1) Dato' Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmad, also known as SHAKE and Dato Shake, was a very popular Malaysian singer in the 1980s Malay music scene.
2) Alias for Detroit producer Anthony "Shake" Shakir who is one of the more underrecognized, underappreciated names in American techno. A bedroom producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins / Model 500 and Derrick May. He worked with May and Carl Craig as a producer, writer, or engineer on several early tracks on Metroplex, and worked in management and A&R for the label (as well, he's often joked, as being the janitor) during its formative years. His first solo material appeared on Virgin's seminal Techno! The New Dance Sound Of Detroit compilation with 'Sequence 10'. Known as something of a techno purist, Shake has distanced himself from the European scene many of his colleagues have turned to for support (this accounts somewhat for his continuing obscurity), and his music is stylistically closer to second wave artists such as "Mad Mike" Banks and Claude Young — hard, stripped-down tracks which owe equally to techno, electro, hip-hop, and funk. Shake's visibility and reputation have risen in more recent years as a result of his Frictional and Puzzlebox labels, the latter of which he formed in 1996 with fellow Detroit electro / techno producer Keith Tucker (formerly of Aux 88). Releasing a series of records both solo and in combination (usually under the name Da Sampla), Shake and Tucker's Puzzlebox Records has, along with Underground Resistance and Guidance Recordings, become one of the more coveted sources of straight-up, no-bones Detroit techno.
3) Japanese J-Pop group formed in Tokyo, Japan. Mai Sakura, Maimi Fujita and Nao Miyazawa make up the trio of singers that credit Hirokazu Ito as the composer of both their first and second self-titled albums (SHAKE Vol.1 and SHAKE Vol.2, respectively). Their first album, SHAKE Vol.1 was released August 19th, 2009.
4) Spanish soft rock psychedelic band. Alberto Montero (guitar and vovals), Victor Hernandez (Bass), Jorge Castillo (Drums) y Carlos Cuesta (Guitar) recorded the first and only record at the moment, "Let me wear the morning Sun", in 2005. The band it's now recording the second album in studio.
5) Two-piece garage/shoegazer act based in Boston, MA. Shannon Barker (drums/baritone guitar) and Mike Hiltz (guitar/vox) combine elements of garage rock, shoegazer, and noise pop. Debuting with 2004's "Instant Record" EP, they're now working on a second full-length album.
6) Swedish dancehall band

7) A Mexican psytrance formation.
8) 80s punk from Scotland.
After The Rezillos disbanded, guitarist Callis, bassist Templar and drummer Paterson formed Shake with Troy Tate (who would go on to join The Teardrop Explodes), releasing an EP and two singles (the latter single under the name Jo Callis/S.H.A.K.E. Project).
9.) SHAKE was a band formed by Dave Alpert that played the Boston/Cambridge music scene and garnered significant airplay (mostly on WBOS, WFNX and the original WBCN) around the beginning of the 21st century until his passing in the summer of 2014.
When You Loved Me
Shake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we said goodbye
I turn and I see you
But don't trust my eyes
You look at me
And I can't breathe
Had every word perfect
But standing here now
I can't find even one
All I want to say
Is written on my face
I close my eyes every time I wake up
'Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me
When you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is that I was better
When you loved me
When you loved me
I'm sure that there's somewhere that you've got to go
But give me one more minute
One more memory to hold
And wherever you're goin' to
Take this with you
I close my eyes every time I wake up
'Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me
When you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is that I was better
When you loved me
When you loved me
I try to wish you away
You're gone today but
You'll be back tomorrow
This lie that I call goodbye
Won't let go
Won't let me go
I close my eyes every time I wake up
'Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me
When you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is that I was better
When you loved me
When you loved me
I'm back at the corner
Where we said goodbye
In this song, Shake reflects on a past relationship that ended and the pain that still lingers. She is standing in the same place where they said their final goodbye and she sees her former lover, but cannot trust her eyes. The sight of this person brings back memories and emotions, and she can hardly breathe. Even though Shake had prepared words for this moment, she is now at a loss for the right thing to say. All she wants to convey is written on her face, but she is struggling to articulate it.
The chorus expresses her longing for the past when things were different. She describes closing her eyes every time she wakes up because every little thing reminds her of her former lover. She doesn't want to talk about the weather because, deep down, everything is just a reminder that she was better off when they were together. Shake tries to hold onto any memories, even if just for a fleeting moment, in hopes of holding onto the past. She acknowledges a lie that she calls goodbye that won't let go, as the pain of the past relationship still lingers.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on a past relationship that ended, expressing the pain of letting go and the longing for things to have been different.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm back at the corner
I am standing at the same spot where we parted ways
Where we said goodbye
This is the exact location where we bid farewell to each other
I turn and I see you
I look back and unexpectedly notice you standing there
But don't trust my eyes
I am not sure if what I see is real and true
You look at me
You gaze at me
And I can't breathe
I feel nervous and breathless
Had every word perfect
I had rehearsed every single line for this moment
For when this day would come
I had prepared myself for this day in advance
But standing here now
As I am currently present here
I can't find even one
I can't seem to recollect any of the words I had practiced
All I want to say
The only thing I want to utter
Is written on my face
Is pretty evident from my facial expressions
I close my eyes every time I wake up
I shut my eyes each morning when I wake up
'Cause every little thing makes me think of
Because every tiny thing reminds me of
When you loved me
The time when you loved me immensely
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
I don't want to indulge in any insignificant conversation
The truth is that I was better
In all honesty, I was more content and happy
I'm sure that there's somewhere that you've got to go
I am well aware that you have a destination to reach
But give me one more minute
Provide me with sixty more seconds
One more memory to hold
Just a single more recollection to cherish
And wherever you're goin' to
And irrespective of wherever you are heading
Take this with you
Carry this along with you
I try to wish you away
I endeavor to make myself wish you away
You're gone today but
Although you aren't here today
You'll be back tomorrow
You'll be returning tomorrow
This lie that I call goodbye
This fiction that I term as goodbye
Won't let go
Is not permitting me to let go
Won't let me go
Is not allowing me to move on
