In 1984, Gary Newby, Brian Bateman, Guy Keegan, and Stephen Hull formed The Railway Children. They signed to legendary Manchester record label, Factory Records and started to record their debut album Reunion Wilderness in 1987. They were signed to Virgin Records soon afterwards. The next year, the band released their second album, Recurrence, to little commercial success. In 1990, they released Native Place, an album that incorperated some elements of the current club music trends in England at the time.
"Every Beat of the Heart" became a top 40 hit in the UK with a peak at #24, and the song became a #1 hit on the newly-founded Alternative chart in the US. In 1992, EMI took over Virgin Records, and the band left the label. Two years later, the band broke up, although Newby released one more album as "The Railway Children" without the other members of the group. Keegan later had a spell in Wigan-based folk-rock band The Tansads.
Because
The Railway Children Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be the one I'll find always on my mind
'Cause I've just been for a ride to heaven
And I stopped right outside your door back for more
Be strong for love or just because
Be the one to love, there's hope in what this does
'Cause I've just been for a ride to heaven
And I stopped right outside your door back for more
Be strong for love or just because
Be strong for love or just because
Be the one to love just open up your heart
Read between the lines, observe the find is mine
'Cause I've just been for a ride to heaven
And I stopped right outside your door back for more
For love or just because
Be strong for love or just because
For love or just because
Be strong for love or just because
These are love song lyrics that describe the singer's desire for a reciprocal love relationship where the other person opens up their heart and becomes someone that is always on the singer's mind. The singer has just had an intense emotional experience, possibly feeling as if they have been transported to heaven, and now wants to share that experience with the person they love. The repetition of the phrase "back for more" implies that this love is something the singer has experienced before and wants to continue experiencing.
The song encourages the listener to be strong in love just because. On the surface, this could be interpreted as a suggestion to stay committed to a relationship even when it may be difficult, but it could also be interpreted as a commentary on love's unpredictable nature. Love may not always make sense or be rational, but the singer is encouraging the listener to be strong in it and embrace it anyway.
Overall, the lyrics of "Because" convey a message of love, hope, and the desire for a deep connection with another person. The repetition of phrases and themes throughout the song add to its emotional impact and indicate that this love is something that is recurring and important to the singer.
