1. - Wax was the union of veteran musicians Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, which produced several albums in the 1980s. Gold, the son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon (who had handled the singing for, among others, Natalie Wood in West Side Story), had been a member of Linda Ronstadt's band and found success as a solo artist and songwriter in the '70s. Gouldman had been a solo artist as well as a member of Hotlegs and 10cc.

In 1986, Wax released their debut, Magnetic Heaven, which spent nearly three months on the U.S. album charts, spawning the hit "Right Between the Eyes," which just failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at number 43. Two more albums by the duo followed, 1987's American English, which contained the successful European single "Bridge to Your Heart," and 1989's A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes. The latter two records failed to achieve sales of the debut and, by the beginning of the '90s, both Gold and Gouldman had moved on to other efforts; the former, in the singer/songwriter collaboration Bryndle; the latter, participating in a reunion with his 10cc mates.

2. - Wax is an American rapper/singer. He was one of the first "YouTube rappers", posting various songs and freestyles on the website since 2007. In 2008, he released Liquid Courage, his debut solo full-length album. He signed to Def Jam Records on March 2011, releasing his album "Scrublife" under the label, before parting ways with Def Jam in August 2012 due to creative differences. In early 2013, he released a new album "Continue"; in late 2015, he released "Livin' Foul", another studio album. His YouTube channel has over 99 million views (as of Oct. 30, 2018). He has frequently collaborated with other West Coast artists such as Dumbfoundead,Anderson .Paak, and Watsky. He has
also recorded music as part of the groups Wax and EOM, Clockwise and Wax and Herbal T, and was the lead singer of band Macgregor.

3. - Wax is a rock band based in San José, California. They are best known for the MTV "buzz clip" song, and the videoclip of their song "California," directed by Spike Jonze. The band contributed a cover of Ren & Stimpy's "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" for the compilation Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits and their song "Mallrats" was included in the soundtrack for the Kevin Smith film Mallrats. In the 1996 movie Bio-Dome, the band can be seen performing "He´s a Whore", "Do You Wanna Dance?", and "Your Intelligence". Loomis Fall went on to appear on Jackass the TV series and both Jackass films. The band reunited in July of 2009.

Wherever You Are
Wax Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever your shadow falls
On stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold
Whenever the dreams you dream
Come crashing down

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone

And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

And if you should lose your path along the way
And find yourself walking in the dark
Whenever the ones you love seem far away

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

(sail on home...)
Some are lost and some are lonely
Drifting away but they are only
Reaching out for love to hold onto
(sail on home...)
Mother father sister brother
Giving strength to one another
Guide them where the healing waters flow

Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone

And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are

Overall Meaning

Wax's song "Wherever You Are" is a comforting and uplifting track that reassures those who are struggling that they are not alone. The song's opening verse sets a poignant scene, depicting a moment when a person is feeling completely abandoned and lonely, with no one to rely on. The imagery of a shadow falling on stony ground emphasizes the bare, desolate nature of this moment, and the line "there's not a hand for you to hold" is particularly heartbreaking in its portrayal of someone who feels completely disconnected from the world around them. However, the chorus of the song provides a glimmer of hope, as Wax sings that "we'll be with you heart and soul, wherever you are." This chorus is repeated throughout the song, providing a reassuring, dependable refrain for anyone who is feeling lost or struggling to find their way.

The second verse builds on this theme of hope and reassurance, imagining a person who has lost their way and feels like they are "walking in the dark." The line "whenever the ones you love seem far away" is particularly relatable to anyone who has felt isolated or disconnected from their support system. The song's bridge section switches to a third-person perspective, describing those who are "lost and lonely" and "reaching out for love to hold onto." It's a powerful acknowledgment that anyone can find themselves in a dark place, and that we all need help and support from others to make it through. The final section of the song brings it all together, urging listeners to "remember that you're not alone" and promising that they will always have the support and love of their family and friends, even when times are tough.
