Dragan Stanić (guitar) and Andy Shanahan (keyboards).
They formed in 1987 in the southeastern suburb of Springvale, and gained a considerable live following. In 1989, they played support to international bands Poison and Bon Jovi on their Australian tours. The band came to the attention of promoter Ian (Molly) Meldrum, who signed them to his Melodian Records label. Roxus subsequently supported Mötley Crüe and Warrant, and in 1990, they released a live EP with the tracks "Stand Back" and "Body Heat". They became known for black leather, bandannas and ripped jeans.
In 1991, their album Nightstreet was released, and was to reach #7 on the ARIA Charts. In April, they released the power ballad Where Are You Now, which received considerable radio airplay and peaked at #13 on the ARIA charts and #11 on the AMR charts. In August, they followed up with "Bad Boys", which reached #39, and in December, "Midnight Love" was released.
In early 1992, Stanić and Roxas travelled to Los Angeles to write new songs, and in 1993, they released the single "Almost Summer". The single went almost unnoticed, and the band dissolved. Juno Roxas subsequently went solo and recorded the album Far From Here on Melodian in 1994. In the time since, Roxas has worked as a musician and producer in both Los Angeles and Melbourne. Stanic continued playing locally in a range of projects, while Nixon joined the band Chocolate Starfish and Shanahan became an RMIT lecturer.
Where Are You Now?
Roxus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in the crowd, out on my ow-own
Without you here, the nights are never endin'
I still see your face, wherever I go
I close my eyes across a million miles of broken dreams
And pray your restless soul will lead you back again to me
Where are you now? Are you missing me tonight?
Take a look around, are you just too blind to see?
No-one could love you more-ore than me
And when your world comes tumblin' down
Someday I'll hear you say, Where are-are you now?
All alone in a tow-own full of strangers
Talkin' to myself, over a drink or two
Lookin' through tears for a runway angel
Dancin' 'til dawn, with memories of you
I listen to my lonely heart in rhythm with the rain (rhythm with the rain)
And pray I'll find a way to make your stormy seasons change, baby
Where are you now-ow? Are you missin' me tonight?
Or does someone else hold you tight?
Take a look around, are you just too blind to see?
No-one could love you more-ore than me
And when your world comes tumblin' down
Someday I'll hear you say, Where are-are you now?
I wonder if you ever-er wonder what became of me
Baby I need you so desperately tonight
Baby won't you tell me, Where are-are you now?
And when your-our world comes tumblin' down
Someday I'll hear you say
You know I'll hear you say
Where are you now-ow? Are you missin' me tonight?
Or does someone else hold you tight?
Take a look around, are you just too blind to see?
No-one could love you more-ore than me
Where are you now-ow? Are you missin' me tonight?
Or
does someone else hold you tight?
In Roxus's song "Where Are You Now," the singer is expressing his heartache and loneliness after a recent break-up with a loved one. The lyrics center around the singer's sense of loss and confusion. He is walking through the city streets alone, lost in a crowd and without his partner. He still sees her face everywhere he goes and feels lost without her. The song speaks to the deep pain and longing that come with a heartbreak. It's a heartfelt plea for the return of a lost love.
In the chorus, the singer wonders if his lost love misses him or if someone else is now holding her tight. He asks her to take a look around and see that no one will ever love her more than he does. He promises that someday he will hear her ask him, "Where are you now?"
