The band Reamonn began in 1990 in Freiburg, Germany with a classified advertisment from Rea in the paper. "Irish singer is looking for band for recording and tour". 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.

Steh auf, bitte, du wirst ganz nass
Es ist schon spät, komm, wir müssen weg hier
Raus aus dem Wald, verstehst du nicht?
Wo, wo ist dein Schuh, du hast ihn verloren
Als ich dir den Weg zeigen musste
Wer hat verloren? Du dich?
Ich mich? Oder, oder wir uns?
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
A lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you (someone needs you)
Jeanny
Es ist kalt, wir müssen weg hier, komm
Dein Lippenstift ist verwischt
Du hast ihn gekauft und ich hab' es gesehen
Zuviel rot auf deinen Lippen, du hast gesagt
„Mach mich nicht an“
Aber du warst durchschaut, Augen sagen mehr als Worte
Du brauchst mich doch, hmh?
Alle wissen, dass wir zusammen sind ab heute
Jetzt hör' ich sie! Sie kommen
Sie kommen, dich zu holen
Aber sie werden dich nicht finden
Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir
Jeanny (Jeanny), quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
A lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny (Jeanny), life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, you gotta struggle and fight
With someone who needs you
Jeanny
Jeanny (Jeanny), quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny (Jeanny), life is not what it seems
A lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, you gotta struggle and fight
With someone who needs you
Jeanny
Quit livin' on dreams
Life is not what it seems
A cold, cold world
A small, small girl
Such a lonely little girl
Well, there's someone who needs you
Someone who needs you
Jeanny
Someone who needs you
Someone who needs you
Who needs you
Someone who needs you
Jeanny, Jeanny, Jeanny, Jeanny, Jeanny
Jeanny
The song "Jeanny" by Reamonn is a story of a girl named Jeanny who is lost and alone in a cold, dark world. The lyrics convey the message that Jeanny needs someone to help her find her way and that there is someone out there who needs her. The song begins with the singer urging Jeanny to come with him and leave the woods they are in. They are both wet and it is late, so they need to leave. Jeanny has lost her shoe, and the singer wonders who has lost more - Jeanny, himself, or the two of them together.
The singer then talks about how cold it is, and how Jeanny's lipstick is smudged. He knows that she bought it and that she is trying too hard. He knows that she needs him, and that everyone knows they are together now. They hear people coming to take Jeanny away, but the singer promises they won't find her because she is with him.
Overall, the song is a tragic and haunting representation of the loss of innocence and the dangers of falling into desperation. It is a commentary on how easy it is to lose oneself in a cold and cruel world, and how important it is to have someone who cares for you to guide you through it.
