In 2008 longtime grade school friends Andrew Hansen and Aaron Ruiz decided that they wanted to escape the financial time constraints of a recording studio to hone in their own “sound” and studio skills. With a few cheap microphones and an old PC,they self produced their album Pictures and Words in the basement of Andrew’s parents home in Connecticut. Despite its small budget sound, the album was a success and caught the ears of several television music supervisors landing dozens of placements on CBS, E, Oxygen, and MTV. The majority of the album showing up on shows like “Guiding Light” and “The Real World”.
In 2010 the duo had their music passed onto Grammy nominated producer Brent Milligan. (Ten Shekel Shirt, David Crowder Band, The Elms) Showing interest in developing their sound, Milligan invited them down to his Nashville studio to record their next album To Be Brave. The month long session was a recording boot camp for Aaron and Andrew.
“From recording guitars to learning about eq and a deeper comprehension of pro tools, the To Be Brave sessions taught us a lot about ourselves both as writers and growing producers...Brent was like a mad scientist in a lab and we were just trying to keep up with him.”
The finished product was met with great success. The album landed even more television licenses from networks like Bravo, MTV, and Showtime. Prominent placements during the Kim Kardashian wedding and “The Real World” overwhelmed their website and spiked album sales. They also had a hit single “I Found You” which has become their most downloaded song and a favorite among wedding videographers across the country. Their song “Heart” was also covered by former American Idol contestant Shuan Cannon in a youtube video currently sitting at 40K plays.
In the summer of 2012 the duo hit their home studio in Connecticut and began roughing out demos for their next project. Hoping to take another stab at the production end of making an album but still wanting another voice in the process, the guys were introduced to Chris Grainger (Wilco, Switchfoot, Kopecky Family Band, Five Knives) another talented producer from Nashville. Chris was more than happy to fill in where the pair felt they needed a third voice. Working both at their home studio in CT and with Chris in Nashville, Aaron and Andrew spent three months recording their latest release, Chase.
The six song EP will be released over a six month’ with one song being released monthly as a free download off the band’s Facebook page starting in February 2013.
All Over Again
Aaron and Andrew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's all right, the way you look at me
And every time we share a smile
No cares for a while, lost in reverie
And with the passing of a brand-new day
It's like the first time that I felt that way
Whenever I see you, I can't even count to ten
Every time I make you laugh
You don't know the half of how happy that makes me
And every time that I hold you close
I want you to know that's where I want to be
And with the passing of a brand-new day (Of a brand-new day)
It's like the first time that I felt that way (Felt that way)
Whenever I see you, I can't even count to ten
Before I fall in love all over again
(One! Two! Three! Four!)
Ain't even fair to compare you to a summer's day
It's a runaway competition, you got to admit
That no stanza of iambic pentameter could stand any chance
You in the driver's seat, packin' the five best feet
Excuse the poetry joke
I'm just bein' open and honest, and I know what I spoke
No Shakespearean sonnet could ever chronicle the polyphonic miracle
Of sittin' next to you, so I'ma try with the lyrical
If I am Orpheus, you're my Eurydice
Givin' me every melody, tellin' me
Nobody else can be pluckin' your heartstrings like a lyre
And I know you tell the truth
Do you know I would go through Hell for you?
From the Hadean depths ascending,
But I hope our classical story has a happier ending
Woo! Every light in my life you outshine
I keep fallin' and fallin' for you but still I'm on cloud nine (All over again)
Here's the best part, I sincerely hope you're listenin'
You make me see as clearly as if the world were crystalline
(Then I fall in love)
And with the passing of a brand-new day
It's like the first time that I felt that way
Whenever I see you, I can't even count to ten
Before I fall in love all over again
The lyrics of Aaron and Andrew's song "All Over Again" capture the feeling of falling in love repeatedly with the same person. The song opens with the singer seeing their partner's eyes and feeling reassured that everything is okay. They note that every time they share a smile, they feel like they're lost in reverie. The passing of every day feels like the first time they experienced this love, and they can't help but count to ten before falling in love all over again.
The song's chorus repeats this idea of falling in love repeatedly, highlighting the joy of making their partner laugh and feeling happy when they hold them close. The singer can't help but compare their love to a runaway competition and notes that even Shakespearean sonnets couldn't chronicle the miracle of sitting next to their partner. If the singer is Orpheus, then their partner is Eurydice, the one who gives them every melody and plucks their heartstrings like a lyre.
In short, "All Over Again" talks about how love can feel brand new every day, but it can also be a kind of repetition. The singer is aware of this, but they don't care because they're overwhelmed by their love for their partner. This song is a beautiful ode to the power of long-term relationships and falling in love repeatedly over time.
Line by Line Meaning
Every time I see your eyes
I feel comfort and contentment knowing that you are looking at me
I know it's all right, the way you look at me
I feel reassured by the way you look at me
And every time we share a smile
Our happiness is amplified when we share a smile
No cares for a while, lost in reverie
In those moments, our worries disappear and we get lost in the moment
And with the passing of a brand-new day
Even after spending time apart, my feelings for you remain strong
It's like the first time that I felt that way
My love for you remains fresh and new
Whenever I see you, I can't even count to ten
My love for you is so intense that I lose count of time when I am with you
Before I fall in love all over again
My love for you is so strong that I fall in love with you every time I see you
Every time I make you laugh
Making you happy brings me an immense amount of joy
You don't know the half of how happy that makes me
You bring me so much happiness that I cannot even express it all
And every time that I hold you close
I feel content and fulfilled when I am holding you
I want you to know that's where I want to be
Being close to you is where I feel most at home
Ain't even fair to compare you to a summer's day
You are so much more than anything that can be compared to a summer day
It's a runaway competition, you got to admit
There is no competition, you surpass everything else
That no stanza of iambic pentameter could stand any chance
Even the most well-crafted poetry cannot compare to being with you
You in the driver's seat, packin' the five best feet
You are the one leading the way and have all the best qualities
Excuse the poetry joke
Please forgive my cheesy poetic reference
I'm just bein' open and honest, and I know what I spoke
I am being truthful and I stand by what I said
No Shakespearean sonnet could ever chronicle the polyphonic miracle
Even the greatest love poets could not capture the beauty of our relationship
Of sittin' next to you, so I'ma try with the lyrical
I will attempt to capture our love through my own words and expression
If I am Orpheus, you're my Eurydice
If I am a mythological musician, you are the one person who completes me
Givin' me every melody, tellin' me
You fill my life with music and joy, and you constantly communicate with me
Nobody else can be pluckin' your heartstrings like a lyre
I am the only one who can truly make your heart sing
And I know you tell the truth
I trust that what you say is always honest and true
Do you know I would go through Hell for you?
I would do anything for you, no matter the cost
From the Hadean depths ascending,
I would even go to the depths of hell and come back for you
But I hope our classical story has a happier ending
I hope our love story ends in happiness, unlike the tragic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice
Woo! Every light in my life you outshine
You bring so much light and joy into my life that everything else pales in comparison
I keep fallin' and fallin' for you but still I'm on cloud nine (All over again)
My love for you only grows stronger with time and every moment with you feels like a dream come true
Here's the best part, I sincerely hope you're listenin'
The most important thing is that I hope you hear how much I love and cherish you
You make me see as clearly as if the world were crystalline
You bring clarity and meaning to my life and help me see the world in a better light
