This is a story, an attempt to shed some light on the reason behind While You Were Gone. We often need reasons as people to explain the existence of any
one thing. These are our reasons for being. Thank you for reading this and wondering why.
First, While You Were Gone is a family. Dysfunctional as most, we are constantly reminded of the effort it takes to keep a family together. There have been times over the past few years that interventions have been arranged in efforts to prevent a member from going astray. We lack much, we fight often, and we’re rarely satisfied with the work we produce as a band. And yet, we are compelled to exist in this world of music that we have come to love and desire and need. Ultimately, we have been led to this place of uncertainty. As we prepare for the release of our new EP, we again find ourselves filled with doubt and scared we will never make a difference. Is it ok if nobody likes our songs? Are we a failure if we never sell a single T-shirt? Likely. But we are no strangers to failure. And we’re not scared. Finally, we would like to make a promise. We promise to be passionate and true. We recognize an urgent need for realism in music today and will do our best to create that. This is the reason we continue to be a band. When this is all over, we would like to say we have done something real. Because who could ever be happy with anything else?
