1) The 411 were a four piece … Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands with the name 411.
1) The 411 were a four piece English female R&B group formed late in 2002 featuring members Tisha,Tanya,Suzie and Carolyn. The band formed after a couple of the members sang back up vocals on Lemar’s version of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”. The band took its name after the Mary J. Blige song “What’s The 411?”.
The groups first single “On My Knees” featured Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan and was a hit in the UK (reaching top 5) and Australia (reaching top 30). A second single, “Dumb”, reached top 3 in the UK and also reached the top 30 in Australia. These singles appeared on their album, Between The Sheets, featuring songs written by Diane Warren and Dion of Big Brovaz, Redeye and the 411 themselves. A third single was also released, preceding the album by one week, called “Teardrops”, but only made #23 in the UK. Following the merger of Sony Music with BMG the group were dropped by Sony Music, and went their separate ways.
The 411 are now back together, with a slightly changed line up of Carolyn Owlett, Tanya Boniface, Tisha Martin and new girl Nuala Farrely who was part of the Sunshyne project with Tanya and Tisha. The new 411 are currently in the studio and searching for a record deal.
2) 411 was the bi-product of the end of 1980’s hardcore. At a time when the youth were getting older, going to college, trading their Straight Edge for a different way, the underground stars of our youth were also taking a less intense approach to getting the message out. Adopting melody and insightful lyrics over straight forward, in your face attacks was the way of life entering the 1990’s.
Enter 411!! The project fronted by former NO FOR AN ANSWER and CARRY NATION singer/mouthpiece, Dan O’Mahony (later with VOICEBOX, GOD FORGOT, SPEAK714, and JOHN HENRY HOLIDAY). Taking hardcore music to a level that only a few had attempted. Adding perfect words to an already flawless sound. Giving those of us who listened a challenge to go beyond the typical rant and making think before we speak.
Taking with him his co-conspirator Kevin Murphy, they assembled a team that would take on the current and fight the waves. Making an underground impact with the 2 song 7 inch record, “Thoughts That Feed The Fire”, in 1990; then a head-on attack in 1991 with “This Isn’t Me”. They took their assault on the road a half dozen times until the end of the road only a few years after.
Even now, in 2007, older hardcore types have been searching high and low for another taste of this underground powerhouse. A band that was 15 years ahead of their time with little recognition.
Can't Fight Love
The 411 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She never deserved you
Sorry if it hurts her
But I've gotta have you
This might end our friendship
A chance I'm gonna take it
If you feel the same way
Would she take your coat
When you come in from out the rain?
Would she hold your hand again
If it eased away your pain?
Would she try her best
To give you room to grow?
Or would it all just be a show
Or could it all just be in vain?
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
Don't you turn and walk away
And 'cause I thought I heard you say
You lost it time and time again
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
You can't buy it on a shelf
You should look for no one else
Nobody but myself
I've been standing by
In a silence I have cried
Longing to hold you in the night
But I never spoke a word
And all the love in me
Can't reveal the way I feel
But when I tell you what's inside
Don't you run away for miles
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
Don't you turn and walk away
And 'cause I thought I heard you say
You lost it time and time again
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
You can't buy it on a shelf
You should look for no one else
Nobody but myself
See I'm the one that loves you
She never deserved you
Sorry if it hurts her
But I've gotta have you
This might end our friendship
A chance I'm gonna take it
If you feel the same way
I know that we can make it
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
Don't you turn and walk away
And 'cause I thought I heard you say
You lost it time and time again
You can't fight love
No, you can't fight love
You can't buy it on a shelf
You should look for no one else
Nobody but myself
You can't fight love

Would she take your coat
Would the person you are with be there for you in small ways?
When you come in from out the rain?
Would they be there for you in moments of vulnerability?
Would she hold your hand again

You should look for no one else
You should pursue no other romantic interests
Nobody but myself
I am the one you should be with
I've been standing by
I have been waiting patiently
In a silence I have cried
I have silently yearned for your affection
Longing to hold you in the night
I have longed to be close to you
But I never spoke a word
But I have kept my feelings hidden
And all the love in me
My love for you
Can't reveal the way I feel
Has been held back
But when I tell you what's inside
But when I finally confess my feelings
Don't you run away for miles
Please don't push me away
