2) The Sheer is a rock band formed in Haarlem, the Netherlands in the summer of 2000. The initial lineup consisted of Bart van Liemt (leadvocals and guitar), Jasper Geluk (analog keyboards and backing vocals), Jorn van der Putte (bass and backing vocals) and Gert-Jan Zegel (drums). JanPeter Hoekstra (guitar, pedalsteel guitar and backing vocals) joined the band last year during the making of third album Here and Now and Long Before.
Their early work is known to have upbeat 60's and 90's britpop influences, recent songwriting has grown far more melancholic and alt-country.
The Sheer has released two albums to date. Their debut album The Keyword Is Excitement! was released in 2004. The band has won several Dutch awards for upcoming talent like the 'Zilveren Harp' and the '3FM Award'. Their sophomore album, Feel The Need, was released in 2006. Singles from both albums have received considerable airplay on national radio and have made it into game and movie soundtracks. The band gained a respected live reputation and played the Lowlands and Pinkpop festivals among many others.
After years of almost continuous recording and touring, the band retreated in November 2007 to regroup, focus and work on their third coming, Here And Now And Long Before.
The Sheer was signed to Universal Music for the first two records. As the major opted for a new deal during the making of the new album, the band saw a chance to take matters into their own hands and started her own label instead. Song One Records will release the new record together with indie label PIAS in the Benelux.
Here and Now and Long Before was released April 20, 2009. The record is quite a departure from their work so far.

3) Formed in the summer of 2014, quickly becoming a staple in the greater LA scene, Sheer channel an earnestness redolent to that of mid-90s emo and indie rock, while primarily occupying a reverb-induced space suggestive of Galaxie 500 and The Jesus And Mary Chain.
4) Sheer, on the other hand (without a The), which defaults to here, was a mid 80s dance project on Creation Records. It was nominally fronted by the Scot, Thomas Taft (the single, "Cascades", was credited to Sheer Taft). The recordings were mostly by members of Primal Scream. The album, "Absolutely", was released under the name Sheer.
Something New
The Sheer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some peace of mind
On every street
Where people meet
Now I know that it's not profound
Love won't make the world go round
Discovery
Makes the stars still glow
For those below
You believe more than you'd ever doubt
But you still don't know what it's all about
Everybody knows
It's not something new
Everybody knows
It hides within you
There's someone near
But it's never clear
Just getting by
With no disguise
Spend your days living like a clown
Love won't make the world go round
You need to find
Some peace of mind
On every street
Where people meet
You believe more than you'd ever doubt
You still don't know what I'm talking about
Everybody knows
It's not something new
Everybody knows
It hides within you
Something new
Something new
You'll be the one who fakes it
You'll be the one that hates it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You'll be the one who fakes it
You'll be the one that hates it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to The Sheer's song, Something New, are about the search for inner peace and understanding in a world full of chaos, confusion, and superficiality. The singer seeks a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, hoping to find solace on every street where people gather, allowing him to find some peace of mind. However, the singer realises that love is not the answer to life's complexities and that there is something more profound about the universe. The lyrics also touch on how astronomy helps people to appreciate the beauty of the world around them, no matter their position in life. Despite the singer's inner turmoil and search for answers, he recognises that everyone is going through the same struggles and that everyone has something hidden deep within them, something that is not entirely new but is waiting to be discovered.

I need to find
I am searching for something
Some peace of mind
A sense of calm and contentment
On every street
In every place
Where people meet
Where individuals come together
Now I know that it's not profound
I understand that my search for peace is not unique or special
Love won't make the world go round
Love alone cannot solve all the world's problems
Discovery
Exploring and learning
Of astronomy
About the stars and planets
Makes the stars still glow
Even though we learn about them, they still shine in the sky
For those below
For those of us on Earth looking up
You believe more than you'd ever doubt
You have faith and conviction in what you believe
But you still don't know what it's all about
Despite your beliefs, you don't know everything
Everybody knows
It's common knowledge
It's not something new
It's not a novel concept
It hides within you
The answer or solution you're looking for is inside you
There's someone near
There is someone close to you
But it's never clear
You're not sure who that person is
Just getting by
Just making it through each day
With no disguise
Without pretending to be someone you're not
Spend your days living like a clown
Living without purpose or direction
You need to find
You must locate
Some peace of mind
A sense of calm and contentment
You still don't know what I'm talking about
You're still confused about what I mean
Something new
A fresh perspective
You'll be the one who fakes it
You will be the one pretending
You'll be the one that hates it
You will be the one who dislikes the pretense
Yeah, yeah, yeah
