1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motƶrhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motƶrhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motƶrhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion ā his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.

I'm The Reason
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You was just something in my life
Many days I stayed at home
Tired of life just need to be alone
I can't see life without you and me
I can't see or be anything else
You're long gone when I need you here
So I'm the reason why we apart
I'm the reason why you won't stay
I'm the cause of these broken hearts
I'm the reason why love I know is leaving my life
Many night I followed you
Just to see if you were telling the truth
Many days I questioned you
I just didn't trust what you said you'll do
I can't see life without you and me
I can't see or be anything else (oh yes)
You're long gone when I need you here
And I can't blame nobody but myself
So I'm the reason why we apart
I'm the reason why you won't stay
I'm the cause of these broken hearts
I'm the reason why love I know is leaving my life
So I'm the reason why we apart
I'm the reason why you won't stay (ohhh)
I'm the cause of these broken hearts
I'm the reason why
I'm the reason why
I'm the reason why
I'm the reason why
I'm the reason why
Tank's "I'm The Reason" is a melancholic reflection of the singer's regrets and self-blaming over a failed relationship. The song details how the singer couldn't appreciate their partner, didn't trust them enough to answer their questions truthfully, and failed to invest enough time and effort into the relationship. They now find themselves alone, realizing that they are the cause of their own heartbreak. Despite the pain, the singer can't help but acknowledge that they still need and want their partner in their life.
The lyrics illustrate a clear sense of accountability and self-awareness, as the singer acknowledges their faults and accepts responsibility for their actions. The repetition of "I'm the reason why" emphasizes the singer's ownership of their mistakes and how they are solely responsible for the end of the relationship. The emotional weight of the song is enhanced by Tank's soulful and pained delivery, underscoring the sense of loss and regret felt by the singer.
