Phish

Phish is an American rock band noted for its musical improvisation, extended jams, exploration of music across genres, and adoring fan base. Formed at the University of Vermont in 1983 (with the current line up solidifying in 1985), the band's four members—Trey Anastasio (guitars, lead vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, percussion, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals)—performed together for over 20 years before breaking up in August 2004. They reunited March 2009 for Phish in Hampton, a series of three consecutive concerts played in the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, and have since resumed performing regularly. more »

 Struggling with Thread? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I pulled a thread out of the air
Golden and shining as thin as a hair
I couldn't do nothing but hold it and stare
I don't know why it was hovering there

I felt it pull on something inside
My chest was heaving, the knot came untied
And freed me to move, to stir from my stone
Determined to never again be alone

Wrapping the golden thread tight round my wrist
I picture you singing to wolves in the mist
You were my companions but you left me behind
A frown on your face and revenge on your mind

The wolves are long gone, the years have flown by
And I slept on a cliff side with views of the sky
Hoping that maybe you'd visit anew, oh yeah yeah
The site where your soul left and upwards it flew

Now this thread fills me again with resolve
A mission to go on, a mystery to solve
I soar above treetops with the thread as my guide
It's pulling me closer to you as I glide
As I glide

I then see a churchyard, with only one stone (as I glide)
With writing unusual, the body unknown (as I glide)
Did you pass by here when you set out alone? (As I glide)
The words bring no comfort and chill to the bone

Etch some words
Arrange them well
It seems you've got a lot to tell
Writings echo what you think
Using shadows as your ink
You chisel memories in stone
These thoughts are yours and yours alone
You're alone
You're alone
You're alone

Lay down the words
Relax your grasp
And sleep beneath the epitaph
You're alone
You're alone
You're alone
