Joshua Neil Farro (born September 29, 1987) is an American rock guitarist and songwriter, and the lead guitarist of the band Novel American. He is best known as the former lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the alternative rock band Paramore. He is also the older brother of Zac Farro drummer of Half Noise and formerly of Paramore.
Farro was a founding member and lead guitarist of Paramore from the band's creation in 2004 until 2010. Additionally, he provided backing vocals and was chiefly involved in writing almost all of the band's songs alongside Hayley Williams and Taylor York. On December 18, 2010, Paramore's official website announced that Farro and his brother Zac had decided to leave the band.
On December 21, 2010, a blog appeared online claiming to be an official exit statement from the Farro brothers. The blog was heavily critical of Williams' family, Atlantic Records, and Fueled by Ramen. Additionally, it includes an alternate explanation of the band's formation, refuted statements made by the band's website announcement and regarding the brothers' departure, and negated previous claims that dissension amongst the band was healed during the writing of Brand New Eyes.
White Flag
Written by: Josh Auer
Hey it isn’t ok
To raise the white flag this round
And hey we’re all to blame
We’re held slave to our choices
Ignoring the voices
Yeah we’ve got much to learn
Ooo Ooo
We’ve got much to learn
Hey this isn’t a game
It’s a full house you’re dealing with
And the thoughts that float in your head
Will soon be on your shoulders
We’re getting older
But we’ve got much to learn
Ooo Ooo
We’ve got much to learn
Love won’t stand by forever
And watch us destroy it
Love won’t stand by
Yeah we’ve got much to learn
Oh we’ve got much to learn
We’ve got much to learn
