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.

Reamonn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you say I'm just your fool
Have you had other, had other men like me?
Have they pleased you, pleased you like I want to please?
Do you think you got more than me?
Is it so hard to let go of been free?
Would you strip for now? Let's see you bare
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip for me?
Would you strip until you're bare?
Would you make love over there?
Show me that I've got some control
Hold me, tell me that I'm not your fool
Do you believe in me?
And do you know my history?
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip, strip for me?
And would you strip for me?
The lyrics of Reamonn's song "Stripped" seem to be the singer's personal plea to a lover to prove her commitment to the relationship. The singer asks his lover if she is in control of the relationship, and whether she thinks that he is just a fool who will do anything for her. He also wonders if she has had other men like him and whether they have pleased her as he wants to please her. These questions show that the singer is somewhat insecure about his position in the relationship and needs reassurance from his lover.
The second verse of the song continues with the message of the first verse. The singer wants his lover to prove her commitment to the relationship by stripping for him. He asks if she can let go of the freedom that comes with being alone and be open to a more intimate connection with him. The chorus of the song repeats the question asked in the second verse. The singer asks his lover if she would strip for him and whether she believes in him.
Overall, the lyrics of the song suggest that the singer feels like his lover is not fully committed to the relationship and that he is trying to find a way to make her prove her love for him.
