1) The Choir were a rock band in the mid-1960s from Cleveland Ohio, best known for the oft-covered song "It's Cold Outside". With the addition of singer Eric Carmen, they became The Raspberries in 1970. The band consisted of Dann Klawon on rhythm guitar, Dave Smalley on vocals & rhythm guitar, Wally Bryson on vocals, lead guitar, & bass, and Jim Bonfanti on vocals & drums.
2) The Choir (originally The Youth Choir) is an atmospheric alternative Christian rock band, led by Derri Daugherty on guitar and vocals, Steve Hindalong on drums -- who also writes most of the band's lyrics -- and Dan Michaels on lyricon, electric flute and saxophone. Originally formed in Southern California in the early 1980s, the band members moved to the Nashville, Tennessee area in the 1990s. Past members include guitarist Marc Byrd and bass guitarists Michael Sauerbrey, Robin Spurs, Bill Batstone, and the late Tim Chandler.
Each band member also has a depth of musical history outside of The Choir. Hindalong produced four successful City On A Hill albums, writing the well-known song "God of Wonders" with Marc Byrd. Daugherty has been a member of the Christian-alterna-pop-supergroup The Lost Dogs since it started in 1991, and Hindalong joined the group in 2006. Chandler was the bass player for years for Daniel Amos and that band's alter egos The Swirling Eddies, and passed away in 2018. Byrd was a member of Common Children, recorded with his wife Christine Glass as Glassbyrd, and is currently half of the post-rock duo Hammock. Michaels has been a Senior Vice President of Fair Trade Services (formerly INO Records) since 2000.
Another World
The Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world divided by man's fear
Searching for a peace I've often dreamed of
A better world, a better place than this
Another world
Everyday brings unknown situations
Praying for eternal bright tomorrows
Hoping that our souls will never die
Another world
Voice calling I don't understand
Voices ringing in my ear
The song Another World by The Choir speaks of a search for a better world, a world where there is peace and consolation that is not divided by man's fear. The lyrics show a deep desire for something beyond the chaos and turmoil of the present world. The search for this world is depicted as an inner struggle, and the hope for a better tomorrow is what drives this intense yearning. The line "Everyday brings unknown situations/What is real and what are only lies," points towards the confusion that goes through one's mind while searching for a better world. The call for another world is the only hope that can transcend the reality of the current situation.
In the second verse, the singer is in search of the truth, and they pray for eternal bright tomorrows, hoping that their souls will never die. This quest for finding another world is not just fueled by mere curiosity or wishful thinking, but it is a deep craving for something that is bigger than ourselves. The singer is willing to listen to the voice calling, even if they don't understand it, and the ringing in their ear is a sign that another world is calling out to them.
Overall, Another World is a poignant and introspective song that speaks about the desire for a world beyond the present reality. It is a song that connects with the listener and encourages them to look beyond the chaos of the present and yearn for a better world.
