1)Ours is an American based musical group led by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Gnecco. Signed to Dreamworks in 1997 Ours' first record 'Distorted Lullabies' was released in 2001 and produced by Steve Lillywhite and Gnecco. Their follow-up record 'Precious' was produced by Ethan Johns and was released in 2002. For their third record they would sign with Rick Rubin's label American Records. Gnecco teamed up with the production genius of Rick Rubin for 2008’s release ‘Mercy’ (Columbia/American). In 2010, Gnecco released his highly anticipated self-produced first solo acoustic effort, ‘The Heart’ and followed it in 2011 with the release of ‘The Heart: X Edition’ in which Gnecco built upon the intimacy of his solo album with a lush full band version of the record. OURS finds new ways of creating modern masterpieces by following up ‘Mercy’ with a re-inspired and resurgent self-produced release ‘Ballet the Boxer 1’ in 2013. The new album builds upon the moody, soulful and epic sound captured on ‘Mercy,' but with a greater sense of urgency that transcends the music’s emotional pitch.
Ours and Gnecco have received worldwide acclaim from critics and fans for their live shows and for Gnecco's dynamic voice and songwriting style, and both have developed a cult-like following that continues to grow.

Ours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We start the things that feel
Out back
The drunken waters still frown on me
If we beat him down will he stay?
He's a little dizzy
And I feel it's starting to take me
I need them now to save me
We fell
When they chose the things that feel
How come we hurt the ones we need?
Lie down and stretch upon the sea
If we beat him down will he stay?
He's a little dizzy
And I feel it's starting to take me
Where did everybody go?
I need them now to save me.
The lyrics to Ours's song Dizzy seem to be describing a feeling of disorientation and confusion. The singer speaks of being "in" - perhaps in a state of vulnerability or openness - and starting "the things that feel," which could refer to following impulses or desires without considering the consequences. The mention of "drunken waters" could suggest feeling at the mercy of chaotic forces or emotions.
The singer seems to be searching for some kind of help or support, wondering where everybody has gone and needing others to "save" him. The lines "How come we hurt the ones we need? / Lie down and stretch upon the sea" suggest a sense of guilt or regret for causing pain to important people in one's life. The repetition of the question "If we beat him down will he stay?" could be a plea for stability or security.
Overall, the lyrics of Dizzy convey a sense of vulnerability, confusion, and need for support. The imagery of water and drowning could also suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed or lost.
