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.

So cold that you cannot cope
With a frozen heart
I guess we blow apart
I guessed it from the start Stay in shadow
I’ll run this world out
Stay in shadow
It’s running out of time
Stay in shadow
I want to watch it drown
Stay in this now
Don’t say because you can’t
Say what we should have been
Don’t show what I resent
Don’t know cause I forget
So cruel to be so blind
Darkness was on my side
Now that you’ve come and gone
I know where I belong
Light is leaving as I watch you go
Light is leaving inside of my soul
