It didn't take long for Mike to contact Rea. He knew Sebi, who played in a band with Uwe. Uwe told Phil about the project they were doing and suddenly he was there too. Reamonn was born...
Reamonn is currently on hiatus, with vocalist Rea Garvey focusing on his solo career at the moment.
Beautiful Sky
Reamonn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Showing a former life
When we felt so alive
In a sea of light swimming before my eyes
Hold on to what is right
Open your open mind
Don't leave me here to grieve innocent times
In the beginning I felt we were living I felt so alive
Under beautiful skies
Oh tonight slip in and out of life
Yet feeling so alive
Lost in the sea of light
Oh no please don't let me go no please
Don't leave me here to grieve innocent times
In the beginning I felt we were living I felt so alive
Under beautiful skies
Oh no please don't let me go no please
Don't let me go no please Beautiful Skies
In the beginning I felt we were living I felt so alive
Under beautiful skies
The lyrics to "Beautiful Sky" by the band Reamonn are about nostalgia for a former life in which the singer felt alive and vibrant. The song begins with imagery of a guiding light shining down, showing the singer's former life. The use of light as an image is not only visually evocative, but it also suggests a spiritual or emotional rebirth. The singer then describes a sea of light swimming before their eyes and implores the listener to hold onto what is right and open their mind. This could be a commentary on the current state of the world or a call to action for the listener to maintain a positive outlook despite external hardship.
As the song progresses, it becomes more urgent. The singer pleads with the listener to not let them go and leaves it up to interpretation as to whether they are referring to their former life or the current one. The refrain of the song emphasizes the beauty of the sky under which the singer's former life took place, and this could be interpreted as a metaphor for happier times or a more optimistic worldview. The repetition of the plea to not let the singer go suggests a sense of desperation and longing for past happiness.
Overall, "Beautiful Sky" is an emotional song with strong imagery that captures a sense of longing for a more positive time. It encourages the listener to maintain a sense of hope even in the face of hardship.
