They made themselves known to the general public in 2015 with the release of their title "England Skies" certified diamond single throughout the world, and by supporting the likes of James Blunt in the UK (including a concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall) and Rodrigo y Gabriela in France.
Their first album "All In Time" received an unanimously positive reception with tens of millions of streams and impressive charts in thirty countries.
The band travelled across Europe for a tour of more than 80 concerts which ended in Tahiti after a sold-out Cigale in Paris.
Carried by the singles "Dinosaur" and "Come Back To Me”, their second album "Homesick" was released in 2018 followed by a tour of more than 60 concerts across Europe finishing at Sziget Festival.
After several years of composing in their native UK and under the warm Spanish sun, the band Shake Shake Go returns in 2023 with their third offering and most captivating album to date "Double Vision", an indie-pop narrative of depth and emotion.

Shake Shake Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
My friend I have been so alone
Out here in the world on my own
I think that I need you some more
Five years blew away with the wind
Broke car, dirty bar, summer fling
We drove our cars to the bridge
Drank rum and pray god forgives
We made mistakes made them all
We'd never break we'd never fall
We'd sing and dance the devil song
And watch our sins leave the dawn
Mountains will shake, the sun will roar
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur ready
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Let's get the dinosaur, yeah hear me roar, the dinosaur's coming
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Oh won't you come on
Run run like a child through the night
Let's dance on the clear diamond sky
I'm leaving the world for one night
I don't even know why we changed
Grew up and went our separate ways
My friend I'll be yours to the grave
Let's raise a glass to yesterday
And thank the lord we made it here
We made mistakes made them all
Tonight i'm sure we'll make some more
We'd sing then dance the devil's song
And morning's not far along
Memories keep and love will hold
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur ready
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Let's get the dinosaur, yeah here me roar, the dinosaur's coming
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Oh won't you come on
Well I've been waiting for you
To cut me loose
And remind me
And remind me
Yeah I've been waiting for you
To break on through
So come and find me
So come and find me
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur ready
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Let's get the dinosaur, yeah here me roar, the dinosaur's coming
Let's get the dinosaur, the dinosaur, the dinosaur out
Oh won't you come on
The lyrics to Shake Shake Go's "Dinosaur" speak to a strong desire for connection and a feeling of being lost in the world. The repeated call to "let's get the dinosaur" represents a need to embrace the wild, unbridled aspects of oneself in order to find meaning and purpose. The lyrics of the song express both a sense of nostalgia for past experiences and a desire to break free from stagnation and routine.
The first verse establishes a sense of isolation, with the singer admitting to feeling alone in the world. This is contrasted with memories of carefree, wild times with a friend, expressed through the lyrics "my friend are we still wild things?" The second verse describes a specific memory of driving to a bridge and drinking, acknowledging that they have made mistakes but also emphasizing an unshakable sense of resilience and desire to embrace the moment. The bridge serves as a metaphor for crossing a threshold into a new, freer way of being.
The chorus serves both to reiterate the call to embrace the wild, dinosaur-like aspect of oneself, as well as to express a sense of urgency in doing so. The final verse acknowledges the passage of time and the inevitable change it brings, while still emphasizing the importance of holding onto love and memories.
Overall, "Dinosaur" is a song about finding connection, meaning, and purpose in a world that can often feel overwhelming and alienating. It speaks to the importance of embracing one's wild, untamed aspects in order to find freedom and authenticity.

Et bien.. j'aime beaucoup !! Dinosaur composée par Kesha Sebert, une artiste américaine, issue de son premier album studio "Animal" (2010).
La chanson a été écrite et produite avec collaboration de Max Martin et Shellback.
Dans un style dance-pop, le texte de cette chanson parle d'une rencontre entre Kesha et un homme plus âgé qu'elle qui lui fit des avances et qu'elle compara alors
à un dinosaure de la préhistoire parce qu'elle l'a tout simplement rejeté ..
Et dire qu'elle a très bien fait, un homme qu'il soit âgé ou pas n'a pas à se comporter comme un goujat et doit être remis sur ses rails que ça lui plaise ou pas...!!
Avant la sortie "d'Animal" la chanson n'a pas du tout été appréciée par les critiques musicales,
pourtant cela n'a pas empêché quelle soit classée dans le UK Singles Chart ainsi que dans le South Korea Gaon International Chart,
se positionnant aux 180e et 107e places..
Une superbe chanson que j'ai en tout cas beaucoup appréciée !!
@kordiankrecisz5298
