“Yesterday she was just a little girl pretending to be queen. He didn't know it would change his world, he didn't know what it would mean. Which mask will you wear today? How about the one with the beautiful smile? For you, it's just another day in a life you haven't lived in a while. Everyone knows your name, but they don't know who you are. But for them it's just a game and I think it's gone too far." In these lyrics from Lifehouse's "Just Another Name", viewers can easily see the heart of Lifehouse. From 1999 to the present, Lifehouse has changed band members, genre and sound; However, Lifehouse has always remained faithful to meaningful lyrics, whether they are stories of fictional songs invented by Jason Wade, singer and songwriter, or events that Lifehouse has gone through. They are one of my favorite bands and I'm thrilled to have the chance to write about them and their success. My rock band, Lifehouse, plays alternative rock rooted in grunge and Christian music. From the beginning, Lifehouse has always been unique. They didn't start out as what we know them as today, Lifehouse, but they started out as a Christian band called Blyss. However, in 2000, the band changed their genre to alternative rock. Then, they started working with a major record label and finally recorded their first official Lifehouse album called No Name Face (Leahey). One of the album's standout tracks was "Hanging by a Moment". “Hanging by a Moment” was the most played radio track of 2001” (Leahey). In 2002, Lifehouse released Stanley Climbfall and in 2005 they released Lifehouse. By that time, the members had changed immensely and Wade was the only founding member who remained. Their... paper center... is, and even if some people don't like the band and their style, Lifehouse should be respected because they follow the rhythm of a different drummer and are not “just” another name” in the history of music.
