Being in a band is like being in a relation. Sometimes you want to quit. But when you love, you hope and vice-versa.
I have been trying to make a career out of my music for a long time and sometimes I feel like giving up. This song is about not giving up. I'll go on: Here we go, with the same voice, the same goal!
lyrics
LOVE ALWAYS HOPES
AND WE TALK ABOUT A LOT
BUT WE TALK ABOUT IT NOT
NO, WE CAN’T GIVE UP TONIGHT
FOR THIS LOVE PROPELLED OUR LIVES
KNOT OUR TIES
WE ALL KNEW WE WANTED SOMETHING
THOUGH WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT
BUT SHE STOLE OUR HEART AND SOUL
THEN WE NAMED HER ROCK AND ROLL
AND WE GAVE ALL
YES IT’S HER I’LL FOLLOW
I’LL FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH THE SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
OOH WE DREAMT OF BEING STARS
IT JUST NEVER GOT THAT FAR
SHE LOST INTEREST, LOST CONTROL
WE GREW UP, WE GOT OLD
ALMOST, ALMOST
AND IT’S HER I FOLLOW
I FOLLOW TO THE END OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
NEVER THAT SAME MISTAKE
NEVER LET HER KNOW
HERE WE GO, TO THE END
OF THIS BLIGHTED BAND
HERE WE GO
WITH A SAME VOICE, THE SAME GOALS
AND LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES
ITS THE SAME HEART, THE SAME SOAP
YES LOVE, IT ALWAYS HOPES

It's quite simple, really. Solo (Michiel Flamman, Simon Gitsels backed by Reyer Zwart and Rowin Tettero) has one goal and
one goal only: a song can only see the light of day when it's perfect. Solo is always in search of a "Timeless Melody". In the Netherlands, Solo's music has become a hallmark of pop songs with a golden glow....more
