Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals (also known as zoolites), plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record.
The study of fossils across geological time, how they were formed, and the evolutionary relationships between taxa (phylogeny) are some of the most important functions of the science of paleontology. Such a preserved specimen is called a "fossil" if it is older than some minimum age, most often the arbitrary date of 10,000 years ago. Hence, fossils range in age from the youngest at the start of the Holocene Epoch to the oldest from the Archaean Eon, up to 3.4 billion years old. The observations that certain fossils were associated with certain rock strata led early geologists to recognize a geological timescale in the 19th century. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed geologists to determine the numerical or "absolute" age of the various strata and thereby the included fossils.
Between the Buried and Me is an American heavy metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina. They have released a total of five studio albums, as well as a cover album, an EP and a live DVD/CD. A majority of the group's releases were made through Victory Records, until their shift to Metal Blade in 2011 where they released their first EP, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues through the label on April 12, 2011.
Between the Buried and Me was founded in 2000 in Raleigh, North Carolina by vocalist Thomas Giles Rogers Jr., guitarist Paul Waggoner, drummer Will Goodyear, guitarist Nick Fletcher (formerly of Empire Falls), and bassist Jason King. The band's name is derived from a section of lyrics in the Counting Crows song, "Ghost Train;" "Took the cannonball down to the ocean/Across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me."
Between the Buried and Me's first release was a three-song demo, containing the tracks "Use of a Weapon", "What We Have Become", and "More of Myself to Kill". These three tracks were re-recorded for the band's self-titled debut album, released through Lifeforce Records in 2002. The album includes the track "Arsonist", a protest against the beliefs and practices of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. The song "Aspirations" became the band's first music video. At the time, the release was not widely known, but did manage to catch the attention of Victory Records, to which they later signed. Victory reissued the album in 2004 as an enhanced CD. Today, songs from the album are rarely played live.
Telah Ku Jalani Hidup Bersamamu
Setauku Ini Akan Bahagia
Ternyata Aku Telah Salah Menilaimu
Sebenarnya Dirimu Yang Tak Bisa Mencintaiku
Kau Memintaku
Kau Paksa Aku
Untuk Akhiri Ikatan Ini
Untuk Melepasmu
Sebenarnya Dirimu Yang Tak Bisa Mencintaiku
Kau Memintaku
Kau Paksa Aku
Untuk Akhiri Ikatan Ini
Untuk Melepasmu
Begitu berat melangkah
Melihat kau bersamanya
Adakah aku yg salah
Atau hanya helah saja
Ku masih mencintai diri kamu
Walau kau menjauh
Ku rindu
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Hoo..Hooh
Biarpun kau tidak mahu
Menerima kasih daku
Ku kan setia bersamamu
Sehingga ke akhir waktu
Ku tetap menyayangi diri kamu
Biar kau berlalu
Ku rindu
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna engkau mahakarya
Kau takkan dapat aku lupakan
Kerna kau lah punca cinta kita
Mengajarkan ku erti bahagia
Temanilahku semula
Kau bagaikan udara
Yang membantu aku untuk terus hidup diatas dunia
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Hoo..Hooh
Tanpamu ku lemah
Pasti aku tak berdaya
Kerna kau mahakarya cinta
Dengarlah pesanan daku
