Vancouver's By A Thread have tightly knit a new sound, drawing their influences from Seattle's Sunny Day Real Estate, hometown favorites Sparkmarker, and their own hardcore roots. Formed in 1996 by former members of Strain, By A Thread weave complex melodies with poetic lyrics that speak to the muse in each of us.

Lyrics:

So long my friend I'll never find you there
To late for never you separate
On my own two feet golden held with locks of May

Holding on my friends are far too deep
What use to be...but I'll be there for a while

I'm on my way
I see seven shades of gray today

It's too late for me

A faceless tragedy I recall with open hands
But this outlet seems too thin
I try to reach you with your seven shades of gray

It's too late for me
It's too late

So long my friend I'll never find you there
To late for never you separate
So long my friend
So long my friend
So long
So long
So long

It's too late for me
It's too late
For me
