about
“If I’ve gotta walk, that’s just what I’ll do/ I’m getting there slowly, but I’m going with you,” Solange Igoa sings on the latest single from Portland, Oregon’s Glitterfox. Where Bruce Springsteen would ride a Cadillac through the night with his love, Igoa and their bandmate/spouse Andrea Walker instead huddle together in the dark to fend off the car thieves, content to walk if it means they’re together. “The song came to me in the middle of the night, not long after hearing these people outside our bedroom window trying to break into our neighbor’s car,” Walker explains. While the resulting track traces the outline of that experience lyrically, the Boss-esque narrative thunders forward on the realization that no matter what may happen, the love they feel supercedes any threat or pain. “It’s always over before it begins/ If I had it all, I would do it again,” Igoa sings, drummer Blaine Heinonen pounding out a triumphant beat. “The song is a reminder that no matter what happens to Solange, to me, to us, that I wouldn’t change a thing,” Walker adds. “My heart may one day be utterly destroyed, but it will always have been worth it.” - Lior Phillips
lyrics
I can’t sleep at night anymore
there’s a fire in my head and wolves at the door
But I like the feeling of the midnight sun
If i sleep all day i don’t hurt anyone
Its always over
Before it begins
If i had it all I would do it again
If i had it all I would do it again
The city is ours and she knows your name
But even if she didn’t i’d love you the same
‘Cause i get the fire that no one else knows
I wake up in the morning and the bed frame glows
Its always over
Before it begins
If i had it all I would do it again
If i had it all I would do it again
And the days wash away in the rain
Just like counting the streaks on a pane
I can’t sleep at night anymore
Someone’s stealing a car right outside the door
If I’ve gotta walk that’s just what I’ll do
I’m getting there slowly but I’m going with you
I’m getting there slowly but I’m going with you
Its always over
Before it begins
If i had it all i would do it again
If i had it all i would do it again
I want it all just to do it again
I want it all just to love you again

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
