After the band broke up, Rob Walker enlisted in the Air Force Band of New England, Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire. He is still in service, currently stationed in Active Duty with the Band of the US Air Force Reserve at Robins Air Force Base. He has performed with many great musicians as a result, including pianist Kevin Joseph Barnett (Kevin J. Barnett).
Mike Causey can still be seen playing around Warner Robins. Al Scarborough plays bass with a band called The Wall in Warner Robins and Macon Ga. Rob Walker occasionally drops in to play with The Wall too. David Heck currently lives and performs in Denver, CO. Bob Spearman, who also played with The Wall, died of cancer. - wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater_(band)).

Cameron Crowe's 2000 movie, Almost Famous, left some wondering if Stillwater was a real band or not. The answer is yes, but the band featured in the movie was completely fictional and based on several groups that Crowe covered for Rolling Stone during the early '70s (namely the Eagles and Led Zeppelin, among others). The 'real' Stillwater was an obscure multi-membered southern rock, that featured a triple guitar team of Mike Causey (guitar), Bobby Golden (guitar, vocals), and Rob Walker (guitar), plus Jimmy Hall (vocals, percussion), Allison Scarborough (bass, vocals), Bob Spearman (keyboards, vocals), and Sebie Lacey (drums). Originally formed in Georgia during 1973, Stillwater issued only a pair of albums during the late '70s - 1977's self titled debut and 1979's I Reserve the Right! - and narrowly missed scoring a top 40 hit single with the track "Mind Bender." Between the near-hit single and steady opening gigs for the Atlanta Rhythm Section and the Charlie Daniels Band (the latter of which was riding high at the time with their monster crossover hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"), Stillwater seemed to be on the right track for breakthrough success. But when their record label, Capricorn Records, hit upon hard times, Stillwater found themselves without a label, and broke up soonafter. 1997 saw several live tracks from 1978 included on the Alive Down South multi-artist collection, which was followed by a Stillwater reunion the same year. A new album Running Free, was released a year later, and the group has began to play live shows once more. Just before shooting began on Crowe's Almost Famous, the director had to clear the use of the name 'Stillwater' with the band, which they agreed to after reading the script. ~-Greg Prato (http://www.artistdirect.com/artist/bio/stillwater/497718).
Night After Night
Stillwater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most
And when he came to his true love's dwelling
He knelt down gently upon a stone
And through her window he whispered lowly
Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
Wake up wake up love and let me in
For I am tired love and oh so weary
And more than near drenched to the skin
She's raised her off her down soft pillow
She's raised her off and she's let him in
And they were locked in each other's arms
Until that long night was past and gone
And when that long night was passed and over
And when the small clouds began to grow
He's taken her hand and they've kissed and parted
And he saddled and mounted and away did go
I must away love I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most
The lyrics of Stillwater's song "Night After Night" are actually a traditional Irish ballad called "I Must Away, Love".

When the morning comes, he must leave once again, on his journey, but promises to come back to her as soon as he can.
The song is a quintessential example of a traditional Irish ballad, with its poetic language, emotive storytelling, and melodic structure. It speaks to the heart's yearning for love and connection, as well as the bittersweet reality of separation and longing.

I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
I have to leave now, my love, and cannot stay any longer
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I have to face the storm that is awaiting me this morning
I must be guided without a stumble
I must be directed without any mistakes
Into the arms I love the most
So that I can be with the person I love the most
And when he came to his true love's dwelling
When he arrived at his lover's home
He knelt down gently upon a stone
He went down on one knee softly, atop a stone
And through her window he whispered lowly
He softly whispered through her window
Is my true lover within at home?
Is my true love at home?
Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
Please wake up my love, it is me, your true lover
Wake up wake up love and let me in
Wake up and allow me to come in
For I am tired love and oh so weary
I am exhausted, my love, and extremely tired
And more than near drenched to the skin
And I am close to being soaked all the way through
She's raised her off her down soft pillow
She lifted herself gently off her soft pillow
She's raised her off and she's let him in
She got up and allowed him to enter
And they were locked in each other's arms
And they embraced each other tightly
Until that long night was past and gone
Until the long night had passed by
And when that long night was passed and over
And when the long night had finally ended
And when the small clouds began to grow
And when the small clouds started to form in the sky
He's taken her hand and they've kissed and parted
He held her hand and they kissed before saying goodbye
And he saddled and mounted and away did go
He got on his horse and rode away
I must away love I can no longer tarry
I have to leave now, my love, and cannot stay any longer
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I have to face the storm that is awaiting me this morning
I must be guided without a stumble
I must be directed without any mistakes
Into the arms I love the most
So that I can be with the person I love the most
