1. A hardcore … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with the name Speedway.
1. A hardcore band from Stockholm, Sweden formed in 2019 .
2. A now defunct pop-rock group formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2001 by Jill Jackson (lead vocals) and Jim Duguid (drums). They split in 2004.
The band accquired two more members in the shape of bassist Tom Swann from Edinburgh and guitarist Dan Sells, and signed with Innocent Records in 2002, the label home to Blue and Atomic Kitten. The band supported the former on their UK tour in early 2003, and played a number of university gigs as well, and they were noted for playing one song in particular the Christina Aguilera 1999 hit Genie In A Bottle, and as a result, in September 2003, it became their first single as a double-a-side, with another song, Save Yourself and hit #10 in the UK singles chart.
Their second single, Can't Turn Back hit #12 in February 2004, by which point the music industry were citing them as a modern day Pretenders because of their unique pop rock sound which had a feminine touch courtesy of Jill. Their third single, In & Out, hit #33 in June, and their album Save Yourself was released just after Can't Turn Back came out, sadly, it didn't achieve as well as expected. Speedway thus left Innocent Records after their first UK tour.
Jill Jackson is also known for dating Fame Academy Winner Alex Parks and they performed two songs - Don't Let It Get To You, and Stuble - in March 2005, in Bedford

Speedway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you're thinkin',
Something is missing that you need.
There's no way to see if it's you or me,
But I've done nothing wrong,
You need something more than reassurance,
Here with me is where you belong.
CHORUS
Baby please, please remember,
I said please, baby please remember, remember me.
I'm up and I'm down now, thinkin' out loud,
But I don't care oh no,
And I might as well just talk to myself,
'Coz your not there.
And I've tried to say that it's not too late,
Why dan't you understand,
Oh but you don't hear me and won't come near me,
Right beside me you belong.
CHORUS (x4)
The lyrics to Speedway's song "Please" are reflective of a relationship that is at a crossroads. The singer is expressing his desire to keep the relationship intact, even though he senses that something is amiss. He feels stuck in a moment of uncertainty and is hoping that it's not a reality. It's clear that both parties are aware that something is missing, but they're not sure what that something is. The singer acknowledges that he's tried to provide reassurance, but it's not enough. He believes that his partner needs something more than just his words - she needs to feel his presence and love deeply.
The second verse of the song reveals that the singer is feeling lonely and is talking to himself because his partner is not there. He's trying to convey the message that it's not too late to fix the relationship but is met with resistance. He's frustrated that his partner doesn't understand his words and won't come near him. However, he feels confident that she belongs right beside him.
Overall, the song "Please" is about the complexity of relationships and how difficult it can be to communicate with one another. It highlights the importance of not taking things for granted and the value of being present in a relationship.
