Da'Ville enjoyed singing so much that he knew from an early age that music would be at the forefront of his career goals. "I once thought that I would become an accountant or a manager for a large corporation, but music influenced me so much that I felt a sense of satisfaction using it as a medium to express my life experiences. In the end, my music became my greatest influence, passion and joy."
After teaming up with the other members of what became known as ARP, they began creating quite a buzz for themselves within the Jamaican reggae dancehall space. Eventually, Da'Ville decided it was time to go solo. In 2001 he signed with Penthouse Records under the management of Donovan Germaine. Here he recorded hit singles such as: "Love Will Show Me the Way,"Cruzin,"My Ego," and "All My Life," which he recorded with then label mate, Marcia Griffiths. "All My Life," was nominated in the 2001 Reggae Soca Awards.
Since leaving Penthouse Records, Da'Ville has continued to create quite an impressive resume. He has recently released a hot new single titled "Can't get over you," on the Fashozy Records label which is catching everyone's attention. This song definitely has the potential to become a number one hit.
His resume includes other hit singles such as: "Gallis," "This is the Feeling," "Banana," "The one for me," and the latest chart topping hits: "Hey Baby," and "In Heaven." Da'Ville's versatility with music allows him to create cool lovers lyrics while still competing in the fast paced world of dancehall. Performing in front of thousands at the Sting Reggae Festival in 2003 and a year later at the Reggae Summer fest in his native Jamaica has seen him sharing stage with Sean Paul, Lady Saw and Bounty Killer.
Da'Ville has also toured parts of Japan and the U.S.A. He is a great singer with his own lover's lyrics and dancehall style that reaches across a broad musical audience. Da'Ville's unique style definitely commands and has converted a whole platoon of fans.
Aside from his vocal abilities, Da'Ville is a great songwriter, composer and producer. He has written most of his songs and has produced several of his singles on the NAP Musiq and Fashozy Record Labels. Da'Ville adds to his credits several music videos and special appearances in television commercials.
Lower Than the Ground
Da'Ville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's c levered I took you for granted
Many nights we shackled we one time
An show you how much you were wanted
Yet I left you in the wilderness
With no one at your side
Oh bee i rather tell you this
I need you in my life
Outside the sky's shine bright
But without you here it feels like it fills with clouds
And if I could erase your pain an have you back
I'll do it without a doubt
And baby when I sleep at night I see you
But I wake up an you not around
And girl I cant take it
Am feeling lower than the ground
I need you here next to me now
I stand there as a open book
Cause baby it's a mystery
When you left mi how much of my prayer too
Am learning to trade ego
Surrender my heart to you
The memories of the night is short
Save me reeblessable
(Outro)
There's no better way to start the day
Than with you right next to me
Without you here am lower than the ground
The ground
The song "Lower Than the Ground" by Da'Ville is a heartfelt ballad about a man who realizes too late that he took his woman for granted and lost her. The lyrics show the regret and pain that he now feels after seeing her suffering alone. The artist starts by admitting that he was foolish enough to take his significant other for granted, and now he realizes how much he needed her in his life. He expresses how empty his life feels without her, comparing it to a sky that feels overcast and cloudy without her by his side. The artist then reveals that he sees her in his dreams but is crushed when he wakes up, and she is not present.
In the chorus, Da'Ville admits that he feels lower than the ground without his love. He talks about how he wishes he could erase her pain because he misses her so much. He reflects on his past behaviors and how much they have affected him. In the end, Da'Ville admits that he needs her back in his life because there is no better way to start his day than with her by his side.

It's c levered I took you for granted
I was foolish to not realize how much you meant to me
Many nights we shackled we one time
We spent many intimate nights together
An show you how much you were wanted
I wish I could have expressed how much I truly loved you
Yet I left you in the wilderness
I abandoned you when you needed me the most
With no one at your side
You were alone and had no one to turn to
Oh bee i rather tell you this
I wish I had told you this before
I need you in my life
I realize now how much I need you
Outside the sky's shine bright
The world looks beautiful from the outside
But without you here it feels like it fills with clouds
But my world is dark without you in it
And if I could erase your pain an have you back
I would do anything to make it up to you and have you back in my life
I'll do it without a doubt
I am certain that I would do anything to win you back
And baby when I sleep at night I see you
You are always on my mind, even in my dreams
But I wake up an you not around
But when I wake up, you are not there
And girl I cant take it
I can't handle the pain of being without you
Am feeling lower than the ground
I am feeling very low and depressed
I need you here next to me now
I need you to be by my side right now
I stand there as a open book
I am completely transparent and honest with you
Cause baby it's a mystery
I am still trying to understand why you left me
When you left mi how much of my prayer too
Your departure affected every aspect of my life, including my faith
Am learning to trade ego
I am learning to let go of my pride
Surrender my heart to you
I am willing to give you my heart completely
The memories of the night is short
The memories of our time together are fading quickly
Save me reeblessable
Save me from my loneliness and pain
