<… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists named The Outsiders (16 are mentioned here):
(1) The Outsiders (theoutsiders.eu) were a sixties beat band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Formed in 1960 as a neighbourhood band from Amsterdam East, The Outsiders became one of the most succesful Dutch groups of the 1960s. They made some lastingly great records and never recorded anyone else's material, with singer Wally Tax writing the lyrics and guitarist Ron Splinter the music for nearly all of the twelve 45s and three LPs they made. Other band members included Appie Rammers on bass, Leendert Busch on drums, Ron Splinter on guitar and Tom Krabbendam also on guitar. They are the subject of an official biography written by Jerome Blanes. For more information see the author's website.
(2) The Outsiders is a producer/DJ duo, based in Leiden, The Netherlands, that produces a large variety of sounds and subgenres within Drum & Bass music. The two young friends Jozef van der Veen (also known as Ecepta) and Roeland van Rijnberk (also known as Sorza) have already received support from people like Noisia, NCT, Fre4knc, Monty, SKS, DAYLE and more, with recent releases on Noisia’s labels Division Recordings and Invisible Recordings, as well as SKS’s label Vandal Records. The Outsiders met at school and they have been sharing track ideas with each other since 2013, often resulting in one of them trying to outdo the other. But after three years, the two decided to use each other’s creativity, by making Drum & Bass music together as a duo, which is showing some great results so far. Their music varies from experimental, sound design heavy halftime, to deep, minimal rollers and hard hitting neurofunk.
(3) A US band from Ohio. They started in 1959 as Tom King And The Starfires. After the arrival of the Beatles they changed their sound and changed their name to The Outsiders. Signing to Capitol at the beginning of 1966 their first single Time Won't Let Me was a Number 5 pop hit. They scored 3 more Top Thirty hits that year. Singer Sonny Geraci was later in the band Climax.
(4) American Skinhead band - "The details are a blur... the band started around 1997, I (Duck) was writing a lot of music that wasn't fitting in with the band Squiggy I was playing with. My friend at the time was learning drums so it seemed like a perfect combination. I can work out some of these songs I'm writing and she can practice playing the drums. Who knew it would progress. Luckily my buddy Pat who sang for some other local bands Anotherence and The Sick Boys (who I played in to so I knew he would be perfect) was in-between bands and was interested in what we were doing and then THAT cemented our sound and our dedication to making this an actual band."
(5) Outsiders is a psy-trance duo by Guy Malka & Haim Lev from Israel.

The Outsiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll succeed in breaking my heart
Just you keep on lying
And you'll succeed in tearing it apart
Just you keep on, yeh keep on trying
And you've got me, you've got me crying
My resistance is low now girl
'Cause I love you, don't you know now
Just you keep running around
With every man, every man you know now
And you've got me down and out
I'll be crying before you know
Just keep on trying
It won't take time before I lose my mind
Just you keep on lying
I believe every word because you made me blind
Just you keep on, yeh keep on trying
And you've got me, you've got me crying
My resistance is low now girl
'Cause I love you, don't you know now
Just you keep running around
With every man, every man you know now
And you've got me down and out
I'll be crying before you know now
Just you keep on, come on, keep on trying
And you've got me, down on my knees crying
My resistance is low now girl
'Cause I love you, don't you know now
Just you keep running around
With every man, every man you know now
And you've got me down and out

The Outsiders’ Keep on Trying is a song about a man who is unable to resist the love of a woman who keeps breaking his heart. The song begins with the singer asking the woman to continue trying, promising that with time she will succeed in breaking his heart. He goes on to explain the impact of her continuous lying on his heart, how it will eventually tear it apart.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses mixed emotions towards the woman. On the one hand, he is crying because he loves her and his resistance to her is low, but on the other hand, he is frustrated by her running around with every man she knows. He believes every word she says and is blinded by her acts, making it difficult for him to resist her.

Accidentally tapped onto old Outsiders track "I love her still.....". Immediately transported back to the mid 60's. I was a 15 year old, let loose in Amsterdam for the first. With some Dutch kids we used to hang out at a little club called Las Vegas where the Outsiders played regularly, mainly old Stones covers.
And.....I have an original copy of "I love her still.....". Probably hadn't heard it for 50+ years but it was amazing.....the years rolled back!
