The band's second album 'Take Them On, On Your Own' featured several songs ('Generation' and 'US Government') which were critical of the United States' foreign policy and George Bush in particular.
After conflict with their label (Virgin Records), the band was dropped in 2004. Nick Jago left the band at the end of their summer tour in the same year due to "internal conflict".
Following Jago's departure Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been regrouped and recorded the band's third album. With their third record Howl, they added blues, folk and gospel, a la Spiritualized.
In 2005 the band inked a new deal with Echo in the UK, and RCA in the US. Nick Jago also returned to the fold. The band's third album "Howl" was released that same year to widespread critical acclaim. Jago returned after most of the album was recorded but played on "Promise".
"Baby 81" the band's fourth album was released on May 1st, 2007. In June 2008 Nick Jago once again left the touring line-up of the band being replaced by The Raveonettes' touring drummer Leah Shapiro. Nick stated that "...I am fired again and to be honest with you I respect their decision".
However Hayes and Been released a conflicting joint statement that read "Nick won't be joining us for the upcoming European tour, but it's not true that he is fired. We just feel Nick needs time to sort out exactly what he wants right now. His heart and all his energy and attention is on his own solo project and he needs to see that through".
Current:
On January 9, 2013, the band announced via Facebook the name of their seventh album called Specter at the Feast which was released on March 18 in the UK and Europe and on March 19 in USA, Canada and worldwide. It is considered a tribute to Michael Been (The Call), Robert Levon Been's father who died suddenly on tour with BRMC in August 2010.
It received mostly positive reviews; many critics noting that despite the band having been together for some time the album showed a mellower and moodier side with songs such as opener `Firewalker'.
The band made the first single from the record available, a cover of The Call's 1989 hit "Let the Day Begin", for free download on their official website. The decision to record the song was a tribute to Robert's father Michael, who used his experience from The Call to help BRMC before his death in the last couple of years. The single became Q Magazine's track of the day.[6] The band have also released the Let the Day Begin EP for free, consisting of the single and the album track "Returning", made available for streaming on the official website.[7]
On April 8, 2013 it was announced that the band would play at Rock Werchter, the largest rock festival in Belgium.
The band continues to show a willingness to tour despite the obstacles. During the 2013 tour, the organisers of the Harvest festival in Australia decided to abandon the multi-city event, of which BRMC were one of the lead acts, only a few months ahead of the performances. BRMC was the first band to announce it would still visit the country and play its own shows.
Many shows on the 2013/2014 tour have sold out.
BRMC's music/songs have been featured in many films, television programs and video games.

We're all alone
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I know that I can leave your doorstep
Until I know the conversations cold
I'll hide it in the words until I know I
Until I know that I can be alone here
Until I know the consequences known
We're all in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with someone that we can't see
I'll throw you out and bring you back later
Everything I see's a complication
Everyone I known has come and go
I've fallen in the reason for the passion
Everyone needs something for their hands when
When they know they're gonna be alone
We're all in love with something that we can't see
We're all in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with someone that we can't see
I'm looking for something to shout
Something I know I cannot doubt
I'm looking for something to shout
Something I know I cannot doubt
Come on won't help me out
We're all in love with something that we can't see
We're all in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with someone that we can't see
I'm in love without you
I'm in love without you
I'm in love without you
I'm in love without you
We're all in love with something that we can't see
We're all in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with something that we can't see
I'm in love with someone that we can't see
"We're All in Love" is a song by American rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and the lyrics reveal a person's struggle with hidden love. The singer sets the tone for the song as he confesses that he will keep his love a secret until he is ready to leave, until the conversations become cold, and until he knows the possible repercussions of revealing his love. The singer is afraid of exposing his love for someone, and he chooses to keep it locked inside his head until he is ready to confront it. The verse highlights the anxiety that comes with being in love with something that one cannot see or control.
The chorus of the song summarizes the songwriter's overall meaning for the audience. The repetition of the phrase "We're all in love with something that we can't see" points to a broader theme that love is often an enigma. The affirmation reveals that everyone is searching for something to love or someone to love, yet it is hardly ever clear what it is or who that person is. In the first verse, the singer throws out someone or something that he loves but promises to bring it back later. The act of throwing out infers that the singer is trying to deny something that he loves successfully.
The singer is frustrated that even though he longs for someone that he cannot see, he is still searching for something that he can shout about and cannot doubt. Despite the uncertainty of love, the singer affirms that he is in love with someone he cannot see. In conclusion, the lyrics suggest that love is a vague concept, as everyone is searching for something they cannot see.

I'll keep it in my head till I know I

I will dismiss you and later retrieve you
Everything I see's a complication
Every single thing I perceive is a complication
Everyone I known has come and go
Everyone I have known has departed
I've fallen in the reason for the passion
I have discovered the cause of my ardent feelings
Everyone needs something for their hands when
Everyone requires something to occupy their hands when
When they know they're gonna be alone
When they are aware that they will be alone
I'm looking for something to shout
I am seeking something to exclaim loudly
Something I know I cannot doubt
Something that I cannot question
Come on won't help me out
Assistance is required
I'm in love without you
I am in love despite not being with you
