After an inspiring trip to Kalalau on the island of Kauai in 2010, the brothers (Nate “Frogg” and Travis Wheeland) set out to write and record their first album “Toast to the Coast”. Combining forces with their friends (Marcus Agundes and Brandon Lark), they began developing their sound and performing at venues all over OC. Recently in May 2012 their album was released along with the music video for their first single “Sand in My Sheets” which has since been added to retail playlists in stores such as Hollister Co. Their second music video was released in October 2012, featuring rising surf star Tia Blanco.
Over the past year, Wheeland Brothers have opened shows for Donovan Frankenreiter and Collie Buddz among others and have recently performed at iconic California venues such as The Troubadour, The Catalyst and the House of Blues and will be playing The Roxy Theatre on December 1st.

Fool
Wheeland Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz right now I'm about to live it up live it up with you
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
I know it's gettin' late
And I really like the things you've got to say
I'm beggin' you to stay
I just do it in my own particular way
Focusing on everything, can't wait for what the daylight brings
We could live it up like kings, ever and after
Offering you everything, even when the sadness stings
I lift you up with guitar strings and make it laughter
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
And when my wave comes I'm so ready to fall, I'm so ready to fall
Spotlight on my shame now, I'm so ready to fall, I'm so ready to fall
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
Oooo oo oo oooo
Oooo oo oo oo
I've been playin', I've been playin' myself up like I'm a fool
The song "Fool" by Wheeland Brothers is a lively and upbeat song about living in the moment and enjoying life with someone you care about. The opening lyrics express excitement to spend time with the person and live life to the fullest. However, the chorus reveals that the singer has been playing themselves up like a fool, possibly indicating that they have been pretending to be someone they're not or making poor decisions in their pursuit of happiness. Despite this self-awareness, the singer is still eager to have fun with their companion.
The second verse affirms the singer's fondness for the person and their conversation, and the chorus repeats with a heightened sense of energy. The bridge features an extended metaphor about surfing, with the singer comparing themselves to a wave that is ready to fall. This reflects a sense of vulnerability and willingness to take risks in pursuit of happiness. The song concludes with a final repetition of the chorus, with the singer acknowledging that they have been foolish but still enthusiastic about enjoying life with their friend.
Overall, "Fool" is a song about embracing the present moment and living life without reservation. It acknowledges that mistakes can be made in pursuit of happiness, but it encourages taking risks and enjoying life to the fullest.
