Signed to Lyric Street Records in 2003, Rushlow released two singles and one album (Right Now) on the label that year. After disbanding in 2004, Rushlow and Harris formed a duo known as Rushlow Harris, which was signed to Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label in 2006.
Before the foundation of Rushlow, lead vocalist Tim Rushlow was co-lead vocalist with Brady Seals in the band Little Texas, a six-piece band which charted several Top Ten country singles in the mid-1990s, including the Number One hit "My Love". In 1997, Rushlow left for a solo career. His first cut was the musical track "Totally Committed" on comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1998 album of the same name. Tim Rushlow signed to Atlantic Records in 2000, charting the Top Ten single "She Misses Him" that year. Other singles from his self-titled debut album, however, failed to make Top 40, due in part to the closure of his label in 2001. He formed the group Rushlow after deciding that he was not made for a solo career, saying: "I did some shows and I had a band and a bus, but I never felt real comfortable as the Tim Rushlow solo guy with this band that was not named, that was just sort of 'Tim's backup band.' It just never really felt right."
One of the group's first members was Tim's cousin Doni Harris, who had previously sung backing vocals on his solo album. Later, Rushlow and Harris had spotted Kurt Allison, as well as Allison's roommates Rich Redmond and Tully Kennedy, all of whom were backing another singer at a bar, and eventually Billy Welch was added to the lineup as well. The group was signed to Lyric Street Records, on the condition that they assume the name Rushlow and perform as a self-contained band, with no additional studio musicians. The lead-off single, "I Can't Be Your Friend", was a Top 20 country hit in 2003, and the group also entertained U.S. troops in Bahrain, Germany, Italy and Spain. ("I Can't Be Your Friend" was later covered by the dance group DHT in 2006.) The song served as the lead-off to Rushlow's debut album Right Now, which produced only one more chart single on the country charts.
Rushlow's six members disbanded in early 2004, after being dropped from Lyric Street. Two years later, Tim Rushlow and Doni Harris reunited, forming a duo called Rushlow Harris, which signed to the Show Dog Nashville label (owned by Toby Keith) in 2006. Rushlow Harris charted two singles of its own that year.
When You Dance With Me
Rushlow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rainin' down on us tonight
And the wind through the willows is singin' that song
I wanna keep my arms around you all night long just holdin' on
Caught up in the motion of your every move
So lost in the moment, spinning, falling into you
I'm everywhere I wanna be, girl your love is all I see
There's a magical moment when you take my hand
A chemistry I don't understand
The way our bodies start movin' in time
The way you move me blows my mind, you blow my mind
Caught up in the motion of your every move
So lost in the moment, spinning, falling into you
I'm everywhere I wanna be, girl your love is all I see
When you dance with me
Dance with me
How could I be so lucky
To have you dancin' with me?
Caught up in the motion of your every move
So lost in the moment, spinning, falling into you
I'm everywhere I wanna be, girl your love is all I see
When you dance with me
Dance with me
When you dance. when you dance with me
When you dance, your love is all I need
When you dance, when you dance with me
When you dance, your love is all I see
The lyrics to Rushlow's song "When You Dance With Me" capture the feeling of being completely consumed by the moment when dancing with someone you love. The metaphors used in the first verse, "an ocean of stars" and "a sea of moonlight," create a dreamy and romantic atmosphere, while the wind through the willows adds a gentle touch to the imagery. The singer expresses his desire to hold his partner close all night long while they dance in the beautiful setting.
Moving on to the chorus, the repetitive phrases "caught up in the motion of your every move" and "so lost in the moment, spinning, falling into you" highlight how the singer is completely entranced by his partner's every movement. He feels that he is exactly where he wants to be when he's dancing with her and that her love for him is all he can see. The bridge of the song emphasizes the singer's disbelief at his good fortune, feeling lucky to be holding his partner's hand while they dance together.
Overall, "When You Dance With Me" is a beautiful tribute to the power of dancing with someone you love. It evokes feelings of pure joy, romance, and being completely in the present moment with someone special.
