Haha if you want a good laugh look at this! A spanish music website listed us as one of the artists which is a little bit weird i guess... but really cool at the same time!

This was the final act of transitions. It's a song written by a collaboration band between Tacit Aria, Savingsomeone and FAS. Coeway and Darren play in this song.

TRANSITIONS

2009-08-18T04:49:00.000-07:00

Transitions was the most fun we ever had on stage. The EP turned out to be a great success and was probably what we needed to steer us on the right direction. First off, i would like to thank everyone who had helped out with our set. Wei Wen (For This Cycle), Bong (Trella), Ben Loh (IKILLEDKENNY!) for lending us their voices. Avery from Big Ear Musica who had helped us with the equipment and everyone who came early to decorate the place.

Big big love to our usual friends who came and support us and everyone else who took pictures, talked about us online, said hi to us and had a good time. Savingsomeone and Tacit Aria for sticking by us and sharing this experience with us. "We are the image of the invisible!" I hope you all really enjoy the EP.

For those of you who do not know, 'Transitions" was recorded at irfan's home and was mixed and mastered by him. We did the pressing ourselves and distribution is on the way. Independence all the way!

What's next for us?

We are taking a break until November 2009 where we will be coming back with new songs and new dance moves for you.

I am very excited.

To new beginnings,

FAS

Hey Coeway here,

for those that read this blog, thank you, and i would really like to thank everyone who came down to support us for ANY of our shows. Truth is, you are the reason we perform. Another truth, we never show our appreciation. I know that wheneve Yiying, Bella, Ben Loh, Ben Tan or even Matthew, Greg, Reuben, Darrell, Zihan, yeah i am happy, but deep down, i take it for granted that they turn up and i would like to apologise. I know, and i want you to know that i know, that it takes time out of your time in order for you to come to our shows and though we play the same songs over again, you are still there, never failing to support us. so yeah, Thank you Matthew, Shengyi, Benloh, and all those who turn up. Yiying, Bella, Colleen, i also want to personally thank you because i guess for guys to hang out it is easier, but to always see and hang out with you guys, it really makes us happy too, just that maybe some of us are not able to show it. I am sorry if i missed out anyone, and so therefore i apologise again but the thing is that i just want everyone who supports us to know that i thank you, when i see you, it really makes the practice worthwhile.

so from Fire Away, Samson!

THANK YOU

With the dance of the sparrows

It all came to me

How i feel so caged, and long to be free

With the hymn the wolves

I strive to be true

To you

With the glow of the star light

I felt the truth

Through the silence, i heard you

Through the silence, you came through

To be alive, to feel existent

I have found direction

Have you?

To be alive, to feel existent

I'll make a difference

Will you?

Son, don't let the colors take you

Don't you dare join this parade

All we are is black, white and blue

Everything else will come to fade some day

You will be somebody

Son, take the beaten path

Your dreams will take you nowhere

I've been in your shoes and out

Listen to me son, you want no other candy

Than what i can give

This is the mould, don't deviate

This is the world, my boy, appreciate..

Somebody get me out of here

By then maybe i will lose your eyes

It's funny how we share the same blood

Yet I will never be as cold blooded as you

Now, i'm fighting my ownself

...Maybe time will get me out of here

Such A Day (Would Tremble To Begin)

2009-07-22T03:06:00.000-07:00

To factuality, I've found fatality

And for lies, I found lives

This is the dead sea

This is the red sea

It's only as savage as it gets in your head

See what i see, feel what i feel

If you could save like i save

What are we fighting for?

First to fist from skin to bones

Taste of blood and tears,

It's a familiar fear

No, you would never know

If you put a bullet through my head

Think of the families, kids and the wives

What if i was just as innocent?

So we open our eyes to this facade of camaraderie

It's one for all and all for one and they'll just sell you out

And expect you to take it with a pinch of salt and rub it in

Another old roll of good times and close friends. We will be receiving and uploading our new song "Such A Day Would Tremble To Begin" tomorrow morning. It is one of the two songs, including new song "Gates" which will be featured in our split EP "TRANSITIONS" coming this August 15.

For effective studying, listen to "The Hawk Is Howling" by Mogwai. I am going to do that. Right now.

2009-07-18T09:55:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday Matt, who has been supporting us since day one. Thank you.

First time posting on this blog and yeah hope it turns out to be an interesting read.

I just read Jerald's happy birthday wish for me on this blog, and i would like to say that i am very touched. It reminded me of how great it is for me to have so many friends like him, and including him, who remembered my birthday and made me feel special on a day that had me desperately needing some attention. So for all those who wished me happy birthday, and joined in the surprise during the For This Cycle Ep launch, thank you. So much. :) You do not know how great it feels to be appreciated and remembered on a day where hopes get high and often get crushed because expectations are not met. So once again, thank you. So just to let you know that you are personally recognised, i would like to name you. Firstly, Pearly Gan Li Ping, the love of my life hehehe, Jerald Giambra, Zachariah Chow Jiecky Rui, Daowinderkor, lyn, Wei, Ze, macho marcus, phractocephalus hemioloptetrus (spot the mistake), Bunny Loh, Yiyiyiyiying, Mattheen Chia, eh boy, isabella, clara, madi, chestereamo, marcus chua, larisa, jecolia, ryan, james tan, james lai, greg, and there are so many to mention, so basically all who went to surprise me.

Thank you so much, and tomorrow is the day we revamp the Nepenthes Garden.

We played for the "for this cycle ep launch" last night. It was really fun and we learnt many new things and experienced many new things such as..... getting caught by HSA and to avoid getting shat on my birds.

Big thank you to: Wei Wen and his family, Ryan Chang from Savingsomeone, Nor Asyraf and our best friend Yiying for taking amazing photos of us, Everyone who came down to support us from ACS I, Darrell, Zhi Han and Reuben for always supporting us, Chester for the flowers haha thanks sexy, Our bestest pals, the Mirror You boys for rushing down after their jamming, Trella for always being our older brothers, Chris the soundman, Roland for making us laugh, Ambra, Pearly and Becky for sticking by us :-)

FROM BEFORE

2009-07-09T09:44:00.000-07:00

It's been a year since we have been a band. I met Coeway last year through a friend. We actually went to buy some fighting fish. Coeway then invited me to help out in a project that he was having with Darren this is why i am here. I have learnt plenty from Coeway. About music, life, faith, love and everything else.

Without him i probably would not be who i am right now.

Happy birthday, Coeway Boulder Thng

Fire Away Samson has always been a band of fun, fellowship and of course music. I created this blog to hopefully create a bridge between us and anyone who listens to what we have to say. There are many exciting things to come, and i don't want anyone to be kept in the dark.
