Big Troubles were formed by Alex Craig and Ian Drennan, two friends from Ridgewood, New Jersey who attended high school together. The two shared enthusiasm for the likes of Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, the Cleaners from Venus, and Let's Active, and when they both went off to college -- Craig attending New York University and Drennan enrolling at Tufts University in Massachusetts -- they stayed in touch and began writing songs together. In 2009, Craig and Drennan started recording as Big Troubles. Their debut, 2010's Worry, was very much a homemade affair, recorded with four-track cassette decks, a primitive drum machine handling the percussion and Craig and Drennan overdubbing overdriven electric guitars and outdated analog synths into the sound of a full band. On their second album, 2011's Romantic Comedy (recorded with jangle pop hero Mitch Easter), Big Troubles de-emphasized the lo-fi side of their sound and honed in on their pop influences.

Never Mine
Big Troubles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh my God, is it morning?
Is there something I've been ignoring?
Oh my God, is it too late?
Is there something I need to say?

I know
I know
And it never was found

And it never came around

It felt just fine, but it never was mine
And I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind
It felt just fine, but it never was mine
But I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind

Oh my God, tell me how
Am I talking to myself now?
Oh and I know it won't be cute
In the case that I do need to puke

I know
I know
And it never was found
And it never came around

It felt just fine, but it never was mine
And I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind
It felt just fine, but it never was mine
But I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind

It felt just fine, but it never was mine
And I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind

It felt just fine, but it never was mine
But I'll just wait 'til I lose my mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Mine" by Big Troubles explores the feelings of uncertainty and regret after a relationship has ended. The lyrics suggest that the singer is questioning whether they missed something important during the relationship, wondering if there was something they should have said or done differently. The repetition of the phrase "Oh my God" creates a sense of desperation and urgency, emphasizing the importance of the message the singer is trying to convey.

The chorus repeats the line "It felt just fine, but it never was mine," suggesting that the singer had the illusion of a good relationship, but it was never truly theirs. This feeling of something just out of reach is further emphasized by the lyrics "And it never was found, and it never came around." The repetition of "I know" in both verses also conveys the sense that the singer has come to a realization of some sort, but it is too late to act on it.

Overall, "Never Mine" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the difficulty of grappling with regret and uncertain feelings. The desperate urgency of the lyrics combined with the dreamy, almost hypnotic melody creates a haunting and melancholic mood.

Amazing band went to see them with Real Estate, have to say they stole the show for me and I left after 5 songs during Real Estate. They reminded me of the English shoegazer movement of the 90s
