Finger Eleven is an alternative rock band that has earned a devoted following. Their first album, Letters From Chutney, was recorded under the name Rainbow Butt Monkeys, with money won from a rock band search contest on local radio. They changed their name to Finger Eleven for their breakthrough Tip, released on Mercury Records in Canada and re-released by Wind-Up Records in the United States in 1998. The name Finger Eleven comes from an earlier version of the song Thin Spirits from the album Tip. Lead singer, Scott Anderson explains: "when everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another--that’s finger eleven." A year later, drummer Rob Gommerman left the band and was replaced by Rich Beddoe.

Inside Im gone
You knew that all along
Without the distance you never get away
Plastic bag image
Is over now its over now
The color fading is all the way to grey
We are strong but were dumb
We look above
Trusting the instinct
Is not about what you think
The one reaction is only to obey
And Im staring
All around not far down
Judge the distance from the ground and pray
We are strong but were dumb
We look above
