there have been bands gone longer than 10 years... so i have some hope... i realize if some of the band mates left its difficult for him to try it again.. but its just so special of a band.... i hate that they have that debt with serj...i'd do anything in my power to help them
I have been a quiet fan for far too long. DARROH PLEASE WE NEED YOU BACK!!! But seriously, I can’t get enough. This song is beautiful and so refreshing. hope all is well man.
Darroh has literally NO social media presence and it seems like we never did get that solo album. I just wanna know if the dude is alright and what he's up to nowadays. He has too much talent to waste.
I agree with everything you said. You know even just if he got some sort of social media just to say hey and discuss what's been happening I'd love that. Just a sort of official note to say he's not feeling up to doing a solo record, and give an official note about FTM disbanding. Anything would be nice. Then again, from what I've heard Darroh wasn't usually the one to talk about the band and what they're up to. I think Cliff was the guy to do that. Note I could be wrong, I wasn't around when FTM was active. But yeah Darroh has a lot of talent, I'd love it if he was doing a new project of some kind. He's a great lyricist, incredible vocals, and he's a hell of a song writer.
@@sudderthh When it comes to the solo album it was mostly marriage and work that stopped it, he's a family/working man now so I honestly don't expect music from him any time soon. I would love it though. I miss his voice.
@@sudderthh I learned about them near the end of their run. It was in 2012 when Arrows & Anchors was new, I saw the commercial for the album so many times and remember hearing Musical Chairs over the commercial. We may never hear from him, I fear he probably believes people have forgotten about him and FTM since they never made it big. Somehow the fans will have to show him that we all remember and still love the music he gifted us. It'll probably take us to draw him out. Then again, he may prefer to stay ghosted.
I first heard of FTM about 10/11 years ago at a personal training studio I used to go to. They had Musical Chairs and Dance of the Manatee on their playlist. I always just assumed they were a popular band because of how innovative they sounded and how incredible Darroh’s voice is. I decided one day to go home and listen to fables and arrows in their entirety after the gym one day and I was absolutely astounded not only at how unknown they are, but also at how incredibly unique their sound is. I was even trying for a long time to find a physical copy of Carbon Copy Silver Lining lol. They quickly became my favorite bands and I tell people about them any chance I get. They’re such an an appreciated treasure. Needless to say, I’m devastated we won’t be hearing more from them. Maybe Darroh will pop up again someday with some new project. Here’s to hoping
Gooooood! I miss listening to Darroh sing! I used to list to Fair to Midland in High School. Since then I’ve hopped on Djent train. I still prefer Darroh’s voice to Spencer Sotello.
Why this voice or FTM was never a commercial success is just baffling. I don’t get how WAP or other SHIT like that can become so readily available to consumers, yet songs like musical chairs or Amarillo sleeps on my pillow get walked over.. Blows my mind.
Apparently him and his wife have a child and she quit her band to be with their family, so I guess he did too. That and iirc Fair to Midland was in a lot of debt and never really had the commercial success to sustain their lifestyle, so they had to break up. Damn shame, they were so talented especially Darroh with his singing styles and stage presence. This happens all too often with the most talented artists, unfortunately. I wish them the best.
A few months ago she posted an image on Instagram and the caption said something about divorce, and saying fuck abusers. So take that how you will. I just hope he still gets to see his kid. It seems he really cared about his family to leave music behind to focus on that. Edit: here's a reddit post talking about it www.reddit.com/r/FairtoMidland/comments/evvttw/darrohandrew_divorced/?
@@sudderthh thanks for the info! Pretty interesting. I hope he's doing alright all things considered. Maybe when he's in a better place he'll come back and make music. Either way I wish him the best.
Darroh... like... what happened?! Fair to Midland coulda been transcendent by now! Idk if a reunion is possible, but if it's not, please get yourself into a new fantastical jiggie of a band!
I don't think so, I heard he still wanted to do a solo album from someone who's kid had him as a vocal coach or something, this was around 2016 I think. I'm not sure what he's up to now, he worked at a School of Rock in Texas for a while. Could still be there, not sure.
@@narlycharley I just hope they're all doing well. And I hope he's making more stuff like this. Can anyone can tell me what they call this style of music?
I'm trying to get it where we can see along folks but this one is tricky, if anyone knows more lyrics let me know. ??? (Literally don't know the first verse at all...) ohhh lord, what happen to the simple days Went against the grain Went against the grain I say ohhh lord, what happen to a walk in the park we had to take the car we had to take the car Woe is me, somehow I hoped you'd break my heart and soul Woe is me, for the ghost I'm chasing ??? (If it wasn't for this line the chorus would be known) What have we here A devil in a gown Can't relate this suffering on my way down So when I go Will I get away Practicing ??? puts me further in my grave ohhh lord, Everyone is asking for more Then what they're asking for Then what they're asking for ohhh lord, ??? I'm showing her the door I'm showing her the door Woe is me, somehow I hoped you'd break my heart and soul Woe is me, for the ghost I'm chasing ???
I want to talk to Darroh about lyrics on Fables of a Mayfly. Is that something he would be up for? Like human to human. He wrote those lyrics when he was my age now. And I think they have been vastly misunderstood. I think that was his life work and maybe it would be refreshing for him to talk to somebody who has spent a lot of time trying to understand. I just want to connect with him as a fellow artist/human. We could all use a friend or someone who understands us. Maybe he could teach me something too. I just wish there was a way to find him, but I’ve never been able to.
hey, I'm not andrew. Sorry if I misled. I'm pretty sure he isn't doing music anymore. Check out the first comment here www.reddit.com/r/FairtoMidland/comments/fhw1n4/any_news_about_darroh/
Music to say "I tell ya what" to.
Fair to Midland was criminally underrated.
⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓❤
This is the best song I've heard since Arrows & Anchors came out 8 years ago... Darroh pls, come back
Maybe one day. Let's hope.
@@sudderthh darroh is that you?
@@anthonyhouse3454 No. I'm just a big fan.
He has so much talent. Shame he isn't making music anymore. I hope he's doing well.
Darroh we all miss ya but most of all hope you're having a great life. Thank you for making music.
one of these days, fair to midland will come back to us, and the world will make sense
I hope so
Glad I'm not the only one.

where did this come from? I can't believe the devotion of their fanbase even after being gone for almost 10 years.
music that touches the soul is forever

I follow his wife on Instagram. That's the closest you can get to see him on social media.
@@suke3823 what is her Instagram? I'd love to see.
Godamn how did I miss this. I listened to the demo of this year's back but now a finished version. Thank you Darroh!
What????!!!! How cool is this?? I can't get enough of Darroh or FTM.
Magickal music, love all their stuff!!!!!
on repeat the last couple days. Cant get enough.
Still here waiting!
Fucking oath. Giant of a voice and just as good live.
I put off seeing them when arrows and anchors was out, thinking I'd be able to next time. Fuck one of my biggest regrets in life
A local fan. I may have something.

Sounds like I'm on my pappy's porch in Louisiana... Eating gator meat.. talking about Clint Eastwood
Great
love this :)
It's a damn shame they stopped. Is Andrew still producing?
I don't think so, I heard he still wanted to do a solo album from someone who's kid had him as a vocal coach or something, this was around 2016 I think. I'm not sure what he's up to now, he worked at a School of Rock in Texas for a while. Could still be there, not sure.
Lets crush procrastination and start a' go fund me'. Give him a gift he can't refuse
@@mcleb84 well then...
@@sudderthh I actually called School of Rock in Forth worth and he's no longer the manager there.
@@narlycharley
I just hope they're all doing well.
And I hope he's making more stuff like this.
Can anyone can tell me what they call this style of music?
I'm trying to get it where we can see along folks but this one is tricky, if anyone knows more lyrics let me know.

(Literally don't know the first verse at all...)
ohhh lord, what happen to the simple days
Went against the grain
Went against the grain
I say ohhh lord, what happen to a walk in the park
we had to take the car
we had to take the car
Woe is me, somehow I hoped
you'd break my heart and soul
Woe is me, for the ghost I'm chasing
???
(If it wasn't for this line the chorus would be known)
What have we here
A devil in a gown
Can't relate this suffering on my way down
So when I go
Will I get away
Practicing ??? puts me further in my grave
ohhh lord, Everyone is asking for more
Then what they're asking for
Then what they're asking for
ohhh lord, ???
I'm showing her the door
I'm showing her the door
Woe is me, somehow I hoped
you'd break my heart and soul
Woe is me, for the ghost I'm chasing

I can hear Les Claypool going nuts!

Man, what happened to you after the collapse of FTM? Do you work every day 9 to 5 job? Do you still work in the music industry? What is actually up?
