Floater
Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age, the vitreous is transparent, but as one ages, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia, or less commonly as myodaeopsia, myiodeopsia, myiodesopsia. They are also called Muscae volitantes (Latin: "flying flies"), or mouches volantes (from the French). Floaters are visible because of the shadows they cast on the retina or refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one's visual field. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before the observer's eyes. As these objects exist within the eye itself, they are not optical illusions but are entoptic phenomena.
Floater (band)
Floater is an American rock band currently based in Portland, Oregon. The band was started in 1993 by Robert Wynia, Peter Cornett and David Amador. They are known for their progressive concept albums, stylized storytelling, intense live performances, and devoted fanbase. Floater routinely sells out local venues in Oregon and periodically plays shows in the neighboring states of Washington, California, Nevada, and Idaho. Floater has played a variety of venues, including CBGB in New York and the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. The band was also a musical guest for Live Wire Radio on OPB radio. The band has been voted the "Best Band" in the Willamette Week's "Best of Portland" reader's poll for 2009 and 2010.
History
Seminal years in Eugene: Sink & Glyph (1993-1997)
The seeds for Floater were placed when Peter Cornett moved to Eugene, Oregon and answered a musician-wanted ad placed by Robert Wynia. By 1992, they had created Henry's Child. When their guitarist got drunk and ruined a local gig, Dave Amador stepped in to replace him. The moniker of Henry's Child was quickly shed and Floater was born. It was 1993 and the new trio recorded a four-song demo and began playing small garage parties and eventually at the University of Oregon. Later, Floater recorded a nine-song demo which impressed the indie record label Elemental, who signed them soon after. Floater's first full-length album, Sink, was released in 1994 and contained some songs from the demos. One year later, a second full-length album was released, Glyph, which increased the band's popularity in the Pacific Northwest and allowed tours further east, into Arizona, Utah and Texas.

by: Every Time I DieTo my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well
I'll be leaving and you can't stop me
We've been carrying on too long
We've been carrying on too long, I'm sorry, but I'm gone
I've got a bad reputation to think about
I've been dirty
I've been wrong
Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up
I'm stepping out to clear my head
I'm breathing in to fill my lungs
We're all dead, we're all dead
Farewell scenic highway overpass
It's better this way anyways
My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride
My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride
But I left my heart at the side of her bed
And she's got the warmest body that I've never had
Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love
Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love
Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love
Bring the children to the water
And let them see what heartache did
This matrimony needs a witness
And you can teach them to swim
And you can teach them to swim
And you can teach them all to swim
Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men
Drown us at birth, save her some time
Drifting on romantic holiday
Breathless as her cold arms cover me
Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love
