Biography

Formed in 2000 by four Starbucks employees in Mesquite, TX, The Afters are an alternative CCM rock outfit originally known as Blisse. Under their original moniker, members Marc Dodd (drums), Matt Fuqua (guitar and vocals), Josh Havens (vocals and guitar), and Brad Wigg (bass and vocals) released an EP and an album (2001's When the World Is Wonderful) before finding out that there was another Blisse out there, and subsequently changed their name to The Afters. After making a name for themselves in the Dallas music scene, The Afters scored a deal with Epic and released their major-label debut in 2005, entitled I Wish We All Could Win. The album was a hit on the Christian charts, making it to the Top 25. In 2006, the band went back into the studio to record its follow-up, Never Going Back to OK, which was slated for release in February of 2008. ~ Chris True, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Far away, I feel your beating heart
    All alone, beneath the crystal stars
    and staring into space, what a lonely face
    I'll try to find my place with you

    Lyrics
    Look outside, it's already light
    And the stars ran away with the night
    Things were said, words that we'll try forget
    It's so hard to admit
    I know we made mistakes

    Lyrics
    When I'm feeling all alone
    With so far to go
    The signs that know we're on this road
    Are guiding me home

    Lyrics
    It's not the end but it feels like it is
    I'm waking up like I'm back from the dead
    I'm stepping out and it feels so free
    But as long as I'm moving it's alright
    I feel alive and it hurts for a change

    Before my life with you
    So much was missing here
    I never even knew
    I still picture the place we were
