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 »

Someone's always telling me to breathe
The wind is always whispering through the leaves
It sings to the world
They cling to the world
I listen and believe

The music stops and echoes linger on
The secret to the kingdom was conferred
I'm waiting 'til you sing me one more song
The messenger revealed the ruler's word
You promised the moon
But I need a tune
For notes are rarely wrong

We built a kingdom out of lies
And then we blindly fanned the fire
We warmed our hands with glowing coals
But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume, muffled moans
Thoughts conveyed in undertones
We built a kingdom out of lies

The moonlight dances softly on the leaves
A message in the pattern that it weaves
It urges me now
It's pleading somehow
Telling me to breathe

We built a kingdom out of lies
And then we blindly fanned the fire
We warmed our hands with glowing coals
But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume, muffled moans
Thoughts conveyed in undertones
We built a kingdom out of lies

Moonlight dances softly on the leaves
A message in the pattern that it weaves
It urges me now
It's pleading somehow
Telling me to breathe

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
