Biography:
Southeast Engine was formed in 2000 by Adam "Rem" Remnant (lead vocals, guitar) and Leo DeLuca (drum kit, percussion). Both attended the same high school in Dayton, Ohio and grew up in "The Gem City" during its musical heyday of the 1990s. Underground bands like Guided By Voices, Brainiac, and Swearing At Motorists made significant and long-standing impressions upon the two youngsters.
Around 2000, the pair moved to Athens, Ohio and were equally inspired by the Appalachian old-timey and folk music of the area.

D G A D
oh Ruthie with the summer heat dying down
G A D
there’s no rules in this town
G A Bm
with the brush alongside the road
G A D
we got nowhere to go
G A D
and as the warm fronts scatter
G A D
we tend to daily matters

and the first frost lets us know
G A D
what we will have to undergo

at home and on your family’s farm

how trouble always hovers near

and how we have to persevere
G A D
so let us backfill what’s been defiled
G A D
and let the wilderness be wild

yeah let all four seasons have their say
G A D
as the last six months decay

I’ve been serving time

for some mysterious unknown crime

D G A D
oh Ruthie none of this comes as much of a surprise
G A D
still the tears well up in your eyes
G A Bm
but all the madness the world employs
G A D
will not be strong enough to destroy
G A D
all of the sweetness we have gained
G A D
with your garden plots and rain
G A Bm
with your apple trees and all
G A D
we can harvest through the fall
G A D
oh Ruthie oh won’t you take this ring
G A D
come let us marry by next spring

I know the weather won’t make up its mind
G A D
oh but Ruthie I have made up mine.
