1. Montreal’s You and… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists known as You and Me:
1. Montreal’s You and Me openly share their world as seen by the two founding members - and lovers in life - Shawn Donnelly and Sandra J.. Sometimes joined by bassist Danny Roy or Edmund Lam on classical guitar, they deliver their most intimate material to date. Through acoustic instrumentation and rich vocal harmonies, the desired simplicity of the songs tug at the heartstrings in an innocent yet profound way. Most noted among their influences are The Beatles, Elliott Smith, and Belle and Sebastian.
In the summer of 2007, the band introduced their first full length album, The Romantic and the Realist (independent), an entirely self-produced album that was launched in Montreal and was available in stores across Canada, and in Tokyo, Japan (care of Duotone Records). Since the release, the band has headed out to play shows and festivals in Quebec and Ontario and remain a local presence in their hometown. With the support of local radio and CBC radio 3 the music continues to reach new audiences.
September 2008 earned the band 250$ in Archambault merchandise when their song Head Noise Pollution won second place in a Bluetracks Demo competition. It was also chosen as the first track on the second CD for Québec Émergent 2007 (SOPREF, September 2007.)
You and Me performed at the 2008 Windsor International Fringe Festival this past summer, and are thrilled to be repeating their fringe experience, but this time in Toronto Ontario for two weeks in July ‘09.
2. Áine O'Dwyer's 2017 album Beast Diaries was released under the alias You and Me. It is a collection of organ compositions and field recordings. They were performed and recorded in 2016, and compiled in 2017 for a pipe organ tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Again And Again
You and Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drowning in a memory of you
And now it's time for me to recover
Coming to the surface for a better view
Oh, yeah
In the good times, and the bad times
You need a high to feel alive
No love for the cynics, see your fifteen minutes
I've got no time for it
I'm back again
I'm back again
I'm back again
I'm back again
Feels better with the lights off, don't it?
Nobody can tell who we really are
It's funny when you think about it
Doctor shape us into who we really are, oh yeah
In the good times, and the bad times
You need a high to feel alive
And the headlines, they criticizing
No love for the cynics, see your fifteen minutes
I've got no time for it
I'm back again
I'm back again
I've had enough
I'm coming up
I'm back again
I'm back again
I'm back again
I'm back again
I've had enough
I'm coming up
I'm back again
I'm back again
(Sinking underwater)
I'm back again
(Trying to recover)
I've had enough
I'm coming up
I'm back again
I'm back again
The first verse of the song "Again And Again" by You and Me appears to be about staring into the abyss of a recent breakup. The singer describes feeling as though they are drowning in memories of their lost love, but now have the chance to recover and come up for air. The lyrics are full of watery imagery, with the singer sinking beneath the surface and coming back up again, and suggest a sense of being overwhelmed by emotion.
The second verse suggests that the singer is seeking ways to cope with those feelings. They acknowledge the need for highs in life, and seem to be uninterested in criticism from others, proclaiming "I've got no time for it." This could be interpreted as a response to judgment from others about how they are dealing with their breakup. Interestingly, the line "Doctor shape us into who we really are" suggests a potential implication about the ways in which societal pressures can affect our sense of identity.
Overall, "Again And Again" explores themes of loss, recovery, and the importance of authenticity in shaping our sense of self. The song seems to suggest that while we may experience periods of feeling lost or overwhelmed, we have the power to move past those moments and find our way back to ourselves.
