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.
River So Cold
Rea Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Through tired eyes, everything gets magnified
You see no way in, no way out
Once you were invincible, like Levi's original
Don't lose your love of life
'Cause it's just one small step at a time
If you lose your faith, you can always use mine
Argue if you like
But you know I'm right
From the darkest deep into the brightest light
From the lowest low into the highest high
You'll rise
Baby, you'll rise
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side
River so cold
River so cold
When the skies go gray and you lose your way
Don't lose your love of this life
It's just one of those days, one of those grays
The stars will still come out tonight
From the darkest deep into the brightest light
From the lowest low into the highest high
You'll rise
Baby, you'll rise
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side
Oh, I know that the river so cold
Oh, I know, many miles to go
But I
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side
River so cold
River so cold
Don't be afraid
This promise I made I will keep
Before I sleep
Before I sleep
Before I sleep

Oh, I know that the river so cold
I am aware of the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead
Through tired eyes, everything gets magnified
When exhausted, even the smallest problems seem insurmountable
You see no way in, no way out
Feeling trapped, unable to see a solution or escape
Once you were invincible, like Levi's original
In the past, you felt unbeatable, like an iconic brand
Now you fear you're losing the fight
Currently, there is a sense of losing the battle or struggle
Don't lose your love of life
Keep your passion and enthusiasm for life intact
'Cause it's just one small step at a time
Progress comes with taking small, manageable steps
If you lose your faith, you can always use mine
When your belief wavers, I offer my faith to support you
Argue if you like, But you know I'm right
You may disagree, but deep down you know I speak the truth
From the darkest deep into the brightest light
Moving from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of happiness
From the lowest low into the highest high
Transitioning from rock bottom to extreme success
You'll rise, Baby, you'll rise
You will overcome and triumph, my dear
Oh, I know, many miles to go
I understand there is still a long journey ahead
But I, I'll be by your side
I promise to support and accompany you
When the skies go gray and you lose your way
During difficult times and moments of confusion
Don't lose your love of this life
Retain your affection and appreciation for the beauty of existence
It's just one of those days, one of those grays
It's merely a typical day filled with challenges and melancholy
The stars will still come out tonight
Amidst the darkness, there is always light and hope
Don't be afraid
Do not let fear consume you
This promise I made I will keep
I will remain true to the commitment I made
Before I sleep
Before I rest or depart
I'll be by your side
I will continue to support you
River so cold
Metaphorically representing the challenges and hardships of life

(LYRICS)
I like the way you breathe
Yeah you look good on me
I give you everything
Without the guarantees
Sometimes I want to lie
Then you make me crack
Hold my face
And say I made you laugh
I feel like I'm a part of something
That's gonna last for the rest of my life
I'm coming out of the darkness running
I'm stumbling into the light
You're free like the ocean
You're deep like the sea
You're wild like a river
Running through me
She said
Hold me closer
The nights get colder
Come a little closer
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
You're free like the ocean
You're deep like the sea
You're wild like a river
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
It's like a fantasy
I thought it'd never be
I counted one, two, three
But you held on to me
Like you're a natural
I never saw you try
And when my world falls down
You always make it right
I feel like I'm a part of something
That's gonna last for the rest of my life
I'm coming out of the darkness running
I'm stumbling into the light
You're free like the ocean
You're deep like the sea
You're wild like a river
Running through me
She said
Hold me closer
The nights get colder
Come a little closer
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
You're free like the ocean
You're deep like the sea
You're wild like a river
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
Free like the ocean
Deep like the sea
Wild like a river
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
You feel so good
You make me feel so good
