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.
Who Are You?
Loose Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just saw you saying I want to take you home
Your beauty was deceiving and I was in the Twilight?s Zone
Well, you didn't like my parties and then there was my friends
At first I tried to please you but then there was no end
If it's good enough for me, they're good enough for you too
Who are you? Are you
You get so intoxicated that you find it hard to see
And then you tell me stories, are they purely fantasy?
What I don't understand just why you play these games with me?
If you don't get tobacco you think the world has stopped
You're pacing up and down like an Alfred Hitchcock plot
I've come to the conclusion that you could not be worse for me
For you, yes me
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Are you
Tell me who?
Tell me who?
Just tell me who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Are you
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Are you
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you?
The song "Who Are You?" by Loose Ends talks about the confusion and frustration in a relationship with someone who is not who they seem. The lyrics start off with the singer regretting not noticing that the person they were interested in was alone before approaching them. The singer then goes on to describe how the person's beauty was deceiving and that they were in the Twilight Zone, indicating a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The next verse talks about how the person did not like the singer's parties and friends, and while the singer tried to please them, it was never enough. The chorus then asks repeatedly "Who are you?", suggesting that the person is not being honest about who they are.
The second verse talks about how the person gets intoxicated and tells stories that may or may not be true, leading the singer to question their honesty. The verse then talks about how the person gets agitated without tobacco, pacing around like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The last line of the verse states that the singer has come to the conclusion that the person is not good for them.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of bewilderment and confusion in a relationship where the other person's true identity is unknown. The repeated questioning of "Who are you?" emphasizes the uncertainty and doubt in the singer's mind.
