Astaire may refer to:
Blondfire is an American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California, United States. Lead singer Erica Driscoll is the sole full-time member.
Erica Driscoll was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States to an American father and a Brazilian mother. She spent many summers in northern Brazil, and is a citizen of both countries. Erica and her brother and founding member Bruce Driscoll cite Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, and Astrud Gilberto as musicians that they listened to often while growing up. In high school, Erica, Bruce, and their older sister Monica formed the band Nectar and eschewed classes to tour nationally.
Erica and Bruce formed Astaire and toured locally behind songs recorded in the basement of their parents' home. During this time, the siblings were featured in many music and fashion publications, such as z!nk, America, YRB, College Music Journal, and Entertainment Weekly. The Driscolls relocated to New York City and recorded "Weightless" with Ivy's Andy Chase. They released their first EP, Don't Whisper Lies, on their own record label, Wax Divine.
Everybody holds the future
Everybody holds the world
Do you ever wonder, baby?
What this is all about
Do you ever question, girl?
The things you tend to doubt
Well, there's no reply
It's better off to die
When you're feeling all alone
Do you hear the answer baby
When you're sitting on the throne
Everybody holds the future
Everybody holds the world
You got a penny in your pocket, baby
A penny in your mind
You hope someone will stop it, girl
You hope to avoid the crime
Well, you've never been so lonely, baby
You've never been so blue
You can't afford the doctor, girl
So what you gonna do
Do you feel the lonesome anger, baby
When you're feeling all alone, yeah!
Do you feel the lonesome anger, baby
She said, baby, that's something I've always known
She said, baby, that's something you ought to know
Everybody holds the future
