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 is what happens when you want to write a song but you can't seem to find any angst to fuel it with. it's like trying to build a fire with wet kleenex.
Lyrics
that's how my windshield got cracked driving in Atlanta with the sun at my back but the shape was kind of beautiful so i got it tattooed on my arm and you think it's all a formula it's always a shock when you're not i said, i'm leaving, leaving, leaving all of my interpretation i'm just going to let it come (chorus) baby, how much weight can this table hold i feel with my fingers and taste with my tongue that's the way bodies stretch to fill their space but ain't nobody can be replaced that's the way my guitar's been crying every night while i sleep it's been feeling, feeling, feeling so scared that i'm just going to leave yeah, ask my girl, what do i regret truth is, there's a lot of things but i know, i know, i know, i know i can't go back and do it differently i feel alright (chorus) and i can drive my car to your house with my cracked-up windshield, unashamed you gotta leave it, leave it, leave it leave that shit behind you gotta find your way (chorus)
