With Ben Kenney on vocals and guitar, Neal Evans on keys and Ashley Mendel on drums, they bring a sound reminiscent of bands ranging from Bad Brains to the Police.

Ben Kenney, 27, is currently the bassist for Los Angeles rock group Incubus and is former guitarist for hip-hop group The Roots. Ben has cut his teeth doing studio work for artists like Justin Timberlake, Faith Evans, Eryka Badu, Blackalicious, and producers like Timbaland and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Neal Evans, 28, is a founding member of the critically acclaimed funk soul jazz trio Soulive. Neal attended Manhattan School of Music, and has since earned a reputation that leaves most musicians scratching their heads: He has an uncanny ability for playing bass lines while simultaneously rocking keyboard parts.

Ashley Mendel , 22, has worked as musical director for Kate Earl and toured as guitarist for the Jazzyfatnastees.

Truly
The Division Group Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Truly, truly was the best there was
hair pulled back and a fist thrown
she seemed to fit but no one does
memories grow sweeter as the days escape my grasp
and i will try to plan our future with this woman in my past

don't try to
rearrange it

things that you take with you, you can never leave behind
don't try to
seperate us
now i keep this future with this truly on mind

Baby, baby won't you come back home
it's cold outside and if the wind should blow
????? frozen to my toungue
the pages stick together when you leave me here alone
and i will try to find a future with the only one i know

don't try to
rearrange it
things that you take with you, you can never leave behind
don't try to
seperate us
now i keep this future with this truly on mind

Truly On My Mind

Overall Meaning

The singer reminisces about their former partner with deeply fond memories that grow sweeter as time passes. The song paints a picture of a strong and independent woman, who stood her ground with high confidence. However, despite her efforts, the relationship inevitably failed, leaving the singer with only memories and regrets.

The lyrics warn against trying to change or forget the past because taking certain experiences with us is inevitable. Instead, the singer holds onto the hope of a future with this woman in mind, even though they are no longer together. "Truly" is a beautiful song of love and loss, reflecting the challenges of moving on from a past relationship.
