1)The Promise were a powe… Read Full Bio ↴There are three known artists with this name:
1)The Promise were a powerful straight edge hardcore band from Syracuse and Philadelphia,
2) The Promise is a synthpop band from Germany.
1) Charging out of the gate in stagnant times where metal and pop punk have decayed the sound and disrespected the hallowed traditions of Straight Edge hardcore, THE PROMISE mean business, and pull no punches in achieving the goal of breathing life into a lost scene and misdirected genre. Save all your speculation about what is and what isn't hardcore for the internet, because Syracuse, New York's THE PROMISE are here to show you just what hardcore is, and with a vengeance.
Culled from some of the most classic and respected Straight Edge bands of the 1990s (Another Victim, One King Down, Conviction), THE PROMISE began in 2001 under the moniker of True Love, a project intending to bring five old friends together to show the world that time had yet to wear them down or break their will. Their determination paid off as word spread quickly of the juggernaut-to-be being birthed in the basements and streets of upstate New York. With a release of the "My True Love" CD/7" on Boston's Deathwish Inc., it has proven to be another in a series of signals that THE PROMISE will not be stopped in their ongoing crusade to raise a middle finger to complacency and apathy in hardcore, and accord due respect to the beliefs and ideals of the Straight Edge movement.
In addition to flooring audiences in their hometown, THE PROMISE has designs on spreading their hardcore reality to kids all over the U.S. and the world in the foreseeable future. Now a proud addition to the stable of California's venerated Indecision Records, THE PROMISE endeavor to put forth one of the most important hardcore records in years this summer, which they are currently hard at work in constructing. Success for THE PROMISE goes far beyond monetary status and acceptance in a world of impostors and trends. The ability to reproduce the courage that has built the foundation of their lives and to ressurect the spirit of true, tempered hardcore. This is THE PROMISE, this is their one true love.
The Promise hardcore 2001-2005

The Promise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would not've found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing
And hung around awhile
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
Love is the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
The Promise's song "Close" is a touching ballad that depicts a story of a love that was eventually realized as fleeting, temporary, and fragile. The lyrics suggest that the two lovers meet under unexpected circumstances, where the singer reflects upon the fact that if one person had not fallen, they would have never found each other. The lyrics "Angel flying too close to the ground" imply that the singer's partner was someone special who stood out in a crowd. The singer then tries to mend the broken pieces of the love interest's heart as they grew closer together. He took care of her and kept her spirits up, showing his unwavering commitment and love for her despite the looming realization that she would leave him someday.
The singer understood that love was a potent force and that it could heal the broken and wounded. However, it could not keep the other person around forever. The song comes to an end with the singer showing acceptance and letting go despite being aware that his lover is drifting away. The lyrics, "So fly on, fly on past the speed of sound," are symbolic of his willingness to let her go and to encourage her to pursue her dreams, even if it means that she must fly away from him.
The song is an emotional and heartfelt portrayal of love that is so powerful that it can influence a person's life even after they have flown away. The singer's understanding of the temporary nature of their love causes the listener to feel a sense of melancholy and heartbreak that is quintessential to the human experience.

wait…but Nan didn’t tell Phu that he loved him. That was a fantasy or maybe a dream that Nan had, but it wasn’t real. I think the 2 prequel episodes give important backstory information. I would highly recommend watching them as they create so much depth before even watching the first episode

Pls upload next episodes.

Many thanks for releasing the sequent series. I like the color tone of film. I love story love of 2 protagonists. Their chemistry is very amazing through good acting skills of 2 lead actors. 👍👍. Hope their love story will be HE.🙏❤❤
Auroraa
@Johnny Liner If the story ends the same then what's the point?? I feel like someone's playing with viewer emotions because Nan bonded to Phu when they were kids especially after Nan lost his dad. Then they grow up. Nan tells Phu that he loves him and Phu disappears. Don't even answer Nan 's calls. The shows up as a neighbor? I apologize but I don't have patience for this
Johnny Liner
@Auroraa it is well worth watching.

Now is time for Phu to face the reactions from his actions. The Promise being a true story is going to give us Realism. Communication is key to every relationship! Wish I could get my young Adult children to watch as a learning tool!!! Devonte, Kudos to you for knowing what a great show looks like! Also, thank you to the Person (Phu) who was courageous enough to share your true story with us!!!
