Forget it all
The endless noise of modern life
It’s not what I want 
It pulls me in like a bad trip

And if I’m honest 
I didn’t know I was keeping us 
From deeper love
It’s not something they warn you of 

I was just too scared 
To let myself fall in love again 
But I didn’t know it then 

‘Cause my heart was born in the lonely 
American dark, a forest so endless 
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold 
Oh but I didn’t know
I didn’t know

When you arrive
Gonna throw my arms around you
I might just cry 
Something’s changed in me I swear 

I’m ready now 
For whatever comes 
I don’t need to know
We can work it out 
I promise to be strong when we get there 

I was just too scared 
To let myself fall in love again 
But I didn’t know it then 

‘Cause my heart was born in the lonely 
American dark, a forest so endless 
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold 
Oh but I didn’t know 
I didn’t know

ROCKSTAR

Los Angeles, California serves as home base for the concept group called Vitamin String Quartet. The group is made up of studio musicians who are brought together to interpret and record orchestra style covers of music from all types of genres ranging metal, techno, country, pop, rock and hip-hop dance music. While the quartet uses a wide assortment of artists and instruments, one fairly constant member of the group is violinist Tom Tally. Tally has been intimately involved in the composing, arranging and conduction of many songs on approximately 50 of the albums that have been recorded by the group. While the group is referred to as a string quartet, the reality is that more individuals are usually involved, using instruments such as violins, cellos, percussion, brass and woodwinds. The group was originally brought together in 1999 as an experimental project. They wanted to determine the effects of using classical style instruments to create new and different sounds on popular recordings. Early on, the FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH would play the group's music 24 hours a day, every day, for a period of time. The popularity of the group's music has led to the music being featured on TV and in the movies. Credits include So You Think You Can Dance (2008), TV show The Vampire Diaries (2010), the 100th episode of Gossip Girl and the fifth season finale of Modern Family (2014). Throughout the years, the group has been involved in the recording of over 200 different albums. In 2009, the group stepped out of the box a bit and recorded some original material provided by some of the various musicians on the album Per_Versions.
