<… 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."

Since I Lost My Baby
The Outsiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a new day is dawning sunny and bright.
But after I've been crying all night the sun is cold
and the new day seems old.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
Birds are singing and the children are playing,
there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.
but fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind her 'bout this love she left behind her.
'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, ev'ry day I'm more inclined to find her,
inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby.
Been a-looking ev'rywhere, baby, I really, really care.
Oh, determination is fading fast. . . Inspiration is a thing of the past. . .
Can't see my hope's gonna last. . .
good things are bad and what's happy is sad.
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
The Outsiders' song "Since I Lost My Baby" is a soulful ballad that reflects on the pain, loneliness, and despair that comes with losing a loved one. The opening lines of the song talk about the brightness and warmth of the sun after a long night, but the singer still feels cold and empty. This is because he has been crying all night, unable to come to terms with the loss of his partner. The use of the sun as a symbol of hope and new beginnings underscores the contrast between the external world and the internal state of mind of the singer.
The chorus of the song, "Since I lost my baby," is a powerful and poignant refrain that captures the sense of loss and regret that the singer feels. Despite the fact that the world around him remains the same, with birds singing and children playing, the singer is unable to enjoy it. He feels a sense of displacement, as if he no longer belongs in a world without his partner. He finds that "fun is a bore and with money I'm poor," highlighting his emotional and financial impoverishment after the breakup.
The last verse of the song contains a message of hope and resilience, as the singer declares his determination to find his lost love. He pleads with someone to help him find her, reminding her of the love they shared. He affirms his commitment to searching for her every day, suggesting that he will not give up until he finds her. This ending imbues the song with a sense of perseverance and resilience, suggesting that even in the face of deep loss, there is always the possibility of new beginnings.

Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life...
Despite the sun shining and the world full of life on this new day, it doesn't matter to me after crying all night. The sun feels cold and the day already seems old because I lost my baby.
Birds are singing and the children are playing...
Ordinarily, I should be happy to hear the birds singing and children playing, there's a lot of work available, and bosses paying but fun is boring and with no money, I'm poor. This is because I lost my baby.
Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?...
I promise to be nicer to my baby next time and request help in finding her. Please remind her about the love that she left behind and I'll try every day to find her because I want to find my baby.
Oh, determination is fading fast.. Inspiration is a thing of the past..Can't see my hope's gonna last..good things are bad and what's happy is sad. Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.
My determination is waning, and inspiration is a distant memory. I can't even see my hope persevering. Everything good is bad, and what's supposed to bring joy, isn't. Since I lost my baby, I feel bad, everything seems wrong, and I’ll continue feeling sad until I find my baby.
