A really catchy, quirky, and perhaps slightly humorous band name, still hadn't been found. It should contain a tiny element of mystery too, they thought, to get their potential fans racking their brains: “Blind Freddy”, a band name was born! The young band with the classic line up of 2 Guitars, Bass and Drums has an average age of just 19, so its hard to believe that these newcomers can sound this adult, so professional and polished. The band sound,extremely hard to define in words, must simply be heard.Containing elements of Rock, Brit-Pop, Funk and Blues all interwoven into tasty original arrangements is garanteed to leave you asking for more and keep you moving way past the last number. Lead Singer-Guitarist Michael Spieler (18) convinces audiences from the first note with his 12 year singing experience and classical education. His slightly raw, but warm and sexy sounding voice reminds listeners of a cocktail mixed with John Lennon and Kurt Cobain. The driving force behind Michael is a rhythm section that puts the song grooves right in the pocket. Bassist, Philipp Schwend (21) and Drummer Timothy Lush(18) fullfill the task with passion and power.Lead Guitarrist Kerim Öke provides the rest, the riffs, melodies and harmonies.All four contribute equally to the song writing process, Lush and Spieler are lyricists for the band. In November 2009 the band released their first EP, “Try it” and celebrated with 350 screaming fans in the Munich cult club 59:1. Simultaneously their debut music video, produced in the famous Bavaria Film Studios to the song “ Try it”,was premiered to the surprised and overwhelmed crowd. Meanwhile all four boys have almost completed their high school diplomas as well as continued to perform in clubs and fesitivals in the south German scene. By autumn 2010 the band had recorded 14 new original songs in LXK Studios, a well- known recording studio and the product, their new CD, is expected to put the band where it belongs....

UP ALL NIGHT
Blind Freddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I’m thinking in circles
I’m Moving like in a circus
My body is addicted to you
All day and when I sleep
When I’m dreaming of you
I feel gorgeous, oh I am a fool
Why can’t it stop?
You are the reason my life is in trouble today

But I don’t care if it was right to kiss you
Every minute, we stood up all night
There are strange things in my mind lately
And I ‘m afraid
that this is just an illusion
An Illusion, An Illusion

I keep on watching your body
I hope you enjoyed my party
Of that i can be sure
Cause you’re still here with me
You keep me under control
Yeah i feel it, oh my poor soul
But I accept, accept my bad conscience
To get the treatment, I need

But I don’t care if it was right to kiss you
Every minute, we stood up all night
There are strange things in my mind lately
And I‘m afraid
that this is just an illusion

An Illusion, An Illusion

Now i need a moment for me
I tried to keep them away
The things you call bad vibrations

And if you need a moment for you




I’ll try to keep them alive
The senses you gave me last night

Overall Meaning

Blind Freddy's song "Up All Night" portrays the consequences of being addicted to someone, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics convey a sense of circular thinking and being caught in a never-ending cycle - "thinking in circles", "moving like in a circus". The singer's body is so addicted to the object of their affection that they think about them all day and dream of them at night. However, this obsession also makes them feel like a fool and they can't help but wonder why they can't stop.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer's life is in trouble because of this addiction - "You are the reason my life is in trouble today". Despite this, the singer doesn't care if it was right to kiss the object of their affection, implying that they are willing to do anything to keep them close. The fear of this being an illusion is constantly present, highlighting the fragility of their situation.


The second verse suggests that the singer is hosting a party but is mainly focused on the person they are addicted to - "I keep on watching your body". They acknowledge the destructive nature of this addiction - "You keep me under control, yeah I feel it, oh my poor soul" - but accept their bad conscience and the need for treatment.


Overall, "Up All Night" showcases the highs and lows of being addicted to someone and the struggle to break free from that addiction.
