Correatown was a name some… Read Full Bio ↴Correatown is an alias for angela correa.
Correatown was a name someone called her once. Based in the Eastside of Los Angeles, the band is the musical project of Angela Correa with bandmates Mike Corwin, Jenni Tarma and Rob Poynter.
In previous incarnations, Correatown was a more spare amalgam of early folk and lo-fi buzzing indie rock; however, over the past few years the sound has evolved into a lush and textured experience of melodic soundscapes. “When I began writing songs for our latest recordings I kept imagining the sounds and instruments that would shape the direction of our new songs. The most appealing were really freaked out thick and pulsing bass sounds or odd twitchy static noises tucked into shimmering and ethereal melodies. I wasn’t sure how it could end up being beautiful but the more the band explored different arrangements and instruments, the more I felt the possibility of having a less organic sound that felt more evocative of the music we wanted to create was our compass,” confesses Angela. Correatown sought out producer Dan Long and have spent the past year creating the sound of their upcoming recordings.
Angela Correa/ Correatown have self-released three full-length albums and two EPs and had songs used on television, including Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Ugly Betty and Brothers and Sisters. In 2007, Angela's voice was featured as the singing voice of Jenna Fischer's character Darlene in the Sony Pictures film "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" on the songs "Let's Duet." Angela Correa/ Correatown have toured the West Coast extensively, as well as parts of the Midwest and East Coast, UK and Europe.
The band is set to release their third full length, Pleiades, on September 20th through their own label Another Room Recordings.

Correatown Lyrics

You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can't do that
There's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
But I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
These lyrics depict a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The singer is expressing their frustration and sadness over their partner constantly pushing them away, making it impossible for them to communicate and resolve their issues. The line "It's so sad that you're leaving, It takes time to believe it" suggests that the partner has decided to end the relationship, causing the singer to feel a mix of sadness and disbelief.
The chorus, "Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say, I really don't think you're strong enough," reflects the singer questioning whether their partner will be able to move on and find happiness after their separation. They doubt their partner's emotional strength and ability to cope without them. This can be interpreted as the singer's frustration with their partner's inability to acknowledge their own faults and grow from the situation.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that waiting for their partner to come back is pointless. They refuse to stay stagnant and decide to move on. The line "I need time to move on, I need love to feel strong" indicates that the singer recognizes the importance of self-care and finding love that nurtures them, rather than remaining stuck in a toxic relationship. They also express a sense of self-worth, stating that they may be too good for their partner.
The repeated affirmation "But I know that I'll get through this, 'Cause I know that I am strong, I don't need you anymore" emphasizes the singer's determination to overcome the hardships caused by the end of the relationship. They find strength within themselves and declare that they no longer rely on their partner for happiness or support.
Overall, these lyrics explore the journey of moving on from a failed relationship and finding self-confidence. The singer questions their partner's ability to move forward, recognizes their own strength, and ultimately decides to let go and prioritize their own well-being.
