Arrah and the Ferns formed in 2005 in Muncie, Indiana. After releasing their first album in 2006, three of its members (Carl Stovner, Dave Segedy, and Joey Patrick) left the band in May, 2008.
Arrah and the Ferns reformed with a new lineup and are currently based in Philadelphia. They meld many sounds of folk, country, blues, indie- rock, and pop. Their sound is not easily defined as their direction and members have changed a number of times. So far Arrah and the Ferns have released three full-length albums and an EP.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
G If you want I'll send you a postcard D To let you know I'm here C I'll be sure to fill it with imagery Cadd9 And I'll be sure to be sincere G Cause I don't want to be your burden D I don't want you to worry for me C Just know it will better now Cadd9 It will be better we all will agree G When I don't have to be so many things D When I don't have to be a son C You won't have to waste your empathy Cadd9 You can do whatever you want
GDCCadd9 (oo la la la la oo la la...)x3
G You can try if you want you can build me a house D But don't cry when I go when you knew that I would CCadd9 It's out of your hands, I'm trying to leave, let me go
I'll write you one last letter I'll tie it to a string I'll hang it from a lantern For you to find in New Orleans When you go to meet your Maker When you go to cut your ties When you go to drown in the water That springs eternal life But don't you know that you are living You are living inside a lie When you know it could be better here It could be better if you'd just try So mark my words and syntax When you read my final note I want you to know the consequence When you leave this world alone
(oo la la la la oo la la...)
I won't try anymore; I won't build you a house Won't cry when you leave; I know that your weak I did all that I could, you know I tried to give you a reason So you can die if you want you can do what you please But remember the ones that have to burry the seeds Just know when you go, you place death upon every life
