Eisley

Eisley: Considered an indie on a major. Formed in 1997 in their bedroom after youngest sibling wrote their first song at 8, performed first show in '98, grow in local coffee house/rock venue, played 100's of shows as unsigned indie for 4 years ('98 - '02) in Texas, found and audience in Deep Ellum with Dallas, TX fans where label scouts sent rep's to see the band live showcasing in LA/NY Eisley signed w/ Warner Bros. 2 EP's + 2 Full Lengths (+ several B-side) later, Eisley's steady growth and credibility as writers / performers comes from the live side (touring). The band's undaunted commitment to their own unique, visually imaginative brand has, perhaps, curbed access to mass homogenized portals such as FM radio, though, single - "Telescope Eyes" charted on Dallas rock radio (102.1 The Edge) as 24th most played song in 2003. Indifferent to industry boundaries / conventions, Eisley continues their expansion (invasion :-) centered around adherence to the their own creative style, devotion to song-crafting, commitment to on-line (relational, tangible) marketing, and an unquenchable passion for touring. Past tours include: Coldplay (Rush of BTH US/Canada tour), Brand New (Deja Entendu Tour), Snow Patrol (Final Straw Tour), Yahoo Sponsored Eisley headlining tour, New Found Glory (Catalyst Tour - 60 shows), Switchfoot (Nothing is Sound Tour), Taking Back Sunday (Louder Now Tour - Aus/UK), The Fray (How to Save a Life Tour), Mute Math (Reset Tour), plus TONS of Eisley headlining tours and festivals: Coachella, V-Fest (UK), Voo- Doo Fest, Reading and Leeds Festivals - UK. Eisley made their TV debut on Conan O'brien in August '07

Story behind the song

Written by Sherri and Stacy DuPree after reading "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by Jack Finney.

Lyrics

the colorless words are burning our heels as the bright lights
of the city fade
taking the chase to curb our fear as the bloodless moon
cast's it's face


oh something's not right, i can feel it inside, something's not right


you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold


all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless
go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit
shifting your shape to our shells


oh something's not right, i can feel it inside, something's not right


you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold
you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold


and they will try to make us forget ourselves
one by one one by one
call me crazy but they are after us
one by one one by one
you don't have to know the truth
if you believe it, i believe it too
you don't have to know the truth
if you believe it, i believe it too

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside, something's not right

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold
you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold
