you write the same sort of music and lyrics that i write and i write all my music on a acoustic first to. Your song silhouettes and this is war relates to me cause im a marine in camp pendleton who got activated so i like this is war. i wish you could here some of the songs ive wrote. write back if you get a chance. i found about you on the radio when you did your acoustic versions, i wish i could get my music heard. i know it will get somewhere i just need to record it in a studio, but until i get deactivated that will be hard. your good guys, especially silhouettes. good luck write back

Congradulations on your sucess so far. I seen the band at CPR Fest in Biloxi.. FUCKIN ROCKED GUYS!! I hate i missed your show at H.O.B in New Orleans, but Ill catch you next time around. I was wondering if you were going to be playing any at the Metallica Concert the begining of August. THere were a few more bands going to be there, but just wondering if one was yall..

Hey i have followed u guys pretty closly watching you on fuse on and off thinking of who you were im pretty stoked about Smile Empty Soul i think you guys will hit it in the future i think your the greatest. My friends and i are starting a band to follow in your past and become somewhat similar and not ruin anything im putting my heart in to this singing and i hope you guys are heard from many of people. I guess we look up to you in many ways but we are still young and are trying really hard to compete with another 13 14 year old band of some poser bastards who like to lie and get all the girls but my band is call Savage Precinct and are steering in your path to be like you guys i hope you respond and i was wondering if you will become some roll model band to fuckin show off those other cock suckers at my school and become someone better and do u guys skate at all just wondering later good luck im still following

Posted by: Benji on July 2, 2003 05:26 AM

Hey guys what's up? Nothing much here... I'm so glad that you all are coming back to Cincinnati, Ohio. I can't wait to see you all again!!! Anywho~~~~ Everything is going good. Sean I hope that you're not mad at me. And If so I am really sorry. Wellz i gotta go i still have lots and lots of practice to do before i can get back into this band. Please check out the Smile empty soul group on yahoo thanks

Posted by: Karissa on July 4, 2003 10:54 AM

Hey Guys!
I've only heard a few of your songs, and what I have are incredible. They make me feel alive and and like crying at the same time. I have, however read all the lyrics on this site. I beleive that if the lyrics don't mean anything the songs are meaningless also. One word describes your lyrics and that is "damn" really, really, awesome shit. Don't ever change, I'm sick of bands changing. Gonna keep following you guys! Lots of luck with all you do!
~Jillian

Posted by: Jillian on July 5, 2003 03:21 AM

Posted by: N8 on July 5, 2003 07:33 AM

Hey guys. I bought your CD about a week ago and it's all i've been listening to. I can really relate to a lot of the songs. You guys are totally awesome. I hope you come to Denver soon. I'd love to see you play live.

Posted by: Shannon on July 5, 2003 07:53 AM

Hey Guys,

You might not remember me, but I met you three on a flight out to Kansas City. I was with a big guy named Mike and we were invited to your 3 oclock concert as guests when i gave our names to Derek. I just wanted to say how awesome it was to meet you, and Chuck too (I could see him doing something as sadistic as killing a bambi). Also, we really regret not being able to join you all backstage, our boss was being a dick. I just bought your CD...its very spiritual and genuine, which i find is becoming more scarce as the music industry progresses. I fucking love it. Mike and I are planning to go to your 9:30 club show in DC late July. Let me know if you guys need a place for a good homecooked meal, my mom loves to cook...and my dad always has lots of beer. Write back if you all aren't too busy, hope to see you soon. Peace

Posted by: Cory Snyder on July 5, 2003 03:53 PM

hey
u guys r awsome the only CD i listen to is urs now and i luv it and i will never get tired of listenin to it :-}

Posted by: alyssa on July 5, 2003 04:23 PM

You guys had a GREAT performance at 104 fest in Harftord CT. Luckily, I MET YOU ALL!! <3 You probably met alot of girls that day, but we and my friend met Derek twice. We helped him get unlost. haha. You guys are playing in MA. and I'm going. I hope to meet you guys again, because I'm definetly you're number one FAN! Keep the good work up <33

_Kayla <33

Posted by: Kayla <3 on July 5, 2003 04:45 PM

Saw you guys in Hartford @ 104 Fest and you guys were by far the most talented and energetic band there......
Your songs are awesome and i thought you did better live than on the CD
Great show, keep it up
Oh yea and i caught your pick Sean lol

Posted by: Chris on July 5, 2003 10:55 PM

hey guys, i just wanted to say how great your music is. you've got some serious musical talent and i can easily see you getting big.
i also think you guys should really make a tab book for guitar and bass. since you guys are kinda new, not many people have spent enough time to figure out your stuff, i've tried, but you're really good, so its a bit hard for me.
i'd love it especially if you could give me your tabs to play "i want my life"
i love that song. thanks,
colin

Posted by: Colin on July 5, 2003 11:54 PM

hey, me and my friends think u guys ROCK!, u'r songs are awesome and the CD rocks...lyrics really touched home on some of the songs...you guys are a great band and hope ya'll have lots of luck with the band...hope to see u guys in concert soon...

Posted by: jen on July 6, 2003 03:33 AM

Hey, I love your music. On ticketmaster.com it says you're playing in Poughkeepsie, NY at the loft. I'm trying to get tickets. I really hope I can go and see you there. I can't wait to hear you live! If you ever have any time, e-mail me.

Much love,

Posted by: Birdy on July 6, 2003 01:53 PM

Poor deer! was it a baby deer, or a fatass one?
your cd is so awesome. I actualy cant remember having listening to annother cd since i got it. I relate to the music alot, and so much in Eraser, and sooo much in Your Way, reminds me of whats going on in my life. your music is so fucking awesome!

Posted by: Lisa on July 6, 2003 11:10 PM

you guys are so cool and really nice. i met you at summerfest and you show was so good. i fell off the bleachers and hurt my leg and got a really big bruise. but i think that it was worth it.

What's up Guys!!

I posted before but for some reason it is not showing up anymore. Anyway... not sure if you guys check this or respond ever (too much goin on i'm sure) But hey you guys will be back in CO on 8/27 and I am going to that show too, so if you guys want a good meal or something let me know. Question, you guys are with trapt on 8/27 but not 8/28, and 8/29 when they are in CO and NE. What's up with that?! can we get a little luv or what?

peace & harmony, luv and all that. (and yes I can cook) : )

Posted by: Michele on July 8, 2003 09:26 PM

your music means so much to me that i cannot explain. Maybe its because my lyrics are on similiar topics or i just enjoy the music so much...w.e. it is every time i hear you music i feel so relaxed because i do not feel so alone. Especially other side...do i know the feeling. i cannot believe i missed your show...it was right during exam time though ha. keep up the good work

Hey guys, I was front row at the fest in Hartford.. had to see S.E.S ;). You all ROCKED.. and Ryan you def stage dove onto me haha Rock on and keep up the AWESOME music boys..

Posted by: Lisa on July 9, 2003 07:18 AM

Just wanted to post quickly and express just how talented I think these guys are. I was first told about the band through a friend of mine at Lava and decided to give the album a chance. Great production and music. Of course I'm waiting until September when they make it out here to play Locobazooka to verify that Smile Empty Soul is not just another "studio band."

Hopefully if I am as pleased with their live set as I have been with their CD I will have no qualms about running an article on them. Kudos to another hard working band getting signed to a excellent label. Atlantic/Lava is one of the most rock/punk/emo friendly labels not setting boundaries. Congrats and I look forward to seeing you this September. Email inquiries are welcomed.

Posted by: Danielle on July 9, 2003 08:40 PM

Hey you guyz rock!!!!I love your CD i think its great and I love the song 'nowhere kids' and 'silhovettes'. The lyrics are awesome! and I could also relate to many of your songs, like 'the other side'. Thats something that I cant really do for a lot of other bands.
KEEP ROCKIN'!!!!

Posted by: melissa on July 9, 2003 11:14 PM

Dude! You guys are awesome. Ever since I heard your music on Fuse I wanted to die. Then I went to get your cd and I realized that you guys sing about a lot of the things that I go through. It felt good to know that I'm not the only one that goes through that crap. But one of the songs I've been writing has the same title as one of your songs "the other side," but a totally different meaning. It was wicked none the less. I can't wait to see another one of your music videos, and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in concert when you come to Minnesota. Rock on. Keep up the good work.

Posted by: bRITT on July 10, 2003 01:25 AM

My name is Mike hartley, Me and Nate Turner went to school with you sean till like 11 grade. Good old Brewer High School and Brewer Middle. Dunno if you read this but get in touch with some of your friends from Maine Sean. This is big news, Nate always said he'd hear you on the radio someday. Keep that shit coming were loving it.

Posted by: Mike Hartley on July 21, 2003 05:06 PM

Posted by: felicia on July 22, 2003 02:04 AM

I saw you guys on fuse and it totally rocked what you were talking about sean. About each of us having our own addictions. The really cool part was that my boyfriend and I had been talking about the same thing earlier that day (my addictions are music and ice cream). Anyway you guys rock, you should come back to State College cause I missed the show last night (I'm in Seattle, but i missed you there too cause I was in State College). Drop me a line if you get a chance.

Posted by: Katie on July 22, 2003 08:36 PM

awwwwwwe bambi died at the hands of a tour manager thats just wrong i thought he died at the hands of a hunter. but be careful guys cause freak accidents can happen from things like that so just don't let him drive anymore in the woodlen areas so that you have a better chance in living to do your next show. J/K chuck-o anyways ya guy are awesome and hope to catch one of your shows soon (while i'm still young and stupid enough to rock harder than any of the guys).
PEACE OUT AND ROCK ON!!!!!

Posted by: Brittany on July 22, 2003 10:18 PM

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! SEAN WERE GETTIN MARRIED!!! haha dont 4 get!

Posted by: nonaG on August 2, 2003 11:10 PM

What's up Sean? I can't believe that you guys got signed and made it big. I remember when you worked at Mail & More in Canyon Country and went to high school at Canyon! I think you were a senior when I was a freshman. I'm sure you have no idea who I am, but thats ok. I'm just a fan. I have been since you were Heckler's Veto. I have been at a rehab for the past 10 months, and I just got back today to SCV today, but I've been introduced to your music and I think its awesome. I always admired your talent. Well, I got to go, so keep jamming, and stay out of hailstorms. We wouldn't want such important people as yourselves to end up like a good friend of mine who got caught in the mix and lost his life along with his friend and older brother in a car accident. So don't take your life for granted, because you can never be too sure about how much its really worth. I'm all about "Life's too short, so live it up", but to a certain extent. I don't want to fucking die at my age. There are so many things that I want to accomplish first, you know? I'm sure you woudn't even 'listen' to this message even if you did read it, so... Peace.
R.I.P. Nicky, Timmy, & Danny

Hi, my name is Krissy. I love you all so much you're fucking awesome. I saw you guys in concert with three days grace and trapt in detroit at Harpos. I have to say that the pit got fucking crazy. but that's okay i loved it. While you guys were signing autographs (you signed my white shirt) after you sang Derek gave me and my best friend, Mandy, a kiss on the cheek and then I declared my love for him. It was the best night of my life. you guys are fucking awesome!!! All my love, Krissy.

What is the meaning of "bottom of a bottle" ? Is this how YOU really feel. Or is it putting down people who do drugs. I can see it in more than one way and I want YOUR meaning to it. Email me at irishmassagequeen@yahoo.com and let me know PLEASE. Thanks.

its about time we all had some good music hit 2days radio. the first time i heard of you was at 3am when Bottom Of A Bottle played on the radio. i was just laying there n your music really got 2 me. its personal but it can speak 2 a lot of people going through problems. i bought your cd in stores and really like "I Want My Life". Ive tried to play it on guitar but it doesnt really sound right. I was wondering if you can send me the tabs and/or chords so i can be able 2 play this awesome song. thanks, your band is a great change.

Alright I'm going to say that I worship you like all these other bimbos said, but I am going to agree with whoever said that you get the crowd going...Me and my friend were at the beach in texas when we saw you and I mean, you got the drunk wetbacks who were there for the beer to actually start moshing, which was quite amusing...Anywho, I just wanted to put in my fuckin' opinion where it doesn't belong....If ya'll come out to texas again you should try san antonio its better than most other shit holes. Well good luck and I hope ya'll don't get hooked on slutty groupies....I'm out.

Posted by: Tabs on August 31, 2003 07:08 AM

Hey. I looked up your lyrics. And you know that part where it says "You always call me
And ask me how I make it throught the day
I'm always fallin
I guess it's just god's way of
Making me big" Is it big or pay? Because My friend Evan says it's pay and he has the cd. But I looked the lyrics up and each one I go to says big. So I don't know.

Posted by: lauren on September 7, 2003 11:19 PM

After scrolling all the way down this damn page i kind of got the impression that there was no use in me writting this because you guys probably wouldnt get a chance to read it anyway. i seen you guys at Buzzfest 4 saturday, sept. 6 in Nashville TN. I'm the emotional nutcase that freaked out and started crying. dont know if anyone else did that or not. but i also had a very bad sunburn.
I really enjoyed watching you guys perform, (you are my favorite fucking group in the entire universe, and my boyfriend has no clue why i freaked out like i did. maybe i was too caught up in the moment but you guys kicked ass, and i'm so in love with sean, he is one sexy bitch i swear. if i could i would so fuck the hell out of you. Fat Chance that would happen *wink*.
I'm sitting here wondering why the hell i'm writing this. maybe i'm hopeing that you guys will email me or something, i dunno. i would really freak the fuck out if you did, that would be great. maybe if i paid you guys enough i could get you to play at my boyfriends party... ya right.
PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK, I'M IN LOVE YOU WITH SEAN AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!!!!!
Even tho that would be nice, thats never going to happen. but to tell you the truth sex between me and my boyfriend is never going to be the same again......if you get what i'm saying. everytime we fuck i'll be thinking of you, sean.....

later

Hi! I see that you've become quite popular by all of your posts! Congratulations on your success! I hear you in the states all of the time now.
I have a question for you three. Are any of your songs about Panic Disorder or Diagnosed Depression, or are they focused more on abuse?
I'm curious, since you mention medication, drugs to make you feel alive, etc.
I Manage a support group for people for Panic/Anxiety Disorder and Diagnosed Depression. Maybe you could pop in and tell us about your story. Check out my pic too! LOL! I might be 33, but still a hottie! LMAO!
Thanks Guys! Hope to hear from you soon!
Best Wishes;

Posted by: Mike on September 10, 2003 03:55 PM

OK, I can't say you guys are my favorite band but you guys have power. I'm from Temecula California and am also in a band. Although the band is only a year old and the members aged 15-17 were more musically talened than many of these blink 182 wannabeee bands. Lets all face it, punk sucks! Ive played a couple of gigs. Nothing too big but....we have half an album done. I jut wanted to let all you guys from S.E.S. that they have helped keep the blance between great and terrible music even by releasing their album! They rock!

Posted by: I feel like more when im involved in music on September 12, 2003 04:56 AM

IM from Temecula CA and in desperate need of musical inspiration when BAM! the song bottom of the bottle gets stuck in my head. Now I have half of an album in the works at age 15. My band ASHES is goin good, and my band B.A.N.E is doin ok. So I'd like to thank all the guys in S.E.S. because it's not just your music but your very spirit in your music that keeps me thinking "FUCK college" all I want to do is play music in my bands!

Posted by: David on September 12, 2003 05:03 AM

Hey, aww =( ...poor deer...oh yea... i have a true story that my grandma told me... my grandma lives in a wooded area so there are deers all over the place...so one day there was a deer in front of her house and a big truck hit the deer, so of course my grandms thought it was dead...so she went outside to see if it was dead, but when she looked at it, it picked up its head and stared at her...she was really freaked out so she got her portable phone to call the police to kill it because it was suffering...so when the police came she went into her house...she was watching out the window when the police man shot the deer, but after he shot it once it was still alive, so then he shot it again and that didnt do anything, but when he shot it one last time it died... Yea ok thats my story... when my grandma told me what happened i instantly thought of the movie me, myself, and irene...if you ever saw that movie you know what im talkin about...well i gotta go.

Hey, aww =( ...poor deer...oh yea... i have a true story that my grandma told me... my grandma lives in a wooded area so there are deers all over the place...so one day there was a deer in front of her house and a big truck hit the deer, so of course my grandms thought it was dead...so she went outside to see if it was dead, but when she looked at it, it picked up its head and stared at her...she was really freaked out so she got her portable phone to call the police to kill it because it was suffering...so when the police came she went into her house...she was watching out the window when the police man shot the deer, but after he shot it once it was still alive, so then he shot it again and that didnt do anything, but when he shot it one last time it died... Yea ok thats my story... when my grandma told me what happened i instantly thought of the movie me, myself, and irene...if you ever saw that movie you know what im talkin about...well i gotta go.

Out of this meeting within a meeting came the founding of an organization to be headed by Buchman, that came to be known as Moral Re-Armament (MRA). Moral Re-Armament was, and remains to this day, an influence-peddling and control operation, run as a pseudo-Christian religious cult, much like the later Moon cult which it spawned. In more ways than one, Frank Buchman was the Reverend Moon of the 1920s and 1930s.

Hey guys! That Show with you guys at the House of blues in Anaheim Rocked! You should have been the headlineing band. Any way you should release with this knife to radio stations. It sounds good and it means something from the heart. Music is nothing unless you put your heart and soul into it. And clearly you have it. So keep it up..Oh and is there any way i can get a few guitar pics?

I never listen to anything on tv because nothing is worth listening to, except for bands like STP and Nirvana and stuff. But when I heard you guys on MTV2, I was thinking "This is good shit." I respect every musician that can make me sit there and say "Hey, this is good fucking shit, turn it up..." Keep up the good ass music!

Howdy...just wanted to say that you guys have some amazing music, it's honest, it's real, I love it....its so much better than anything else they're playing in the media today.....Thanks for making this semester a good one musically for me.....I was also wondering about the songs that I found of yours that aren't on your album, how do I get those songs????(meaningless, rain, sleepwalking)
Thanks guys, keep rocking
