Ever been so frustrated you want to just scream and cry out with all your might? When you fall so far the only way to get help is to look up from being flat on your face. Sometimes the only place to go when your down in the dumps is on your knees.

WE CALL IT MUTT MUSIC!! Alternative, Punk, Acoustic, Folk, Surf, Grunge, Bluegrass, YEAH! Counting Crows meets Collective Soul with a splice of Dave Matthews
A guy from Surftown, CA meets up with some crazy Texans, and this is what you get! We call it "Mutt Music"! Ultimately we bring life to music, making reality a part of all that we are. Too much fluff music is out there, and its time that some bands with a heart for being real with themselves and others step up. This is all about bringing the realities of life to a lyrical interchange. Collectively BOB! includes the multitalents of some of Fort Worth's premier artists. Zac Elliott on Electric Guitar and backup vocals has played with multiple bands, and is featured on the 'Foxy Morons', playing bass with 'Benevolence' as well as our first venture "The LongBoard Longhorns'. Chris "CykoKirby" Smith whails on bass and also plays with 'AdoTheos'. Jon Eric Pettersson is the drummer, and he kicks some major beats. Hes also known as the master of cymbals and a connoisseur of many. George Book, Jr. flies on lead guitar and keyboards (when we get them). David Walters is the man on Percussions and backup vocals as well. Finally, Shane Anderson is the lead vocalist, rythym guitarist, and main lyricist. Althought this venture includes all these talents, many times the band goes without one or two or picks up others.

Story behind the song
This came at the impasse in my life where I felt failure was on every side. I had nothing left, and yet I still had someone. Someone to cry out to, someone calling out to me. Someone who so desperately wanted to come and free me from my own desperation. The only thing is myself was the great chasm. My pride, My temptation, my great infatuation was keeping me from the freedom of a separate freedom. A freedom that comes from admitting your own weakness and accepting your place. I couldn't cover that expanse, only one whose blood covered me and washed me could make me spotless. Only One whose greatest folly was my unbelief, only One whose name means life.
Lyrics
Oh I get so close, but I feel so far! Striving harder it seems, I plunge farther from where you are! I fail too much from where I want to be. Living, learning, crying: I wind up on my knees! Here I stand guilty in you face! Asking for forgiveness, seeking redemption for my own ways! (CHORUS) Looking for perfection, I fall down this great expanse. Drawn to your arms, you break my crushing advance! Distraught by temptation, there I seek my satisfaction. Why do I harm my own reputation? Destroying character, outright sanctity, I cry out even harder, escaping this disease! (Chorus) CHORUS: Folly, Folly! Why can't I believe? Your calling, calling out to me! Holy, Holy, Separate me please!! Solely, Solely, yours I cry!! I Cry!! I Cry!!
