indie folk revolution.
indie folk revolution, from Gainesville, FL. redboy is an assortment of like-minded musicians that come together in various combinations to rock out. sometimes it's just M.C. by herself, sometimes it's everyone making beautiful noise together. redboy is a created category, a claimed identity where no positive identity was readily provided. if you are reading this, you might be a redboy too. red because we're guilty, and we can't conceal it. boy because we're not, and we won't become it. guilty of not being boys, of living in a world designed for someone else's success. that's our scarlet letter. what's yours? redboy is where you go when society begins to whisper in your ear. it will tell you that your unorthodox face cannot be hidden, they will pin the triangle through your sleeve and into your skin, they will tell you that conformity is freedom and freedom is your priviledge and not your right. you are an un-ideal. perhaps you are the antithesis of the ideal, since you are conscious that you do not belong in the traditional, socially intelligible boxes, and yet continue to exist in spite of the discord you encounter when your life is measured against the expectations of Others. you have always had the freedom to reject the idea of categorization. in fact, you may have been doing it all along. redboy is a box with no sides, no top. only a bottom, a base of support, a loving step from which to leap. we create our own space, instead of allowing others to assign/identify our boundaries. we self-identify, while questioning the need for identification. we say it because it is not said. we have faith.

Story behind the song
this song is equally moving and frustrating. sometimes i wish the lyrics were better - more poetic, more specific, more something. but it's one of those emotional vomit songs. it just came out this way, and editing/censoring just didn't feel right. but check out the sweet guitar lick that Dave Owen plays on the mp3.
Lyrics
You’re still the light of my life You give my words shape I fall asleep every night With my eyes on your face I came to you with my head a mess I needed your advice I gave you all that I had, how much more To keep you in my life You give no second chances, you’re telling me it’s all or nothing But I’ve got my hands on you, what makes you think I’m gonna let go You’re saying I’m telling you it’s over, saying that it’s gotta be over Well, I never told you it was over and it’s not over yet, listen to me (Chorus) what can I say to you Baby tell me What can I say to you To make it better What can I say to you Let me in, babe What can I say to you To make you understand I know I hurt you I know I made it hard You gave it up to me And you’ve never left my heart Call me wrong but I feel this, I have to be sure for this kind of risk I met you too young and we both know we can’t take it back I know you don’t want to understand, maybe I just lost the best I’ll ever have But I can’t shake this, I won’t fake this, I’m not leaving without you, babe (chorus) (interlude) (chorus) Think it’s so easy for me to seek this out, I’m still broken in two I can’t call you yet, we have to sort this out, I want to tell you I miss you . . .
