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.
Hole in My Heart
Rea Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I twist and I turn
I thought that I knew to hold on to you
I see I learn the things that were said
That left us behind
They're already dead
I'm rea-reaching out
To see if you're there
I'm rea-reaching out
I'm trying to see
If you're reaching for me
Thought I knew everything
But somehow I stopped
And somehow it's gone
And now I hope you realize
I was running too fast
But now it's moved on
I'm rea-reaching out
I'm reaching 'cross a world
To see if you're there
I'm rea-reaching out
I'm trying to see
If you're reaching for me
And every time we wonder why
You said goodbye
You left too soon
And every time
We wonder why
You left so soon
This empty room
And every time
I wonder why
You said goodbye
You left goodbye
And every day
I turn away
The question why
You made me cry
Is no one
There's a hole in my heart
Let's go back to the start of it
You and me and making history
Let's go back to the start of it
Oh, I ask myself why you said goodbye
Oh, I ask myself why you said goodbye
There's a hole in my heart
There's a hole in my heart
The lyrics of Rea Garvey's song "Hole in My Heart" express the pain of losing someone very close. The first verse talks about the singer's turmoil as he realizes that he could not hold on to the person he lost. He twists and turns with guilt and regret, trying to understand why they left. The second verse reveals the singer's attempts to find the lost person in the vastness of the world. The lyrics show how the singer is reaching out, hoping to connect with the person who left. He wants to know if the person is still thinking of him and if they had regrets leaving him. The chorus repeats the line "There's a hole in my heart" several times, which acts as a metaphor for the emptiness the singer feels.
The lyrics of the song also show how the singer questions himself about what went wrong in their relationship. He wonders why the other person left so suddenly and what he could have done differently to prevent it from happening. The singer's raw emotions are conveyed through the repeated lines "oh, I ask myself why you said goodbye," which emphasize how painful it is to lose someone close. The lyrics of the song are both raw and vulnerable, reflecting on the complex emotions that arise from losing someone.
Line by Line Meaning
I crash, I burn
I have made a mess of things and failed
I twist and I turn
I'm constantly changing my perspective
I thought that I knew to hold on to you
I believed I could keep you as mine, but I was wrong
I see I learn the things that were said
I am realizing the significance of the words spoken to us
That left us behind
That caused us to be separated
They're already dead
Those words and the relationship they described are no longer alive
I'm rea-reaching out
I am trying to connect with you again
I'm reaching 'cross a world
I am making an effort to overcome distance between us
To see if you're there
To find out if you still exist in my life
I'm trying to see
I want to understand if we can reconcile
If you're reaching for me
If you also want us to reconnect
Thought I knew everything
I was arrogant and overconfident
But somehow I stopped
I lost my way in the relationship
And somehow it's gone
Our connection has vanished
And now I hope you realize
I want you to see things from my perspective
I was running too fast
I was too eager to get things done
But now it's moved on
Things have progressed without me
And every time we wonder why
We are puzzled by the cause of our breakup
You said goodbye
You chose to end our relationship
You left too soon
You departed before I was ready
This empty room
The space around me feels hollow and void
And every time
Repeated experiences
I wonder why
I cannot comprehend the reason
You left so soon
Your absence hit me before I expected
And every day
Daily events
I turn away
I avoid facing my emotions
The question why
The unknown reason for our separation
You made me cry
You caused me emotional pain
Is no one
There is no one to blame or explain the cause
There's a hole in my heart
I feel incomplete without you
Let's go back to the start of it
Let's revisit the beginning of our relationship
You and me and making history
Together we can create a memorable future
Oh, I ask myself why you said goodbye
I continue to question why you ended things
There's a hole in my heart
I feel an emptiness where our relationship once was
