In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose, or appearing to be so extravagant that it transcends the range of garden ornaments usually associated with the class of buildings to which it belongs.
18th century English gardens and French landscape gardening often featured Roman temples, which symbolized classical virtues or ideals. Other 18th century garden follies represented Chinese temples, Egyptian pyramids, ruined abbeys, or Tatar tents, to represent different continents or historical eras. Sometimes they represented rustic villages, mills and cottages, to symbolize rural virtues. Many follies, particularly during famine, such as the Irish potato famine, were built as a form of poor relief, to provide employment for peasants and unemployed artisans.
In English, the term began as "a popular name for any costly structure considered to have shown folly in the builder", the OED's definition, and were often named after the individual who commissioned or designed the project. The connotations of silliness or madness in this definition is in accord with the general meaning of the French word "folie"; however, another older meaning of this word is "delight" or "favourite abode" This sense included conventional, practical, buildings that were thought unduly large or expensive, such as Beckford's Folly, an extremely expensive early Gothic Revival country house that collapsed under the weight of its tower in 1825, 12 years after completion. As a general term, "folly" is usually applied to a small building that appears to have no practical purpose, or the purpose of which appears less important than its striking and unusual design, but the term is ultimately subjective, so a precise definition is not possible.

From their album Insanity Later. LYRICS: Thoughts spawn as quick as they waste. Forge disoriented futures. Cutting in and out, floating in and out. I'm about to chance a great deal of my past. I'm about to chance a great deal of my future. Why does this decision turn its back on me? I'm not the only one risking it all. This must be some sick joke that I played on myself. This must be some sick self that I joked on my play. This is where the ghosts play. This is where the ghosts play dead. This is where the ghosts play dead wrong. Patience runs thinner and thinner. When will I realize I'm floating in space unattached from your life? Did I belong there in the first place? Distance seems to go on forever. When will I realize I'm floating in space unattached from your life? How long will thi...

FILMED BY JOHN KOMAR http://www.wix.com/johnkomar/john-komaranimation http://www.facebook.com/KinarfMusicVideos http://kinarfmusicvideo.tumblr.com This is a live performance video of Folly playing their first reunion show at The School of Rock in South Hackensack, NJ. Folly was a band from Sussex, New Jersey. Their music is a mix of hardcore, metal, punk and ska. The band's final lineup included Arben Colaku on bass, Geoff Towle on guitar, Anthony Wille on drums, Agim Colaku on guitar, and Jon Tummillo on vocals. They chose the name Folly due to its implications that a "costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome" is in fact the complete metaphor of the band and its members. In their words, "Folly is exactly what we are, not just as a band of fools who play ridiculou...

Taken this for granted.
Pawned a laugh for a smile, a hug for a handshake, a note for a goodbye, thank you.
Dial the sun, for the time?
Dial the sun, forgive a big hand, a little hand.
We'll never tell them apart regardless.
Best regards.
Forfeit sundials.
Dispersed the days wondering what it feels like to look back at this.
Unending rituals, line for line.
Memory infinity.
Believe in it.
Dial the sun, for the time?
Dial the sun, for everyone sighs.
Its not my thing but I appreciate it.
At least I can tell them apart from the rest.
