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.

First Time Lyrics

Finger Eleven

I had never thought
We were hanging on
But the fall looks very far
Staring at the ground
What flesh will do to you
Will do to me too
Be free and on your own
Its not that simple
Its never that simple
It feels like the first time
That wed fallen behind
And we faltered too far down
No one could save us
It feels like the first time
And were standing about them
And no one can touch us
The worst is over
I could say to you
A bitter word or two
Theres no stopping now
Just get it out in the air
Heard it through the fog
And hurt by it all
Id take it back today
But its out of my hands
Lost in the film again
All the signs were showing
Watching a single frame
When the wind begins
Youre never anywhere
cause youre caught in my
Weather every time
Feels like the first time
Wed fallen behind
No use is the other one to wait
But I can hold on
As sure as Im strong
Get over the faithful yesterdays
