They recorded a four song EP entitled "Dirty Laundry, Part 2: The Drying," which ran about 15 minutes (like most of their early performances) and decided they needed a band name. They selected the name "Viv."
-------------------------------------
Now it is the year 2010. Will lives in Norway. Ned lives in southern Minnesota. Chris and Jason are in Duluth. Yet the band persists: Several incarnations of the band play periodically; Will and Ned continue to write and introduce new songs.
A tour is planned for January 2011, and an EP of entirely new material is being recorded for the tour.
But a problem came up when Ned googled his own band's name and discovered that some mother-effer from the Counting Crows had already been using that moniker to record merely decent music for several years.
Anyway, short story long: the band is now called Fours.
They've checked all over the internet and found that a Serbian Techno group with no recordings, no past performances, and 452 total profile views, as well as a Post-Punk band with even fewer credentials already have this name.
To that they have said: "So what?"
Tell your friends: Fours has plans to take over the world. And, upon reviewing this biography, plans to talk your ears/eyes off and overuse colons and semicolons.
Stella
fours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on earth to me
In "Stella by Starlight," the lyrics portray the profound and timeless beauty of a woman named Stella. The opening line compares her charm to the sweet melody of a robin's song, which is a symbol of joy and nature's harmony. The phrase "through years of endless springs" suggests that Stella's allure is enduring, transcending the passage of time. The image of a murmuring brook at eventide represents tranquility and intimacy, emphasizing the secrecy and seclusion of a lover's hideaway. The lyrics express the intensity of Stella's impact through the use of grand imagery, describing her as a "great symphonic theme." This metaphor implies that Stella encompasses all the beauty and complexity of a masterful musical composition. The repeated assertion that she is "Stella by starlight" reinforces her ethereal and otherworldly qualities.

The song a robin sings
The joyful melody that a robin sings

Throughout countless seasons of renewal and growth

Both my emotions and I are in complete harmony
She's everything on earth to me
