More about
Under The Elephany

6AM

Under The Elephant is a family of six friends/musicians that joined forces to create a unique sound and style that would make anyone want to dance, sing, and feel the love. Fronting Under The Elephant are long time friends singer/songwriters Josh McMillan and Ben Jelen. Brian Clemens on drums and his cousin Daniel Martinez on bass, who originally played with Josh on a solo project, make up our amazing rhythm section. Completing the six are Josh's wife Elizabeth and singer/songwriter, Tina Mathieu, on backing vocals. That's it in a nut shell! We are working on our first album and look forward to performing in early 2009!

Toss and turn again
motion sickness from the questions in my head
pounding back and forth
what on earth have I been doing
With my life and with my love
well I've been giving it to every one
Would you take my life and take my love
if there's really heaven up above
open up my eyes

6 in the morning and I'm doing my best to get over it
got to get over everything thats on my mind

Words fall off me like oil on water
it's like nothing sinks on through but it mixes in
with the morning dew
making pools of wonder round me
I dive on in and hold my breath
like its never ever gonna end
and I will hold it 'til I come up from the bottom
open up my eyes

Let it go - and let me fall asleep
