The band consists of Shane Barnard and Shane Everett. The pair used to lead worship at Breakaway Ministries at Texas A&M University. After putting out an album or two, they started doing the recording and touring full time. By God’s grace and gifting, they’ve put out a lot of music. Their aim is that their music would worship God and encourage others to love God more.

Shane Barnard

Christianity began to play an active role in the life of Barnard when he was in ninth grade, when he began to attend a Bible church youth group. He began leading worship soon thereafter. During his junior year as a student at Texas A&M University, Barnard began a recording career.

Prior to joining Everett, Barnard teamed up with friend Caleb Carruth to release an album. Entitled "Salvation Still Remains", it was released in limited numbers. Barnard and Carruth were rumored to have recorded the album in only two days due to the fact they had to pay for studio time themselves and wanting to make the most of it. Family and friends brought them sandwiches and drinks through out the process. Barnard and Carruth later agreed to end their partnership amicably, stating "they were just moving in different directions".

Shane married CCM singer Bethany Dillon on March 29, 2008.

Shane Everett

Everett was born in Dallas, Texas and later moved to Garland, a nearby suburb. Everett also attended Texas A&M University. After playing in a bar band, 4D2, one night Everett experienced an encounter with God which led him to Central Baptist Church, where he became a Christian. Shortly thereafter, he met Barnard, and became part of a weekly student-led praise and worship service at Texas A&M.

The band originally began with Barnard performing solo acts, but Everett increasingly played a major role in his performances. With the release of their 2003 album, entitled Carry Away, the band became officially known as Shane & Shane.

Band Members

Taylor Johnson

Johnson started as a guitarist for Todd Agnew. After Agnew moved to Memphis, Tennessee, Taylor stayed behind and played the guitar for the Robbie Seay Band. When Robbie Seay Band went on tour with Shane & Shane during David Crowder Band's "A Collision Tour", he played guitar for both, staying on with the new group. Taylor later went full time with the David Crowder Band, and is now back with Shane & Shane.

We
Shane & Shane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should know
That I fucked up
The truth we hold
Arrives with dawn
Yeah I know
That I let go
Of control
Thought you should know

God can't save you now
And I can't hold you down
You caught me
Sneaking out
With your heart
Guess we've got to go home now
Can't believe it's all for not
I told you love would hurt
Girl did you hear a word
I guess we'll never know now
And so it goes
The truth is cold
Left unforetold
Gets hard to hold
God can't save me now
And I can't hold you down
Cause you caught me
Sneaking out
With your heart
Guess we've got to go home now
Can't believe it's all for not
I told you love would hurt
Girl did you hear a word
I guess we'll never know now
I told you love would hurt

Girl did you hear a word
I guess we'll never know now

Overall Meaning

The song "We" by Shane & Shane is a melancholic reflection on a failed relationship. The lyrics show that the singer is remorseful and acknowledges their wrongdoing. They admit that they have "fucked up" and let go of control, which caused the relationship to end. The chorus repeats the sentiment that "God can't save me now / And I can't hold you down" as the realization sets in that the damage is done and there is no turning back. The line "You caught me / Sneaking out / With your heart" is particularly powerful, as it portrays the betrayal of trust and the heartache caused by the singer's actions. The song concludes with a sense of resignation as the "truth is cold" and "left unforetold" – leaving the pair with unanswered questions and unfulfilled potential.
