Dont drink milk while listening to these fellas, as it will most likely pour from your nose with excitement, not because you will be laughing, oh no...But because the milk would want to be that much closer to evan bliss's buttery vocals, mixed with easy lyrics, jam like instermentals with a reggae influence.

The band has released 3 live albums: "Repossses" , "Live at Saint Marys College" ,
and "Live at The Recher Theatre" with the last being their favorite venue to play.

They have also released studio albums such as Daisy Cutter and Thixotropic.
The band has since broken up, but anybody that had the chance to see these guys live, witnessed a miracle on stage. They were amazing, and are missed by thousands the world over.
RIP The Low Life.
We want you back!

On Friday August 17th; Evan Bliss was taken from us. He had just returned from a trip to Kenya six days prior. He suffered no pain, and passed away in his sleep from a pulmonary embolism event. He was only 35. He was an incredible husband, son, brother, and a friend to all fans. We will miss this incredibly talented writer, and musician.

The Low Life Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I have nothing
Will you make me think I'm someone else?
When I'm in trouble
Will you make think I'm fearless?
When I'm falling
Will you make me think I'm flying?
When I fail to rush to lose
Will you make me think I'm the greatest?

I need you now
I'll never beg
I'll never plead
I'll never fall down to my knees
But I never said I was better off on my own
I need you now

The only time you're off my mind
Is when I'm thinking
And I could live without everything but the feeling
Now I need to ask where did we go?
But do I ask or should I know?

I need you now
I'll never beg
I'll never plead
I'll never fall down to my knees
But I never said I was better off on my own
I need you now

I need you now (X4)
I need you now (I'll never beg, I'll never plead, I'll never fall down to my knees, But I never said I was better off on my own) X4

Will they make them feel like the greatest even when they fail?

The chorus expresses a deep need for this person in the subject's life. He/she doesn't want to beg or plead, but they know they need this person now more than ever. The subject acknowledges that he/she never claimed to be better off alone and now needs this person's support. The verse that follows speaks to the idea that this person is always in the subject's thoughts, except when they are lost in their own thoughts.

In summary, "Sheen" is a song about the power of needing another person in your life to lift you up and make you feel like you can conquer anything.
