Faunts
Faunts are an electronic rock band from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
History
Faunts was formed in the fall of 2000 by brothers Steve and Tim Batke. Faunts are released on Friendly Fire Recordings. In 2005, their debut album High Expectations/Low Results was well received. In 2006, a 40-minute EP entitled M4 was released that grew out of music crafted to accompany short films for the Film and Video Arts Society. One of the tracks from the album M4, "M4, Pt. II", was featured during the final credits of BioWare's 2007 RPG, Mass Effect. This raised the band's profile and "a sizeable new audience was exposed to Faunts’ moody, subdued melodies". On November 18, 2008, they released a remix album titled Faunts Remixed, featuring remixes by acts such as Mark Templeton and DVAS. This was followed by their second full studio album, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of, which was released on February 17, 2009 and is the result of songwriting over the course of touring across America. The song "Das Malefitz" was featured during the final credits of Mass Effect 3. On November 17, 2012 the band released "Left Here Alone", described by a press release as "an offering of a handful of unreleased yet essential songs that fill in the empty spaces between High Expectations/Low Results and M4 in Faunts' evolutionary map. Listening to this record is like travelling through the band's back catalogue." On February 12, 2016 Faunts announced the upcoming release of Ostalgia, "a five-volume compilation of new music" that will be released beginning in 2016. According to the band's label, Kinsella Recordings, Volume 1 will be a five-part song titled "Thirty-Three", the sound of which hearkens back to the band's early work while exploring new musical territory.

Will You Tell Me Then
by: FauntsIt's time to leave this place where I'm gonna head
It's time to live the most, doubt I hate I'm dead
And then each spread and kills himself a gift
But he loves the shame
It's killing me to see you die inside
It's killing time to care if I'm the one
And then the spanner finds you can't unwind
Better fuse this pain
Will you tell me then
What's wrong in our life
Well try to take it out
But not with your life
Know if you're right
The fear takes over when it knows you're down
Fear will follow you into the ground
It's screaming where my meaning is to these left
And the tired feet
Well every fear will not be all okay
Every fear will die to love or hate
The brilliant minds won't save our soul
Until I help them take, take you home
Will you tell me then
What's wrong in our life
Well try to take it out
But not with your life
