Chicago based Chevelle is comprise of brothers Sam (drummer
/ bandleader), Pete (vocals/guitar),and Joe (bass)
Loeffler. For four and a half years, Chevelle has been
steadily building momentum as one of the "Windy City's"
most promising young rock bands.
Sam, Pete and Joe seem to read one another's thoughts
onstage, seemingly via a sibling-inherent telepathy.The
trait is uncanny, yet somehow expected from three who have
spent their whole lives in such close quarters. While they
were habitually bashing away in their parents' basement
from the beginning, the band was also busy booking gigs.
Although they started out playing the obligatory party and
outdoor social event circuit, in short order Chevelle was
being booked in Chicago clubs such as the Fireside Bowl and More...
Review about Chevelle Great song, a little bit depressing | Reviewer: Lianso
------ About the song One Lonely Visitor performed by Chevelle
One of my favourite songs of Chevelle, in one of my favorite discs of them.
I think this song talks about when you lose the love of someone, a good friend, your loved girl or even a member of your family. You cry for being alone and sometimes show that feeling, but also you're so silly and proud and you don't want to accept that maybe it was your fool. You live with that feeling that hurts a lot inside of you but when you see the person you lost, you can't show her/him what you feel, so you act so natural like nothing happened and pretend that you don't care, but is all a lie...
That's only a way to understand it. Besides that, Nice song, nice acoustic guitar arpeggios, deep lyrics and a voice that makes you sad but also motivates.
Awesome | Reviewer: MIck
------ About the song Sleep Apnea performed by Chevelle
I love this song, and the entire Sci-Fi Crimes album in general, but does anybody notice that Pete doesn't say it correctly? He says "Sleep Ap-knee". I just seen them Sunday in concert and he says it live as well. Great show however
Very good song | Reviewer: Sparked Indignation
------ About the song To Return performed by Chevelle
Seems to be about someone who has had something horrible happen to them... and to return to the cold is to relive those harse memories, in the form of speaking up to tell people what happened. He is free because the weight of the past if off of his shoulders, and he can move forward now with it.
The feeling of hopelessness I get from this song makes it euphoric to listen to. The melodic instruments blend well with Pete's melodic vocals. Chevelle is truly a versatile and great band, listen to this song if you haven't heard it. Close your eyes and feel what I feel.
Baptism? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Closure performed by Chevelle
i always thought it was about a demon. and cleansing himself from the evils of life. i think the song revolves around a baptism. "breath, trust, bless me and release."- him entering the water. "your rebirth cant hurt".
"you will never belong to me"/ "like a leach, hold on as if we belonged"/ "go on confusing the soul, HOLD MY BREATH till you rupture". " three days aside"- reference to jesus christ. the song is about him renewing his soul and ridding himself of the demons that hold him down.

------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
I just want to clarify a few things: first, a rock band can still have religious themes to it, even if they're not "Christian Rock" or whatever - these themes can also be from any religion. A genre is simply used for categorization purposes. Some rock bands can rap, some rappers can rock... whatever. Second, lyrics are based on interpretation by the person reading the lyrics. However, in this case it truly has nothing to do with Christians being "singled out", mainly because even if Christians are singled out, they do not necessarily show anger, or "the red", and they don't lose control with it, i.e. "sight goes red again". That's why it doesn't apply to this context. It's a song about someone being repeatedly picked on
We barely remember, who or what came before this precious moment.
We are choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Alive....
In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Twirling 'round with this familiar parabol (((((((((-e-)))))))))))))))).
Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
chance to be alive and breathing,
a chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember; we are eternal,
all this pain is an illusion.

------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
Okay not this song is not christian, it was written for their mainstream audience, this does not give you the right to accuse them of being unchristian musicians just because there label handed them this song. They did like any other band they played it and just because it got big and they contenue to play it again does not make them unchristian, just because this is not a praise and worship song doesnt mean anything seriously who told you you could judge a person or bands faith, last i check that was gods job not yours........

------ About the song Jars performed by Chevelle
i gotta say, this is most likely my favorite song on the new album, followed closely by mexican sun. it's honestly been stuck in my head for the past week since i've got it. it's amazing to see how chevelle has grown as a band since point #1 and i'm soooooo excited to see what they bring us next. :)

------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
jonathon, you are by far the most retarded person to comment this song yet. Christians aren't the ones that are being singled out, they ARE the ones that single out. Bigotry, hypocrisy, and disgust are the things people like you are made of. You claim to be singled out by this song, yet you alienate those who are not your religion, and treat them like shit.
i dont think of it as a christian song. | Reviewer: joe shmo
------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
i may be christian but i dont think this song is a christian song. its about a guy that gets singled out and made fun of untill the red causes him to lose control. the lyrics i read said "what made it show? the truth he cant send to most" meaning that others wont understand why he goes out of control. i dont know thats how i see it
Christian?? Srsly?? | Reviewer: Anonymus =D

Something new, terrific sound Chevelle gets better and better with each album down to the most faint of notes. If your looking for a song to get you pumped in the morning look no futher "Sleep Apnea" is that song.
the meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
just because someone can make a christian song or right something that can be inturpreted as christian doesnt make them a christian band. and none of us no what the song really means unless we've asked. and christians are singled out. the group may be a large group, but we are still made fun of. so lets not argue
Well first of all, everyone has their own individual idea of what the song means TO THEMSELF.
But this song, to me, is about religion and how it leads us along.
People are so strong about their faith sometimes, that it becomes a drug to them it seems.
The song could have easily been named just "Leading Us Along".
I think the artist used the name "Vitamin R", to show how people sell religion like a vitamin.
Like a supplement that you don't NEED, but it makes life better,
"If you're a fly,
Achieved and gone,
There's time for this,
And so much more",
When in reality it's a drug that gets us addicted and leads us along..
It might not make sense, considering Chevelle is considered a christian band, but one of their greatest influences is the band Tool.
Tool, I don't believe, is christian at all.
Listen to their song "Opiate" and it expresses a similar idea.
People use religion so they don't have to cope with reality:
"It's typical,
create a world;
a special place of my design.
To never cope,
or never care;
just use the key,
cause he's alone."
Some people say it's about ritalin though.
I don't know, that's just what I think about it.
I had adhd when i was younger, they gave me ritalin and i lost interest in everything, i wouldnt eat play or have fun and i moped arond the house like a zombie. i lost 20 pounds in one month. fortunately my parents divorced and my dad took me off the medicine.

------ About the song Send The Pain Below performed by Chevelle
Actually Aleron, your only half right. While she doesn't notice his pain, I dont think he envies her.I think he just loves her and by sending the pain below, he'd just send it to where he couldn't notice it. Maybe to protect her?
either way | Reviewer: AnonymousCross
------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
Arguing isn't going to help any of you guys. It can be seen as either a Christian song or a non Christian song. It all depends on how you see it through your eyes. Neither parties are going to convince the other whether it is or not so don't argue about it. It's immature and stupid. Just read it how you think it is supposed to be read and deal.
This is not a Christian song... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
Says drummer Sam, "Our faith is still extremely important to us, but it's also very personal. None of us feels being a rock band on stage should be a pedestal for preaching."
Obviously, they do not write songs to preach. Maybe they are religious but they are NOT Christian music. This is an anger anthem, meant to portray the raw emotion of anger and rage when someone is provoked time and time again, and pushed to their breaking point, to the point where violence is not unheard of. Chevelle are an amazing band and they are also an angry band, and these are some of the best lyrics they have that deal with lashing out in a vengeful fury.
Wow. | Reviewer: Keegan
------ About the song The Red performed by Chevelle
This is not a Christian band...and the fact that you say Christians are singled out is appauling. Your guys are...especially in the U.S..a disgusting majority. I dont know where you live..but that my friend is a joke.
Ok well i have ADHD, but what all of you do not realize that doesnt necissarily mean you are hyper, i am very calm im never angry and never hyper because hyperactivity annoys the hell outta me. but what i do have is the forgetfulness the nonstop fidgeting, the lack of concentration, awkward social life, ect. so by saying ADHD means you act hyper you are not necisarily correct... so yeah... read some books on ADHD hyperactivity is only one of the like 10
problems it has =/ sorry to burst your bubbles if you thought you were smart and everything.
FYI I am 14 and acted hyper when i was like 1-6, around 7 is when it stopped.
