MEET THE FOES

GRITTY GRACEFULNESS; THE FOES ARE A TROUPE OF ECLECTIC MUSICIANS FROM ASBURY PARK, NJ SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, AND UPSIDE DOWN. MARRYING DRUMS, BASS, GUITAR, TUBA, UKULELE, SAX, TRUMPET, TROMBONE, AND OTHER WANDERING MINSTRELS, THE FOES CARVE OUT A SEGMENT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY LIKE A VOLUMINOUS, AWESOME BOULDER.


THE FOES ARE FRIENDS AND THEY LIKE IT THAT WAY. IN ONE SWAYING UNIT, THEY THROW CAUTION AND ATTENTION TO THE WIND ALL AT ONCE. THE TEAM HAS CRAFTED A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING, WITH RECORDINGS COMPLEX IN INSTRUMENTATION THAT REQUIRE MULTIPLE LISTENS TO CATCH EVERY NUANCE. UNDER THE AUDIO-GUISE OF MISFIT TOYS, THEY ARE THE IGNITION OF ENERGY, THEORY, COMPOSITION, RULE-BREAKING, AND FRIEND MAKING.

Ghosts (Girl in All My Songs) by The Foes of Fern

From the Debut album "Carpe Diem" by The Foes of Fern out now! Directed by Rob Ciano https://vydia.lnk.to/CarpeDiem www.thefoesoffern.com https://www.instagram.com/thefoesoffern https://www.facebook.com/TheFoesOfFERN LYRICS Written by Matthew Fernicola I know that every man in this room They can remember seventeen Oh lets walk into a daydream Well there were classroom fantasies And the girls that were our queens Well I too was young And I fell for love The way most adolescents do She wanted to see the country So I filler her mind with scenes Of mountaintops and city shops and everything in-between So I made that girl hate me I forgot her birthday Showed up a day late Sang her least favorite song Because she wanted a family And I needed the big screen So I did the right thing And told her to move on But these days I’m thinking of The girl in all my songs I know that everyone has their ghosts They follow us where we go We watch them on our tv shows And they’re singing on the radio I met mine on a Monday And I was hers by a Tuesday But the weekend was something we never knew Cuz she was walking her way And I was walking my way I don’t think this could have ever changed So I made that girl hate me I forgot her birthday Showed up a day late Sang her least favorite song Because she wanted a family And I needed the big screen So I did the right thing And told her to move on Yeah that’s just what she did She found a new man Stuck with her old plans And now their kids are growing up Well I think I’d like to meet them But I don’t know if I can Build up my courage And look her in the eyes And see some other life That could have been Mine But these days I’m thinking of The girl in all my songs Looking for other great Asbury bands?
