   About THE FLING
The SoCal foursome blends together a unique mix of folk, pop, and psychedelic rock to create a sound that is both familiar and new...Constantly experimenting with multi-layered harmonies, arrangement and instruments, the result is always interesting."

-Filter Magazine

Big songs that sound simple (but aren’t once you look into the light shining through the cracks)—this was a thing that both the Band and Paul McCartney loved, and now Long Beach’s The Fling are making their own sad-happy song-stories with percussively strummed guitar and little curls of melody from lap steel and Wurlitzer. Recent 45 Out Of My Head has Lennon/Chilton-Bell/Blake-McGinley-Love (that last one is Teenage Fanclub—it’s OK to look it up!) twists and switchbacks at the end of each measure. Hopefully, this month’s Detroit residency hints at a full-length...

POEM OF LIGHT

Beyond your eyes exists a world
That all can learn to see
Within this world exists for us
Infinite possibility

Many are lost in darkness
And cannot find their way
Because they choose to believe the lies
They hear from day to day

The future's yours the future's yours,
If you open your mind
Discover what you do not know
And greater truth you'll find

You and me and everyone are all beings of light
We can all live in harmony,
If we increase our sight,
Open your heart open your mind,
And see your path anew
The greatest joy in life will come
From Loving Being You!

Love all of life's Creations
Take time and you will grow
To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know
Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure
Come know yourself,
The universe,
And So Much, So Much More...

GLAD TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING DAY. STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE TODAY, YOU'LL FEEL AMAZING AND REAP GREAT BLESSINGS!
