2.) Black and Blue are a U.K based punk/hardcore band. They play fast, aggressive hardcore straight from the heart. The band clearly draw influences from bands such as; Boston legends Give Up The Ghost/A.N., Converge, and Count Me Out. This evident in the sound that they create. Its no-nonsense, and it hits hard.
They got back together in early 2009 and have a split 7" coming up with Atlantic Hearts, to be released on Fist In The Air Records. The tour are touring together with Breakup from Germany in September.
3.)Black and Blue is also a sixties garage/psych band.

Black and Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many questions without answers; you lose.
Living life without lesson; you lose.
I'm sleeping next to you.
I have my hands around you,
I have you in my heart,
I feel so close to you.
If my dreams were real.
If my life was a story.
If my dreams were real.
I'd put my arms around you.
If my dreams were real.
I'd put my arms around you.
I'd put my arms around you.
I'd put my arms around you.
(Around you.)
Too many questions without answers.
It's almost better living life without lesson.
So blind to see, that I lost you.
If my last story, you learn.
If my dreams were real.
I'd put my arms around you.
I'd put my arms around you.
I'd put my arms around you. (I'd put my arms…)
I'd put my arms around you. (I'd put my arms…)
I'd put my arms around you. (I'd put my arms…)
I'd put my arms around you. (Around you…)
The lyrics of the song "Looking Back" by Black and Blue seem to question the meaning and purpose of life, wondering why we do the things we do and contemplate the lack of answers to the many questions that arise in our minds. It appears that the song expresses a sense of loss and regret, recognizing that living a life without lessons only leads to losing out on things in life. The lyrics go on to describe the feeling of closeness the singer has to another person, whom they are sleeping next to, and how they wish their dreams were real. The singer reflects on how they would hold the person tightly if their dreams were to come true.
As the song progresses, the lyrics seem to become more contemplative, suggesting that living life without learning lessons only leads to being lost and not seeing what is right in front of you. The lyrics acknowledge that sometimes you only learn from experiences once they have already passed, and you are looking back on them. The singer seems to hope that if their story could teach someone a lesson, it would be to hold on to the people they love.
Overall, the song appears to be a reflection on the past, present, and future, questioning the meaning of life, and contemplating the importance of holding on to those we love.
