En el corazón de Columbia, Carolina del Sur, emergió una banda que definiría el sonido del rock alternativo en la década de 2000. Crossfade, fundada en 1999 bajo el nombre "The Nothing", nació de la genialidad musical de Ed Sloan (vocalista y guitarrista), Mitch James (bajista y coros), y Brian Geiger (batería). Poco después, con la llegada de Tony Byroads (DJ, teclado y voces adicionales), el grupo adoptó el nombre definitivo que conocemos hoy.
El año 2004 marcó un hito para Crossfade con el lanzamiento de su álbum debut homónimo, Crossfade. Producido bajo la etiqueta Columbia Records, este álbum catapultó a la banda al estrellato. Canciones como "Cold" y "So Far Away" se colocaron rápidamente en los primeros puestos de las listas de éxitos de rock. "Cold", en particular, resonó profundamente con los fans, alcanzando el Top 10 en la lista de Mainstream Rock y el Top 100 del Billboard.
Tras el éxito inicial, Crossfade lanzó su segundo álbum, Falling Away, en 2006. Este proyecto mostró una madurez en su sonido, con temas como "Invincible" y "Drown You Out" destacando por sus letras profundas y arreglos complejos. Aunque el álbum no tuvo la misma repercusión comercial que su predecesor, solidificó la dedicación de una base de fans leal.
Durante este periodo, la banda experimentó cambios significativos en su alineación. Tony Byroads dejó el grupo y fue

No giving up Song Lyrics
No giving up by Crossfade so you found out today
you're life's not the same
not quite as perfect
as it was yesterday
when you were just
getting in the groove
now you're faced with something new
I know it hurts
and I know you feel torn
but you never gave up
this easily before
so why do you choose today
to give it all away
well it's not so bad y'all
together we all fall
just as long as we get up
we'll stand tall
we shouldn't waste another day
thinking 'bout the things
that we forgot to say
I'm hitting bad y'all
I'm kicking these four walls
just as hard as I can't
'till I can't crawl
I won't waste another day
with all these silly things
swimming in my brain
CHORUS
There's no giving up now
do you really wanna give this all away?
can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
over and over again
all over again
so your scars fade away
you soaked up the pain
a better person 'cause you
lived through those days
and now you know what it's like to prove
you can overcome anything that gets to you
well it's alright
we're saying our goodbyes
to the past and everything that ain't right
we won't waste another day
with only silly things in our way
There's no giving up now
do you really wanna give this all away?
can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
it's all you
giving up now
I know we have given
all that we can give
when there's nothing to lean on
will I remember this?
all we make of this lifetime
is all we do within
and remembering that's why
[whispering] we should never give in
do you really wanna give this all away?
can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
such a beautiful thing to throw away
you should think things through
over and over again
all over again
There's no giving up now!
