The Day is about the moment and how we live in it. We want our music to represent that. We are and have been consumed with the fate of our souls as well as humanity. So much inequality and injustice goes on in this world and that really affected us before we were ever in a band. Performing music was the platform we saw that gave us hope. We wanted to live like we dream. Our goal as a band was to always remain sincere, honest, and dedicated to each other and amongst society. Above all though, our lyrics have driven us the furthest.. "Maybe today or maybe tomorrow/ Just like the seasons together we follow/ And I believe we are broken in pieces / Well finally something is wrong"(Belongs to you, 2003). We couldn't help but be drawn to the reflective nature of the words. It is indeed about blending into your environment in a harmonious nature, which by no means should diminish the fire that burns in you.
The Day is Rameen Khan (vocal/guitars), Brian White (drums), Garrett Hedman (bass), and myself, Saier Sadiq (guitars). So many image molded groups with corporate values have passed since we first played in 1999, in a dinky coffee house called Lulu's Beehive on Ventura Blvd ; and so not surprisingly the souls of bands like Nirvana, Stone Roses, and the Verve have rarely surfaced since. It is the inspiration of their songs we have loved so much that has conquered our doubts, fears, and heartache in this cutthroat industry. Despite going through so many setbacks that many in this profession inevitably goes through, our current lineup seems to have the most chemistry since its conception. Rameen and I , have been childhood friends and loved JAMC, Oasis, Ride, and other acts which seemed to stand out because it was evident they put as much effort into what they were saying as they did in their song arrangements. In " Fine Friend" Pale Saints singer Merial Barham sings "I am tired of holding my breath/ There's too much that's been left to say/ But i know tomorrow the smile on your face/ Will smooth these thoughts away" The universal message and timeless lyrics which anyone can relate to was something we did not take lightly.
Despite his love and prolific talent for writing songs we couldn't hear enough of, original singer and founding member Faran Khan, left the band in 2005. However, many of the songs we wrote together are still with us and he is an integral part of The Day albeit a different role.
Souvenir for the Soul ( debut album), which was recorded in 2001 was our first crack at trying to form an identity. We were new to the whole process but we feel learned alot and poured our heart into that album.si We were mentally and physically consumed with the process of writing, recording and composing. It did not deter us from performing. From 1999 to 2003 the band performed at every conceivable venue in the LA and Orange County averaging at least 40 shows a year. Footage from some shows made their way on to a commercial made and edited by original drummer Brent Bishop who was also a a film major at the time . The commercial eventually got airplay at the 2002 VMA's . In the end of 2004 disenchanted with the progress we had made , we set out to record a 5 song EP called Belongs To You. Music Connection gave it an endorsing thumbs up by comparing the band to the likes of Oasis and REM. We were in contact with 3 major labels but nothing came to fruition. It was during this time that everything nearly fell apart. Faran wanted out, and Cory our latest revolving drummer, who plays bass for buzz band Bobot Adrenaline could not meet the demands of our band. We were at a crossroad like never before. But there was so many songs we had written in a period of deep introspection and camaraderie which remained unsung.
Rameen who had till this point been the lead guitarist had the experience and drive necessary to take the next step. Moving to vocals and guitars was a natural evolution. Brian came to us as a blessing from a mutual friend. He has ironically become an anchor for us considering he is our 5th drummer. In 2006 the band got paid residency at the Farmacy in West Hollywood and performed there for six months weekly. It was a defining period for us. A new era had begun. We are looking forward to working on our latest album "No Finer Line" set for release in early 2009. It does feel like the band's potential may finally be realized. We are excited and anxious to finish recording so we can go back to doing what we love, playing our songs. We want to thank everyone who's been responsible for keeping us together through it all.

@Allison Driver…
YES! You are so right and on point.
In all the times I’ve been a part of YouTube in looking up my favorite era of music…70’s and 80’s, I have rarely gone too deep into reading the comment sections of those videos because there almost ALWAYS will come upon a negative, derogatory and/or vulgar posts and language. Many times you can view a young child or teenager who had uploaded themselves singing a song. And whether there were mistakes or flawless…off key or spot on, you can almost put money down and expect to win it back that within the first ten, or so, comments there will be a poster that will say something very crude and offensive. You can clearly see in majority of the vids that it is a young singer, and yet…the rudeness of those people have no shame, or class, in tearing apart those young minds. Again, just classless.
But, it is such breath of fresh air whenever I’ve finished watching a YouTube Aurora concert, or finish viewing one of the MANY, oh so cool, hilarious and witty, interviews that Aurora has done ….and, then I’ll scroll on below to read the comment section because I want to, hopefully, keep the nice vibe going from which I had gotten from her interview or show ….and, sure enough….just about every post is the sharing of positive light. You can ACTUALLY feel respect within the comment section. I’m trying not to sound cheesy, so if I do… please forgive me.
But, honestly…imho, that statement is true. Most of us Weirdos and Warriors share many common things, quirks, ticks, awkwardness, introverted(to name just a few)…and, yet, I feel that Aurora’s true nature, her constant encouragement to all, her messages of hope…has created a culture on all the social media outlets that she is a part of that feels comfortable and most feel safe from possible ridicule or getting bashed for misspelling a word(for example).
I’ve said it a MILLION times… and I’ll say it forever, and a million times more, that I’m endlessly grateful to our amazing and beautiful Forest Pixie 🧚 …for, literally, saving this Hawaiian dude’s life… because for a LONG while, after finding the lifeless body of my step daughter…trying to continue working at my job with a smiling façade after learning my wife wants a divorce(later overhearing her speaking to a friend the words “…if he would’ve gone in and seen her earlier she would still be here…”. Basically, blaming me for her passing. You know how much that rips out of you? Its been seven years and I’m still trying to fill that painful hole.)….then, last year, losing my Mom. Four months later…my sister-in-law passes away. Both from Cancer.
And, so…I truly felt like I was drowning…and, it felt like waves after HEAVY waves of seawater was constantly filling up my lungs and silenced any chance I had to voice for help. And, by this time, not being one to ever ask for help…partly because I’ve never wanted to feel bothersome to anyone…and, partly because I felt exhausted from the fight…and, partly because I’d grown weary and had lost the will to keep fighting. It was like I had tried to take one last gulp of air in hopes to stay afloat…but, that last gulp I was swallowing was all saltwater. And I was falling to the ocean floor FAST. It was eerily similar to Aurora’s lyrics to her amazingly beautiful and gut wrenching(for me, anyway😬)song…”The Awakening”
@wasoju753
I'm happy I got to discover Aurora.
I love and live for her music, like how it speaks through my mind, my heart and my soul.
When I'm happy, I listen to her
When I'm sad, I listen to her
When I'm mad, I listen to her
When I'm empty, I listen to her
Everything about her is so precious, Iike a living daydream... I'm glad that I will soon share this when I have children in your beautiful art.
Thank you.

White, silicon eyes, watching storms, sitting quiet
Reading books in the heat of city lights
Bored, everyone's bored
When I'm restless, put me under the night life stars
And I will feel grounded
I know I'm just a girl
But can I change lives?
If I am nothing, if I am trying, I think I can
I step on broken glass, and dream of soft clouds
When feelings are heavy they become all we are
And we become night time dreamers
And street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
The quiet lust belongs to all of us
And drives us closer into the madness
Of the world, of a girl
(And it suits me just fine)
'Cause everyone dies, and nobody loves
And somebody dies right now
I hear the quiet, sweet music that no one sings
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And mwe become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
In real life
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
All I ever know is what I dream about when I'm sober
Never turn away from love
Before the love, you have me sober
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Nothing can die while we are here
Then we become night time dreamers
Street walkers and small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers
And we become night time dreamers
Street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while we are here)
When we should be daydreamers
(Nothing can die while, nothing can die)
Daydreamers
