No Gloom is a song about the pain of unrequited love. I wrote this song after a very intense summer with someone who didn’t love me. I was so desperate to show them how I felt about them that I pushed them away instead. But still in my mind, the time spent with them was full of so much brightness. There’s an original demo of this from 2016 on our bandcamp, just me sitting in my room hunched over a computer trying to figure out how to record music alone in a room that was way too hot. It was so nice to bring the song to the rest of the band and see it bloom. - Faye Rogers
lyrics
Will you always be so blunt with me?
I thought I could be distant but I can’t, not with you.
It’s so hard to pretend I don’t want to see you everyday ‘Cause I wanna see you everyday, everyday, everyday.
Maybe one day we’ll go on a date.
But for now, I think I can wait.
‘Cause in your room there is no gloom. You kiss me and I swoon.
I want you to hold me and tell me the things you really feel. Like if you wanna get ice cream, or that you don’t feel real. I don’t think that day will come.
I wanna kiss you, tell you I miss you but I can’t.
I think I like you too much and it hurts.
I think I like you too much and it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
