about

”The song is about two things: the dream of flying and willpower. Now, Freud would have told me ’No, the dream you’re describing in the song is not actually about flying’ and I’ll let him have that one. Because Soar is about finding the willpower and determination to fly through life itself, to rise above and beyond and finding your own true happiness, whatever that means for you” singer-songwriter Jon Fisherman explains.

lyrics

Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs to feel safe
Found mine in a dream I had
Outside a world gone mad

So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style

But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar

Everyone needs a fighting chance
Everyone needs a sword in their hands
Found strength in the dream I had
No gravity holding me back

So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style

But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar

Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs a saving grace
Everyone needs to dig out a hole
But I was born with a restless soul

’Cause I was ever meant to
’Cause I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
Yeah, I was ever meant to
I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before

about

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
