Halfway to Gone is an American heavy metal band from New Jersey. The band formed in 1999 when bassist and founding member of Solarized, Lou Gorra got together with Lee Stuart (Solarized's touring guitarist), and drummer Danny Gollin. Chuck Dukehart from Sixty Watt Shaman played drums in the band for a year before being replaced by Kenny Wagner, also of Sixty Watt Shaman & Honky, who toured with them and played on "Second Season". The band did U.S. tours & played shows with Clutch, Nashville Pussy, Nebula, CKY, Suplecs, and many others. The band's style has been described as a mixture of Stoner rock, Southern rock and Heavy metal, inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath, among others. They released an album with Alabama Thunderpussy in 2000 and their own debut early the next year. They have released two more albums since. They went on extended hiatus in 2004 but are rumored to be doing another album in 2012 with original line up of Stu, Danny, & Lou on Smallstone Records.
Last night I had to admit I'm going to miss you and all these years gone by, now there's something missing here. I think it's you oh it's so you with the light left in the sky brought memories of you. With a hook in the butterfly's wing the beauty fades and life just passed me by and all these memories of you. It's like the butterfly we tried and we tried to stay awake in the lifeless dark but it's too hard. Mend these broken wings can't fly; Mend these broken wings can't fly. I think it's you oh it's so you with the light left in the sky brought memories of you.
