Johnny Solomon. Molly Moore. Adam Switlick. Jonathan Blaseg. Al Weiers.
A few years ago John Solomon walked away from music. After a long struggle with addiction and a brief stint in jail he broke up his critically acclaimed band and moved to a small town. And supposedly that was that.
Even though Solomon left music, music never left him. After a long hiatus, he called some friends to come and demo up a new album....

Northern Lights
Communist Daughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was only 17, I guess I should've known
Now the noise is coming from the road
I was going 70, past the drifting snow
Northern lights, through the windshield
They led me onto the snow field
And how I wish you would come too
Down about as far as I can go
And I was just sittin' here, it was 13 years ago
All the things I guess I should've known, so what we gonna do about it
yeah what we gonna show
The Northern lights, through the windshield
They led me onto the snow field
And how I wish you would come too
For a better life, maybe another life for two
The Northern lights, through the windshield
They led me onto the snow field
And how I wish you would come too
For a better life
The Northern lights, through the windshield
They led me onto the snow field
And how I wish you would come too
For a better life, for a better life, for a better life, for a better life
Maybe another life for two
The lyrics to "Northern Lights" by Communist Daughter describe a journey taken by the singer down to the depths of their emotional state. At just 17 years old, they made decisions that they now regret and are left wondering what can be done about it. In this vulnerable state, the singer is driving 70 mph along a road with drifting snow when they see the Northern lights through the windshield. The beauty of the lights leads the singer to a snow-covered field where they wish someone could join them for a better life or maybe just another life together.
The Northern lights are a powerful symbol in this song. They represent hope and the possibility of finding something beautiful and extraordinary even in the darkest of moments. The snow field serves as a contrasting image to the darkness, as it is pure and untouched, open to new possibilities. The singer wishes for someone else to share this experience with them, someone who can bring light to the darkness and bring hope for a better future. The song shows how a moment of beauty can inspire and give hope, even in the darkest of times.

Down about as far as I can go
Feeling extremely low and hopeless
I was only 17, I guess I should've known
Regretful about past decisions made as a teenager
Now the noise is coming from the road
Distractions and disruptions on the path that was chosen
I was going 70, past the drifting snow
Continuing the journey despite unfavorable conditions
Northern lights, through the windshield
The beauty and wonder that was encountered along the way
They led me onto the snow field
The lights were a guide, bringing a sense of direction
And how I wish you would come too
Desire for companionship on this journey
For a better life, maybe the Northern lights for two
Wishing for a brighter future, with someone by their side
All the things I guess I should've known, so what we gonna do about it
Reflecting on the past and contemplating what actions to take in the present
The Northern lights, through the windshield
Reiteration of the guiding lights encountered on the journey
And how I wish you would come too
Reiteration of the desire for companionship
For a better life, maybe another life for two
Hope for a new and improved life, shared with a partner
For a better life
A constant focus on improving one's circumstances
For a better life, for a better life, for a better life, for a better life
Continuing to emphasize the importance of striving for a better life
