1) Apollo was formed in 1… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Apollo was formed in 1969. They released one album, Apollo (1970). Their music was occasionally heavy and the band sounds like Led Zeppelin or Procol Harum, with little bit King Crimson in it. Members have been in other Finnish progressive projects.
2) Apollo was a post-hardcore/experimental rock band from North Bend/Coos Bay, Oregon, United States.
Bio of theirs from 2011:
"Beginning in early 2010, Apollo has gained recognition for becoming one of the rising artists in Oregon. Starting in the small town of North Bend, Apollo was publicized in local news papers and played on local radio stations, and now wants to further their reach on the West Coast. Their inspiration derived mainly from the early post-hardcore music and mixed with their early roots of jazz, has gained a reputation of being “an original sound”. The music being the main focus of the band was given a window of experimentation, grounded rhythmically with diverse bass and drums, along with coordinated ambient guitars and the voices of virtually every member in the band. Aided with the help of their front man Tyler Mansfield, Apollo self recorded their first album the “Apollo EP", which included six songs, and two instrumentals. After they had built an aesthetic, coining the Apollo “A” as their symbol, and releasing many self made design made by Sam Duell(Dead Sea Design), the band sought the business help of management. Having recently been taken in by Monolith Management the band hopes that their so far hard work will pay off in their next album that is currently untitled. The new album is, says the band, "better the anything we have written and will show our true colors."
Members:
Tyler Mansfield (Vocals)
Sam Duell (Guitar/Vocals)
Justin Sweet (Guitar)
Scott Mecum (Bass)
Anthony Hatzel (Drums/Vocals)
Luke Sanchez (Bass)
Chris Krajewski (Bass/Vocals)
Their full-length album 'We Must Be Feeling The Full Moon' was released in 2013, featured 11 songs and a much more unorthodox approach to writing, making it Apollo's first real full length album. Before this they released a self-titled EP in late 2010 and an EP in 2011 called 'Lighthouse'.
3) Apollo was fronted as one of the young and hopeful Norwegian hip-hop artists when he released his debut album. This was when Norwegian rap was relatively new (at least successfully) and many believed his flow would make Apollo the most successful in time. Unfortunately he waited many years before releasing his second album and never quite reached the top. His albums are considered good ones, though he didn't make the hall of fame. He's maybe biggest hit was the sample of Janicke "J-Diva"'s "Svake Mennesker".
4) Apollo is an alias of Megara vs. DJ Lee.
5) Apollo is a new Danish rock act from Copenhagen rising up from the underground. The band has just returned from Varispeed Studios in Sweden where they recorded the first half of their coming debut album. The second half will be recorded in April, and the album is due out in September '09. But in the meantime there is a limited edition EP - "Songs From the Night and Songs For Tonight" - that has been out since February '09.
5) Apollo is an alias of Luke Knight (We Were Ravens, Methuselah). Apollo releases tend to center around the construction of deep, spacious, and hypnotic drones and soundscapes.
6) Apollo Indie Dance / Post Punk band from Ballarat, Australia. They Began mid 2009 when two kids decided to constructively channel their boredom in the form of melodic sound. After a short period of time another two gentlemen were thrown in the mix, unearthing a distinct sound from which Apollo were born. Remaining hidden for the best part of their first year as a band, the Apollo team steadily brewed a unique mix of dance, post-punk & pop, as well as shooting the odd hoop or two. 2010 saw Apollo finally break out onto the local scene, turning a few heads with some demo tracks and a high energy live show. Now with some experience under their belt and some ambition in their heads Apollo have a long and winding path in front of them. Apollo were added to the Grovin the Moo festival line up in 2010, Bendigo leg and shared the stage with acts such as Silverchair, Tegan and Sara, Grinspoon, Spoon, Howl and many more.
7) APOLLO is a 21 year old singer/songwriter, born and raised in Long Island, NY. Heavily influenced by the sounds of pop and R&B music, APOLLO creates a sound that captures the experience of young, queer, Black man navigating romance, heartbreak and the fragility of one's ego.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah Where we’re not allowing boyfriends Yeah
But i’m sure you’ll have some options
Yeah
No i’m not the one for talking Yeah
I been Living out all of my visions
I must be trippin off all these prescriptions
Why? Must I do this to myself
I Been thinkin and I been Drinkin
I see dead niggas every weekend
Ghost Dancin in her pants bout to take her soul
Bring my love back to life cause my heart is cold
Yeah
You can be who you wanna be
I don’t need your apologies
Baby Get up in that circle and just dance tonight
Sippin on that purple you gon prance tonight
I’m so fucking tired of all your outside bullshit
I’m tired of people fucking doubting me
All the time
All I ever asked for was the ability to be myself
So throughout this I just ask that you take the time to step back and stop fucking worrying about me for a second
All the doubts that you put on me
Every negative thought that you have of me
You can hear me for what I have to say
But if you don’t i’m not gonna beg you to listen
But if you are choosing to stay then I would like to take the time to welcome you to The Ghost Dance
It’s a whole lotta hoes in the hotel lobby Trynna find me
But for right now you right beside me
It’s a hot girl summer so you came to party
Wanna drive the boat drinkin all the Bacardi
Welcome to the ghost dance gather round and grab a friend
Everybody hold hands
We’ll never reach the ground before it ends
I know you want you a star
But I ain’t like them other ones I shine the brightest
Diamonds with the white gold I got the Midas
But it’s a secret that you gotta know I can’t deny it
No I can’t deny it
A lot of hoes a lot of meds out on my ends
A lot of bread a lot of m’s out of my friends
Showin you how we live welcome to the ghost dance
In the song "Dance" by Apollo, the artist starts by welcoming listeners to the "Ghost Dance," where it appears that he is trying to distance himself from any romantic interests. In the course of the song, he acknowledges that he has been living out his visions and that he is "trippin off all these prescriptions." The artist seems to be struggling with his personal demons, and he tenderly urges his partner to dance with him as a way of escaping reality. He repeats the phrase "welcome to the ghost dance" throughout the song, inviting those who listen to the song to join his dance of solitude.
On the surface, the song may seem like a typical hip-hop song, but it has much deeper connotations. It reveals the artist's introspective nature and how his mind wanders in and out of reality. Apollo acknowledges that he has been drinking and seeing ghosts every weekend. The line "I see dead niggas every weekend" might hint at his substance abuse or the idea that he has lost something precious in his life. The artist seems to be reminding his listeners that despite his success, he still struggles with his inner demons. Apollo's use of metaphorical language indicates that he is trying to communicate something profound about his experiences and feelings.
The song's title, "Dance," is ironic because the artist is not asking his listeners to dance physically but to escape from the mundane and into the spiritual world of the "Ghost Dance." It's a song about finding a connection with oneself and the world at large. Apollo is telling his listeners to leave their everyday troubles behind and join him in his struggle. The song gives listeners a glimpse into the artist's mind and struggles, which is rare in today's music industry, where most artists are concerned with creating a perfect image.

We've been together yesterday

At the right time you'll be mine
And our love will always shine
Tell me when will you be mine
Dance, will you dance with me all night
Your arms will hold me tight

I've always loved you from the start
At the right time you'll be mine
And our love will always shine
Baby say that you'll be mine
