1) The Volumes were an American R&B vocal group formed in 1960 in Detroit, Michigan. The group's 1962 single for Chess Records, "I Love You", was a hit in the U.S., peaking at #22 that year on the Billboard Hot 100. The tune was an amalgam of doo wop and Latin beats, and was co-written by bass Ernest Newsom and the group's manager, Willie Ewing. The group recorded further singles for Chess and American Arts but never returned to the charts, remaining archetypical one-hit wonders. Later on in the 70's several of their more unknown singles became hits on the Northern Soul scene among others the upbeat "My Road Is The Right Road" on the label Inferno.
2) The Volumes is also a four piece indie band based in Liverpool, UK. The band consists of Tony Slater - Rythm Guitar & Lead Vocals, Mick Campbell - Bass Guitar & Lead Vocals, Stephen Miceli - Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals and Tony McPartland - Drums & Percussion, all around the ages of 15 & 16. Despite the fact that the band only started in April '07 they have already won the Streetwaves competition, based in Liverpool, winning them the opportunity to play at the Matthew Street Festival 2007, and a set a Creamfields.

The Volumes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you dance with me? I guess not
What you're doing that I never know
What the fuck are you wait for that?
Take another life a little bit different
We will turn it all again
And after all would you told me that you love me
All alone would you yet pretend?
My love for you was crowd
On the road you came for me and
They tell me how real I am
And I don't wanna waste more time
Without you, without they
I'll not be ignore and
Get it back from where you was
She did it all and watch it for
Now that's over
I got it right and got it all in my ass
I tell you rifted all again
Let it go this not your right
Wander me how fast you could be
I'll be up all night
Wake up in another room
You wake up next to me and no, no, no
I'm coming up tonight
But this hush wasn't build for two
And find that you ever rest to me and you tell me the true
We've tried a thousand time to make you feel right
We've try a thousand times to make you feel right
Would you dance with me? I guess not
What you're doing that I never know
What the fuck are you wait for that?
Take another life a little bit different
We will turn it all again
And after all would you told me that you love me
All alone would you yet pretend?
I pull my choice into like I had nothing to lose
Yeah I'm no confuse
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Would you tell me what to do?
I got nothing, I'm throw, I put my trust in you
I got nothing to lose
Tell me what to do I never want to tell you
Feel so wrong, sooner or later I'll tell you that I'm in love
Looking back when we had the first
When you tell me
How could you be so my lover
I'm so in love
How could you be
So 'without you without they
I could not ignore this
I can't hit back to where you are
Can't let go and now that's over
I got it all in my ass
I tell you
Let go, there's nothing left
Underneath the masquerade
Let go, there's nothing left
Underneath the masquerade
The Volumes' song "Up All Night" seems to be about a failed relationship, as the singer tries repeatedly to make their partner feel better and connect with them, to no avail. The chorus asks if the partner would dance with the singer, but they don't seem interested, and the relationship remains confusing and frustrating. The second verse suggests that the singer is staying up all night and looking for answers, but their partner is not there to help them. They feel lost and confused, but still desperately in love. The song ends with the singer letting go of the relationship, realizing that there is nothing left to salvage.
Overall, the lyrics of "Up All Night" capture the confusion and heartbreak of a troubled relationship, with its repetition of failed attempts to connect and its sense of uncertainty about the future. The chorus's question, "Would you dance with me? I guess not," encapsulates the sense of rejection and disappointment that the singer feels throughout the song.
Line by Line Meaning
We've try a thousand times to make you feel right
We have worked hard numerous times to make you happy and content
Would you dance with me? I guess not
I assume you do not want to dance with me
What you're doing that I never know
I do not understand what you are attempting to do
What the fuck are you wait for that?
Why are you waiting for no apparent reason?
Take another life a little bit different
Let us try to make things better by doing things a bit differently
We will turn it all again
We will try to fix things once more
And after all would you told me that you love me
In the end, would you admit that you love me?
All alone would you yet pretend?
Would you still pretend to be alone, even if you love me?
But you only brooked out
But you only rejected my love
My love for you was crowd
I had a lot of love for you
On the road you came for me and
You came to me while I was traveling
They tell me how real I am
Others tell me how genuine I am
And I don't wanna waste more time
I do not want to waste any more time
Without you, without they
Without you, without them
I'll not be ignore and
I will not be ignored
Get it back from where you was
Let us get things back to where they were
She did it all and watch it for
She did everything and watched for it
Now that's over
Now that is finished
I got it right and got it all in my ass
I succeeded and experienced all the pain associated with it
I tell you rifted all again
I will fix things once more
Let it go this not your right
It is not right for you to hold onto this; let it go
Wander me how fast you could be
I wonder how fast you could move on
I'll be up all night
I will be awake all night
Wake up in another room
Awake in a different room
You wake up next to me and no, no, no
You will wake up beside me and everything will be okay
I'm coming up tonight
I will come up tonight
But this hush wasn't build for two
The silence is not meant for two people
And find that you ever rest to me and you tell me the true
I hope you confess to me and tell me the truth
I pull my choice into like I had nothing to lose
I commit to my decision as if I have nothing to lose
Yeah I'm no confuse
Yes, I am not confused
Tell me what to do
Give me instructions on what I should do
Would you tell me what to do?
Can you please tell me what to do?
I got nothing, I'm throw, I put my trust in you
I have nothing left, I am at a loss, I trusted you
I got nothing to lose
I have nothing to lose
Tell me what to do I never want to tell you
Please instruct me as I do not want to disappoint you
Feel so wrong, sooner or later I'll tell you that I'm in love
I feel like this is not right, but sooner or later I will tell you that I am in love
Looking back when we had the first
Remembering back to when we first started
When you tell me
When you told me
How could you be so my lover
How could you be my lover
I'm so in love
I am deeply in love
So 'without you without they
So, without you, without them
I could not ignore this
I cannot ignore this
I can't hit back to where you are
I cannot return back to where you are
Can't let go and now that's over
I cannot let go, and now it is over
Let go, there's nothing left
Let it go; there is nothing left
Underneath the masquerade
Beneath the facade
