1) The Loved Ones are a punk rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band was founded in late 2003 by Dave Hause (formerly of The Curse and Paint It Black) on vocals and guitar, Michael Cotterman (formerly of Kid Dynamite) on bass and Mike Sneeringer (formerly of Trial by Fire) on drums. In 2005, they released a self-titled EP on Jade Tree Records. Their debut full-length album, Keep Your Heart, was released in 2006 on popular San Francisco punk label Fat Wreck Chords.
After leaving Paint It Black, singer Dave Hause worked as a roadie for New Jersey's The Bouncing Souls, which got the Loved Ones' foot in the door. They eventually toured with the Bouncing Souls and many other reputable bands, including Against Me!, Rise Against, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Less Than Jake.
In December 2006, a posting on the band's MySpace page announced that Cotterman had left the band. He was replaced by Chris Gonzalez, and they also added second guitarist David Walsh. They were both formerly members of The Explosion, who had announced their breakup near the time Cotterman left.

The Loved Ones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i'm sick of graying out the wrongs and rights
i'm pulling out of here to clear my sights
tonight
so hear me out baby and dry your eyes
i'd write it out but it would just seem trite
i'm pulling out of here with holy spite
but i've got this guitar and i can barely play
how could we have known about what was in store?
you never pictured me walk out this door
i guess we didn't know just what we swore
down at the broke down reservoir
could we have one more shot for both our sakes?
can we slow it down and give not take
'cause if you can't forgive me for my mistakes
my heart will break
see i've got my guitar that i can barely play
and i betray a piece of your heart each time i go away
but redemption comes harder when your choosing not to pray
we can't stay innocent if we just run and hide
no remedy for scars and tears you've cried
my mind would ease if you told me your heart
won't change if you knew that i tried
no innocence if we just run and hide
no remedy for all those tears you cried
my mind's a mess 'cause you told me your heart's changed and
you don't know if i tried
The Loved Ones’ “Jane” is a poignant and moving song about a person’s struggle with their relationship. The opening lines, “I'm sick of feeling like I lost this fight / I'm sick of graying out the wrongs and rights,” put forth the idea of a conflict that has been going on for too long. The singer wants to move on and clear their sights, as they say, by leaving the situation. They deliver a plea to their loved one, asking them to hear them out and dry their tears. The singer is leaving with “holy spite” but not without a guitar, which they can barely play. The guitar symbolizes their need for catharsis and escape.
The second stanza echoes the uncertainty and instability that come with the end of a relationship. The singer wonders if they could have done anything differently, if perhaps they could still have “one more shot for both our sakes.” They want to slow down and work things out, as long as their partner can forgive them for their mistakes. However, forgiveness is hard to come by, and redemption even harder to achieve, especially when the other person’s heart has changed. The lyrics of “Jane” capture the emotional journey of a person who is trying to come to terms with the end of a love affair, as well as the hope that somehow they can find a way back to the love they once shared.

I tried to get a parent of mine to send this music video link to my Aunt Jane for mother's Day 2022. Jane lives a lonely life as a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder and amazing Mathematics skills.
I told him to send it to her as a digital Mother's Day card. I reminded him that everyone has a mother herself. And that it's nice to think about people on holidays when they're alone.
Looking forward to whatever I'm going to be doing this upcoming Father's Day.

such an underrated band. Are we ever going to get a new album?
