1. The Garden is an American art… Read Full Bio ↴There are 3 artists with this name:
1. The Garden is an American art rock duo from Orange County, California, formed in 2011 by twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears. The duo released their debut album The Life and Times of a Paperclip in 2013, with several smaller releases following. In 2015, the group released their second studio album Haha along with the lead single "All Smiles Over Here :)" to critical acclaim after being signed to Epitaph Records. They released their third album Mirror Might Steal Your Charm on March 30, 2018. Their fourth album, Kiss My Super Bowl Ring, was released on March 13th, 2020. Their most recent album, Horeshit on Route 66, was released September 8th, 2022.
The band is known for their fast, punk-influenced two-piece bass and drum songs, with both their music and image being characterized by "DIY principles, thrift store-cum-glam fashion style and a vast list of influences." The brothers classify their sound as "vada vada," a philosophy which Wyatt Shears describes as “an idea that represents pure creative expression, that disregards all previously made genres and ideals”.
2. The Garden was a gothic rock / ethereal wave / shoegaze band from Pittsburgh, PA, United States. The band was formed in the autumn of 1985, with the intentions of pursuing a sound that was not only unique, but also moving. And through the years, Anthony LaCava, Christine Sacramento and Stephen Marlette, with accompaniment by Shelly O'Keefe on bells/keyboards, followed this dream by creating many songs of great substance. The band emerged with an intensely uncommon sound drawn on electronic drum tracks and dark ambient guitar mixed with rhythmic bass, heartfelt lyrics and strong vocals.
Often described as "Pittsburgh's first gothic rock band", The Garden has sustained a rather faithful following. Tanya Kavalkovich joined the band in 1996 with her lyrical violin contributing a new warmth and beauty to an already compelling sound. Opening for such acts as And Also the Trees, Wolfgang Press, Throwing Muses, Faith and the Muse, Strange Boutique, Spahn Ranch, Gargoyle Sox, Of a Mesh, FourWay Cross, This Ascension. The Curtain Society, Bella Morte, Eva O.
Heavy employment and academic demands forced Stephen to leave the band in 1997. Christine, Anthony, and Tanya formed a new band with drummer James and vocalist Patricia called Between the Waters
3. The Garden is a collaboration between David Tagg and Hakobune. It isn’t often that collaborative projects bear such bountiful fruit right from the start of their conception, but sometimes, nature seems to have another motive in mind, and we’re given a very special and very unique result. Hailing from near-opposite sides of the globe, David Tagg and Takahiro Yorifuji (also known here at Install and elsewhere as Hakobune) decided to combine their complementary approaches to ambient guitar music and make something new together.
"In Sea-Land" certainly conjures images of organic growth in a surreal landscape, and the album colors in the empty spaces with watery blue melodies submerged in ocean water and triumphant overarching towers of weathered stone drones surrounded by sea spray and thin clouds. Both similar to what David and Takahiro have individually created before, and also unique to itself, these two men have found an alchemical assurance in combining their crafts with The Garden. Sure to please fans of either musician’s work, or anyone who appreciates gentle guitars unspooled over a canvas of water and green. Deep and lush, alive and vibrant. A multifaceted pleasurable listen for the hot Summer months.

The Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
触れられないその白い肌は雪よりも綺麗だ
Ooh, wow, wow, ooh
需要と供給が釣り合わない 無防備なその笑顔
サンタも小人も下心も集まってきそうだ
二人だけの冬の街
このあと用事があるってさ
「ありがとう」って言って振り向かないで
深い森の奥へ
Snow white girl
君はその瞳は
何も知らずに僕の心
奪ってしまうのさ 気づいておくれよ
黒雪姫みたいな小悪魔でも
眠りから君が覚めたとき
その瞳に映るのは 抱きしめるのは
僕がいいんだ
順当にいけば 君のことを見事射止めるのは
経験値も貯金も多めな涼しげなジェントルマン
やたらと高いディナーも
お城みたいなホテルの
最上階の部屋の夜景も
2つ掛け持ちのバイト代だって
震えながらでも君となら
(Snow white girl, Snow white girl) yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
鏡よ鏡 君の好きな人を映してよ
浮かび上がったのが僕じゃない他の誰かだとしても
この瞳には君しか映らないから
Snow white girl
君が笑うだけで
ただそばにいてくれるだけで
許してしまうのはわかっているけど
黒雪姫みたいな小悪魔でも
心がわからなくなるほど
君しか選べないのは 好きになるのは
どうしてなんだろう
まだ遠いかな 君を恋人と呼べる日々は
もうすぐクリスマス
僕は君を迎えにいきたいな
The song "Girl" by The Garden is a beautiful melody that captures the thoughts and emotions of a person yearning for the attention of a woman he admires. In the first stanza, the singer highlights how the day he can be the lady's lover seems far away, given that he cannot touch her beautiful white skin that is whiter than snow. He goes on to describe how her unsuspecting smile attracts everyone, including Santa and the devious gnomes. He finally gets to spend time with her in a winter town where they both have business. The singer uses the metaphor of "Snow White girl" to describe the lady, implying that she enchants him much like Snow White did the prince in the fairytale.
In the second verse, the singer explains how the lady takes his heart without even trying. He describes how he wants to be the one she sees when she opens her eyes. Even if she is as cunning and mischievous as the black snow queen, he is willing to embrace her in his arms. He acknowledges that he might shiver with fear, but he only wants to be beside her. The chorus repeats the phrase"Snow White girl," highlighting her magical and mysterious nature. The singer admits that her laughter and mere presence make him forgive her every misdeed. He wonders why he cannot help but love her and why he cannot choose anyone else.
