The Dualers… Read Full Bio ↴The Dualers are street performing brothers Si and Tyber.
The Dualers perform a unique blend of ska, soul and reggae that appeals to all ages with members of their database ranging from 1 to 91. They have a fan base of approaching 10,000 members but have probably been seen by in excess of 4 million whilst busking around the south east and performing at private functions, for the last 8 years. They have sold over 35,000 copies of their first two cd's on the streets alone.
As children they were brought up on ska and soul, the music their father Bill Cranstoun was instrumental in introducing to London, with his Savoy Sound System at several locations in the 60’s including regular nights at the Swan & Sugar Loaf in Croydon, The King Alfred in Sydenham and The Bedford Arms in Balham. Their mother Jacqueline, born in Sierra Leone, who met Bill at the Locarno Ballroom in Streatham, was pulled into work the cloakrooms and to keep an eye on him!
Si and Tyber remember “Growing up in our house we were listening to The Blues Busters, Lord Creator, Stranger Cole, Bob Marley, The Skatalites, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding to name a few”
The family lived all across the south east whilst the boys were growing up including Bromley, Canterbury, Croydon, London and Penge as such all these places feel like their home town. Tyber currently lives in Greenwich, London and Si in Caterham, Surrey.
Music has always been Si and Tyber’s first love and upon leaving school Simon pursued music as a career and he enjoyed some success. Tyber attended the elite Guildhall School of Music and Drama also attended by Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGregor and after some television success Tyber decided to join his brother singing on the streets.
Whenever they have performed they have had a phenomenal response whether on the streets or in clubs their lively and charismatic performance has blown audiences away.
Their debut single “Kiss On The Lips” entered the charts on Sunday 24th October 2004 at number 21 ahead of established artists such as Bjork and Slipknot and this has sent a shockwave throughout the music industry. Despite no national coverage or airplay, the single stayed in the charts for a second week at number 33.
Amazingly, they did this with only the help of a small group of friends. They had no record contract, no distributor, no agent, no manager and no promoter!
They'll Never Know
The Dualers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the things that I see, yeah
They'll never know, they'll never see
All the things that I see in you girl
That I see in you girl
Believe me, when I tell you
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
To be by your side
Right by your side
Sometimes it feels like I'm just waiting
For that day to come
I hope that you will not escape me
To that lucky one
How I wish, that we could find
A way to get away now
Somewhere somehow
Be careful, 'cos they will hit on
you with no shame
Like the pouring rain
Sometimes it feels like I'm just waiting
For that day to come
I hope that you will not escape me
To that lucky one
'Cos I can feel their eyes already
Knockin' on your door
They will try and take you from me
Of that I'm sure
The Dualers's song "They'll Never Know" is a romantic ballad that expresses the singer's deepest fears of losing his significant other to potential suitors. The first verse of the song talks about the things that the singer sees in his girl that no one else will ever see, implying that their relationship is unique and special. The singer also confesses that he does not want to lose his partner but knows that many people would give anything for a chance to be with her. The chorus then repeats the phrase "they'll never know, they'll never see" as if reassuring the singer's girl that their love is one of a kind.
The second verse of the song continues with the singer's anxieties regarding the possibility of losing his partner to another man. He wishes that they could find a way to "get away now" and escape the prying eyes of potential suitors who will hit on his girl with "no shame" like the pouring rain. The verse ends with the same chorus as the first verse, emphasizing the singer's belief in the uniqueness of their relationship. In the final verse, the singer expresses his fear that his partner may be taken from him by someone else. He says he can already feel their eyes knocking on her door, and he is sure that they will try to take her away from him.
Overall, "They'll Never Know" is a song about love, devotion, and the fear of losing someone special. The song perfectly captures the emotions associated with falling deeply in love and the fear of losing that person to someone else. The song is a perfect tribute to anyone who has experienced such emotions.

They'll never know, they'll never see
The others will never understand what I see in you
All the things that I see, yeah
They will never perceive the things that make you special to me
All the things that I see in you girl
The admirable traits that I see in you are hidden from them
Believe me, when I tell you
Trust me when I say that I don't want to lose you
I don't wanna lose you
I am afraid of losing you
But I know, they'll give anything
I am aware that the others will do anything to be with you
To be by your side
They want to be with you all the time
Sometimes it feels like I'm just waiting
At times, I feel like I'm just biding my time
For that day to come
For the day that we can be together without worry
I hope that you will not escape me
I pray that you don't leave me
To that lucky one
To the person who steals you away from me
How I wish, that we could find
If only we could discover
A way to get away now
A method to escape the others' keen interest
Somewhere somehow
To someplace where no one else knows us
Be careful, 'cos they will hit on you with no shame
Be cautious since they will show their affections brazenly
Like the pouring rain
Their advances will come incessantly like a downpour
'Cos I can feel their eyes already
I sense their glares on you already
Knockin' on your door
They will soon be vying for your affections
They will try and take you from me
They will attempt to capture your heart
Of that I'm sure
I'm convinced that they won't be satisfied until they have won you over
