With Danny (Bass) and Shannon (Keys) growing up on the north coast with a lifestyle of surfing and skating, the boys found a passion for jazz and funk music passed on by their musical Dad and after hearing their cousin Laura sing for the first time on a family holiday it created a dream they had to pursue of one day moving to Sydney and starting a band together. Laura would find tapes of song ideas in the letter box at her northern beaches home in Sydney and would add melody and lyrics, waiting until the next time the families got together to create the final products.
After years of long distance writing together the boys joined Laura in Sydney where the band recorded an EP 'Originate'. The EP propelled the band around the Sydney scene and led to an appearance on national television as part of the Logie award winning series 'All Saints' where the band performed two songs off the EP 'Why' and the track that opened the show, 'Dreamland'.
It's been a long wait but after more shows and heap of touring the band have just released their self titled debut album through Vitamin Records which was launched in June 2010 to a sell out crowd at one of Sydney's most prestigious live music venues, The Basement. The album involves some of the most recognised musicians in the industry and so do their live shows with the band playing regularly as a six piece all over Australia. Within months of its release, tracks off the album have been receiving airplay on Triple J and various community radio stations across Australia.
Give Me Love
Uncle Jed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Pain splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, give me love
Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love.
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

(give me love, love me),

Line by Line Meaning
Give me love like her
I want your love to be like hers
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
I've been lonely lately
Pain splattered teardrops on my shirt
I have been crying a lot and my shirt is stained with tears
Told you I'd let them go
I promised I'd stop crying but I haven't been able to
And that I'll fight my corner
I will stand up for myself and protect my own interest
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
Maybe tonight I'll call you
After my blood turns into alcohol
After I drink a lot of alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya
I just want to hold you
Give a little time to me or burn this out
Give me some time or let the relationship end
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
We'll try to fix this relationship together
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
All I want is to kiss you
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
I really want your love
Give me love like never before
I want your love more than ever now
'Cause lately I've been craving more
I've been wanting more from you
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
It's been a while since the last time we were together but my feelings haven't changed
Maybe I should let you go
Maybe I should end this relationship
You know I'll fight my corner
You know I'll stand up for myself and protect my own interest
And that tonight I'll call ya
And I'll call you tonight
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
After I drink too much alcohol
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
Please love me

I've viewed all of Uncle Jed's YouTube vidoes that I can find. Their performances are spectacular!
While I'm stunned by how silky smooth her voice is, it's her passion and vocal control that are literally mind blowing!
The chemistry the band has together is surreal, and I can't emphasize enough how spectacular they are as a group! I know, as the lead vocalist, she tends to draw the attention, but it can't be ignored how talented her cousins are, and how their collaboration is, in and of itself, magical!
I am a sincere fan of your works, both cover songs and originals. Please continue to pursue your dreams, as I look forward, with great anticipation, to listening to all you have to offer!
As a side note, I always loved your original name, "Uncle Jed", but understand your need to continue your career under a different banner.
Either way, no matter your name, your art is amazing!
