4) Reason (HUNGARY) was founded in 1994 by Attila Horvรกth, Gรกbor Dudรกs and Attila Barna. The early days were characterised by an experimenting attitude towards music, however, in three yearsโ time the band developed its own style.
Their first demo was recorded in 1995 under the title โNational Pornoโ, but it was not until the next year, when they finally found their own path with the help of their new keyboard player. At that time the band grew more serious both musically and textually, which is represented in their second demo called โMoonlightโ. The material received positive critics in the Hungarian Metal Hammer magazine. Their main influences have always been bands like Type O Negative or Paradise Lost, but at the same time they have been inspired by musicians and artists of entirely different genres as well.
The following years were predominated by playing in various clubs in the country and in Budapest as well (e.g. Riff-Rรถff Rockklub). Besides, 2000 saw the birth of their third material called โBroodsโ, which did not prevent them from having temporarily abandon the band. After a period of one and a half years it became clear for two of the founding members, Gรกbor Dudรกs and Attila Horvรกth that they can imagine their future musical activities only within this band.
Finally, after a number of changes in the line-up, Reason has reached its present state. In 2005 they finished โCaptive of Dreamsโ and were planning to record their first album. Recently, they have played mainly in Budapest (Marco Polo, Red Hole, Woodoo), but they also had a chance to play in festivals like Night of Doom (in Debrecen) and Gothica V-VI (Petofi Csarnok).

5) Reason (AUSTRALIA)
Having withstood the test of time, Reason continues to personify both tenure and standard as one of Australiaโs true veteranโs of the underground Hip Hop scene with 15 years experience under his belt. The Reason story reflects true preservation of his belief in maintaining a constant yet positive presence.
Reason practices what he preaches by promoting positive content in a context that is truly street, yet with a personal message contained within. A lover of graffiti, politics, life and the environment, these are examples of the diversity that the listener envelops into their own conscience. Reason released his third LP 'One Step Ahead' in 2004, following on from Reography (2002) and Solid in 1999. Reason also released the EP โLifeโs A Lessonโ in 2006, featuring a bevy of international and local guests. August 2008 saw the return of Reason with his latest offering entitled "The Tides are Turning".
Westside
Reason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Just think about it
You put everything in it hoping your soul will grow
All it lead to is blame games and "I told you so"
Four years in and it's hard to let go, clubbin' and parties
You drink away regret with Coke and Bacardi
Sex ain't even present, romantically starving
Don't treat you like you Ken, but he dealin' with Barbies
Loving you hardly
This shit a cycle, cycle, you pray he wife you
Make or break up like you in high school
Frozen pictures, soulless present
Got you feeling you barely know this nigga
Words out the same old book
You need Ibuprofen, all that pain you took
You gon' hit the town, nice dress to stand out
Funny how them girl nights never pan out
They never do
Cuss and fight and fuss and fight and shit
Apologies, throw ice up on your wrist
Wastin' years just praying, hope he change
Girl, you act like time just don't exist
If you down, got places we can go
Ain't no rush, girl, I can take it slow
Ain't no rush, girl, I just need to know
I just want you bad
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (mmh ah)
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside (ohh)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (only on the west)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside
Yeah, yeah
Now baby, nothin' that you do can make a difference (mmh)
And you blame yourself for him fuckin' with bitches (mmh, yeah)
Then memories all catch up, you hold it like pallbearers
Deletin', the love being inconsistent, just follow that
Years down the drain, it's hard for you to swallow that
Look, trust me, I get it, 'cause I done walked down that path too
But if love was rent, baby, then that nigga past due
Every time I walk past you I can see it in your
Face expressions 'cause you neglected
You should let me change that for you
A better life, girl, I swear I can arrange that for you
A couple years down the line, you get a ring and a Maybach for you, huh
Or maybe I'll just bring a Range back for you
'Cause I done came a long way to find somebody that match me
Hood attitude with a soul so classy
So why you puttin' up with these niggas so trash?
I see ya
Cuss and fight and fuss and fight and shit
Apologies, throw ice up on your wrist
Wastin' years just praying, hope he change
Girl, you act like time just don't exist
If you down, got places we can go
Ain't no rush, girl, I can take it slow
Ain't no rush, girl, I just need to know
I just want you bad
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (ohh, ah)
Just meet me on the westside, westside, westside (ohh)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (ooh-oh)
Meet me on the westside, westside, westside (ohh)
(Oh, ooh, mmh)
(Ohh)
The song Westside by Reason talks about a relationship that has become stagnant and lost its spark. The lyrics describe a woman who is stuck in a cycle of arguing and making up with her partner, and trying to hold onto a love that has already been lost. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Meet me on the westside," which seems to represent a new beginning or a fresh start. The westside can be interpreted as a new location, a new mindset or a new perspective. The singer offers to take things slow and build a better life together, away from the pain and heartache of the past.
The verses of the song describe the struggles of the relationship and the emotional toll it has taken on the woman. She is surrounded by friends who are also stuck in loveless relationships and the singer tries to offer her a way out of this cycle. He mentions the material possessions he could offer her like a fancy car and expensive jewelry, but also emphasizes the emotional and mental stability he could provide. The song ends with the chorus again, as if to reinforce the idea that there is hope for a new beginning if they can just meet on the westside.
Overall, Westside is a song about finding hope and a fresh start in a relationship that has become stagnant and painful. The westside is a metaphor for something new and exciting, a place of freedom and opportunity. The singer offers a new perspective and a change of scenery as a way to move forward and build a better life together.
