Story behind the song
About Band & their music:
So here's the dirt. It's the chaos of 5 guys with distinct musicalosophies. Throw in a hint of insane creativity, 5 buckets of adrenaline, some genuine honesty, mass amounts of good old Malaysian food, and a truck load of goofiness. We love every second of it. Musical consistency...huh? We're not too sure about that. It's the hype of diving into cafeteria full of climatic melodies, speculative sounds, and punch rhythms and grabbing at anything that cascades nicely into our ears and ours. Take a look under the hood and you'll find an engine of heart and soul fueled by our Saviour, who is the only reason why the wheels of this bus go round and round. But what's a bus without a party of people in it? Yes you. As far as we know, it's a free ride homies. we ain't called Bus Company for nothing.
Samuel Oh - frontman
Shaun Xavier - guitars
Larry Chew - bass
Eugene Goh - keys
Darren Ashley - drums
Bus company first and foremost thanks our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the ultimate genius of music and the only reason our music flies in the first place. To the most rock 'n' roll and chilled out band mates ever and especially the former ones - glad you guys were a part of the journey. Our families who have showed never ending support. Our mentors, close friends and band friends who have inspired us in every way and especially pushing us to get this single out.
The Multi - task - talented band manager, Amelia Tan - you really helped make our dreams come true. All the down times, emo sessions and fail.com moments - we grew from it and learnt what NOT to do. Last but definitely not least, the fans (we still wonder if we really have any till today), supporters and bus riders - you guys are legends! And you who bought, burnt, or stole this single, we love you all, come hop on the bus!
Lyrics
For Heaven – Bus Company
Retreat to base
Your heart is numb and broken
And there’s nothing left to wake
Your hopes again
Ashes fall down now
On your face
Another battle lost
Another lucid scar
Forfeit this game
It’s all in vain your frail attempts
Can you hold on
Can you look pass these barren lands
Sink or swim
Do or die
Only the brave will fly
These hands are stained from bitter days
Only you can wash away
Bring back the fire in your eyes
Remember someday we all will die
If you last then glory will find you
And if you pass then you know
You’ll walk through
Eternal life
Take your chance
The clock’s not running any slower
Cuz’ sooner or later the curtains are closing
And life has passed you by
I won’t wait for the sun to set on us
For Heaven I remember
But you can’t give up this time
No you can’t give up this time
You know you’ve got to walk this line
And you cannot fall behind
