The Exies
The Exies are an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1997. Their name, "The Exies", is short for "The Existentialists". Their two Virgin Records releases, Inertia (2003) and Head for the Door (2004), have sold over 400,000 copies combined.
History
The Exies formed in 1997 when singer and guitarist Scott Stevens drafted bassist Freddy Herrera and drummer Thom Sullivan to form a new group. Stevens' friend Chris Skane played guitar in an early incarnation of The Exies, but left citing other priorities. Skane was then replaced by guitarist David Walsh.
Stevens picked the name "The Exies" from a John Lennon biography, stating on Rockline (11/9/2002) that it was the only Beatles-related name left that was not taken. When the Beatles were touring around Hamburg, Germany in the 1960s, they encountered three distinct social groups among the kids: the mods, the rockers, and the art students (who referred to themselves as "the existentialists"). John Lennon coined the term "the exies" to refer to the art students.

On The Brighter Side
by: The ExiesOh, Camille are you just as bored as me
Living down a fantasy, we're coping out
Well gotta gotta give gotta give it away
In emergency, how beautiful to be here
To be here when it's time to go
So, I'll make, I'll make you, I'm never gonna break the line
It comes as no surprise
That I do this to myself living on the bitterside
And never knowing why
It comes as no surprise that I bring this on myself
Living down a fantasy on the brighter side
Oh, Camille are you just as high as me
Stoned and glued to this old chair...come and see
Well I just had the strangest sick daydream
A revelation how becoming to see it to see it
Made me wanna cower down
So roll away, roll away from the hurt inside
I'm cleared for a taxi run through I'm still breaking down
Could you ever baptize me cause I'm still fumbling around
And at times it seems I'm missing something I once had
And I don't know don't know what it was that I had
