Vedera
Vedera (formerly Veda) was a rock band from Kansas City, Missouri.
History
The band members all grew up the Kansas City suburb of Blue Springs. Kristen May was born into a musical family and her mother introduced her to the work of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Jim Croce. When May was 17, her father, a drummer, gave her a guitar and she began writing her own songs.
Meanwhile, Brian Little's father gave his son his first guitar at age 13 and Little played in bands throughout high school. Little loved classic guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Lindsey Buckingham, whom he cites as someone who "knows how to add melody to a song, but not take away from what the singer is trying to say."
May and Little knew each other in high school and began playing in a band together called, Red Authentic, after May returned home following an aborted stint at college in Nashville. "I didn't want to study music anymore, I just wanted to play it", she says.
In 2003, the band she had formed with her brothers needed a guitarist and they called on Little. However, with her brothers unable to travel and pursue the career musician life that May and Little craved, they asked Little's high-school friend Jason Douglas to join and also recruited Brian's younger brother Drew to play drums. The band was renamed "Veda".

It's All Happening On Broadway
by: VederaIf you lay me down in this mess will I remember your name
When you come back calling for me like you said you would?
Do I trust your breath will sustain you in all your long hours?
Do I love your weakness enough to see it as my strength?
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you?
I am no more flattered by your wandering eyes
Than I am by your softly broken lies
Oh, the air is thick with betrayal
We search for devotion and wind up settling for emotion
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you
Has failed you
Has failed you?
You don't make me want to dance with you
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Make me wanna run and find something true
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Wanna find something true
Something true
Someone like you
Something
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me?
And you come back
And you come back
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me?
And you come back
And you come back
