1.Standfast is a two-piece Swedish band, formed in 1997 and comprising singer Suzanne Mosson and guitarist Patrick Turner. The duo are best known for their 2001 single, "Carcrashes".
In 1997, Suzanne Mosson, a back-up singer for Swedish singer Dilba, met Patrick Tucker, then a studio and tour musician, in Stockholm and decided to try their luck as a team. They rented a tiny rehearsal studio, acquired an 8-track recorder and a cheap red plastic organ and started writing and recording.
After a year, the duo decided to take a break. Tucker became a member of the Murlyn Music song-writing team and wrote a few hits such as "Because of You" by 98 Degrees and "Only For You" by Ronan Keating. Meanwhile, Mosson composed a tune that was to become "Shine On", a track on the Standfast album.
Mosson and Tucker wanted to present their songs to a record company in person, but EMI Music refused telling them to send a demo or "forget it". Two days later they called and said they liked "No Longer" and wanted to see them.

Standfast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
People say I'm so much better off alone
大家说我独自一人过得很好
I'm still fighting trying to fine a way back home
Despite the arguing stress and shame
除了争吵 压力 羞愧
Nothing's ever safe and sound
一切都不曾安然无恙
Everyday's like world war three
每天都生活在战火弥漫的硝烟中
I still wanna be around
我仍想在你身边
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
I'm the night and you're the day
我是黑夜 你是白昼
That's what they say
他们这样说道
When you're the in your best mood I get swept away
当你开心快乐时 我会悄悄离开
You're a blessing yet a pain
你痛并着快乐
Nothing's ever safe and sound
一切都不曾安然无恙
Like missile on its way
就像已发射的导弹
I still wanna be around
我仍想在你身边
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
You're a blessing yet a pain
你痛并着快乐
Nothing's ever safe and sound
一切都不曾安然无恙
Like a missile on its way
就像已发射的导弹
I still wanna be around
我仍想在你身边
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
就在下午晚些时分
When the rain starts to fall
天空开始下着细雨
Shine on again
再次照亮你的世界
Later on in the afternoon
