| Thea Gilmore – Dance In New York Lyrics | 13 years ago |

no argument here... I just discovered it myself and was stunned by the quality and consistency. This song as well as Roll On are stand out tracks for me. Incredibly moving and both quite dark but in different ways. As far as meaning goes i have a feeling this one is about being involved in the music scene and all the pretentiousness within it, especially at the lower end of the scale. She is one of the rare artists who can write in riddles but still make it sound as though she always had something very specific in mind, even if it's not obvious. And that voice too... what a gift. |

Firstly its disappointing there is no one discussing this song! It's one of the best pieces of lyrics i've heard in a long time - such a shame Thea Gilmore is not more widely known... I have a feeling the song is about wasting yourself on drugs but really its just a hunch. At this rate i will have to write to her management and ask! One more thing i love about this is the way each verse seems to be laid out by a different lead instrument. It goes from guitar to accordion to piano and even just toms. For such a long song they really manage to keep it going with interest despite there only being 2 musical sections... genius. |
