Formed in the beginning of 1998 by Patrice LOUIS (Guitar) and Thierry DAGNICOURT (Keyboards), SHANNON plays a melodic hard rock that sticks to the skin. During the spring of 1998, the band enroles ex-JANNYLEE's singer Olivier DEL VALLE behind the mike, then Claude THILL (ex-DER KAISER) playing bass and Maxence PILO (ex-HEAVENLY) at the drum kit join the band to finally complete the line-up. Their debut and eponymous album (Shannon, released in November 2003 on the Anvilcorp. label and distributed by Wagram has been unanimously praised and regarded by the international press as one of the most impressive and brilliant record of the year in the Classic 80's US melodic rock style. With catchy hook lines, infectious choruses and a groovy and powerful rhythm section, SHANNON is the perfect alchemy between classic US melodic hard rock and typical European influenced NWOBHM sound, delivering a music as powerful as melodic. After the release of the album, the band takes the road and shares the stage with renowned artists such as Axxis, PINK CREAM 69 and Jeff Scott SOTO in Paris. In the middle of 2005, SHANNON sees its first line-up changes with the departure of Claude and Maxence, immediately replaced by, respectively, Nicolas FIXY (Bass) and Benjamin BERGEROLLE (Drums), both formerly in French epic-progressive TAÏ PHONG. Strongly encouraged with the success of their self-titled album, not only in France, but widely abroad, the band has taken the way to the studio to record, more motivated than ever. WORLD OF DESIRE, a 5-track demo EP, was released in 2007. SHANNON played several shows to present the new songs and was selected to play before GOTTHARD at the RAISMES FESTIVAL. Some special guests are invited and did some backing vocals (Gianni PONTILLO, Ben SOTTO, Ben VENET, Bruno LEVESQUE, Jens WALKENHORST) and a duet with Renaud HANTSON was recorded. The band signed with ArtistService at the end of 2007 and Angel In Disguise, the brand new album, even more powerful than their debut, is world wide distributed by MusicBuyMail. Never missing an opportunity to play live, the band played eventually at the PARIS METAL FRANCE FESTIVAL. After been part of the September nights open air festival with Axxis and Krokus, the band shall soon be back to the studios to record their 3rd album, Circus Of Lost Souls, released in 2013.

Come Fly Away
Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowers bloom and leaves are changing too,
Change with you, like
The earth and like the dirt underneath my feet
The sun beams down on me
Surrounds me with trees
Come away with me
I can show you things you've never seen
Come away with me
A journey unforseen
Do you trust me
Then, come away
Co come a, come away with me
I don't have the time for time wasters
Don't think my schedule is free
Waiting here for you with cold feet
Knowing damn well you ain't coming
Why you do that shit
Got my hopes all high and shit
I'ma still get high and shit
With or without you
Relax and be cool
Cause I don't need you to
Come away with me
Come away with me
Come away with me
I can show you things you've never seen
Soul enlightening
Come away with me
A journey unforseen
Do you trust me
Then, come away
Co come a, come away with me
The lyrics to Shannon's song "Come Fly Away" speak about the transient nature of life and the concept of change. The opening lines suggest that changes are constant, just like seasons and the cycle of nature. The mention of flowers blooming and leaves changing symbolizes the fleeting nature of certain experiences and relationships. The singer acknowledges their willingness to adapt and change alongside the person they are addressing, comparing their loyalty to the steadfastness of the earth and the grounding sensation of dirt beneath their feet.
The following lines invoke a sense of freedom and exploration. The sun's warmth and the surrounding trees create a serene atmosphere, inviting the person to come away on a journey of discovery. The singer promises to show them things they have never seen before, hinting at new perspectives and soul-enlightening experiences. Trust becomes essential in this invitation, as the singer asks if the person can trust them enough to come away.
The second paragraph takes a more disillusioned and cynical tone. The singer expresses frustration with someone who has been unreliable and has wasted their time. The mention of waiting with "cold feet" suggests a sense of disappointment and resentment towards this person's repeated flakiness. However, despite the letdown, the singer asserts their independence and self-sufficiency, stating that they will continue to enjoy themselves regardless of the person's presence. The last lines of the song reiterate the invitation to come away with them, emphasizing once again the need for trust as they seek an unforeseen journey together.
Overall, "Come Fly Away" presents a juxtaposition between the desire for connection and the resolve to be self-reliant, highlighting the ebb and flow of relationships and the importance of trust in navigating life's changes.
