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.
There's Nothing Better
Shake Shake Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put it all in my faith and my lines on the road
Because even the leaves don't know which way to blow
I'm hoping alone
I wish you could take me home
Everyone's late and in each others arms
Picking flowers from the ground
Making wishes in stars
Got no one to hold
I wish you could take me home
But you know that I'll wait
For you
And you know that we say
Pass through
Because one thing that is always true
To be with you
There is nothing better
And I know it's true
We don't know as we grey
From the rude and the couch and the film on tv
Being with you it's not always a grace
When I was a ghost I'll just want us to be alone
And you know that I'll wait for you
And you know that we say pass through
Because one thing that is always true
To be with you
There is nothing better
There is nothing better
It's all the time
It's all it now
It's all for you
I won't give in
I won't forget
Won't forget
We used to talk by the place by the sea
Where the pick yellow sign and an old well on tree
There's no other place that I would rather be
And know, dreamer know
I wish you could take me home
I'm no good without you
I wish you could just take me home
If there is one thing I know now
There's no better place than a home
The lyrics of Shake Shake Go's song "There's nothing better" showcases the feeling of longing for a place to call home and the comfort and safety that comes with it. The song portrays the feeling of being lost and alone in a world where everyone seems to be in love or with someone they can hold onto. The first verse describes the uncertainty and confusion of journeying alone, and how even nature itself can be bewildered at times. The chorus emphasizes the belief that nothing is better than being with someone you care about and the longing for the safety and comfort that comes with being home.
The second verse starts with the realization that growing old might bring changes in a relationship and how it may not always be perfect, but being with that person is still worth it. The song then wraps up with a nostalgic memory of a place that used to be special for the singer, one that they would rather be than anywhere else, asking to be taken back to that place.
The song's meaning resonates with individuals who are searching for something or someone to hold on to in life and who need a sense of belonging. It speaks to the heart of those who miss the feeling of warmth and safety that comes with home.
