Stacey Nelso… Read Full Bio ↴Unfinished Thought began as a duo in 2001 in Kalamazoo, MI.
Stacey Nelson provides beautiful female vocals [often times with 3 or even 4 part harmonies] which combine with Joe Kiser's unique studio sound of crashing industrial guitars and driving, mechanical rhythms to produce a sound that is truly unique.
They've been compared to Evanescence, Garbage, Kidneythieves, Lacuna Coil and Depeche Mode.
UT's first studio album, "Becoming Aware", was released in December 2002 on Shiverstar Records, UT's own Midwest label.
The album sold slowly via the UT website until Evanescence got a hold of the disc and began playing it in between sets on their world tour with Cold. Album sales sky rocketed and put Unfinished Thought on the musical map.
UT's second studio album, "Based On Actual Events" was released in April, 2004.
On 2005 they released their "Exits EP" on Shiverstar Records.

The lyrics to Unfinished Thought’s song “My Valentine’s Last Breath” convey a sense of regret, disappointment, and desperation. The singer appears to be reflecting on a relationship that has ended badly, possibly due to addiction or substance abuse. The first verse suggests that while the lover was sleeping, the singer was contrasting their flaws with their dreams. The singer seems to be questioning whether their lover is deserving of another chance, and if they can reconcile and return to the way things were before. The second verse introduces the theme of synthetic medication and temptation, perhaps suggesting that the lover is using drugs or medication to cope with their problems.
The chorus then mentions regret and missing someone, as well as a desire to know more about why things ended the way they did. The third verse speaks directly to the singer’s father, apologizing for something that was not done, and stating that the father made the singer into the person they are today. The final chorus repeats the regret and desire for knowledge, this time with a sense of desperation as the singer pleads with their partner not to leave them. Overall, the lyrics appear to be about the complex emotions that arise from a failed relationship and the struggles of addiction and substance abuse.
