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.

Please Don't Go
The Revival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don’t seem to get a lot of sleep
Night after night feels like a maze
I keep on calculating different ways
How to spend my days
I’ll be gone, out of my mind
Body’s aching all the time
Let it take over my soul
There’s no reason to pretend
And no time to spend
So please don’t stop the boogie
Please don’t stop the beat
Please don’t stop the groove
That keeps knocking on my feet
You know I kinda like it
Dancing with the beat
So please don’t stop the groove
That keeps knocking on my feet
Please don’t stop the...
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
I don’t seem to understand
How the darkness has so many faces
And so many friends
Bent over backwards
Yeah it got me feeling bad
All those late night conversations
Just don’t make it right
So please don’t stop the boogie
Please don’t stop the beat
Please don’t stop the groove
That keeps knocking on my feet
You know I kinda like it
Dancing with the beat
So please don’t stop the groove
That keeps knocking on my feet
Please don’t stop the...
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Boogie Boogie
Dance cause it sets the fire
Oh Dance it will bring you back
On your feet
It will take you higher
Yes it will bring you back
So just Dance...
In "Please Don't Go" by The Revival, the lyrics reflect the emotional turmoil and exhaustion the singer is experiencing in their life. The first verse expresses the weight of deep conversations and sleepless nights that feel like a never-ending maze. The singer is constantly searching for different ways to spend their days, perhaps in an attempt to escape or find some relief from the overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
The chorus serves as a plea to not stop the boogie, the beat, and the groove that keeps knocking on the singer's feet. It's a metaphorical representation of the need for something to distract or consume them, a way to forget about the troubles and embrace the rhythm of life. The singer finds solace in dancing with the beat, as it allows them to let go and surrender to the rhythm that can take over their soul.
The second verse delves into the singer's struggle with darkness. The darkness is personified with many faces and friends, which suggests that it takes many forms and influences in their life. The singer acknowledges the negative impact it has on them, making them feel bad and trying to bend them backwards. Late-night conversations, although they may provide temporary comfort, cannot fully fix the situation or make things right.
The song emphasizes the healing power of dance. It sets the fire within, brings someone back on their feet, and takes them higher. Dancing becomes a source of escape and rejuvenation, offering a temporary reprieve from the challenges and pain in their life.

When conversations run too deep
When discussions become overly intense and personal
And I don't seem to get a lot of sleep
And I struggle to get enough rest
Night after night feels like a maze
Every night feels confusing and complicated
I keep on calculating different ways
I continuously analyze various options
How to spend my days
On how to occupy my time
I'll be gone, out of my mind
I'll lose myself in the process
Body's aching all the time
My body constantly feels tired and sore
Need a moment to let go
Require a moment to release and relax
Let it take over my soul
Allow it to consume my being
There's no reason to pretend
There's no need to fake or deceive
And no time to spend
And no time to waste
So please don't stop the boogie
So please continue the lively rhythm
Please don't stop the beat
Please don't halt the strong musical pulse
Please don't stop the groove
Please don't interrupt the captivating flow
That keeps knocking on my feet
That keeps enticing me to dance
You know I kinda like it
You know I somewhat enjoy it
Dancing with the beat
Moving rhythmically with the music
So please don't stop the groove
So please don't halt the captivating flow
That keeps knocking on my feet
That keeps enticing me to dance
I don't seem to understand
I don't seem to comprehend
How the darkness has so many faces
Why negativity takes on various forms
And so many friends
And has so many companions
Bent over backwards
Exhausted and overwhelmed
Yeah it got me feeling bad
Yes, it has made me feel miserable
All those late night conversations
All those emotional discussions during the late hours
Just don't make it right
Simply don't make things better
Dance cause it sets the fire
Dance because it ignites a passion within
Oh Dance it will bring you back
Oh, dancing will bring you back to yourself
On your feet
Standing and moving
It will take you higher
It will elevate your state of being
Yes it will bring you back
Indeed, it will restore you
So just Dance...
So simply dance and let go
