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.

Wait if everythings going great
Can you remember a day to tell?
If someone should wish you well
Then theres a narrow chance
All I want from you my dear friend
I dont even want
I could show you how
And you say youve got that feeling again
It wont be long enough
But it may never end I know
Wait I thought I had something to say
I will remember someday
Fate found you buckling under the weight
And you thought you would last
All I got from you my dear friend
I dont ever want
Follow your answers
But you look so bitter
Who are you?
Are you famous?
Important?
Dont stop that glitter
All I wanted from you
Is all forgotten for you
