They started as a duo, with their first gig together being an open mic at a church. The duo became a trio and started playing anything from house parties, to bars, to coffee shops, to open mics. Things started moving fast as the release of 'We Bring Anything to the Table.. Except Tables, We Can't Bring Tables to the Table', garnered unexpected attention. They have continued playing and noticed a growth in their audience throughout the years since.
With a very loyal and supportive fan base, and with their latest record, 'For Today, For Tomorrow, For What Is, For What Could've Been', the group is reaching new heights and new territory that has been seen inconceivable for any Latino coming out of the San Gabriel Valley.
In My Mind
The Red Pears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the roof explodes where will soon go?!
All those night time cold feelings
Take away your safe
Am i M.I.A?
Cause in mind i have left you dry
Put it out tonight been there wrong from right
Wonder where we'll meet
I could be there right before... you'll never know,,,,,,,
Be there .Are you scared?!
Everything's an end wheres the beginning?!
Be fair or be squared
Always right on the time when the world's unkind
Cause in mind i have left you dry
Put it out tonight been there wrong from right
Cause in my mind everything's complete
Wonder where we'll meet
I could be there right before... you'll never know
The Red Pears's song In My Mind is a melancholic track about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer seems to be regretful of the mistakes he made and the wrong decisions he took, which led to the end of the relationship. As the song begins, the singer is feeling wasted and asks his former partner not to waste their time together. He wonders where he would go when everything falls apart, and all the cold feelings he had from those past night times come back to haunt him. He questions whether he is missing in action, suggesting that he may have cut all ties with the person he loved.
The chorus of the song is emotionally charged and reflects the singer's current state of mind; he confesses that in his mind, he has left his ex dry, much like a desert, and he regrets not realizing what he had before it was too late. He wants to put things right, but he also acknowledges that he may have been wrong all along. Despite how complete everything seems to be in his mind, he still wonders where they would have reunited. However, he also acknowledges that he may never be there again because everything is uncertain. The singer concludes the song by questioning if his former partner is scared and advises them to be fair because time is everything.

I love The Strokes so much! And I hate to compare one band to another but it's amazing to hear a band get such a great sound and catchy tune much like theirs. You guys executed this very well! I appreciate you guys very much especially since strokes are no more... much love from Colorado. (California native.)

This is my favorite song of yours, I was listening to Interpol and I saw one of your comments so I thought I'd give you a shot. Not dissapointed at all, super thrilled I found a band that I can just jam to along side Interpol and The Strokes. Keep the amazing songs comming.
