1. Nero say that they're best known for 'Ragga Puffin', but they're possibly being a bit modest here (as they are almost certainly being ironic when they say that the future of DJing is Paris Hilton). They first shot to notoriety - in drum & bass circles anyway - with their 2005 release 'Ragga Puffin' on DJ SS's Formation offshoot Reformed Recordings, a track with an epic intro that would only hint at what was to come from this hugely talented production/DJ duo.
Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray had a No.1 single in the UK with 'Promises' in August this year, and simultaneously held the No.1 album slot in the UK with 'Welcome Reality'. These immense achievements - as well as supporting and remixing Deadmau5 - marked the culmination of Nero morphing from a d&b act through dubstep and into all-conquering EDM.
Dreamy banger 'Innocence', featuring Alana Watson on vocals, was their first big dubstep record on MTA Records, the label run by Chase & Status, another junglist duo who broadened out their palette to embrace other musical styles. And they haven't really looked back, having bigger and bigger hits with 'Me & You', 'Guilt' and then 'Promises' as 2011 progressed.
“The last 12 months have been incredible for us,” Nero tell DJmag. “We've been so lucky to have the chance to DJ around the world and do things like work with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. We can't say thanks enough to fans and those who've supported us.”
2. Nero is a 16 year old rapper based in Harlem, New York. He recently reissued his mixtape under the name Alive & Vibrant: Relive The Moment. This project is a tribute to 90's hip-hop, with Nero reworking classic hip-hop tracks from Black Moon, Craig Mack, Redman, Mobb Deep, Pete Rock and more. It has been featured on such hip-hop blogs as NahRight, illRoots, 2DopeBoyz and more.
3 Alec Empire released the track Youth Against Racism under this name on the split 12" Destroy Deutschland! in '93 (on which he also released tracks under his own name).
4. Nero is also a four-piece alternative rock band from Dublin City, Ireland. They formed in late 1997 and over the past four and a half years have played the Irish club and college circuit to critical acclaim and an ever-increasing fan base. They have played to packed houses in many of Ireland's premier live venues, both North and South of the border, including frequent sell-outs of Dublin's 600 capacity Temple Bar Music Centre. Currently, Nero are in the US for an extended tour. Nero is currently based in San Francisco and touring all around California.
This Way
Nero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you dare change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now, all the time
Say that you'll stay forever this way
Forever and forever that we'll never have to change
Don't move, don't breathe
And promise me
Say you'll stay
Oh, we'll stay this Way
I get afraid
I don't think ahead
Let's just stay this way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere that you are
Say that you'll stay forever this way
Forever and forever that we'll never have to change
Don't move, don't breathe
Don't change, don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
Oh, we'll stay this Way
Don't move don't breathe
Don't change don't leave
Promise me we'll always be
The sky 's so sweet
It's good to me
Promise me we'll always be
The rest is the chorus with the voice over on and off
The lyrics of Nero's song "This Way" evoke a deep sense of attachment and longing to preserve a moment in time. The singer implores their lover not to change a thing so that they can capture the feeling of being together forever. The powerful imagery of wanting to "photograph" their partner with their mind suggests a strong desire for eternal memory and a reluctance to let go of such poignant emotions.
The chorus introduces a sense of fear and vulnerability, with the singer admitting to being afraid of losing this perfect moment. The simple and direct imperative "say that you'll stay forever this way" reveals the singer's anxiety and desire for reassurance that they can hold onto this idyllic moment indefinitely. The lyrics present a romanticized ideal of love as a safe and unchanging haven from the uncertainties of life. The final lines of the song underline the longing for a promise of permanence, "Promise me we'll always be/The sky's so sweet/It's good to me/Promise me we'll always be."
