Appearing from out of Pensacola, FL, the band climbed into the 1997 global progressive metal scene with their debut album, "Prophet's Dream". They established t
GAVIN MEAGHER: vocals Creating vocal melodies since the age of seventeen, Gavin actually began experimenting with music at a younger age, by playing guitar. Then something magical happened. As he stared through the looking glass of such vocalists as Rob Halford, Layne Staley and Ian Gillan, he started setting his sights on rock stardom. Finding his way into the musical fold of Foreseen as current vocalist, Gavin is stretching out his broad range and expressing a diverse collection of emotional boundaries. Whether Gavin is using his voice soaring high or devastatingly low, he captures the meaning and intensity of every lyric to create memorable melodies. "I get off on the live feedback of every person we perform for and in return, that interaction between us makes for an electric performance." GARY HUMPHREY: Guitars Playing stringed instruments since the age of eight, music has always been present in Gary's life. Having a strong love for the live performance, he has been playing gigs since sixteen. Though Gary is able to break a song down to its subtle elements, his true nature in playing is all out, energy driven riffs. The tendency for most guitar players is to over play. Surround yourself with great players, and you can create something great with more understandable elements. To me its better to feed off the energy of the group around me. MICHAEL LUKERS: Drums Michael has performed many styles of music since he began this journey. Some of Lukers' inspirations come from influential artists such as Johan Langell, Snowy Shaw, Vik Foxx, Shannon Larkin and Mark Zonder (to name drop just a few). Michael has the ability to push Foreseen's intricately powerful music while also letting the "experience" breathe. "I love being one of the four driving and visual entities in our band. Playing my kit is a feeling that pumps through my blood every day. We try to entertain as one big machine. When that happens, this band can move the crowd with high energy. That's when it's a good show. JOE HAMMOND: Bass Guitar The slamming low-end frequencies found in Foreseen's music are produced by bassist extraordinaire Joe Hammond. Playing his instrument since the age of ten, Joe found his home as the monster bassist of Foreseen. Possessing an extreme talent for finding inside grooves, he also ventures into the spotlight without taking away from the overall song structure. Joe's interpretations of bass guitar come from studying such performers as Steve Harris, Geezer Butler and John Entwistle. Joe's experience on the instrument gives him a confident aura and wild inner strength. A man on a mission to entertain you on stage and in the studio...

Lyrics
(Once upon a time...) acoustic intro I'm not of flesh I'm not machine A cowards feelings do not possess me I come from above your starlit sky My terrace of ecstasy As lovers blaze in a rage of glory Wishing out for me I vision a day that I might find To see myself on your side But as for now, reality's here And time's become my friend As lovers blaze in a rage of glory Embers burn bright as the sun The room grows faint as the fire dies I am the chosen one Chorus I Here I stay under quiet skies Wishing to be there by your side Stranded in time where you can't see me, watching you Dream a little dream, a dream unspoken Embrace the rise of the day Of all the things you'll love in a lifetime I'll be with you another day Take your feelings and hold my hand Now's the time to be free I'll be with you and then you'll see We were meant to be Chorus II Here I stay under quiet skies Wishing to be there by your side Stranded in time where you can't see me, watching you Here I stay waiting for a sign Gathering all those tears you cried Breathe in deep and whisper to me now Call my name
