2) Black & White is an eurodance project from Italy, which was arranged and produced by Massimo Traversoni & Roberto Calzolari.
Singles: "Do You Know?" (1994)
3) Australian rock band:
When seminal Philip Island prog rock band The Format dissolved in 2003 under the mounting pressure of physical injuries and a constantly shifting line-up, vocalist Ant Lewis and drummer Steve Alexander weren’t prepared to return to earth just yet. With an advanced pedigree that had seen them support Sunk Loto, perform a stunning acoustic set live on Triple M and appear at the Pyramid Rock festival, the choice was clear: a new band, a new direction, and great hair.
Fast-forward five years later and they’ve finally returned – older, wiser, better dressed – as Black & White. Together with the live line up of guitarist Rohan Stevenson and drummer Shane Russel, what began as a tentative studio project has now blossomed into a world-class act that sharpens their powerfully accessible melodic blade with a sizzling electronic edge. With catchy, big, driving tunes, there is enough here to get anyone moving. Whether it be the irrepressible hooks of first single And Then Some, the breathless pace of I Still Care or the chugging riffage of Summer Sun, Black & White ironically polarise no-one.
With their debut album The New Republic slated for an early 2010 release, Black & White aren’t so much poised for success as unbuttoning their top-buttons and fast approaching it on the back of masterfully crafted modern songs that speak for themselves.
4) British rock band:
Black & White is a young four piece rock band from Epsom, Surrey, England. The band members are: Matt Lamb - Guitar & Vocals, Ed Price - Bass & back up vocals, Henry Bird- Guitar, and Guy Allison - Drums. Formed in the summer of 2006, Black & White write and perform their own orginal songs and their musical influances include many bands from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine to Mötley Crüe and Guns 'n' Roses.
Frame By Frame
Black & White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the point of trust
If I can't show you
What's the point of holding you up
How do you come for me
Then try to comfort me
In the middle of the street
I feel safe then you speak
In my lowest days
You seem the farthest away
You're telling people that I'm insane
but you know that you built the frame
I can't let you touch me
Keep your hands where they are
I'm better off watching you
When I'm bound to unfixable flaws
In my lowest days
Somebody's taking my place
You sat beside me
A flash in the high beams
We crash on a path we embraced
I know that you built the frame
A picture where you signed your name
Oh too many days without you
Don't look away got your chance to
Run till you pass out
You paint yourself half out
One time to remind us to wait
Oh we go talk in the back house
See ourselves hang in the background
Part of the scene
Not a detail to me
I know you know, know what it means
Forever's such a long time
That's what you said
Nobody warned me
You'd leave me fast asleep on the bench
You were my favorite mornings
Now the sun don't come round like it did
And what a beautiful story
Who knew it would come to such an end
The lyrics of "Frame By Frame" by Black & White seem to explore themes of trust and betrayal within a relationship. The singer questions the point of trust if they cannot communicate and show their true selves. They express a sense of safety in the middle of the street, but that safety is shattered when their partner speaks. There is a sense of vulnerability and frustration as they cannot understand why their partner would come to them only to try and comfort them.
In their lowest moments, the singer feels a distance between themselves and their partner. It is revealed that their partner has been spreading rumors about their mental state, despite being the one who has influenced and constructed the narrative ("you know that you built the frame"). There is bitterness and a refusal to let their partner touch them, wanting to keep them at a distance. Despite recognizing their own flaws, they believe they are better off watching their partner from afar.
The lyrics continue to depict a sense of longing and replacement, as someone else takes the singer's place during their lowest days. They remember a moment when their partner sat beside them, but it is overshadowed by a crash and a path they embraced, presumably representing the destructive nature of their relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner has been instrumental in creating the framework of their story, even signing their name within it.
The final verses depict a sense of loss and longing. The singer speaks of too many days without their partner, emphasizing the absence they feel. They long for their partner to not look away, as they are given a chance to run and escape. The imagery of painting oneself halfway out and being a part of the scene but not a detail suggests a feeling of being included but not truly seen or understood. The singer reflects on the beautiful story they once had, only to be faced with an unexpected and unfortunate end.
Overall, "Frame By Frame" portrays a relationship marred by trust issues, betrayal, and a sense of loss. The lyrics depict the complexities and emotions experienced within the dynamics of a broken connection.
Line by Line Meaning
And if I can't tell you
If I am unable to communicate with you
What's the point of trust
Then there is no purpose in having trust
If I can't show you
If I cannot demonstrate to you
What's the point of holding you up
Then there is no point in supporting you
How do you come for me
Why do you approach me
Then try to comfort me
And then attempt to console me
In the middle of the street
While we are in a public place
I feel safe then you speak
I feel secure until you start speaking
In my lowest days
During my most difficult times
You seem the farthest away
You appear to be the most distant
You're telling people that I'm insane
You are spreading the word that I am crazy
but you know that you built the frame
But deep down, you are aware that you created the situation
I can't let you touch me
I cannot allow you to make physical contact with me
Keep your hands where they are
Please keep your hands in their current position
I'm better off watching you
I am better off observing you
When I'm bound to unfixable flaws
Considering my inherent, irreparable imperfections
Somebody's taking my place
Someone is replacing me
You sat beside me
You used to sit next to me
A flash in the high beams
A sudden burst in bright lights
We crash on a path we embraced
We collide on a journey we willingly undertook
I know that you built the frame
I am aware that you constructed the framework
A picture where you signed your name
A representation where you left your mark
Oh too many days without you
Oh, there have been too many days without you
Don't look away got your chance to
Don't avert your gaze, you had your opportunity to
Run till you pass out
Escape until you collapse
You paint yourself half out
You depict yourself halfway removed
One time to remind us to wait
One occasion to serve as a reminder to be patient
Oh we go talk in the back house
Oh, we will have a conversation in private
See ourselves hang in the background
We observe ourselves hanging in the background
Part of the scene
An integral component of the situation
Not a detail to me
But not something insignificant to me
I know you know, know what it means
I am aware that you understand the significance
Forever's such a long time
Eternity is an extensive duration
That's what you said
Those were your words
Nobody warned me
No one cautioned me
You'd leave me fast asleep on the bench
You would abandon me while I am deeply unconscious on the seat
You were my favorite mornings
You used to be the most cherished part of my mornings
Now the sun don't come round like it did
Now the sun doesn't appear as it used to
And what a beautiful story
What a splendid narrative
Who knew it would come to such an end
It is astonishing how it concluded like this
