OTHERS BY NO ONE – A Reverie To Quell The Giants (2021)

Others by No One was born out of the desire to share original, quirky sounds to the world at large, coupling years of intense work on each member’s individual craft with a deep passion for composition and songwriting. Anybody can sit around and work on sweeps and taps, but they have to fit – Despite their technical experience, they are not a “wank” band. They are, however, a group of experienced, progressive gentlemen who have each been around the block many times writing and performing live with our previous bands – Others by No One is finally real because those bands couldn’t satisfy the high standards they set for theirselves, their audience, and the world of music they can create with the musicians they have assembled.

Listening to them, you will find music with hints from every genre you can imagine, often within the space of a single song – They always work towards memorable moments for theirselves and their listeners in their music. Anything goes in ObNO – Metal, funk, jazz, atmospheric/ambient, blues, a cappella, pop-punk, catchy choruses, countless reprises, and (of course) obligatory, massive concepts under the progressive banner.

It’s hard to promote when you’re a prog band that’s crazy in just about every way – You’ll just have to listen. At the end of the day the listener decides what they’re like.

Insane, talented, technical, crazy group of entertainers called Others by No One bring the thunder with progressive chops and a passion for composition. Prepare to be confused or something.

SONG LYRICS:

Say you want a little taste of something wicked Lives sing to the soil in the wreckage of The giants destroying our homes

Eat them all, delicious sheep Capture the big man, watch us feed You are in ruin, heated meat For this, we must come down from our cloud Your life, it desecrates our vow In the name of all that is now BOW DOWN!

And so you’ve all convened right here The message, the message isn’t clear There’s something wrong here Something’s wrong here Find your friends They’re scattered about the houses In pieces and parts, postmodernist art I’m missing the vital, most important part

There’s no heart And if I start, good lord, I’ll – I’ll start! In the cavern of a soul Where there used to be a heart My world is falling apart

Closer now than I’ve ever felt You know how much I love you so But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go You’d walk away If you had half the mind (If you have the mind, if you halve the kind)

Friends tell me friends are simpler I don’t want to believe Friends tell me friends are simpler I don’t want to believe

In spite of all, we lay besieged Sometimes I want to watch them leave Dead don’t need no time to grieve Who asked you, you wrinkled fiend? Silence before me Who can steep the rebellion’s fall? I want to go home

But I’m closer now than I’ve ever felt You know how much I love you so But if you stay right here, you’ll have to go So find your way Before you lose your mind

So I hold sides Watch their dreams become Something more than life Because I never felt quite the same Since that night, that night

When the sun comes down on our every day You will know you’re in trouble soon When a life asks what living life is for Do not give it an answer soon With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold There is no chance we are doomed For the pounding of our sacred hearts Will find us an answer soon, so come on now

When the sun comes down on our every day You will know you’re in trouble soon When a life asks what living life is for Do not give it an answer soon With a future so bold, every problem’s foretold There is no chance we are doomed For the pounding of our sacred hearts Will find us the answer soon

And when the moon, he whispers I’m right We’ll be fine, they’re coming Now we do the dance of those who have no chance (Silence)

“A shepherd feasts on his misshapen flock in masses”

Let me show you the words – Listen: Hey, okay Flaunt the loss of love today Ohhh, I should’ve done it yesterday Hey, okay Flaunt the loss of love today Hey, okay

Hahahaha! Feel the spirits crushed beneath the wheels Hey, okay Got nothin’ to say anyway I could’ve done it yesterday Hey, okay Flaunt the loss of love today Hey, you’ll say As I take your life away

Final hour baptisms Just to feed on the blights Damn the portcullis We walk into danger tonight

I have come now to relieve Our blessed father, that wretched father The ace up the devil’s sleeve And should we perish here tonight They threaten all that we’ve strived for, our way of life Ahhh, do you hear ‘em calling? (Do you?) They’re psalms of war You betrayed our Father’s word He will come for us, as he always has and will Into the chapel, Father forgive them

And on we drive, and on we drive They cannot stop us with hearts alive And on we ride, and on we ride We cannot stop them with hearts alive

The reverie to quell the giants is silence
