Arfyn Rhys - Vox, Guitar. Phil Beastall - Drums. Ryan Kent - Bass.
We are The Revival.
Taking inspiration from most classic rock n roll bands, The Revival sound like a CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL BAND with great tunes and lovely melodies. Due to songwriter Arfyn Rhys' inability to play his instrument properly and learn more than 4 chords, there is nothing complicated about our music. Music does not need to be complicated. There should be more bands like us. There aren't. Unfortunately. We also try our hand at some delightful acoustic sounds - which completely works. Some might even say its our best material, I couldn't possibly say. What I will say is that Julian Clegg's ears are fucking massive, so make of that what you will. Sit back and enjoy the delights of The Revival - who are absolutely not a gospel christian band who shared the same name once upon a time.
The Revival are probably better than you.

Don't You
The Revival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's your fault I'm hanging with him
You said I would enjoy my freedom
You think you've got it all figured out
But you don't know Jack
Like I do, like I do
You never felt what I felt
Losing you, losing you
This soon, this soon
No, you don't know Jack
Like I do
You never been hurt like this
Never had to drink away the blues
So you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
He never leaves since you left me
I can't be alone with all these memories
You said I'd be fine, that it wasn't true love
You said it was time for us to move on
But you don't know Jack
Like I do, like I do
You never felt what I felt
Losing you, losing you
I can't get over it
This soon, this soon
No, you don't know Jack
Like I do
You never been hurt like this
Never had to drink away the blues
So you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
I know every detail of that black and white label
You broke my heart, he put me under the table
My old friend #7
Sour mash medicine
Yeah, I know him better than I should
But you don't know Jack
Like I do, like I do
You don't know Jack
Like I do
No, you don't know Jack
Like I do, like I do
You never felt what I felt
Losing you, losing you
I can't get over it
This soon, this soon
No, you don't know Jack
Like I do
You never been hurt like this
Never had to drink away the blues
So you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
Like I do
No you don't know Jack
The Revival's "Don't You" is a song about heartbreak, loss, and the struggles of moving on after a breakup. The lyrics revolve around the singer's pain and desperation, as they drink to numb the pain of losing their partner. The song begins with the singer taking one more sip, blaming their drinking on their ex's suggestion that they enjoy their freedom. They point the finger, claiming that it's their ex's fault they're hanging out with someone new. The lyrics suggest that their ex believed they had everything figured out when they ended the relationship. The singer, however, feels as though their ex doesn't know the pain they are suffering.
The lyrics are brutally honest and raw, detailing how the singer is struggling to get over their former partner. The chorus is a cry of desperation, as the singer declares that their ex doesn't know Jack like they do. They have never experienced the pain and heartbreak that the singer is feeling, and they have never had to drink away the blues. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer lists off the various details of Jack Daniels, the drink they are using to numb their pain. They claim to know him better than they should, suggesting that they are relying on Jack Daniels to get them through this difficult time. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of hopelessness, with the singer unable to move on from the person they loved.

Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me.
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plough?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me.
[CHORUS:]
Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin';
Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too.
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me.
[CHORUS]
Who will take the coal from the mines?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me.

¿Quién tomará el carbón de la mina?
¿Quién tomará la sal de la tierra?
¿Quién tomará una hoja y la convertirá en un árbol?
No mires ahora, no somos ni tú ni yo
¿Quién va a trabajar el campo con las manos?
¿Quién le pondrá la espalda al arado?
¿Quién tomará la montaña y la echará al mar?
No mires ahora, no somos ni tú ni yo
No mires ahora, alguien ha muerto de hambre
No mires ahora, alguien también ha hecho tu oración
¿Quién hará los zapatos para tus pies?
¿Quién hará la ropa que usas?
¿Quién hará la promesa que no vas a cumplir?
No mires ahora, no somos tú ni yo
No mires ahora, alguien ha muerto de hambre
No mires ahora, alguien también ha hecho tu oración
¿Quién tomará el carbón de las minas?
¿Quién tomará la sal de la tierra?
¿Quién hará la promesa que no vas a cumplir?
No mires ahora, no somos ni tú ni yo

Me (20) and my great uncle (late 80s) often used to listen to creedence and sing along in the old battered up car. I still do but my uncle is in a very bad space physically and mentally. This is going onto his playlist on the laptop I bought him.
He has been more than a father figure in my teen years and I really hope this cheers him up.

Man o Women O Child what a song, words written by a deeply thoughtful, wise and kind caring man called John Fogerty, this is the type of song that a much older person would write after working long hard years and living through many troubled and sad / bad times but a person who has a good life and who cared for others
@irisyiannoulis5992
