Their style is best described as alternative/pop which is rooted in a strong acoustic sound that allows them to hit the stage in a manner that is energetic and musicall...y entertaining. Utilizing the violin and other stringed instruments brings an orchestral depth to the already electric-acoustics of the alternative band. Inspired by many of their favorite bands and artists, each member has polished their specific talents and abilities when blended together yields a warm, unique sound that seems to speak for itself.
Double or Nothing has spent their time practicing and writing songs for their first full-length album, “Silhouettes Fade,” a CD that is versatile in its overall sound that speaks great volumes of its creativity and composition. With songs like “Star Gazing” and “She,” that capture the sweet feelings of summer infatuation, to the lamentable “When You're Gone” and “This Bottle,” these songs cover a wide scale of emotional intensity that anyone can relate to and identify with. Nick Whitesides states: “Our priority as a band was never to get famous or make money. We all love music and enjoy creating something people can value, and become connected to.”
Without a doubt, the music of Double or Nothing will leave you with a sense of excitement that is somehow familiar, yet refreshingly innovative that is appealing to anyone.
Next to Me
Double Or Nothing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you near
Lying in my bed, I barely move my head
I'm waiting for you
I know we're miles apart
You still hold my heart in your hands...
I need you here, to calm my fears
Breathe without you hear with me
I need you more than I have before
I can't sleep without you next to me
Breathe without you here with me
Letters here and there...
Words make it easier to bare
Your voice is heavenly
I close my eyes and you're all that I see
I know that we're miles apart
And you still hold my heart in your hands
I need you here, to calm my fears
I can't sleep without you next to me
Breathe without you hear with me
I need you more than I have before
I can't sleep without you next to me
Breathe without you here with me
I would wait forever just to hold you
I would give my life just to say;
I need you here, to calm my fears
I can't sleep without you next to me
Breathe without you hear with me
I need you more than I have had before
I can't breathe without you here with me
Sleep without you next to me
I need you here
To calm my fears
I can't sleep without you next to me
Next to me...
