These boys def put the 'Rock' in Rock City.
Band 3:
Hailing from the island of St. Thomas, Rock City is preparing to change the face of music, period. Comprised of brothers Theron aka Da Spokesman and Timothy aka Don’t Talk Much, the creative two offers up international flair combined with a Hip-Hop aesthetic with their debut, Wake The Neighbors. Already gathering critical praise throughout the music industry because of their writing talents—the pair have gathered songwriting credits ranging from Akon and Usher to Nicole Scherzinger and Mario to Cassidy and Busta Rhymes—the talented twenty somethings are poised to bring their brand of Caribbean spiced Hip-Hop with a Pop sensibility to the masses.
Rock City was named after their island, the lush but beautifully mountainous terrain of St. Thomas is known as Rock City.
Their first major placement as writers was Akon’s “The Rain” from his double platinum CD Konvicted via a connect from their friend Benny D, who happened to be the Senegalese-American singers’ DJ. “Ever since then we’ve been getting a lot of work,” adds Timothy, humbly. He’s certainly not giving Rock City enough credit, though. In a short time—they began penning songs for other artists in 2006—they’ve amassed a staggering number of tunes renowned artist including Mario, Usher, Eve, and Sean Kingston, to name a few.

The lyrics to Rock City's song You Are are about a guy who meets a girl at a club and is clearly interested in her. The chorus explains how he looks into her eyes and sees that she doesn't want to sleep alone so he will probably take her home by the end of the night. The first verse expresses his attraction to the girl because of her curves and confidence. He also mentions that he can tell she wants to go home with him. The bridge emphasizes how hot the girl is and how she stands out in the crowd. The second verse continues with his interest in her and how he wants to make her night better. He assures her that he will give her what she wants and that she is leaving with him tonight.
The song overall conveys a typical club scene where people go to have a good time, meet someone new, and potentially have a one-night stand. It also seems to be targeted towards a male audience as it is told from a male perspective and objectifies the female in question. However, it is possible to interpret the song differently and find a deeper meaning within the lyrics.
