"There’s pop music, and then there’s the kind of pop music that NYC duo, POWERS, create. Kicking the mundane to the curb, and empowering their sound with uncontrollable pizzazz is what this duo is all about. And as we find on their second-ever released track, “Money”, their sound is monumental, massive and downright explosive..."- Hillydilly.com
"There are a lot of electronic pop acts coming around right now, and it sucks for them, because a couple of professionals just stepped in..."- Pigeons and Planes
""Classic" featuring Powers. It's a straight up summer smash, the kind of dance track that hangs in an era-less vacuum; the kind of tune that makes you feel like you're in a movie montage that begins in the hazy magic hour and splices together every amazing moment till dawn."- Noisey by Vice.com
Gimme Some
Powers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try again
If your love don't work
Go try again
If your love don't work
Go call a friend
If your love don't work
Go, go, and go again
Sometimes I feel was made so different
Sometimes I feel, I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel that this boat is chippin'
Oh, I'm in need of relief when I fall
Just some belief in it all
Hey-ye, hey-eh-ey, everyone
Today-ye, ay-ye-ay we own the sun
Tonight is almost done
Baby, you love to dance
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some, gimme some, gimme some
If your love don't work
Try again
If your love don't work
Go, go, and go again
Sometimes I feel that the bad guy's winnin'
Sometimes I feel, you feel nothing at all, no
Sometimes I feel something real is missing
So won't you please rescue me when I call?
Yeah, rescue me when I call
Hey-ey, ay-ye-ay, everyone
Today-ay, ay-ye-ay we own the sun
Tonight is almost done
Baby, you love to dance
Come on and gimme some
Come on and
Hey-ey, ay-ye-ay, everyone
Today-ay, ay-ye-ay we own the sun
Tonight is almost done
Baby, you love to dance
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some, gimme some, gimme some
Gimme some
Come on and gimme some
Come on and gimme some, gimme some, gimme some
In Powers's song Gimme Some, the lyrics speak of the struggles of love and life. The song opens with the repeated lines 'if your love don't work, try again, go call a friend, go and go again,' suggesting that love is not always easy and that it takes persistence and sometimes the help of others to overcome obstacles. The second verse continues with the singer confessing that sometimes it feels as though the bad guy is winning and that something real is missing in their life. This is where the plea for rescue from someone who can believe and offer support comes in.
The chorus of 'hey-ye, hey-eh-ey, everyone, today-ye, ay-ye-ay we own the sun, tonight is almost done, baby you love to dance, come on and gimme some' provides a catchy and upbeat message. Perhaps the message is that despite the struggles, life is still enjoyable and that we should go out and dance, or in other words, find some joy despite difficulties. The repetition of the phrase 'gimme some' throughout the chorus could suggest that the singer is asking for more than just a dance, but rather is seeking a deeper form of connection and love from the person they are dancing with.
In summary, Powers's song Gimme Some speaks of the challenges of love and life but also encourages persistence, reaching out to others for help, and finding joy despite struggles.
