Reamonn was a German rock and pop band that is well known all over Europe. They recorded six albums and disbandoned in 2010.
In 1998, Rea Garvey left his band The Reckless Pedestrians and home town of Tralee, Ireland to go to Germany with not a lot money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an ad into local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, "Singer requires band for recording and live shows." Mike Gommeringer (Gomezz) saw this ad and accurately assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The twosome met up and subsequently recruited Uwe, Sebi and Phil. Their first gig was played on New Year's Eve 1998 in Stockach.
In order to secure a recording contract, they set up a showcase at Logo, a small club in Hamburg, in front of 16 representatives from various record labels in 1999. The band was quickly offered several contracts, settling on signing with Virgin Records Germany. As of 2006 they are now releasing their music through Universal Music.
Their best known songs are: Supergirl and Tonight(2006).
In 2011, Rea started his solo career and as of 2018, released 4 albums so far: Can't stand the silence, Pride, Prisma and Neon. Rea continues to work with national and international artists like Kool Savas, Jam & Spoon, Paul van Dyk or Mary J. Blige.
In the past, he recorded a new version of "All good things come to an end" with Nelly Furtado.
For several German movies he provided solo tracks even before Reamonn disbandoned.
He regularely appears at a coach of the German Version of "The Voice" or "The Voice Kids".
Rea married in 2002 and together with their child, they live in Berlin.

Rea Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I refused to see them
Here I go now
Trust is a thin line
I slipped and slided
Thought there was hope, but
I've seen you under too many skies
Why I'm so critical?
Why you cynical
You think you're better, but
Comes without warning
The way the heart breaks
Look at me now
Promises broken yeah
The heart has spoken yeah
Just look at me now
Never liked anybody
I took so long to cry
I feel so dumb now
I'm trying hard but your
Cryptical talking
Won't tell me nothing
Except that I should run and run out
I don't need someone
That I can overcome
You think you're clever, but
Comes without warning
The way the heart breaks
Look at me now, ooh
Promises broken yeah
The heart has spoken yeah
Look at me now
I wish I was more careful, careful
Can't change who you are
Can't work it out, work it out
Yesterday I burned you,
Burned your world, you
Looked good from the fire
But hope runs out, hope runs out
Yeah hope runs out, hope runs out
Comes without warning
The way the heart breaks
look at me now
Promises broken
The heart has spoken yeah
look at me now
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm fragile
I'm fragile
The lyrics to Rea Garvey's song "Fragile" portray a story of a broken relationship and the emotional vulnerability that comes with it. The opening lines suggest that the singer was warned about the flaws or issues in the relationship but chose to ignore them. It can be interpreted as a realization of a mistake or a lack of perception on the part of the singer.
The mention of trust being a thin line reflects the fragility of the relationship, and how easily it can be damaged. The line "I've seen you under too many skies" implies that the singer has witnessed the true nature or behavior of their partner in various circumstances, perhaps indicating a pattern of disappointment.
The questioning tone in the lyrics suggests the singer's confusion and frustration with their partner's attitude. The lines "Why I'm so critical? Why you cynical? You think you're better, but" could indicate a dynamic where one party believes they are superior or more deserving, leading to a lack of understanding and empathy.
The chorus emphasizes the suddenness and unpredictability of heartbreak. The phrases "comes without warning" and "the way the heart breaks" express the suddenness and intensity of the emotional pain that the singer is experiencing. They reflect the shock and surprise of the singer, who may not have anticipated the breakup or the extent of their own vulnerability.
The bridge of the song reveals the singer's regrets and feelings of foolishness. The lines "I wish I was more careful, careful / Can't change who you are / Can't work it out, work it out" express a sense of self-blame and acceptance of the situation. The imagery of burning the other person's world suggests an attempt to hurt them in return, but ultimately realizing that hope for reconciliation is fading.
In the repetition of the phrase "I'm fragile," the singer acknowledges their vulnerability and emotional state. The lyrics overall highlight the themes of disappointment, vulnerability, and the struggle to understand and move on from a broken relationship.

You send out warnings
You tried to warn me about something

I made mistakes
Thought there was hope, but
I had some hope, but
I've seen you under too many skies
I have seen you in various situations

Cryptical talking
Mysterious way of communicating
Won't tell me nothing
Doesn't provide any useful information
Except that I should run and run out
Except indicating that I should escape
I don't need someone
I don't need someone in my life
That I can overcome
That I can easily surpass
You think you're clever, but
You believe you are smart, but
I wish I was more careful, careful
I wish I had been more cautious
Can't change who you are
Cannot alter your true nature
Can't work it out, work it out
Cannot figure it out
Yesterday I burned you
In the past, I hurt you deeply
Burned your world, you
Destroyed your happiness, you
Looked good from the fire
Appearances were deceiving due to the chaos
But hope runs out, hope runs out
But hope fades away, hope fades away
I'm fragile
I am delicate and easily broken
