After a couple of succesfull years of live playing, making 2 albums, and winning of several music awards, we released our first full length album at Tinkatone Records, named Paris in 2005. A (by press and audiance) well received album, with beautifull Indie pop songs but also some great electrorock songs. It opened our ways to the radio and the bigger stages in Holland.
They supported Viva la Fete in front of 700 people and played live shows on some national radio shows. They released 3 singles : Like you, Love in Paris and Highspeed Romance witch were adopted by some great dj's in Dutch radio land. Highspeed romance even found its way into the Outlaw 41 which is the nr 1 chart in Holland and stayed there for 5 weeks in a row. And of course they toured Holland and played almost every venue around. In 2006 we went abroad and played several gigs in Germany, Austria, and Czech.
Their latest release is the song : Fill me up. They have only released it on myspace and you can get it for free on http://www.myspace.com/mrloveandthestallions, just press the download button. Fill me up is a preview of the album they are so busy working on at the moment. It will be released in September 2007. This new album, written by all band members and most of it put together in a abandoned majors-house in the middle of nowhere, will represent our own little definition of rock and roll . Musical freedom, Strumming guitars, Electric weirdness, Romance. Tunes to jump around to or tunes to tap your feet gently on the floor on while enjoying your favorite smoke or wine. You will hear some new attitude's.Some radical new lyrical theme's. Choirs . Blasting guitars combined with the violence of the violin freaking out. And yes..you will find some slick catchy tunes, but also some weird, mean one's, as well.... Just music to get you in the mood for more!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round here
Day to day I've been feeling like a play house here
Hop upon a plane to the bay to LA said
I just wanna play wanna build myself a play ground
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round
Day to day to day I've been feeling like I play house
She just wanna go I just wanna come with
All across the world from japan to Paris now
I just wanna play she just got old quick
Still stuck in my ways I just don't know what to say now~
Running and jumping again
Slipping across all the stage
and I think to this day I haven't been a kid
Loving the life that I live, skipping down the greenroom not the hallway
Acting see through I done needed you always~
We could just play house, you could be my spouse maybe
We could just go out, practice mouth to mouth, crazy yeah
I just wanna live like I'm reckless and young~
Tell it by my name I'm too quick to fall in love
Lucky just for us that each day it gets stronger
Went from just a bae to the breath in my lungs
Make me think that I could fly if I jump
Baby really taking number one, yeah
Sorta kinda got me wrapped up in her touch
I'm in luck cause she seem to understand what I want said
I just wanna play wanna build myself a play ground
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round here
Day to day I've been feeling like a play house here
Hop upon a plane to the bay to LA said
I just wanna play wanna build myself a play ground
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round
Day to day to day I've been feeling like I play house
Hop up on a plane to the bay, to LA now
All they ever do is talk
I would rather make 'em gawk like they kids in hallways, yeah
Seeing my rank going up
Making my caste and I'm reeling it all
I see the hoop and I'm ready to ball, yeah
See in the way that I walk
I gotta tall tall tall mountain to climb
And I'll slide down that hill when I want, yeah
I'm from the stars and I'm never goin fall
And I know that one day I'll grow up yeah
But until then
I just wanna play wanna build myself a play ground
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round here
Day to day I've been feeling like a play house here
Hop upon a plane to the bay to LA said
I just wanna play wanna build myself a play ground
You know what they say that it ain't really safe round
Day to day to day I've been feeling like I play house
Hop up on a plane to the bay, to LA now
The lyrics of Mr. Love and the Stallions' song "Playground" express a longing for a carefree and playful existence. The singer desires to create their own safe haven, a playground, where they can escape the realities of their current environment. They acknowledge that their surroundings are not secure or stable, but they aspire to build a place where they can truly be themselves and have fun.
The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment with the daily routines and responsibilities that make the singer feel like they are merely playing a role, stuck in a "play house." They yearn to break free from this monotonous existence and seek adventure elsewhere. The mentioned destinations of the bay and LA represent the allure of new experiences and opportunities that could provide the excitement and escape they crave.
The song also touches on the desire for companionship and the longing to share experiences with someone special. The singer expresses a willingness to accompany someone on their journey and explore the world together. However, they also confess that relationships tend to lose their novelty over time, and they struggle to find the right words to express their feelings.
The second verse highlights the singer's ambition and determination. They dismiss the naysayers and their constant chatter, preferring to impress them with their accomplishments instead. They are focused on their own growth and success, comparing themselves to a basketball player ready to take on the game. The lyrics also allude to the idea that the journey to success may be challenging, but the singer is confident in their abilities and believes they will never fall.
Overall, "Playground" captures the yearning for freedom, adventure, and genuine connections. It reflects the desire to break free from the mundane and construct a world where one can live life to the fullest. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself and not succumbing to societal expectations or pressures.
