StrongHold (IL)

Hey! We're StrongHold. We're made up of two 17 year old guys from Bloomington, IL, - Alex Garner and Ryan Marquardt. We started StrongHold in March of 2004, but prior to that, we had wrote songs for a few years together, but never really did anything with them, because we were so young and just messed around with all that stuff for fun. We're recording our first CD at the moment, thanks to Alex's cousin, Mark Lockett, who was in the band The Normals (check them out! they're GREAT!!!). Alex does guitars and vocals, and Ryan does some piano and vocals. Anything else you want to know? Give us a message at our band email address... stronghold@rock.com

Story behind the song

The movie Crash...Amazing

Lyrics

Silence is Golden when we’re,
Both thinking of each other.
And I will never forget,
The time I spend with you.
Lets get acquainted so I,
Will not forget you and I,
 Will always be right by your side.

He needs to learn that this just won’t be and,
He doesn’t know what to believe in.
He’s going fast,
Going way too fast and he thinks that he should end it all.

Everything is perfect,
But my favorite song is that same old tune.
Everything is alright,
But everything I see reminds me of you.
Everything is perfect,
But my favorite song is that same old tune.
Everything is alright,
But everything I see reminds me of you.

And the girl next door is his best friend,
She doesn’t know what to believe in.
She’s struggling with something herself but he won’t even listen.

So she screams her story,
And so it goes.

I’m really sick of this world,
Waiting for it to uncurl.
All different kind of people,
Yet one can’t take control.
It’s difficult to obtain,
Everything that’s in remains,
When all we do is tear it up to little pieces.

Everything is perfect,
But we’re crushing the one thing we have.
Everything is alright,
And it’s hard to build back up with time.
Everything is perfect,
But our self-conscious won’t let us escape.
Everything is just fine,
We do what we need to make another day.
