Members… Read Full Bio ↴Planet Funk is an Italian electronic dance musical ensemble.
Members are Sergio Della Monica, Alex Neri, Domenico GG Canu, Marco Baroni, Alex Uhlmann and Alessandro Sommella (the Ghost extra member), in addition to a series of guest singers in collaboration, like Dan Black, Sally Doherty, Raiz and John Graham. Alex Uhlmann joined as the band's latest lead singer in November 2010.
Their first single, "Chase the Sun", reached number five on the UK Singles Chart in 2001.[1] The song has enjoyed a rise in popularity ever since Sky Sports began using it during its coverage of the Professional Darts Corporation's major tournaments. The crowds in the venues are encouraged to chant and sing along to the song during the commercial breaks of matches, and the song has a cult following amongst darts fans. The song is also known to be chanted by supporters at the games of Australian football clubs Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United, as well as being the second half opening theme for the English Football League Championship team, Sheffield Wednesday. English Championship Football team, Watford F.C. also use the song for a goal song after they score a goal.[2] English Super League team Wigan Warriors are known to use the song following a successful drop-kick. The Melbourne spring racing carnival used the song during promotional TV advertisements during the mid to late 2000s.
Their second single, "Inside All the People", reached no. 9 in the Italian singles charts, but did better on the European dance charts. Their third single was "Who Said (Stuck In The UK)" which also gained significant commercial success. Their 2007 single release, "Static", appeared on FIFA 08.
They are also remixers, with their highest-profile work to date being New Order's "Waiting for the Sirens' Call".
In May 2006 they became the first musical group to release a single exclusively as a mobile phone download, with the release of "Stop Me" on the mobile network 3.[3]
In 2009 they released the single, "Lemonade", which is featured on their album Planet Funk.
During the autumn 2010 the single “Weightless” is due for release in Europe and the US. The song is a cooperation between Planet funk and the swedish artist Emilia de Poret.
Their forthcoming album "The Great Shake", featuring the new lead singer Alex Uhlmann, is set to release during the summer of 2011. The first single, "Another Sunrise" will be released in Italy in May 2011.
In The Beginning
Planet Funk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was nothing but rain
Then came the people
Then came the crane
Up rose the buildings
To rival the sun
The is the first day
This is the first day
Now we have begun
This is the first day
No one remembers
The day that things changed
But something left us
No one else to blame
All of the things that
We made to make us free
Took away all that
Was meant to be
This is the first day
Now we have begun
The is the first day
Now we have begun
The lyrics of the song "In the Beginning" by Planet Funk describe a new beginning, a fresh start after a time of emptiness that led to the emergence of people and the construction of new structures: "In the beginning, there was nothing but rain. Then came the people, then came the crane. Up rose the buildings to rival the sun. This is the first day, now we have begun." The song highlights that the new beginning was a result of the creativity and determination of the people to create their own world, one that offers more possibilities for growth and progress.
However, the song also suggests that while the people have succeeded in building a new world, something has been lost along the way: "No one remembers the day that things changed, but something left us, no one else to blame. All of the things that we made to make us free took away all that was meant to be." The people's efforts to make themselves free and independent have led them to forget their past, their traditions, and their connection to the natural world, resulting in the loss of essential components of their identity and meaning.
Overall, "In the Beginning" is a reflection on the paradoxical nature of progress, which involves both the creation of new possibilities and the loss of old values, traditions, and connections to the natural world.
Line by Line Meaning
In the beginning
At the very start of everything
There was nothing but rain
It was raining and there was nothing else around
Then came the people
Afterwards, people started appearing
Then came the crane
A crane was introduced too
Up rose the buildings
Buildings were constructed and began to rise up
To rival the sun
The buildings were built so tall that they seemed to compete with the sun itself
This is the first day
This day marks the start of everything
Now we have begun
From this point on, things have started
Now we have begun
From this point on, things have started
No one remembers
Nobody knows for sure when things started changing
The day that things changed
Whatever happened that made things different
But something left us
Something was taken away from us
No one else to blame
There is nobody to hold responsible for this loss
All of the things that
All the inventions and creations that
We made to make us free
Were done to provide us with freedom
Took away all that
Ended up removing everything
Was meant to be
That was meant to happen naturally
This is the first day
This day marks the start of everything
Now we have begun
From this point on, things have started
