1) Revolver (UK) were a London based guitar band in existence from 1990-1994, comprising of Mat Flint (guitar/vocals), Hamish Brown (bass) and Nick Dewey (drums). Flint and Dewey had been in school bands together, and when the two moved to London in the autumn of 1990 met Brown who completed the line-up.
The band, after attracting attention from several record labels, signed to the Virgin records subsidiary Hut Records in the summer of 1991. The band quickly picked up a following, supporting the likes of Chapterhouse, Slowdive, Teenage Fanclub and Blur, and gained a lot of press coverage, most notably in NME, Melody Maker and The Face. Their first single, "Heaven Sent An Angel" topped the UK independent charts, as did the follow-up "Crimson", and the third single "Venice". The band specialised in bright, abrasive guitar-pop songs with strong melodies, and were determined (but ultimately failed) to distinguish themselves from the other guitar bands of the era. The UK press lumped them in with the shoegazer movement, a tag that the band weren't comfortable with.
A compilation of these first 3 singles was released in the States as "Baby's Angry" on Caroline Records, and gained the band airplay on US college radio. The band toured America in the autumn of 1992, on a co-headlining tour with fellow Caroline Records act Drop Nineteens.
In 1993, Revolver released the single "Cradle Snatch", closely followed by the album "Cold Water Flat", and while the songs were more sophisticated than their earlier work, the sales weren't as impressive, and Virgin dropped the band after a final single "I Wear Your Chain" failed to make the top 75. The band split up at the beginning of 1994, after failing to sign a deal with another label. Mat Flint went on to play bass guitar for Death In Vegas from 1996 onwards, and has released two singles, "Commodity" and "Time To Kill", with his new band Deep Cut. Deep Cut's debut album "My Thoughts Light Fires" will be released on Club AC30 Records in February 2009.

2) Formed in Braunschweig, Germany - Formed by guitarist Lutz Buck and drummer Antek Rudo, and after tossing some ideas around, they decided to book a studio to record an album. The album, The Unholy Mother Of Fuck, was recorded and released in 2002 on Music For Nations.

3) Formed in Auckland, New Zealand in 2003. Comprised of Charlie Atkin (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Stevie Atkin (vocals, guitars), Greg Dempster (drums), Matt Bryers (vocals, guitars), and Rob Bryers (bass, vocals), they released their debut album "Parlour Games" in December 2006. Their style is best described as rock and roll with strong retro influences, particularly The Who and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

4) Revolver (Slovenia) was a thrash metal band from Portorož, active in the 90's. They have released first and only album "Sistem" in 1997. Band Members were: Igor Zonta (Vocals), Kevin Koradin (Guitar), Matej Batelič (Bass), Enis Beganovič (Drums).

6) Revolver is an Edmonton based MC (North London) who is part of the crew Cold Blooded. Revolver was originally part of Millitant Terrorist, in which he shone out as a premier MC in that crew.

SI es tan solo amor
Revolver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nena, tú que siempre sabes dónde estás,
Nena, dime ahora si éste es mi final,
Nena, dime cuándo por última vez
Tú me diste un beso sin saber por qué

Cuántas carreteras yo quemé por ti?
Cuántas carreteras yo quemé por mí?
Mírate en mis ojos y dime que no,

Que ya no me quieres, nena, dime adiós

Si es tan sólo amor,
Si es tan sólo amor,
Algo tan hermoso no puede quemar
Más que leña al fuego,
Si es tan sólo amor

Y por qué me duele tanto que
Ya no tengo fuerzas para respirar?
O por qué tus uñas me arañan la piel?
Si ya no me quieres déjame marchar

Si es tan sólo amor,
Si es tan sólo amor,
Algo tan hermoso no puede quemar
Más que leña al fuego,
Si es tan sólo amor

Si es tan sólo amor,
Si es tan sólo amor,
Algo tan hermoso no puede quemar
Más que leña al fuego,
Si es tan sólo amor

Cuántas carreteras yo quemé por ti?
Cuántas carreteras yo quemé por mí?
Mírate en mis ojos y dime que no,
Que ya no me quieres, nena, dime adiós

Si es tan sólo amor,

Algo tan hermoso no puede quemar
Más que leña al fuego,
Si es tan sólo amor

Si es tan sólo amor,
Si es tan sólo amor,
Algo tan hermoso no puede quemar
Más que leña al fuego,
Si es tan sólo amor

Para mi Neni, Luis

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Revolver's song "Si es tan solo amor" (If it's just love) are a plea from a desperate man to his partner, whom he calls "Nena". The song starts with the singer asking her if this is the end, and then goes on to question her love for him - how many roads he has burned for her, how she can look into his eyes and say she doesn't love him anymore, and why even the pain of her leaving hurts him so much. He asks her to let him go if she doesn't love him anymore, and tries to console himself by saying that if it's just love they are dealing with, it cannot hurt more than wood being burned in a fire.

The lyrics are full of desperation, hurt, and confusion, as the singer cannot understand why his love is not reciprocated, and why it hurts so much. The use of the word "Nena" (baby) throughout the song adds to the vulnerability and tenderness of the emotions expressed. The repetition of the line "Si es tan solo amor" serves to emphasize the fact that the singer believes that love cannot be so painful, and that the pain must be caused by something else.

The song speaks to universal feelings of heartbreak and loss, and shows the power that love - or the lack of it - can have over a person's emotions. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody serves to enhance the emotional impact of the words.
