YFriday
YFriday were a British Christian rock and worship band from Newcastle upon Tyne. From their beginning in 1994 until they split in 2010, they gained popularity amongst Christian music fans around the world, particularly in the United Kingdom. In 2010, YFriday announced that they were commencing their final months before disbanding later in the same year, after releasing a number of successful albums.
History
The group was formed in 1994, originally as the house band for a monthly evangelistic outreach event run by Youth for Christ called WhyFriday?. The WhyFriday? outreach programme initially had a regular attendance of about 50–60 young people, but this steadily grew and the programme, now called IXth Hour, is currently held in the Newcastle City Hall, and has around 800 attendees each month. The band still played there regularly until 2010.
Following the 1999 release of the Rainmaker album, the band were approached by Kingsway with an offer of a 3-year recording contract. Bassist Danny Smith joined the band in 2001, in time for the Open album. It was at this time that the band members made the decision to leave their jobs to work together full-time,. They also released an EP.

Our Yesterdays
by: Euphoria AudioSleepless night, tonight
With the view of our world in sight
And all the stars ignite the sky
That’s ours, and when we
Sleep at night
My dreams of you are sky high
With you here next to me is where you’re suppose to be
There’ll be no more sleepless nights
The candles burning bright and I can see it in your eyes,
Don’t turn away from me because I wanna watch you sleep tonight
Maybe tomorrow we can start over again
And lay to rest our yesterdays
Sleepless night, tonight
No passing meteorite could ever smash our life
Crashing down until the end, you’ll keep me warm forever my friend
Crushed by the rubble that’s made me so strong
