Til Valentine’s Day

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

This week at Glyn Wilton’s Mixed Music Bag,
he’s asking us to write about a song in which
the title or a line mentions the current month. 
Here’s my featured February artists and their song.

The rock band Beach Bunny formed in 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. Initially a solo project (bedroom band*) by guitarist and vocalist Lili Trifilio, Beach Bunny became a full band in 2017. The group achieved widespread popularity after their 2018 video “Prom Queen” went viral in late 2019. 

“February” is the first song on Beach Bunny’s third EP, Crybaby. This 2017 song is about the love for a boy that lasts longer than the relationship. With talk of construction paper hearts, it is clear that this couple didn’t last til Valentine’s Day, but singer and lyricist Trifilio was still thinking about this guy and daydreaming about what could have been.

This is “February” by Beach Bunny

LYRICS

Strawberry ice cream, I saw this day
You melt away through the cracks in my fingers
I know that sunburn goes away
The broken words I last heard still linger

Maybe by Monday I’ll be okay
Any day’s better than February
Sometimes I wonder how life would be
Any day’s better than February

But if you called and you asked me to stay
Would you give me the world or walk out in a day?
Because I’m so afraid that if I let you in
When the going gets rough will you leave me again? Like February

Summer’s gone, seasons change
He’s got a heart of construction paper
All of his problems buried away
Inside the sleeve of a green windbreaker

Maybe by Monday I’ll be okay
Any day’s better than February
Sometimes I wonder how life would be
Any day’s better than February

But if you called and you asked me to stay
Would you give me the world or walk out in a day?
Because I’m so afraid that if I let you in
When the going gets rough will you leave me again? Like February

Any day’s better than the day you left me
Try to forget you but he never lets me
Any day’s better than the day you left me
Try to forget you but he never lets me

Maybe by Monday I’ll be okay
Any day’s better than, any day’s better than
Sometimes I wonder how life would be
If you had stayed for February

  8. Nice! And yes, new to me, too. Wondering if she’d had the entire(short) month instead of a single day, would she have had time to learn he was not meant to be more than that? Would she be over him & really discovering the him she’s currently hanging with?

  12. Good tune. Now, that’s a name for a band. Going back to the 60s, when I was a surfer dude, we called the girls on towels lathered up with Criso oil, Beach bunnies. They didn’t surf, but had a great crispy tan. My wife, Momo was one for a while, but then she tried surfing and became a Gidget. You find some strange music and bands, nice work.

    1. Hey, this blogging stuff is a demanding gig! I can’t let my peeps down and sometimes I get lucky!
      I well remember the days of dousing myself with iodine-infused baby oil, then lying in the sun for hours…..with a giant reflector. The things we did back then and lived to talk about. And kids today think we’re just old farts! Little bastards!

      Thanks a lot, Phil. I appreciate your comments.
