The Semi-Pro's (sometimes referred to as Amateurs @ Work) are a no-fi indie… Read Full Bio ↴The Semi-Pro's (sometimes referred to as Amateurs @ Work) are a no-fi indie folkrock boyband, often credited as being "the best musical performance act since Rick Astley" and even better known for a level of eroticism that rivals anyone. They are best known for their smashhit "Anyway" which topped the US charts for 752 consequetive weeks before being deemed "unfit for radioplay, because frankly, it's just bad". Despite their huge success all over the world, the trio have always remained modest, regularly stating in interviews that "despite being local celebrities they try and live their lives as normally as possible." Speculations about the band's formation have been fueled by numerous conflicting statements given by the band on the matter. In an interview with Melody Maker,
the band stated that "they met in after-school bible class", yet a more commonly believed view on their formation is that the group met while playing in a "Bee Gees coverband", which at first consisted of only two members, Siefpief and Bassie. After being kicked out of his former math-rock band for not knowing the square root of 47, Theylur decided to join as he "had always dreamed of being a Bee Gee".
It is more likely however, that the band formed following the permanent hiatus of their former band Amateurs @ Work, featuring Julian G on bass. They are often considered frontrunners in the emerging no-fi movement, which is scheduled to storm charts all over the world in late 2011. All of the bandmembers have therefore appeared in various no-fi supergroups and have remained legends in the local scene. The band's most significant achievement however, was being ranked in Rolling Stone's "Guys you've just GOTTA date" chart, the results of which have sadly been neglitable. As the bass player in the band, Siefpief has always considered himself the driving force behind the band's no-fi awesomeness, although in reality, he's considered to be the band's least popular member.

Semi-Pro's Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what I said
Don't hate me cause I said it
I love you more than I need you
Your love is the only one I can't see through

See through
See through
See through

See through
See through
See through
See through
See through

Music is too loud
When you're not around
Nowhere to be found
When I hold you

Music is too loud
When you're not around
Nowhere to be found
When I hold you

When I hold you

Let me just say you looked
So beautiful when I left you
Keep still, don't hide what you're feeling inside
You've loved, I've lost
Do you miss me anymore?

Music is too loud
When you're not around
Nowhere to be found
When I hold you

Music is too loud
When you're not around
Nowhere to be found
When I hold you

You know, you know

I feel your pain
I can see your heart
I can smell the rain
I can hear our art
Tell me you don't know how this is gonna go
We both did our best
But it's time to go

Music is too loud
When you're not around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Semi-Pro's song "Anyway" explore a complicated and painful love story. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that he may have said something hurtful, but he still loves the person he's addressing, even though he can't fully understand their motives or emotions. The repetition of "see through" creates a sense of longing and frustration, as if the singer is trying to reach out to someone who he can't quite grasp.

In the second verse, the singer reflects on how much they miss their lover, and how incomplete their life feels when they're not around. The line "when I hold you" suggests that physical closeness is what makes the singer feel whole, but the fact that their music is "too loud" implies that they're using volume to fill a void left by this person's absence.

Line by Line Meaning

I know what I said
I am aware of the words that I spoke

Don't hate me cause I said it
Please don't resent me for speaking my mind

I love you more than I need you
I have strong feelings for you that exceed my dependence on you

Your love is the only one I can't see through
I am unable to fully comprehend your love

See through
Transparent or easy to understand

Music is too loud
The volume of the music is too high

When you're not around
In moments of your absence

Nowhere to be found
No sign of your presence

When I hold you
During the time I am embracing you

Let me just say you looked
Allow me to express that you appeared

So beautiful when I left you
You were extremely attractive the last time I saw you

Keep still, don't hide what you're feeling inside
Stay stationary and do not conceal your internal emotions

You've loved, I've lost
You have experienced love, while I have suffered a loss

Do you miss me anymore?
Are you still longing for me?

I feel your pain
I empathize with the discomfort you are experiencing

I can see your heart
I can perceive your emotional state

I can smell the rain
I can detect the scent of rain

I can hear our art
I can listen to the product of our artistic collaboration

Tell me you don't know how this is gonna go
Inform me that you are uncertain about the direction this situation will take

We both did our best
Both of us put forth maximum effort

But it's time to go
However, it is now time to part ways

My favourite part is when the crowd continued to sing about Scotland getting battered everywhere we go...yet only 1 English darts player has won the world title in the last 8 years...whilst Anderson and Wright have won 3 between them and one of them have a chance to make it a 4th in 9 years
Hopefully its Anderson that will win but wouldn't mind Wrighty winning either just to piss off the crowd 😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Andrei Tabacaru

He's stone cold, nothing phases him

joe shmoe

I've noticed in the last year or so ...
If his opponent starts slow, he usually does as well, he perhaps has turned into a reactionary player. Turning up the gas when needed, maybe saving fuel for one more world championship .... Of course that's a dangerous way to play.

Saying that, I'd like to see Wade do well but don't think he's quite there.

@louis beaumont It's a massive impact lol. Taking the third favourite out of it makes the competition a lot easier and blows it wide open.

It's highly likely that whoever wins it would have had to beat MVG in normal circumstances.

@Piet Govert Van Buiten okay...what's his track record this year? He's not always in the final or semi final. Price is going to eat his own words.

Piet Govert Van Buiten

@LetterToVoltaire i think its more about what Price said earlier, to be the best you have to beat the best. And i think especially with MVG out, that's not going to happen this year..

gredangeo

@bc74 How would steroids help a dart pro? If anything, being too bulky will hinder your arm and flexibility. That being said, if there's any reason to ban steroid use, it's to eliminate the beefcake mentality that typically comes with steroid users.

@Peter Martinaitis Ok. But it clearly matters to the English crowd. Also, we’re not privy to the reasons why he “moans”, perhaps in the same situation we’d moan too, who knows.
