1) A band from Dinslaken, Germany consisting of four young men who play a mixture of indie rock and modern beat music.
2) A band from Wisconsin, USA that played indie rock and punk rock from 2001 to 2004 before going on to become "Beach Patrol."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) THE RUMOURS is a newcomer band from Dinslaken
(Germany) consisting of four young lads in their early
twenties. Their music can be described as a mixture of
Indierock and Modern Beat.
Founded in September 2006, THE RUMOURS have been
supported by the program “Initiative Musik” with project funds from the German Federal Government by the end of 2009. Only a few month later the boys signed a contract with BMG Rights Management and in June 2010 their debut "From the corner into your ear" was released. Handmade and in your face! It does not rely on bells and whistles and unnecessary bulk, but has got everything that true Indie Rock needs: catchy tunes, one of the best upcoming German drummers, joy of playing and an excellent unique voice. Pounding, expressive, positive! What The Strokes are for USA...are The Rumours for Germany!
2) The Rumours started in a small town near Green Bay, Wisconsin and is on the self-created "duck on monkey" record label. Their music consists of indie and punk stylings consistent with a beginning band. Aside from an initial disc, there are no known later releases. The band functioned from June 2001 to January 2004, after which they went on to become the band "Beach Patrol."
Band members include Nick Marcantonio (lead guitar/vocals), Jeff VanDreel (bass/vocals), Preston Ely (drums), Holly Trasti (rhythm guitar), and John Schmidt (drums).
Get Together
The Rumours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you get down
And it feels like you're liberated but bound
We're gonna get one time to get together
One chance to make it better
Should I say yes
Should I say no
I wanna have it all
I wanna get one time to get together
Oh yeah we're gonna get
I just wanna get one time
I said we're gonna get
I just wanna get one time
Then you ask me when
I say now
You ask me what it is
I say that I don't know
Can we please take it slow
Why can't you just hold on now
Take me for a ride
Through the gloomy night
Let me be your guide
And then we're gonna get
I just wanna get one time
I said we're gonna get
I just wanna get one time
And get it off
‘Cause every day you get up
Then you get down
And it feels like you're liberated but bound
We're gonna get one time to get together
One place to make it better
Should I say yes
Should I say no
You ask me what I want
I wanna take it all
I wanna get one time to get together
Get together!
Yeah!
In The Rumours' song "Get together", the lyrics highlight the ups and downs of daily life, as well as the desire to break free from feeling trapped. The opening lines describe the monotony of life's routine, where each day starts with hope and ends in disappointment. The chorus, "We're gonna get one time to get together, one chance to make it better," is a rallying cry for the need to seize an opportunity to make a change and escape that routine.
The lyrics also explore the uncertainty and indecision that comes with making a decision, as conveyed in the lines, "Should I say yes, should I say no, you ask me what I want, I want to have it all." The singer wants to get everything they desire in life, and they recognize that there may be limitations or consequences to their choices. Even so, they persist in wanting to "get one time to get together," to achieve their ambitions and live life to the fullest.
The song progresses with a sense of urgency as the singer implores their partner to act and not waste the opportunity to be together, "Can we please take it slow, why can't you just hold on now, take me for a ride through the gloomy night, let me be your guide." The lyrics express a longing for connection and the willingness to act as a guide to lead someone out of their own rut. The repetition of the chorus serves as a reminder to seize the moment and create positive change.

Every day you get up
Each day you wake up
Then you get down
And then you experience a low moment
And it feels like you're liberated but bound
It's a conflicting feeling of being free yet limited
We're gonna get one time to get together
We just have one opportunity to unite
One chance to make it better
We have only one shot at improvement
Should I say yes
I'm undecided
Should I say no
I'm still unsure
You ask me what I want
You're inquiring about my desires
I wanna have it all
I want everything
I wanna get one time to get together
I want the single opportunity to come together
Oh yeah we're gonna get
We will definitely achieve our goal
I just wanna get one time
I only want to have the one chance
I said we're gonna get
I'm confident we will succeed
Then you ask me when
You inquire about the timing
I say now
I think we should do it immediately
You ask me what it is
You want to know what it is we're doing
I say that I don't know
I confess that I'm uncertain
Can we please take it slow
Can we proceed at a more relaxed pace?
Why can't you just hold on now
Can't you be patient for a moment?
Take me for a ride
Come along with me
Through the gloomy night
Through the darkness
Let me be your guide
Let me show you the way
And get it off
Let's get going
'Cause every day you get up
Because every morning you wake up
Then you get down
But then you experience a low moment
And it feels like you're liberated but bound
It's as if you're free yet restricted
We're gonna get one time to get together
We only have one chance to unite
One place to make it better
One opportunity to improve things
Should I say yes
I'm still hesitant
Should I say no
I'm still undecided
You ask me what I want
You ask what it is that I desire
I wanna take it all
I want to seize every opportunity
I wanna get one time to get together
I want the one chance to unite
Get together!
Join together!
Yeah!
Indeed!
