Formed in 2003, One Night Only started out as a bunch of school friends ‘just making noise’ in their rural hometown of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. They went on to spend the following two years tearing the vaulted roof off the local scene with unrefined gigs showcasing punk bastard pop way beyond their tender years. It was only a matter of time before One Night Only broke out of Helmsley. They knuckled down, wrote some songs and last October Steve Lamacq began spinning the demo of ‘You And Me’, prompting the band to really take themselves seriously. One Night Only signed to Vertigo, home of Razorlight and The Killers and then hit the road for months, supporting The Enemy, Milburn and The Coral and embarked on a jaunt around the nation’s Club NMEs. They are currently on their first headline tour.
They became popular in the Netherlands when the song "Just for Tonight" was used in the tv show "Studio Sport" to accompany the highlights of Euro Football 2008. On the Last night of the Euro Football 2008 they played an Acoustic Version of 'Just for Tonight' in the Studio of 'Studio Sport'
Bring Me Back Down
One Night Only Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is your tired blue eyes that follow me 'round
Dressed in white, starting to shine
My head is full of a beautiful sound
Lights stands round us, the face is love
And the sound shall slow
All that I want is you
Bring me back down wherever you are
All that I want is you
Watch her move so slow, move so slow
Bring me back down
All I need to bring me back down
Girl, pull on the ropes, said, I'm safe on the ground
Lights stands round us, the face is love
And the sound shall slow
Bring me back down wherever you are
All that I want is you
Bring me back down wherever you are
'Cause all that I want is you
Watch her move so slow, move so slow
Bring me back down
Bring me back down wherever you are
All that I want is you
Bring me back down wherever you are
All that I want is you
Watch her move so slow, move so slow
Bring me back down

The opening lines, "All I want to bring me back down, is your tired blue eyes that follow me 'round", portray the idea of longing for that special someone who can help bring a sense of calm and serenity to the chaos around.
The lyrics further continue to describe the beauty of the moment, with the lines "Dressed in white, starting to shine, my head is full of a beautiful sound". It seems like the person is in a state of euphoria, experiencing the world in a completely different light, now that they have someone to share it with.

The chorus "Bring me back down wherever you are, all that I want is you" reinforces the idea that the person seeks solace and peace in the presence of their partner.
