Introducing new (actually not) comers...
Budapest
Hailing from the small Oxford town of Leamington Spa, the English post-grunge quintet
Budapest came together in 1999.
Tagging themselves after the Hungarian capitol,
John Garrison (vocals/guitar),
Adrian Kelley (bass),
Mark Walworth (guitar),
Paul Possart (drums), and
Chris Pemberton (piano)
aimed for heavy melodies and cinematic soundscapes, and within three years Budapest was
in the studio making a debut album.
Too Blind to Hear captured Garrison's lush lyrical imagery and a solid performance from
the band itself; however, a tragic event would overshadow the newly recorded material.
Budapest was completely disillusioned when founding guitarist Walworth committed suicide
a week after completing Too Blind to Hear. In tribute to him, the remaining members
trudged on with their debut, releasing it on Easy Street Music.
Matt Parker eventually joined the group as its lead guitarist, giving Budapest the
motivation to keep things going.
The British press praised Budapest's heartfelt songs, and a tour of Canada followed in
2001. Two years later, Republic/Universal offered Budapest an American deal; Too Blind
to Hear appeared stateside in March 2003. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide.

Here's the steps...
[ intro ]
(1)
Is this the best it gets,
Before I'm laid to rest?
When I am through the gates,
With old acquaintances,
embroidering the truth.
Will stories be from pre-today
or from an archive yet to make?
(2)
Is this the best it gets?
How do I know?
The best that it gets?
How do I know?
(1)
Disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view,
We've all a story to sell,
We've all a lie that we tell,
And it goes on and on, and on and on.
(1)
Is this the best it gets?
Could be surprises yet.
When I become the subject of ancestors,
Faded photograph, no name,
A beacon or a burden,
Guiding light, helpful or plain insane.
(2)
Is this the best it gets?
How do I know?
The best that it gets?
How do I know?
(1)
Disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view,
We've all a story to sell,
We've all a lie that we tell,
And it goes on and on, and on and on..
Oh, disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view,
We've all a story to sell,
We've all a lie that we tell,
And it goes on and on, and on and on and on and...
(Disappointed, disillusioned),
and on, and on, and on,
(Disappointed, disillusioned),
and on.
Is this the best it gets?
