(1) Founded in 2012, Volunteer are a 4-piece sludgy noise stoner rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band is made up from former members of Forstella Ford, Disguised as Birds, Traitors, Bound to One, Stock Options and Gasoline Fight. To date they have 3 releases; a 6-song self-titled EP in 2013, a 4-song EP titled "Goner" in 2014, and a split with Buildings, in 2016.

(2) Volunteer is the name of the solo project of Bournemouth-based artist Chris Mears. Mears has been linked with various projects, including Bluprint, Mellafone and latterly The Cinematic Underground. After taking several months to tour the US with The Cinematic Underground, Mears has recently (06/07) been working on a new Volunteer album.
(3) Secretive sonic pranksters Volunteer are Martin Andrevian, Emira Feensky, Marco Hackenov and Krzysztof Shadenkin. Allegedly formed in Odessa, Ukraine in 1972 with original vocalist Genaddi Romanov, they outraged the communist world when they performed a cacophonous Industrial rendition of 'The Red Flag'. Following Romanov's suicide in 1977 they went on to record a series of records for the Soviet state record label Melodiya, as well as on various labels in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, DDR, West Germany and Belgium. Their sound has been described variously as Suicide meets Throbbing Gristle at Shaun Ryder's house.
Splitting acrimoniously in 1991 over a pedantic argument concerning Green Tea (!), they recently resurfaced on the Projector Records compilation 'Know Your Monkey', and released a split single, featuring the poppy 'Safety in Numbers' and 'Street' with fellow sonic abusers Death Biscuit, MFU and Spanish Karavan.
Some vicious rumours are abound that they are really called Martin Andrews and Chris Shade; and that they're not really middle-aged noise veterans are easily discredited by various falsifications on their work-visas to play in the UK, and their young looks are explained by their strict vegan diets and drinking their own urine. Another intriguing fact is they were allegedly targets of KGB and CIA assassination squads.
The band, now expanded to a four piece with drummer Marc Hackworthy and bassist Emma Feeney, also appear on the 'Robopop the Return' compilation alongside Goldfrapp, Tiga, Robots in Disguise, Matinée Club and The Knife. They release a new EP in Feburary 2007 featuring 'Sweet Love', 'Final Hour' and 'Hero in Waiting'. More information can be found at www.myspace.com/infovolunteer .
The World Is Ours
Volunteer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've loved far and we've traveled wide
But the best is yet to come
We danced out late in the pouring rain
Never lost hope, never lost the flame
And the best is yet to come
We've got a sing and we should sing it out
There's a spark in you and a spark in me
So get up, get up, let's take the lead
You shine bright like a million stars
So light up, light up, the world is ours
The world is ours
We climbed mountains and we took the leap
Had our hearts broken and it cut so deep
But the best is yet to come
We've waited long enough by now
We've got a song, it's time to sing it loud
There's a spark in you and a spark in me
So get up, get up, let's take the lead
You shine bright like a million stars
So light up, light up, the world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
The first verse of the song reflects on the experiences and adventures the singer has had with someone they love. They have shared dreams, traveled extensively, and experienced the world together. Although they have already had incredible moments, the lyrics suggest that the best is yet to come. This can be understood as an expression of optimism and anticipation for what the future holds in their relationship.
The second verse speaks of resilience and perseverance. Despite facing challenges such as dancing in the pouring rain and maintaining hope even in difficult times, they have never lost their passion and enthusiasm. Again, the lyrics emphasize that the best is yet to come, implying that their journey is still ongoing and there are greater things to be achieved.
The pre-chorus suggests that they have waited long enough for something significant to happen. They have a song in their hearts, a message they want to express, and it's time to share it with the world. This can be interpreted as a call to action, urging them to seize the moment and make their voices heard.
The chorus is an empowering declaration of the potential within both the singer and the person they are addressing. It acknowledges the presence of a spark, a special quality that ignites their passion and motivates them to take the lead. The lyrics encourage them to rise up, shine brightly like a million stars, and illuminate the world. "The world is ours" can be seen as a declaration of confidence and a belief that they have the ability to make a positive impact and shape their own destinies. It's about embracing their individuality and recognizing their power to create change and influence the world around them. The repetition of this phrase reinforces their conviction and determination.

Nós compartilhamos sonhos sob céu aberto
Nós amamos muito e nós viajamos muito
Mas o melhor ainda está por vir
Nós dançamos tarde na chuva
Nunca perdi a esperança, nunca perdi a chama
E o melhor ainda está por vir
Nós esperamos o tempo suficiente até agora
Nós temos um canto e devemos cantar
Há uma faísca em você e uma faísca em mim
Então levante-se, levante-se, vamos assumir a liderança
Você brilha como um milhão de estrelas
Então acenda, acenda, o mundo é nosso
O mundo é nosso
Nós escalamos montanhas e demos o salto
Teve nossos corações partidos e cortou tão profundamente
Mas o melhor ainda está por vir
Nós esperamos o tempo suficiente até agora
Nós temos uma música, é hora de cantar alto
Há uma faísca em você e uma faísca em mim
Então levante-se, levante-se, vamos assumir a liderança
Você brilha como um milhão de estrelas
Então acenda, acenda, o mundo é nosso
O mundo é nosso
