In 1997, Wilson joined Genesis following the departure of former vocalist and drummer Phil Collins. Genesis went on hiatus after one album, Calling All Stations, and a tour with Wilson.
Wilson went on to record a solo project called Cut_, which he has described as sounding the way the next Genesis might have sounded had the band attempted a second album with him. The album Millionairhead was released under this name.
In 2003 he released a solo album under his own name titled Change. The next year he released another studio album entitled The Next Best Thing, which included a cover of "Inside". He is currently working on a second Stiltskin album.
DJ and trance producer Armin van Buuren has produced remixes of the songs "Another Day" (retitled "Yet Another Day") and "Gypsy" from Millionairhead. Both remixes have been released on van Buuren's own albums, and "Yet Another Day" was also released as a single.
That's All
Ray Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off,
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you
More than I wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together till the end
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Jjust as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
Ray Wilson's song "That's All" talks about the frustration and confusion of a failing relationship. The song starts off with the singer thinking things are going alright, only to be proven wrong later. The chorus expresses his disappointment in the predictability of the situation, where he always thinks one thing, and the other person thinks the opposite. He feels like he's going through the same thing over and over again, which is just a shame.
In the second verse, he talks about how he could leave, but he chooses not to. He's stuck in the relationship, and he can't seem to feel anything anymore. Again, the chorus reiterates the frustration of the situation. However, in the final verse, he admits his love for the person, and says there's no point in pretending otherwise. He wants to stay with them till the end, despite the ups and downs.
Overall, the lyrics are a lament on the complexities of relationships, and the difficulty in making them work. The singer is stuck in a pattern of disappointment and frustration, yet he can't seem to let go.
