In the years that followed, the band was separated geographically, while Fabian pursued an Architecture degree at the University of Florida and Daniel left Florida to attend Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nonetheless, during this period, Boyce Avenue assembled at every available opportunity to collaborate musically. It was not until October of 2004 and the subsequent months, however, that Boyce Avenue would really come into its own. Daniel, who had recently graduated from law school, reconnected with the band in Florida as its full-time bassist, and Alejandro, at the age of 18, launched into writing the band's first original song, "Find Me." In the following months, the band performed locally in its hometown of Sarasota, and in April of 2005, the band hit the stage at Pine View High School for the last time. The band's performance at the Mr. Pine View competition, an event which Alejandro would go on to win, was covered in the local press.
Upon Alejandro's graduation from high school, he joined Fabian at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, where the band refined its signature sound playing out in traditional venues like Market Street and Side Bar. In October of 2006 and the months that followed, the band recorded its first three singles at Nickel and Dime Studios near Atlanta, Georgia. The project was engineered by Kris Sampson (Train, the Black Crowes) and produced by Don McCollister (Sister Hazel, Third Day). In 2007 and 2008, Boyce Avenue was honored in several songwriting competitions judged by a host of accomplished and renowned music industry artists, professionals, and executives. The band qualified as a Southeast Semifinalist in the 2007 IMWS competition; "All The While" was selected as a Semi-Finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition, and as one of twelve Lennon Award Winners in the 2007 John Lennon Songwriting Contest; "Find Me" was selected as a Finalist in the Pop category for the U.S.A. Songwriting Competition; and "Hear Me Now (piano acoustic)" was selected as a finalist in the Best Group/Duo category for the IAMA songwriting competition, and as a finalist in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition.
Focused on the completion of a debut album, Boyce Avenue took a hiatus from its public performance schedule to write, produce, and record additional singles. In July of 2007, the band returned to Atlanta, Georgia, this time to record three songs at the Electron Gardens Studio in the historic Biltmore Hotel. These songs were engineered by Gary Pfaff and Tim Delaney, and were produced by Boyce Avenue. In October of the same year, the band finished tracking for the debut album with the recording of two songs at RMP Studios in Orlando, Florida. The final three songs for the album, "Dare To Believe," "On My Way," and "Hear Me Now (piano acoustic)" were engineered at RMP Studios by Veit Renn (Jennifer Hudson) and Adam Barber (Creed, Shinedown, Alterbridge), and were produced by Boyce Avenue.
The debut album, titled “All You’re Meant To Be,” was released by Boyce Avenue on March 25, 2008. All of the songs were mixed by Austin Deptula (Eisley, New Found Glory), and the entire project was mastered by Rodney Mills (Pearl Jam, REM, Sheryl Crow). The physical album is available worldwide exclusively through Storenvy, while the download versions can be found on iTunes/Amazon.com/Rhapsody/Napster/eMusic. Since the album's release, it has been written about in CNN Money, the Kings of A&R, and in other press, its songs have been featured on various MTV shows, and the band has established itself as one of the top 8 Artists of All-Time on YouTube, with over 90 million hits. Most recently, "All You're Meant To Be" has been licensed for sale nationwide in the Philippines through MCA Music, and is on path to Gold status. On the strength of the band's touring success in the United States and the Philippines, the band launched a worldwide tour in 2009.
One More Night
Boyce Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, oh oh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
You and I go on at each other like we're going to war
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slamming the door
You and I get so damn dysfunctional we start keeping score
You and I get sick, yeah I know that we can't do this no more
But baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
Now you're stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, coming back to you
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Try to tell you no, but my body keeps on telling you yes
Try to tell you stop, but your lipstick's got me so out of breath
I'll be waking up in the morning, probably hating myself
I'll be waking up inner satisfied, guilty as hell
But baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
And I stop using my head, using my head, let it all go
Now you're stuck on my body, on my body, like a tatoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid, coming back to you
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you
And I stop using my head, using my head, let it all go
My truth stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo
Yea, yeah, yeah...
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
The song “One More Night” by Boyce Avenue is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks about the complexity of relationships. The opening lines suggest that the two people in the relationship are constantly at each other's throats and are engaging in a sort of internal battle. They keep fighting and throwing things at each other, creating a dysfunctional environment. It seems like they’re keeping score of who is wrong and who is right, but they finally realise that they can't continue like this anymore. However, no matter how many times they try to let go of each other, they keep coming back, falling in love again.
The chorus is one of the most prominent parts of the song, where the singer cross his heart and hopes to die that he'll only stay with his partner one more night. He acknowledges that he's said it a million times but still finds himself struggling to let go. The next verses suggest that his body is telling him to stay, but his mind is telling him otherwise. He knows he'll regret it in the morning, but he can't help himself.
The lyrics of "One More Night" suggest an internal battle between the heart and mind, where the heart always wins. The singer knows the relationship is not good for him, but he can't resist the attraction his partner holds. The song is a relatable depiction of how complex and confusing love can be.
