CHICAGO 'S Chevelle - Letter from a Thief (Official Video) SCI FI CRIMES

First published at 04:16 UTC on September 18th, 2022.

They know what everybody knows
Better sit a letter from a thief says
Why lead when everybody sleeps
So few ways to cover up your wounds
Lost in a finger forced to lie
This sends us medicating through it all

[Chorus]
If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
[Verse 2]
Faceless, so little there to judge
Left wing, let's separate the cold out
Opposites, we never need to tell
One sting I've found I'm having to, I'm having to

[Chorus]
If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all

[Bridge]
Solitude, waste of a man
This fades as soon as the sun sets

I now own this fatal role that lives
Imagine here's a better feel
Told to dissolve, or choose to fade
Or stay here, you'll live

[Chorus]
If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there, you'll live
If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there

This song is about a personal experience for the band when their equipment was stolen in Dallas. They recovered just over half of it, including Loeffler's prized red PRS guitar, which was returned by a man in California to PRS after he learno it was the frontman's. Drummer Sam Loeffler told the USA publication Muen Magazine about the incident: "We recovered about half of it or maybe a little bit more. The stuff that came through was from people who said 'Hey, I know who this belongs to.' and they called somebody and let them know. It worked out really well. There are two sides to it. There were a lot of people who wrote to us and said 'You guys are a bunch of pansies. Open up your wallets and buy some new gear. You guys are millionaires.' That is not true and even if it were true, it is still personal items that we have done all these records with. They have sentimental value and no matter how much money someone has, it doesn't give people the right to steal from them. That's ignorant and that's how people hide behind the internet. The good news is that some things did show up in pawn shops, eBay and people let us know. We were able to either get the cops to get it back for us or we were able to buy it back, which is fine too. We are an established rock band; we have insurance to help us pay for those things. We lost $130,000, it's a lot of money, it's a lot of money to me that's for sure. Even still, we were grateful to get back the pieces that we got back. There were a couple of pieces that were really important to us. One of them was this original red Paul Reed Smith guitar that we did Point #1 and Wonder What's Next with it and we had, had it on the road. It was the first nice guitar that Pete had ever bought and we bought it used for $900. We had gone in half on it and it was a really important piece to us. We got it back and a couple other guitars that were really important to us. It was really cool."

IM 99% SURE THIS HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THEIR AUSTIN SHOW MY FRIEND AND I WENT TO AND WE FOUND OUT THEY GOT GANKED LAST MINUTE...THE NOON OF THE FRIDAY WE LEFT TO AUSTIN
