darkness
And you'll find a candlelight
A candlelight
A candlelight
Candlelight
Pouring out into the world of dreams
Stumble blindly through a midnight scene
Raise up your idle hand and find a way
Speaking up but no one hears a thing (hears a thing)
Shout out loud but let them hear you sing
Break through the mold
Lady luck is getting old
You better stand up, stand up
Believing who you are is enough
Then nobody can hurt you
Just find a way to shine on through the darkness
And you'll find a candlelight
A candlelight
A candlelight
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
They try to tell you who to be
Keep you fighting to be free
Let this be your melody
That you sing
Like a candlelight
Stand up, stand up
Believing who you are is enough
Then nobody can hurt you
Just find a way to shine on through the darkness
And you'll find a candlelight
A candlelight
A candlelight
Light, yeah

Under pressure at a breaking point
Feeling overwhelmed and about to collapse
Like a kettle left alone to boil
Building up inside and ready to explode
Too hot to cool me down but I feel alive
Experiencing intensity and excitement despite the difficulty
Spill it all across the ice below
Letting out emotions even in a cold, unforgiving environment
Pouring down into a canyon of hope
Releasing hopes and dreams even in trying circumstances
There's a light, at the end
Believing that there is hope and a solution
Don't burn baby sink or swim right down
Don't give up and keep going, even in the face of adversity
You better stand up, stand up
Take charge of your life and be who you want to be
Believing who you are is enough
Having confidence in yourself and your abilities
Then nobody can hurt you
Not letting others' opinions or actions affect you negatively
Just find a way to shine on through the darkness
Pushing through tough times and maintaining positivity
And you'll find a candlelight
Discovering light and hope in even the darkest times
Pouring out into the world of dreams
Releasing your ambitions despite any obstacles
Stumble blindly through a midnight scene
Navigating through the unknown with uncertainty
Raise up your idle hand and find a way
Taking action and finding solutions to problems
Speaking up but no one hears a thing (hears a thing)
Feeling ignored and overlooked despite efforts to communicate
Shout out loud but let them hear you sing
Making yourself heard and expressing yourself boldly
Break through the mold
Breaking free from expectations and limitations
Lady luck is getting old
Relying on luck is not always the answer
They try to tell you who to be
Feeling pressured to conform to others' expectations
Keep you fighting to be free
Struggling for independence and self-determination
Let this be your melody
Embrace your own unique voice and experiences
That you sing
Expressing yourself fully and authentically
Light, yeah
Finding light and hope in even the darkest times
