Glow
Coleman Hell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you got me
Around your finger
Like a string tied
To remember
I love you, love you, love you more than anybody
I love you, love you, love you more than anybody
So what do we do when the feelings gone
What do we do when we don't belong?
Love you, love you, love you more than anybody
So let's just glow

Oooooh Oooooh
Oh Oh Oh Ooooh Oooh-ooh (x3)

Like a million stars shining on the boulevard...

You glow
Baby you're the sunlight
You glow
Even when there's no light
You glow
Baby girl you're so bright
You glow
(You glow! glow! )

You're a shining
Supernova
In the sky
Let's shine til the fuses blow up
All the light-bulbs in the nightclubs
(Clap clap) lights on (clap clap) lights off
Baby there ain't no one like us
Turning me on like a light-switch, click click
Tonight let's celebrate the light you emanate
And get so high that we might just levitate
Hey! ain't trying to be too cliche
But you shine like a u.v. ray, got my shades on
You the rainbow and the pot of gold
We can dance like dust particles
In front of a high school projector
Girl your sex is electric, let's just glow

Oooooh Oooooh
Oh Oh Oh Ooooh-Oooh (x3)

Like a million stars shining on the boulevard...

You glow
Baby you're the sunlight
You glow
Even when there's no light
You glow
Baby girl you're so bright




You glow
(You glow! glow! )

Overall Meaning

Coleman Hell's song Glow is an uplifting and joyful ode to a special someone who makes the singer light up with happiness. The lyrics talk about how the person has the singer wrapped around their finger and makes them feel loved like nobody else can. The repeated phrase "love you, love you, love you more than anybody" emphasizes the depth of the connection between the two. Despite the uncertainty that can come in relationships, with lines like "what do we do when the feelings gone, what do we do when we don't belong?", the chorus encourages the listener to celebrate the light that this person emanates and to just glow. The use of metaphors, like comparing the person to a supernova and a UV ray, highlights the intensity and brightness of their presence in the singer's life. The closing reference to "dancing like dust particles in front of a high school projector" reinforces the carefree and buoyant mood of the song.


One interesting fact about Glow is that it served as the theme song for the 2018 Winterfest in Ontario, Canada. It also appeared in the TV series The Resident and as the background music for a McDonald's commercial. Coleman Hell has stated that the inspiration for the song came from a feeling of contentment with where he was in his life, and wanting to capture that sentiment in music. Additionally, the song's music video was shot in Cuba and features a young couple experiencing the joys of Cuban life and culture. The song was created using a unique sample technique where Coleman Hell would borrow sounds and noises from everyday objects and turn them into music. Glow was co-written with composer and producer Amilcar Cruz, with whom Coleman has collaborated on many of his songs. The song's overall theme of celebrating the light and joy in life also ties well with Coleman Hell's larger musical project of promoting positive vibes and energy.


As for the chords, Glow is written in the key of F major and utilizes the chords F, C, G, Am, and Dm. The verses follow a pattern of F, C, G, Am while the chorus switches to F, C, G, Dm. The intro and outro feature a riff that goes F, C, G, Am. While the instrumental breakdown in the middle interchanges between F and Am.


Overall, Glow is an infectious and upbeat track that's perfect for dancing and celebrating the good things in life.
