Probably one of the few rock songs about reading a book!

Artist picture
Loud, hard, heavy alternative rock with a side order of melody. Pulse-pounding rhythms, high-energy performance, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their energ
FISHKILL is a three-piece band that plays hard rock with an alternative style, featuring energetic songs that are fun to listen to and may make you think if you listen carefully. It's heavy guitar-based rock, although it has been classified as punk and 80's new wave rock. Singer/Songwriter Chris Nelson's vocal style has been compared to Joey Ramone (The Ramones), Mike Love (The Beach Boys), and Ray Davies (The Kinks). Bassist Jack Hawk and Drummer Mike Williams each add to the unique blend of styles, turning it into music that's built to last. The dynamic force they create while playng carries the audience into the excitement of the performance. In actuality Fishkill strives to define its own category within the musical framework of rock. The basic goal is to give the listener a good time, like a band playing at this great party or concert you were at that you'll never forget. It's all about fun, pure and simple and everything else is window dressing. Fishkill is a featured artist on WSVN's Hall Of Fame Volume 9, A WSVN Radio Christmas CD, and is now available on the Rhapsody/Real Jukebox and BuyMusic.com online digital music services.

Story behind the song
I had the music for this song long before the lyrics. It just happened that it was appropriate to talk about reading for this song--it just fits! Hopefully, I will be able to contribute this song to some sort of literacy campaign since I feel its really important to promote reading. There's a lot of crap out there that feeds off of the imagination rather than feeding it. Books make a good antidote to this cultural poison.
Lyrics
A Change of Atmosphere Copyright 2003 Chris Nelson (BMI) Between the pages of a book Turn the pages, have a look Wondrous words abound Traveling swift without a sound Look at it closely, it takes hold Anticipating the story’s fold Way outside the local border Fantasy is the standing order I’m not here; I’m somewhere else Another world upon a shelf Not concerned with this time of year Refreshed at last with a change of atmosphere I don’t want to be awake I don’t care what trouble’s make Leave me here shielded in fiction Safe from harm and life’s affliction I’m not here; I’m somewhere else Another world upon a shelf Not concerned with this time of year Refreshed at last with a change of atmosphere
