Backstory:
Fitting Information was born out of a college dorm room in 1998 when roommates and music enthusiasts, Dave Kingsley and Ben Rothman, started jamming together on lazy afternoons. Kingsley, a software engineer, and Rothman, a film major, found a unique synergy that birthed an unanticipated yet captivating sound. Frustrated with the mainstream music scene’s lack of originality and depth, they decided to create music that would challenge the status quo and captivate the hearts of listeners. Their passion led them, along with bassist Jenny Miller and drummer Pete Evans, whom they met at a local open-mic night, to form the band we now know as Fitting Information.
Genre:
Fitting Information is best described as a Fusion Rock band with influences ranging from Progressive Rock to Electronic Dance Music.
Title:
One of their unique songs is “Binary Love.”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C Am F G
In a world of zeroes and ones, you’re the only ten I see,
Am Dm G C
Caught in a web we spun, entwined in a digital sea.
F C Dm G
Your heart beats like a rhythmic code, syncing up with me,
Am F Dm G
In the binary of our love, you are my key.
(Chorus)
Am G F C
Binary Love, you’re my coded dream,
Dm G C Am
In the data stream, we’re a perfect team.
F G C Am
Binary Love, in the digital haze,
Dm G C F
In the hardware maze, you’re my software craze.
(Verse 2)
C Am F G
Pixels light up when you’re near, the motherboard hums your song,
Am Dm G C
In the syntax of your touch, no semicolon feels wrong.
F C Dm G
Binary Love, we’re a coded pair,
Am F Dm G
In the silicon air, no firewall can compare.
(Chorus)
Am G F C
Binary Love, you’re my coded dream,
Dm G C Am
In the data stream, we’re a perfect team.
F G C Am
Binary Love, in the digital haze,
Dm G C F
In the hardware maze, you’re my software craze.
