1) The Shadows (originally known as the Drifters) were an English instrumental rock group, who dominated the British popular music charts in the late 1950s and early 1960s, in the pre-Beatles era. They served as the backing band for Cliff Richard from 1958 to 1968, and have joined him for several reunion tours.

The Shadows have had 69 UK chart singles from the 1950s to the 2000s, 35 credited to the Shadows and 34 to Cliff Richard and the Shadows. The group, who were in the forefront of the UK beat-group boom, were the first backing band to emerge as stars. As pioneers of the four-member instrumental format, the band consisted of lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums. Their range covers pop, rock, surf rock and ballads with a jazz influence.

The core members from 1958 to present are guitarists Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch and drummer Brian Bennett (who has been with the group since 1961) with various bassists and occasionally keyboardists through the years. Along with the Fender and the Burns guitars, another cornerstone of the Shadows sound was the Vox amplifier. Around 1964, the Shadows replaced the Fender with the Burns, Bruce Welch citing tuning issues as the main reason.

The Shadows' number one hits include "Apache", "Kon-Tiki", "Wonderful Land", "Foot Tapper" and "Dance On!". Although these and most of their best-remembered hits were instrumentals, the group also recorded occasional vocal numbers, and hit the UK top ten with the group-sung "Don't Make My Baby Blue" in 1965. Four other vocal songs by the Shadows also made the UK charts. They disbanded in 1968, but reunited in the 1970s for further commercial success.

The Shadows are the fifth most successful act on the UK Singles Chart, behind Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Cliff Richard and Madonna. The Shadows and Cliff Richard & the Shadows each have had four No. 1 selling EPs.

The Shadows are difficult to categorize because of their stylistic range, which includes pop, rock, surf rock and ballads with a jazz influence. Most tunes are instrumental rock, with a few vocal numbers. Their rhythmic style is primarily on the beat, with little syncopation. They said in 1992 that "Apache" set the tone with its surf guitar sound.

The Shadows have been cited as a major influence on many guitarists, including Brian May, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Andy Summers, Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilmour, Tommy Emmanuel, Andy Powell and Tony Iommi. A tribute album, Twang! A Tribute to Hank Marvin & the Shadows (Capitol 33928), in October 1996 featured Blackmore, Iommi, Peter Green, Randy Bachman, Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, Peter Frampton and others playing Shadows hits. The early set of Queen (who played their first gig on 27 June 1970 with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and Brian May) included a cover of Cliff and the Shadows' "Please Don't Tease".

The Shadows influenced 1960s Yugoslav beat bands like Atomi, Bele Višnje, Bijele Strijele, Crni Biseri, Crveni Koralji, Daltoni, Delfini, Elektroni, Elipse, Iskre, Samonikli, Siluete and Zlatni Dečaci, all of whom were the pioneers of the Yugoslav rock scene. In the words of Crni Biseri member Vladimir Janković "Jet" (who got his nickname after Harris), "even the Beatles weren't as popular in Belgrade as the Shadows were". The second episode of Rockovnik, a Serbian 2011 documentary series about the Yugoslav rock scene, deals with the appearance of the Shadows and the influence they had on Yugoslav bands.

2) A band out of Georgia who recorded the album titled 'It Ain't Easy If It's Not Sleazy'.

Recorded at Kala studios, Atlanta, Georgia. Includes liner notes by Bryan Cole. Producers: The Shadows, Sam Whiteside, Bryan Cole. The Shadows: Joel Murphy (guitar, vocals); Albey Scholl (harmonica, saxophones, background vocals); Roger Gregory (Fender bass, acoustic bass); Tom Chavers (drums). Additional personnel: Luther "Houserocker" Johnson (guitar); Steve McRay (piano, Hammond B-3); Francine Reed (backing vocals).

As you'll hear on this effort, The Shadows have taken blues, rock, country, rock-a-billy, and a number of other musical "spices" and come up with their own boiling gumbo. In the tradition of groups like Little Feat, Los Lobos and The Band, they have developed a unique sound while still being respectful of their influences. It was my sincere pleasure to work with such a fine group. All of us involved hope you will dig what you hear - Turn It Up! (Bryan Cole)

3) Known best for their longtime residence at Blind Willie's, a popular blues club in Atlanta, the Shadows released several albums during the '90s before the untimely death of singer/guitarist Mike Lorenz. Shadows bassist Roger Gregory opened Blind Willie's in 1986 with Eric King. The club, which is located in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta, hosted many local blues artists such as Billy Wright, Grady "Fats" Jackson, Sandra Hall, and Chicago Bob.

In 1988, Chicago Bob, who was also a Blind Willie's resident, recorded an album called Just Your Fool that featured the Shadows as his backing band. A few years later, in 1992, the Shadows -- comprised of Gregory, Lorenz, harp/saxman Albey Scholl, and drummer Tom Chavers -- released an album of their own, Party Tuff or Stay Home!, that Ichiban released.

Several successive albums followed: It Ain't Easy Bein' Sleazy (1993), Steppin' to the Shadows (1994), Dreamtime (1994), Dark Side of the Shadows (1995), Pale Interpretators (1997), and One Night of Sin (2000). Unfortunately, Lorenz died an accidental death on July 3, 2001, when his car caught on fire behind his home after he'd fallen asleep with the car running. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

4) The Shadows is a heavy metal band from Chile signed with Sentient Ruin Laboratories.

After the pure magic and fire of the "Into the Nightmare" precursor demo tape, we're thrilled to bring you its full-scale successor and evolution: the unrivaled debut album by Chilean heavy metal cult Shadows. Packing in 30 minutes of legendary songwriting and visionary revivalism "Out for Blood" takes us back to a time, somewhere in the early 80's, when acts like Mercyful Fate, Satan, Death SS, Judas Priest, and Alice Cooper were laying the unforgettable foundations of what would soon become a generational, industry-changing phenomenon: the defining of heavy metal as we know it. A raging and undying fire of searing leads, thundering drums, spooky operatic vocals, ripping guitars, unforgettable hooks and outrageous transgression. With no hesitation or limits to its deathless imagination, Shadows has conceived a classic metal crucible of unparalleled wizardry and dominance, using familiar concepts borrowed from dark b-movies, old comic strips, occultism and esotericism to take the listener down a dark, left-hand path of cinematic storytelling, thrilling fantasy, dark impulses and transgressive paranoia.

The ten tracks of "Out for Blood" display a breadth of tricks and expertise rarely seen at such an accomplished level in contemporary NWOTHM and classic metal acts, and this should come as no surprise knowing that Shadows mastermind and main songwriter John Shades (a pseudonym of Cristian Silva of Apostasy fame), has been shaping the pillars of true and untamed underground South American heavy metal for at least three decades. Using a mist of dark, keyboard-laden atmospheres, vorticose melodies and a dominating, dual attack of criss-crossing, blazing razor-sharp solos, Shades and his co-conspirators have unfolded a half-hour of absolute, boundless imagination, covering almost fifty years of heavy metal evolution and transformation, and delving deep into the primordial fabric of the genre's most defining traits, those of technical extremism, frantic intensity, and adrenaline-pumping darkness. A full-frontal assault on the senses where the limitless imagination of epic storytelling and of rare musicianship have converged in creating the ultimate homage, heirloom and celebration to the undying, sacred and eternal flame of heavy metal.

5) S H A D O W S is a punk rock band from Japan formed in 2009.

the shadows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

हम तो डूबे हैं उनकी तस्वीरों में
मिले सकून नहीं उनके बिन नींदों में
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
अब उसका पता नहीं दिल में जो रहता था
उसकी बातों के अफ़साने लिखने बैठा
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
हा मैंने करी ये ख़ता, लिया मेरा side
ग़लती छुपा के सारे black को किया white
मेरे बिना she's dying, फैलाऊँ मैं अफ़वाहें
काफ़ी सारा कहना, पर पता नहीं तू कहाँ है
जैसे miss मैं करूँ, baby, you miss me क्या
मेरे birthday में, बेटा, तूने wish नहीं किया
"Dino strong है", बता, ये तुझे किसने कहा
ख़ैर अब तो झेलना पड़ेगा तेरे हिस्से का
क्या पुराने अपने chats को तू करती होगी read
क्या तू type करके messages करती होगी delete
क्या तू भी पूछना चाहती है कि कैसा है तू D
क्या तू भी try कर रही है? Are you trying to reach
तेरे ख़्याल में नहीं हूँ, पर तू ख़्याल रखना
D साथ में नहीं, थोड़ा मलाल रखना
जो भी था मेरे पास वो हुआ exhaust
वापिस प्यार करने की करूँ मजाल अब ना
हम तो डूबे हैं उनकी तस्वीरों में
मिले सकून नहीं उनके बिन नींदों में
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
रहु मै जैसे

ख़याल तेरा दिल से मिटाया नहीं अभी
तू गई फ़िर दिल ये लगाना नहीं कभी
बेवफ़ा मैंने तुझको बुलाया नहीं अभी
प्यार किया बस तुझे गिनवाया नहीं कभी
बस गिनी बरसातें और तेरे दिए ग़म
दिल माने ना ये बात कि अब साथ नहीं हम
भोले बाबा, थोड़ा करो इन कष्टों को कम
मेरे साथ काली रात और एक पूरी बोतल rum
पूरी रात नहीं sober, दारू बड़ी पी है
ये जो मोहब्बत, ख़यालों में ही जी है
हम तो मरे जा रहे हैं मिलने को
क्या तूने भी मिलने की कोशिश कभी की है
मेरी याद में तू रोई, रोटी खाई तूने नहीं है
दोस्तों को बोला मेरे बारे बुरा नहीं है
छोड़ के तू गई पर बंदा खड़ी वहीं है
ग़लत बस हम, वो तो लड़की है तो सही है
हम तो डूबे हैं उनकी तस्वीरों में
मिले सकून नहीं उनके बिन नींदों में
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
Yeah, जो दिखे ना, वो दर्द नहीं क्या
महौल ये सर्द नहीं क्या
आँसू ना देखे, आँखें हैं किसकी
रोता है, वो मर्द नहीं क्या
ये बता मुझे कि कौन नहीं रोता
मैं हमारे कमरे में नहीं सोता
लाइटें बंद, TV on नहीं होता
मैं हूँ old school, मुझसे move on नहीं होता
जाने वो कहाँ गई
पहले भी लड़े हैं, ये पहली दफ़ा नहीं
पर कभी ऐसी हुई वो ख़फ़ा नहीं
ग़लती है मेरी, वो बेवफ़ा नहीं
मैंने ऐसा क्यूँ किया
पिछले महीने cancel हर show किया
कल flight में यूँ ही बैठे-बैठे रो दिया
तेरे जाने पे पता चला, मैंने क्या खो दिया
हम तो डूबे हैं उनकी तस्वीरों में
मिले सकून नहीं उनके बिन नींदों में
क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो




क्या याद मुझे भी करती होगी वो
रहु मै जैसे

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Shadows' "The Shadows" speak of a love that has come to an end. The singer has left, but their former partner did not stop them. The pain that the singer feels is so strong that it cannot be cured by any medicine, and despite trying to fight their fate, nothing happened. The chorus accepts that the relationship has ended and the singer is no longer theirs. The next verse speaks of how the singer used to come to their partner when they were upset and bow their head when they were angry. The singer wonders what they will do now without their partner and how they will find happiness. The final lines of the song accept that the relationship is over and that the singer is no longer with their former partner.


The song is a sad reflection on the end of a relationship, which is a common theme in music. The lyrics are simple but convey the emotion of heartbreak well. The Shadows' instrumental sound adds to the melancholic tone of the song. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the acceptance of the situation and the finality of the break-up.


Line by Line Meaning

चला गया मैं दूर तूने भी रोका नही
I went away, and you did not try to stop me.


दिल को दर्द ऐसा मिला जिसकी दवा नही
I got a pain so strong that there is no cure for it.


लड़ पड़ा लकीरों से पर कुछ भी हुआ नही
I tried to fight destiny, but nothing changed.


चलो यह मान भी लिया अब तू मेरा नही
Let's accept the fact that you are no longer mine.


तू मेरा नही
You are not mine anymore.


हम्म्म हम्म्म आ आ आ आ आ

दूर जाने पे तेरे पास आता था मैं
When I went away, I used to come to you.


रूठ जाने पे तेरे सर झुकता था मैं
When I was upset, I used to bow my head to you.


बिन तेरे ज़िंदगी का मैं क्या करूँ
What will I do without you in my life?


किस तरह मान लून, तू मेरा मैं तेरा नही
How do I accept that you are not mine and I am not yours?


मैं वहीं पे था मगर तूने ही देखा नही
I was right there, but you did not see me.


तेरी खुशी को देख कर मैने कुछ कहा नही
I did not say anything when I saw your happiness.


क्यूँ मेरा नही, चला गया मैं दूर तूने भी रोका नही
Why am I no longer yours and you did not stop me when I left?


औ औ औ औ आ आ आ आ आ आ आ
Humming sounds.

bil haley started the change in music in the 1940's. His 1st record came out in 1943 and is considered the 1st rock'n'roll record ever made.


It was a mix of the big band sound and country music that became known in the 50's as rock'n'roll.
Rockabilly started in the mid 50's and is often mistaken for rock'n'roll as its simular but based on country and blues mixed together which is what Elvis actualy recorded. All of Elvis early stuff was rockabilly not rock'n'roll.


The shads started out as the drifters in the mid 1950's and were a vocal group not instramental. They became the backing group to cliff richard. His 1st record has cliff and the drifters on the lable but as a US group was called the drifters they had to change their name to the shadows a name they came up with outside a pub when they were trying to think up a new name. They were sat in the shadow of a tree which is where they got the name from.


They were already a big name before they became know as the shadows in the UK doing live concerts but not making records. They became more famous as the backing group for cliff richard and thats when they got a record contract for themselves.


On some of their albums they have got recordings of them singing as well as playing. mary anne, and dont make my baby blue, being 2 of them.
