Cauterize - One Of My Favorites, Broken Up


I have to say that Cauterize is one of my favorite rock bands. Their songs are always fantastic, and their lyrics are so powerful - a huge plus for me. Personally, a song can have the most amazing melody, but if the lyrics suck... I just won't like the song. Cauterize always has strong lyrics, and when paired with their amazing talents with instruments and vocals, it just gives you an all-around great group to listen to.
This may be old news by now, but I only recently learned the Cauterize had broken up as a band. This was extremelly upsetting news for me, as I enjoy their music so much. After hearing this, I decided to make an almost commemorative post on music.is.life for this group.

Most of my favorite Cauterize songs are from their first album, So Far From Real (cover art above left), but some tracks from their newer albums have caught my attention too. My current favorite Cauterize songs include...

From So Far From Real (2003); Choke, Killing Me, I'll Cry Tomorrow, Taste Of Tears
From Paper Wings (2005): Closer, Paper Wings, Porcelain

A lot of Cauterize's other songs are amazing too, along with all of their lyrics... but for time's sake I will not list them all!
I encourage you to check out this band if you like a good rock sound paired with beautiful lyrics. To give you a taste, I'll post the music video for Choke, which is probably my favorite Cauterize song of them all.

Cauterize - Choke Music Video



Choke
Cauterize

There's nothing that I can say
To make you want to stay here with me forever
There's nothing that I can do
To make you want me like I need you to
I need you to

Just give me one last chance to say this
Just give me one last chance to say what's on my mind
And I will get it right

If I could only get my head above the water for a moment (a moment of your time)
But you seem so strong and I can't hold my breath for long
Have you ever tried to scream under water?
You'll choke

You said I always sang too loud
To sing you a love song
Well I save my soft voice for the things I really mean
You always said I had a hard time
Saying what's on my mind
Well, here it goes, I hate you
For what you've done to me

Just give me one last chance to say this
Just give me one last chance to say what's on my mind
And I will get it right

If I could only get my head above the water for a moment (a moment of your time)
But you seem so strong and I can't hold my breath for long
Have you ever tried to scream under water?
You'll choke

When the last word's been said
And the last tear's been shed
I will miss you, miss you, my friend
And I can't tell you lies
Even after all these years
I still cry


If you liked that, I encourage you to check out more Cauterize lyrics and to do your own listening to music by this awesome group. Cauterize fans new and old can appreciate the music they did put out before the end of their relatively short-lived career.
Goodbye, boys - new Cauterize music will be dearly missed.

Well if you two were behind on the news of the breakup I was even further behind, anyone know the reasoning behind it? This is a huge loss of in my opinion one of the bands who were on their way to evolving into somthing spectacular.
