During this busy time remixing Read Full BioGary Danks & Jonathan Whitehouse have been producing music as The Funky Lowlives in Soho, London since 1998. Ever since the Lowlives' first single landed on the tiny London label Ascension Music, they have always been in demand as producers, spending the best part of their early career predominantly remixing tracks for other artists. These include such luminaries as Masters at Work, Dizzy Gillespie, Mark Rae, and Richard Dorfmeister.
During this busy time remixing, the Lowlives were gradually developing their sound, and slowly releasing their own original material. Their production and style caught the attention of Kruder & Dorfmeister who signed them to G-Stone Records, where they released "Inside E.P."
For their debut studio album "Cartouche" the guys moved to the German label Stereo Deluxe, where over the years they had built up a friendship from DJing and collaborating on various projects with the head of the label, Oli Roesch. "Cartouche" was released in the summer of 2002.
Following the tragic death of Oli Roesch, the Lowlives decided to start afresh and at the end of 2003 they moved to the new London-based label Outer Recordings.
Sail Into the Sun
The Funky Lowlives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
By yourself
By yourself
I’m always gonna talk around
The things you wanna talk about
Now you found love
By yourself
By yourself
My confidence is fully grown
To make the journey on my own
Sailin out on golden seas
Getting tired of trying to be free
And we sail into the sun
I could find a million ways
To escape into the haze
Let me sail into the sun
Now what you’ve done
To yourself
To yourself
It makes me want to get away
And move into a different day
Now you have all
That you need
That you need
What is it that I want to see
Why do I want to fly away
Sailin out on golden seas
Getting tired of trying to be free
And we sail into the sun
I could find a million ways
To escape into the haze
Let me sail into the sun
Let me sail into the sun
Sailin out on golden seas
Getting tired of trying to be free
And we sail into the sun
I could find a million ways
To escape into the haze
Let me sail into the sun
The Funky Lowlives's song "Sail Into the Sun" seems to be about breaking free from a situation or a person and finding your own way. The lyrics suggest that the person in the song has finally found love by themselves and doesn't need the other person anymore. The first verse indicates that the singer won't engage in the things the other person wants to talk about, and the second verse suggests that the singer wants to move on to a different day.
The chorus of the song talks about sailing into the sun, which could be a metaphor for leaving the past behind and moving towards a brighter future. The lyrics convey the exhaustion that comes with trying to be free, and the desire to escape into a haze, which could be interpreted as a way to forget the painful memories of the past. The line "let me sail into the sun" is a plea to be allowed to move on and live life on their own terms.
Overall, "Sail Into the Sun" is an empowering song that encourages listeners to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
Now you found out
You have come to a realization
By yourself
Without anyone's help or guidance
By yourself
All on your own
I’m always gonna talk around
I will avoid discussing the topics you are interested in
The things you wanna talk about
The subjects that interest you
Now you found love
You have discovered love
By yourself
Without anyone else's involvement
By yourself
You achieved it alone
My confidence is fully grown
I have become sure of myself
To make the journey on my own
To complete my journey independently
Sailin out on golden seas
Embarking on a journey with high hopes
Getting tired of trying to be free
Exhausted with trying to escape
And we sail into the sun
We aim to reach an unattainable goal
I could find a million ways
Endless possibilities exist
To escape into the haze
To evade reality
Let me sail into the sun
Allow me to pursue my unachievable dream
Now what you’ve done
What have you accomplished
To yourself
For yourself
To yourself
On your own accord
It makes me want to get away
It makes me yearn to escape
And move into a different day
And start anew
Now you have all
You possess everything
That you need
All the essentials
That you need
Necessary requirements are met
What is it that I want to see
What do I desire to witness
Why do I want to fly away
What motivates me to depart
Let me sail into the sun
Give me the liberty to chase my dreams
Sailin out on golden seas
Embarking on an optimistic journey
Getting tired of trying to be free
Becoming fed up with the pursuit of freedom
And we sail into the sun
And we set out for an unattainable goal
I could find a million ways
Countless possibilities exist
To escape into the haze
To run from reality
Let me sail into the sun
Allow me to pursue my unrealistic ambition
