A little something about Saosin.

Who are they? Yes. They are my inspiration towards music. They are Saosin. I knew them by listening to their old song " Seven Years ". (y) Saosin is a five-piece band from Newport Beach, California. They formed during the summer of 2003, and are characterized by their powerful, high-pitched vocals and melodic guitar riffs. Their musical style has variously been described as post-hardcore, emo and screamo. Oh come on! They're not screamo! You want to listen to screamo? Listen to The Locust.

Anthony Green.

Anthony Green (now in Circa Survive), the former vocalist, had initially suggested the name "Saosin" (pronounced as "say-oh-shin") for the band. The name is derived from the Chinese phrase xiao xin(si au shin), meaning be careful, which could also be literally translated in English to small heart. Green explained the meaning behind this as being a reference to the fact that nothing is eternal, and that it is a mistake to become overly attached to any one thing, because that thing will eventually be lost. Whilst Green's interpretation of the word xiao xin is obscure, xiao xin is generally used in Chinese as a means to express caution.

forever a Saosin fan. (y)
