Like with many of my new favorites, I stumbled upon Whitley accidentally while jamming to The Frightened Rabbit Pandora station. It was this song that turned me onto them and they seriously do not have a bad song.
Whitley - "Submarine"
Eye of the storm,
I have the form,
Willing to keep me.
I'm safe and warm,
Away from this war,
But bleeding is easy.
And when I find my way,
I'll take you home.
And when we see lightyears,
I'll take you home.
You're dying to breathe,
I watch your chest heave,
Breathing is easy.
All is not lost,
I am not lost,
Needle is easy.
And when I find my way,
I'll take you home.
And when we see lightyears,
I'll take you home.
The ghost hangs in you, love.
Where fathers make, mothers fall,
Will you call to above,
and prove you're not the man your father was?

As much as I love paying attention to the lyrics of songs that grab my attention, this one I honestly just enjoy musically. I have a feeling it would be great live though.
Have you heard of Whitley? If so, what is your favorite song? Have you seen them live? And what do you think the meaning behind this song is?

Wow. I {really} like this. I'm going to ask my daughter if she's heard of them before. I don't think I'e eer heard them before on Alt Nation, but I could be mistaken.
