I'm sure you'll have seen me talk about this band before, they're well known in the UK, but not so much anywhere else, which in my opinion is a good thing. It is of course "Lawson".


The song by them I picked is called "Standing In The Dark", and the lyrics are as follows

Sitting here wide awake

Thinking about when I last saw you

I know you're not far away

Close my eyes and I still see you

Lying here next to me

Wearing nothing but a smile

I gotta leave right away

Counting cracks along the pavement

To see you face to face

Thinking about the conversation

I know I'm not one to chase

I've never wanted nothing more

But as I walk into your door

I'm standing in the dark

She's dancing on the table

I'm looking through the glass

She's someone else's angel

It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back

But I'm wanting you back girl

And now I'm standing in the dark

Dark, oh

Dark, dark

All I wanna do is hide

But I can't stop myself from staring

Wishing these hands were mine

But I can't stop myself from caring

And as he turns down the lights

I'm feeling paralyzed

And as he looks into her eyes

(Yeah, alright)

I'm standing in the dark

She's dancing on the table

I'm looking through the glass

She's someone else's angel

It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back

But I'm wanting you back girl

And now I'm standing in the dark

Dark, oh

Dark, dark, oh

Dark, dark, oh

Dark, dark

Oh, ooh

I'm standing in the dark

I'm standing in the dark

I'm standing in the dark

She's dancing on the table

I'm looking through the glass

She's someone else's angel

It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back

But I'm wanting you back girl

And now I'm standing in the dark

Dark, oh

Dark, dark, oh

Dark, dark

She's someone else's angel

She's someone else's angel

The song is about losing the one you love. The lead singer (Andy Brown) was in a relationship, and she broke it off with him. It was obviously very serious, and he was distraught when she left him. When she goes to see her, he finds out that she's already moved on, "She's someone else's angel" and he's heartbroken, as he's never stopped loving her, but it's too late. He is left "standing in the dark" all on his own.

The song itself has a sad meaning, but the actual song is beautiful and it makes me feel sad and happy, all at the same time when I listen to it.

If you are interested, you can buy the song here if you're from the UK.

Short post today, but I don't feel it needed to be any longer. Thanks for reading!
