1) Formed by Oliver “Oligee” Goldstein and Vaughn "U-Tern" Oliver, Oliver have found the beating heart inside the dance machine. Whether moving bodies at the world's biggest electronic festivals, or hand-crafting digital gems in the studio, the producer / DJ duo of U-Tern and Oligee are responsible for some of the funkiest, toughest, and most diverse dance music today.
After spending years writing, producing, DJing and digging for vinyl, U-Tern and Oligee linked up in LA to forge something groundbreaking. They took their shared '80s baby tastes - relentlessly groovy R&B, boombox worthy hip-hop, soaring electropop hooks - and mashed them together in remixes for everyone from Chromeo and Foster The People to Breakbot and techno godfather Juan Atkins. Original jams like "All Night" and "Dirty Talk" (supported by dance music luminaries like Alan Braxe and Busy P) took Oliver's back-to-the-future sound even further, while high-powered collaborations with A-Trak ("Disco Nap") and Destructo ("LA Funky") brought the duo to the festival circuit, where they kept hands in the air all summer.
With the release of their Fool's Gold EP Mechanical, Oliver push their hybrid sound to even funkier new horizons. The stadium worthy opener "MYB" perfectly segues into the moody strut of “Night Is On My Mind,” before shifting gears with the hands-in-the-air ecstasy of “Control” and riding off into the sunset on the title track’s cinematic pulse. With non-stop DJ sets on deck (complete with Oligee's live keyboard riffs) and even more new music, there's no telling where the beats will take them next. "Oliver is all over the map," says U-Tern. "But we're going to have a good time no matter what."
2) Born in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, William Oliver Swofford began singing as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the early 1960s. He was a member of two music groups: The Virginians and, later, The Good Earth.
Oliver's clean-cut good looks and soaring baritone were the perfect vehicle for his July 1969 #3 single "Good Morning Starshine", from the pop-rock musical Hair. In October 1969 Oliver reached #2 with Rod McKuen's melodious ballad "Jean", the theme from the Oscar-winning film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Oliver performed both hits on a number of TV variety shows and specials in the late 1960s, including the Ed Sullivan Show. Later recordings had much less commercial success: "Sunday Mornin'" peaked at #35 in December 1969, and "Angelica" stalled at #97 in April 1970. His follow-up "I Can Remember" from July 1970 missed the Hot 100.
Despite his vocal talents, Oliver could not sustain more hits and he later made a career in business. A short-lived attempt to team up with Karen Carpenter in the late 1970s was unsuccessful. In 1983, People magazine ran a feature article on Oliver, describing a happily married father who kept his distance from the music business. In the late 1990s Oliver was diagnosed with cancer, and he died in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the same date that Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Charles Schulz, and Tom Landry all died.
3) The Belgian Singer is the representative of Belium in Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song 'Shup Up'. He won Junior EuroSong 2008 in Belgium which gained him the ticket to Limassol in November 2008 to represent his nation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
4) The Romanian rock band's story begins in 2005, when after four years marked by major member changes, the band 41 shed its skin to reveal what we know today as Oliver: four experienced musicians who are not afraid to experiment, mercilessly blending their uncensored ideas into music. Oliver oozes passion, energy, poetry and the band spares no efforts in making live shows a real treat. And if you’re confused about their lyrics, this might mean you understand them.(Doru Puscasu - vocals, Mircea Moroianu - guitar, Horia Gridan - bass, Mihai Zorca - drums)
5) Born in Hong Kong. Formerly vocalist and guitarist from the band Little Beautiful Brand and becoming a solo singer-song-writer now.

Here For You
Oliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More worthy to be your lover
I would cross the seven seas
To be the man down on his knees
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
If you felt a disconnection
In between our love's affection
I would spend eternity
To show you what you mean to me
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
Darling tell me that you're listening
I can't just keep reminiscing
'Bout the times and memories we've made
If you didn't have the hours
I'd still come and bring you flowers
Sell my house and lands and things
To buy you one big diamond ring
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
If you really didn't want me
Even though my feelings haunt me
I would stand out on the rim
So you could spend your days with him
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
The lyrics of Oliver's song "Here For You" convey a deep sense of devotion and unconditional love. The song speaks to a strong commitment to a partner, expressing the willingness to go above and beyond for their happiness. The singer acknowledges the possibility of being left for someone else, but instead of becoming bitter or resentful, they declare their willingness to cross any barrier or sacrifice anything to be the one who supports their partner, even if it means being on their knees.
The lyrics also explore the theme of reconnecting with love. The singer recognizes the potential for a disconnection in their relationship and promises to spend an eternity demonstrating their love and reminding their partner of their significance. It emphasizes the importance of trying to reignite the flame of love and refusing to let go without a fight. The plea for the partner to listen implies a desire to communicate and work through any issues that may arise.
The last verse delves into a hypothetical scenario wherein the partner no longer desires the singer's presence. Despite the heartache this would cause, the singer pledges to selflessly step aside so their partner can be happy, even if it means watching them spend their days with someone else.

If you left me for another
If you chose someone else over me
More worthy to be your lover
Someone who is considered better suited to be your partner
I would cross the seven seas
I would go to great lengths and travel far
To be the man down on his knees
To humble myself and beg for your love
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
I am always available and committed to you
If you felt a disconnection
If you sensed a lack of emotional bond
In between our love's affection
In the midst of the love we share
I would spend eternity
I would devote an infinite amount of time
To show you what you mean to me
To demonstrate the immense value you hold in my life
Darling tell me that you're listening
My dear, please acknowledge that you are paying attention
I can't just keep reminiscing
I can no longer continue living in the past and reminiscing about our memories
'Bout the times and memories we've made
About the moments and experiences we have shared
If you didn't have the hours
If you were unavailable
I'd still come and bring you flowers
I would still make an effort to bring you joy and show my affection
Sell my house and lands and things
I would be willing to sacrifice my material possessions
To buy you one big diamond ring
To purchase a precious symbol of my commitment to you
If you really didn't want me
If you genuinely did not desire me
Even though my feelings haunt me
Despite the lingering pain caused by my emotions
I would stand out on the rim
I would place myself at the edge, exposed and vulnerable
So you could spend your days with him
So you could choose to be with someone else
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
I am devoted to you, no matter what
Oh yeah, I'm here for you
I will always be by your side

@UncleFuzzy420
I am 78 years-old (an old garage band guitarist from the 60s) and I was looking for a video to express my feelings about what our local (west coast of Florida) weather forecast is. I initially thought , "here we go again", and I remembered songs with that title, most of which I found to be romantic break-up songs. Then I hit on this one. Not only is it a great expression of my feelings, but the guy in the red glasses stole all my dance moves. Love it...just love it! You guys rock!
@fretstain
what kind of guitar were you rocking?
@UncleFuzzy420
@@fretstain Started with a Silvertone (from Sears-Roebuck) I bought from a friend for $40; graduated to a Fender Stratocaster in '61 (cost about $260); then traded it in and upgraded to a candy apple red Jazzmaster in '64, which I ultimately sold (along with a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp) to Bill Bartlett, lead guitarist for The Lemon Pipers in 1968, when I graduated from college. Played acoustics (Martin and Ovation) for the next 50+ years until 2021, when I "replaced" my original sunburst Stratocaster with an American Ultra Strat and a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb just for fun. My grandson is now the guitarist in the family and is studying Guitar Performance at Berklee College of Music.
