The idea for the project began one day a couple of years ago when Alaina made fun of Patrick for playing tennis in college. A year later the two fled their hometown Denver to spend eight months sailing and exploring the North Atlantic coast. During their adventures they began writing music together documenting their experiences. The Longboat Pass Songfacts reports that the pair eventually recorded their songs. The resulting album, Cape Dory, is about their time on the seas, the majority of the tracks being about the difficulties they experienced during their trip.
There other artists with the same name:
2. Australian Indie band containing two brothers, two cousins and a mystery bass player. Tennis have left the halcyon days of art school behind in pursuit of the perfect musical storm. Tennis played their first gig at a strip club in Surry Hills circa ’06, simultaneously debuting in Sydney’s indie and adult entertainment scenes.
Pursuing the former rather than the latter, Tennis have since graced the stages of many more credible venues, supporting the likes of; Matt & Kim(USA), The Ruby Suns(NZ), Wolf and Cub, Children Collide, Lost Valentinos, Tame Impala and The Holidays. Their colliding beats, wild rhythms, melodic vocals and stark atmospheres meld into a festive music de force driving listeners into a sweaty rapture.
3. IDM project of Ben Edwards & Douglas Benford. Their releases:
Wooden Sweets (CD, 2000)
Duckshelf / Interview (7", Expanding 2001)
Europe On Horseback (CD, BiP_HOp 2001)
Furlines (2xCD, BiP_HOp 2003)
4. A now-defunct alternative pop/punk band from New York consisting of singer/guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist Kris Bauman, and drummer Jochen Rueckert.
I'll Haunt You
Tennis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over my shoulder
I can tell I've
Been getting older
Drawn to you
Like the horizon
I'm the first one
To break the silence
I can tell I've been getting
I can tell, I
I can tell I've been getting
I can tell, I
As the sun slips
Over my shoulder
All my need is
Pulling me closer
Only you
Make this rock spinning
Off to nowhere
Much more appealing
On the edge of the earth
On the crest of a wave
How long can we stay like this?
Leaning in for one more kiss
I'm holding you so long
I will haunt you when I'm gone
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
La la la, la
La la la, ooh
La ooh, ah ha-ha
Ooh hey
Hey, hey, hey ha, ha ha ha
The lyrics of Tennis's song I'll Haunt You, explore themes of aging, love, and mortality. The opening line "As the sun slips over my shoulder, I can tell I've been getting older" indicates that the artist recognizes the passage of time and its effects. The reference to the horizon and breaking the silence suggests that the singer is drawn to a particular person. The lines "All my need is pulling me closer, only you make this rock spinning off to nowhere much more appealing" evoke a sense of longing and dependency towards the person being addressed.
The chorus lines "How long can we stay like this? Leaning in for one more kiss, I'm holding you so long, I will haunt you when I'm gone" suggest a sense of urgency in the current moment and a fear of losing the connection between the two individuals. The artist implies that their love is so strong and binding that they will haunt their lover even after they are no longer present physically.
Overall, "I'll Haunt You" is a melancholic reflection on the transient nature of love and the desire to hold onto something that is ultimately fleeting.
Line by Line Meaning
As the sun slips
The sunset is happening as I am observing it
Over my shoulder
I am standing facing a direction where the sunset is happening behind me
I can tell I've
I am aware that I have
Been getting older
I am aging
Drawn to you
I am attracted to you
Like the horizon
My attraction to you is vast and limitless
I'm the first one
I am the initial person
To break the silence
I am the first one to start a conversation after a period of quietness
All my need is
My only urge is
Pulling me closer
It is making me gravitate towards you
Only you
No one else but you
Make this rock spinning
You are the one who makes my life interesting
Off to nowhere
Without you, everything is pointless
Much more appealing
You make my life worth living
On the edge of the earth
We are in a precarious situation
On the crest of a wave
We are riding a high point in our relationship
How long can we stay like this?
I wonder how much longer we can maintain this moment in time
Leaning in for one more kiss
I move in closer to kiss you one more time
I'm holding you so long
I hold on to you for an extended period
I will haunt you when I'm gone
My presence will linger even after I am no more

“ how long can we stay like this? Leaning in for one more kiss. I’m holding you so long. I will haunt you when I’m gone”.
