Their first, self-titled demo was released seven months after the band formed. In 2000 they released their first album, People Mover, on Therapy Records. After months of touring the band signed with Eulogy Records where they released the Fading Out EP and their second album, Moments From Mourning, both in 2002.
Shortly after this release, Zach announced that he would be playing guitar in Mae.
Months after their last release the band released info on their web site regarding working on a new EP, but decided to record new tracks and release it as a full album. In 2004 the band announced it would be breaking up, never having released the EP or recorded any new tracks for it. The band played one final show in their hometown to a sold out crowd. The EP was supposed to be titled Life On Repeat, and contains five tracks that were never officialy released.
Early 2007 the band announced that they would be doing a reunion show with My Hotel Year in Orlando, FL on May 26th at Club Firestone.
Miracle
Unsung Zeros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of working hard at feeling sorry for myself
And after lunch I close my eyes
And wish to God that I could change
But when I wake up I'm so very much myself
And I'm a long way from believing
That I'm gonna be ok
That I'll escape this feeling that I hate
It's a miracle that we are here today
With all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
'Cause if you think hard
You'll know soon it will be ok
And you'll be holding on to someone
Holding on to someone
I wake up and start my everyday routine
Wondering what in the world I'm gonna do
'Cause things are falling into place
But I cannot appreciate them
'Cause if last I fell apart then this might do
And I'm a long way from believing
That I'm gonna be ok
Such a long way from believing
That I'll escape this feeling that I hate
It's a miracle that we are here today
With all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
'Cause if you think hard
You'll know soon it will be ok
And you'll be holding on to someone
Holding on to someone
Dimly lit by porch light
I can see your eyes
They are staring into my face
Staring into my face
I should trust what I see in them
I know the time is right
But still I'll take the easy road and wait
I've got to stop being scared
Music time it isn't fair
I could die tomorrow or today
Control is resting on my side
But knowing just would not be right
And that's not how I wanna live my life
And it's a miracle that we are here today
With all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
'Cause if you think hard
You'll know soon it will be ok
And you'll be holding on to someone
Holding on to someone
It's a miracle that we are here today
With all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
'Cause if you think hard
You'll know soon it will be ok
And you'll be holding on to someone
Holding on

Bless you for posting this! This is the only digital version of this song I can find, and I no longer have my 2002 Tour Comp! I’m 35, and I just needed to remember this song. So grateful I didn’t have to stick to a memory and get to hear it. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🙏
