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.

Never tell your friends
They’ll never understand
Confessions only burn themselves in the fire
Choke on every word
That no one’s ever heard
Your sentimental thoughts are strangled and tired
See it in another light
You’ll see it working out alright
I know I won’t change any mind
As long as they’re still changing mine
As simple as they can
They’re telling you again
What they think you’ve done is so unbecoming
But you don’t have to take
Every old mistake
And always see it as a fall while you’re running
Saw it in other light
I saw it work out alright
I know I won’t change your mind
As long as they’re changing mine
