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.
Heart Of An Enemy
Rea Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You´ll find
Stationary by your side
Yeah she´ll search for a remedy
Last of her kind
As she breathes love to your life
What´s the price of a memory?
Broken lives
Are we late for the ceremony?
Who decides?
Pray for time
Cause we all need a safe place to hide
Yeah we all need some love our lives
And you know if they come for you
I´ll be right here by your side
Cause we all need a safe place to hide
She stands for the innocent
Inside her heart beats
A crowd unknown
A scream breaks the interval
Of time
One last word been thrown
And you know if they come for you
I´ll be right here by your side
Cause we all need some love in our lives
Yeah we all need some love in our lives
Shine a light on your love
You be strong don´t give up on your life
Shine a light on your love
You be strong don´t give up on your life
Shine a light on your love
You be strong don´t give up on your life
Shine a light on your love
You be strong don´t give up on your life
Cause we all need a safe place to hide
And we all need some love in our lives
"Heart of an Enemy" by Rea Garvey is a song about a person who can be both a friend and an enemy. The lyrics start off by describing this person as having the "heart of an enemy," but also being "stationary by your side" and searching "for a remedy" to bring love into your life. The singer questions the price of memories and reflects on the broken lives and gravesides left behind by those who have passed.
There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, as the singer wonders if they're late for a ceremony and asks who decides. The chorus echoes the need for a safe place to hide and the desire for love in our lives. The bridge focuses on this person standing for the innocent, having an unknown crowd beating in her heart, and ending with a scream breaking the interval of time. The song concludes with the singer reaffirming that they will be by your side if someone comes for you and encouraging listeners to shine a light on their love and be strong.
