Level on the Inside

Dovetail Joint was a rock band that formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1992. The band featured guitar/vocalist Charles Gladfelter, guitarist Robert Byrne, bassist Jon Kooker, and drummer Joe Dapier. After several years of playing locally, as well as independently releasing their self titled album in 1995, the band started to garner interest after their song "Level on the Inside" was featured on an annual compilation disc of local radio station WKQX Q101. Columbia Records quickly signed the band and released 001 in early 1999. "Level" turned out to be the band's only commercial hit, and Columbia dropped the band before releasing a second album. However, an independently released EP was released in 2002 which would turn out to be their last. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You sit me down to explain all
the trials you've endured
Around and around the refrain
rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion,
entertain the notion
That the only thing I hear is
the crack of a smile in a face
That ain't so sincere
When I'm measuring out your qualities
It is only as deep as your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces,
shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile 'til they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the most
common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation,
surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your wake
I think you can, reach a place
where the impetus is pure
You'll understand, a disgrace is
the thing that makes us feel..
"Level on the inside,
level on the outside"
I'm content to know it
Level on the inside,
level on the outside
I don't need to show it
