1, Shaggy (born October 22… Read Full Bio ↴Shaggy is the name of, at least, two artists.
1, Shaggy (born October 22, 1969, in Kingston, Jamaica as Orville Richard Burrell), is a Jamaican reggae artist who takes his nickname from his shaggy hair. He is especially notable for his distinctive sub-baritone voice.
His family immigrated to the United States and they settled in the neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn, located in New York City, New York, USA.
In 1988, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served during Operation Desert Storm during the Persian Gulf War.
On his return from Iraq, he decided to pursue his music career and his first hit in 1993: "Oh Carolina", was a dancehall re-make of a ska hit by the Folkes Brothers. The same year, Shaggy appeared on Kenny Dope's hip hop album "The Unreleased Project". He worked together with producers such as Sting Intl., Don One (who cut his first track), Lloyd 'Spiderman' Campbell and Robert Livingston. He had further big hits, including "Boombastic" in 1995.
He then had a major comeback in 2001, featuring worldwide number-one hit singles "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel," the latter of which was built around Merrilee Rush's 1968 hit "Angel of the Morning" (which was remade in 1981 by Juice Newton). The album Hot Shot, from which those cuts came, would hit number one on the Billboard 200.
However, his 2002 release Lucky Day, and the 2005 album Clothes Drop failed to match Hot Shot's success.
Shaggy performed the theme for Showtime (film), a 2002 movie.
2, Shaggy, a swedish rock/blues rock band from the 1970's. Released one album, "Lessons for beginners"
Angel Eyes
Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still, it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gainin' any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil's sent
They grow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Gotta find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
So drink up, all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drinks and the laugh's on me
Angel eyes, that old Devil's sent
They grow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?
So drink up, all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laugh's and the drinks are all on me
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Gotta find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me, while I disappear
In the song "Angel Eyes" by Shaggy, the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is longing for love but finding it elusive. The first verse sets the tone, suggesting that the person is trying to convince themselves that love is not present in their life, but deep down, they feel its presence uncomfortably close. The line "my old heart ain't gainin' any ground" implies that despite their efforts, they are not making progress in finding love because their "angel eyes" are not with them.
The chorus reinforces the theme of longing for someone with "angel eyes," comparing them to a temptation sent by the devil. The phrase "grow unbearably bright" suggests that this person's presence is captivating and overwhelming. The phrase "misspent with angel eyes tonight" indicates that even though the person knows their love is not wisely placed, they are unable to resist the allure of their "angel eyes."
In the second verse, the singer abruptly interrupts their thoughts, showing a sense of urgency. They state that they need to run to find out who is now the most important person in their life and why their "angel eyes" are not present. This suggests that the person feels a sense of competition for their love interests and a need to understand why they are being disregarded.
The bridge of the song shifts the focus to the singer's social presence. They encourage people to drink and enjoy themselves, emphasizing that the expenses are on them. This could be seen as a way for the singer to distract themselves from the absence of their "angel eyes" by trying to create a festive atmosphere.
The final verse reiterates the urgency and confusion felt by the singer, as they excuse themselves and express the desire to disappear. This indicates that they are overwhelmed by their emotions and need to find solace or clarity by removing themselves from the current situation.
Overall, "Angel Eyes" delves into the emotions of longing, temptation, and the frustrating pursuit of love. The lyrics evoke a sense of yearning and confusion while illustrating the magnetic pull of someone with captivating eyes, referred to as "angel eyes."
