about

Don says:

My successful attempt to write the best insipid love ballad of all time. That’s Shadraq Meeshaq (ex-Shut-Ups guitarist) on lead vocals. He is one of three Shut-Ups to have played this part. I am none of the three Shut-Ups to have played this part. Because I cannot convey – or feel – emotion. So it’s nice I don’t have to sing my own songs if I don’t want to.

lyrics

We had to live
So far apart
Your aching heart
My lonely tears

Hungry for love
But mad at fate
We had to wait so many years

For so long I merely dreamed you
Never thought I could be yours
But since you were revealed to me
I don’t dream anymore

One step away
One step away
I believe our love
Is just a step away

But what if we stay
One step away
We’ll curse the day
We ever met

We’ve waited so long
To have this dance
And just one chance
Is all we get

And you’ll be mine forever
Have you heard these words before?
Well, let’s just take that one last step
And I won’t speak anymore

One step away
One step away
I believe our love
Is just a step away

about

The Shut-Ups Atlanta, Georgia

We're a five-piece new-wave power-pop band from Atlanta and Athens, GA and practice daily at 6AM. We do more before 8AM than most bands do all week.

We're not about Pleasure or Fun. You may enjoy listening to us. You may not. You may pretend to enjoy us because others you respect seem to. They may be pretending, too. In which case you may want to consider what else they're pretending about.
