I would have posted the song of the week last week when I should have but Michel ran over my ear buds with her car (and no, I wasn’t wearing them at the time) so I couldn’t listen to my iPod. So here is last week’s song off my iPod.

Eighteen Visions - TonightlessEighteen Visions was a metalcore/alternative band from Orange County, California formed in 1995. Metalcore is a fusion genre combining elements of metal, hardcore punk, and emo. The band went through various members over the years but when they broke up in 2007 the band consisted of James Hart (vocals), Ken Floyd (guitar), Keith Barney (guitar), Mick Morris (bass), and Trevor Friedrich (drums). The band released 6 albums over the years and toured extensively with acts such as HIM, Lostprophets, Avenged Sevenfold, and Bullet for My Valentine. In 2007 the group broke up, announcing that the members of the band had been together for 12 years and no longer had the same vision for where the group should be heading.

Released in 2007, Eighteen Visions was the final album by Eighteen Vision and was their only album for Epic Records. The album was slightly different than the metalcore the group had previously produced towards a more alternative sound. However, it sold poorly and received little support from Epic. The album peaked at #74 on the Billboard charts but disappeared from the charts rapidly after the first week. “Tonightless” was the first single from the album and peaked at #38 on the Billboard charts.

Tonightless
We’ll be tonightless

We can’t wait another moment
Our time will come before we know it
With your heart you’ve got to open up this time
I don’t want to be alone tonight

Am I gonna be tonightless again?
All of the loneliness has got to end
I know the years have been so bittersweet
But you don’t have to go so please don’t leave

Our souls are lost without each other
We’ve gotta find time to recover
If you hold me close this heartache will subside
I don’t want to be alone tonight

Am I gonna be tonightless again?
All of the loneliness has got to end
I know the years have been so bittersweet
But you don’t have to go so please don’t leave

We’ll be tonightless
We’ll be tonightless
(You know we will, you know we will)
We’ll be tonightless again baby
