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.
Water
Rea Garvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No battle, no wall, no cry
No wounds to the heart from hanging at the river
No lovers waving goodbye
We won't go down
You won't bring us down
From a sparkle in their eyes
She's a spider web, silk and pretty
And she's more than she advertised
We won't go down
They won't bring us down, yeah
We're water
We're stronger
Won't let this world go under
With shoulder
To shoulder
We found the ranks of soldiers
We're water
We're stronger
There's no one left to conquer
And now we've opened our eyes
We see the paradise, yeah
No priest, no bride, no straight down the middle
No curse, no call, no cry
No cure, no cross, being chased by the living
On yours it was once mine
We won't go down
They won't bring us down, yeah
From the magazine to the radio station
To the TV color screens
I wear the flag of every nation
My sayin' this, my belief
We won't go down
They won't bring us down
We're water
We're stronger
Won't let this world go under
With shoulder
To shoulder
We found the ranks of soldiers
We're water
We're stronger
There's no one left to conquer
And now we've opened our eyes
We see the paradise, yeah
No creature
No preacher
Could save it, our love
No hunger
No hunger
Can affect my words
No reason, no reason
That I understand
Can hold back the world
When you're flat on your hands
We're water
We're stronger
Won't let this world go under
With shoulder
To shoulder
We found the ranks of soldiers
We're water
We're stronger
There's no one left to conquer
And now we've opened our eyes
We see the paradise
We see the paradise
We see the paradise
We see the paradise
And now we've opened our eyes
We see the paradise

No priest, no bride, no straight down the middle
There is no traditional marriage or conventional path
No curse, no call, no cry
There are no negative spells, no summoning requests, and no sorrowful outcries
No cure, no cross, being chased by the living
There is no remedy, no burden to bear, and we are pursued by the living
On yours it was once mine
The ownership and possession of something has changed hands
From the magazine to the radio station
From print media to broadcasting platforms
To the TV color screens
To the vibrant displays on televisions
I wear the flag of every nation
I represent and embrace the diversity of every country
My sayin' this, my belief
Expressing my opinion and holding onto my convictions
No creature
No living being
No preacher
No religious figure
Could save it, our love
No external influence or authority can preserve our love
No hunger
No insatiable need or desire
Can affect my words
Will not change or influence what I say
No reason, no reason
There is no logical explanation, no justification
That I understand
That I can comprehend or make sense of
Can hold back the world
Cannot restrict or impede the progress of the world
When you're flat on your hands
When you are completely helpless
We see the paradise
We recognize the beauty and perfection around us
And now we've opened our eyes
Now that we are awake and aware

Rea!! It's just incredible, how you're mixing up the freakin music world. Your voice and your lyrics are something we don't deserve. It's incredible, how you sing the covers by your own way. You even mix up your own songs.... You just made a new song out of it. Just by mixing the chords and pronounce the words by a different way. I love your style, your music. It inspires me and a lot of other people. I've even started playing guitar thanks to you 😂😂. So to sum up, I am really greatfull for your music and the stuff you're doing. I just want to let you know, that you're inspiring a lot of people. Keep it up!
