1. One of… Read Full Bio ↴There is at least three bands / artists called Loose Ends.
1. One of the top British dance and urban contemporary trios in the early 1980s, Loose Ends formed in London, United Kingdom. They were originally called Loose End and included Carl McIntosh, Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol. Virgin signed them in 1981, and their début was written by Chris and Eddie Amoo. The group changed its name to Loose Ends in 1983 and signed with MCA in America in 1984. Their single 'Hanging on a String (Contemplating)' topped the R&B charts in 1985, and they repeated that achievement in 1986 with 'Slow Down'. Their last hit was 'Watching You' in 1988, which reached number two. The group shuffled its line-up in 1990 for the release of the album, Look How Long, with McIntosh now joined by Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. McIntosh also produced several artists, notably Caron Wheeler.
2. Formed in Bexley Heath, Kent, United Kingdom, in late 1963, Loose Ends were led by singer Alan Marshall. By the time they landed a semi-residency at the Mayfair club, The Scotch of St. James (in February 1966) the group had signed to Decca. A July 1966 début single ('Send The People Away' b/w 'I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore') while the group's soulful rendition of George Harrison's 'Taxman' curiously came out on 5 August 1966, the same day The Beatles' version came out on their 'Revolver' LP. The band fell apart in the autumn of 1966. Marshall assembled a new Loose Ends (with the aid of a Croydon band called The Subjects), while keyboardist Roy Davies and bassist Dave Collman formed a rival line-up, almost inevitably called New Loose Ends.
3. Loose Ends was an early / mid 1980s influenced hardcore punk band from central New Jersey, NJ. United States. Their first EP, 'Cut Loose', was released in 2011.
Nights Of Pleasure
Loose Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do it now or you may never
Come to see nights of pleasure (ooh oh-oh-oh)
Do it now or you may never
Did you ever think that you could take the strain
That you'd need a change to shake the blues away
Can you understand exactly how I feel
It's your place in time to relax your mind
And find out in life there's more
There's a place in time that is yours or mine
And the stars shine forever more
Come to see nights of pleasure (Come to see)
Do it now, or you may never (Or you will never ooh)
Come to see nights of pleasure (Come to see)
Do it now or you may never (Ooh-oh)
Laying on a hill on a calm cool night
Staring at the moon shining oh so bright
Being with the one that understands your dreams
This is what you need girl to make your life complete now
It's your place in time to enjoy the kind
Of life, you deserve and more
Time to leave behind what you could not find
Then your nights will seem much more umm yeah
Come to see nights of pleasure (Just relax your mind)
Do it now or you may never (Come to see, ooh-wee)
Come to see nights of pleasure (I wanna be the one relaxing you)
Do it now or you may never (Just relax your mind ooh-wee, ooh-o)
Come to see nights of pleasure (We'll talk all night, mmm)
Do it now or you may never (You may never)
Come to see nights of pleasure (We'll be staring at the moon soon)
Do it now or you may never (And let the stars shine)
Come to see nights of pleasure (Laying on the hill, now mmm)
Do it now or you may never
We're gonna shake the blues away
(Until the night turns into day) Come to see nights of pleasure
(Weeks of pleasure) Do it now or you may never
The lyrics to Loose Ends's song Nights of Pleasure highlight the importance of taking a break from the mundanity of life and indulging in leisurely activities. The song encourages listeners to not wait for the opportunity to come by but to create it themselves. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the urgency to come and experience the nights of pleasure because if not done so now, it may never happen.
The verses talk about the need to decompress and shake off the blues. It suggests that sometimes we need to leave everything behind and pretend that it's not real to gain a new perspective on life. The song also encourages listeners to be with someone who understands their dreams and who can make their life complete. It's a call to action to live life to the fullest and find joy in the little things like staring at the moon and letting the stars shine.

Sitting in a supermax prison in the middle of a gang war. I wasn't even in a gang. Loose Ends and this tune made me escape the madness. I was 23 years old. I am free now after 16 years in the cellblocks. Almost a decade in supermax. Praise GOD I am free.
@JheriCurlJankins
You was able to free your mind in the midst of the madness and that's what helped you hold it together. Peace to you for making it through storm. Reach out to some young brothas and sistas and help save them the trip!
