A mediados de la década de 2000, en el corazón de Nashville, Tennessee, nació una banda que vería resonar su nombre en los oídos de millones de personas: Red. Con una potente mezcla de rock alternativo y metal cristiano, Red emergió como una fuerza innegable dentro del panorama musical contemporáneo. La banda originalmente fue fundada por los hermanos Anthony y Randy Armstrong, quienes, junto con su amigo de la infancia Michael Barnes, daban los primeros acordes a lo que sería una carrera musical vertiginosa.
En 2006, Red lanzó su álbum debut, End of Silence. Este álbum fue un reflejo de las luchas personales y la redención, abordando temas profundos y emocionales. Las guitarras estridentes, combinadas con letras introspectivas y desesperadas, lograron capturar la atención de una audiencia que buscaba algo más que simples melodías. Temas como "Breathe Into Me" y "Already Over" no solo se convirtieron en éxitos radiales, sino que además cimentaron la identidad sonora de la banda.
End of Silence no solo fue un éxito comercial (alcanzando disco de platino), sino que también recibió reconocimiento crítico y varias nominaciones y premios. La banda fue nominada para un Grammy en la categoría de Best Rock Gospel Album, una prueba de su impacto en tan poco tiempo. Su habilidad para mezclar influencias del rock, metal y música cristiana les permitió destacar en un mercado saturado.
Bear paws and rascal power
Watching us in your garage
Big girl you ate the neighbor
The nova is over
Wake up and play
Balleradio
Make room for Clara's bare feet
The love of a Martian
Tick tock and waiting for the meteor
This clock is opening another door
Lots of love just keep it comin'
Making something out of nothin'
'' These are the best that I''
I don't know how to say
Losin' what I love today
'' These are the best that I''
Lots of love just keep it comin'
Making something out of nothin'
'' These are the best that I''
I don't know what to say
Look at what I lost today
'' These are the things that I''
Blood flowers in the kitchen
Signing off and winding down
This Martian ends her mission
The nova is over
She caught the ball
By the mission bell
Chase lizards, bark at donkeys
The love of a Martian
Let's bow our heads
And let the trumpets blow
Our girl is gone
God bless her little soul
Lots of love just keep it comin'
Making something out of nothin'
'' These are the best that I''
I don't know how to say
Losin' what I love today
'' These are the best that I''
Lots of love just keep it comin'
Making something out of nothin'
'' These are the best that I''
I don't know what to say
Look at what I lost today
'' These are the things that I''
She's got sword in case
Though this is not her lord in case
The one who can't afford to face her image is restored to grace
Disappeared, no trace
Musky tears
Suitcase
The down turn brave little burncub
Bearcareless turnip snare rampages
Pitch color pages
Down and out but not in Vegas
Disembarks and disengages
No loft
Sweet pink canary cages plummet
Pop dew skin fortitude for the sniffing black noses
That snort and allude to dangling trinkets
That mimic the dirt cough go drink its
It's for you
Blue battered naval town slip kisses
Delivered by duck muscles and bottlenosed grifters
Arrive in time to catch the late show
It's a beehive barrel race
A she-hive stare and chase
Wasted feature who tried and failed to reach her
Embossed beneath a box in the closet that's lost
The kind that you find when you mind your own business
Shiv sister to the quickness before it blisters
Into the new morning milk blanket
Your ilk is funny to the turnstyle touch bunny
Whose bouquet set a course for bloom without decay
Get your broom and sweep the echoes of yesternights fallen freckles away
