The bands debut album released in 1992 and produced by Beau Hill, received amazing respons from the world's leading hardrock press, media and magazines, and is by many rated as one of the finest hardrock releases released in the 90's.
'Waiting For The Sun' the title for the bands latest studio album is proof that the band still is in the very forefront of the melodic rock scene today.
The band is today a three piece with Bruce Gowdy, Kelly Hansen and Jay Schellan. But the other UNRULY's is guesting on the new album and is still part of the UNRULY CHILD collective.
UNRULY CHILD is back and this time do they plan to stick around and defenetive with more albums to follow.
In 2010 Bruce Gowdy contacted Marcie Free to ask if she would be interested in reforming Unruly Child to record a new album for Frontiers Records out of Italy. She agreed and together again with all the original members, Bruce Gowdy (guitars), Guy Allsion (keyboards), Jay Schellen (drums), and Larry Antonino (bass guitar), they wrote and recorded "Worlds Collide" their brand new album for relase in October 2010.
Is It Over
Unruly Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night with that look in your eyes
How long have we been waiting with nothing left to say
We come together, but we're always alone
We tell the same sad story anyway
I've been around you for a long, long time
Is it over
So I can learn to love again
I'll believe it when I hear you say
That it's over
(Is it over)
Then I can learn to fly again
Do you need to say goodbye to me
Yeah
There's no reason we should tell any lies
'Cause the truth reveals anything we try to hide
So if you open up your heart to me
I will take your hand in mine
We've been together for a long, long time
You can let me in, you gotta let me know
Is it over
So I can learn to love again
Let me know, let me live my life
Is it over
Then I can learn to fly again
Do you need to say goodbye to me
Given any time even the sun will grow cold
When the fire dies inside
But I wanna know if the flame still burns
For you and me
We've known each other for a long, long time
You can let me know
Is it over
So I can learn to love again
I'll believe it when I hear you say
That it's over
(Is it over)
Then I can learn to fly again
Do you need to say goodbye, oh...
Do you need to say goodbye to me, yeah
The lyrics to "Is It Over" by Unruly Child appear to be about a relationship that has hit a rough patch. The opening lines describe a night spent in each other's company, but with "nothing left to say," suggesting that their relationship has reached a standstill. However, they "come together" despite feeling "always alone," indicating that they still want to make it work.
The chorus poses the question of whether the relationship is truly over, asking for confirmation so that the singer can "learn to love again" or "fly again." These lyrics indicate that the singer is willing to move on if necessary, but needs to be sure that the relationship is truly over. The bridge adds a sense of urgency, noting that even the sun will eventually grow cold, but the singer needs to know whether the "flame still burns" for them.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of asking for honesty and clarity in a relationship that has grown stagnant. It acknowledges that relationships go through changes, and it can be difficult to know when it's time to let go. However, by asking the straightforward question of "is it over?" the singer is hoping to move forward with their life, whether that means starting anew or finding a way to reignite their relationship.
