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.
Dear Trouble
Correatown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But do I see you at all?
I wanted so much to need it
But I couldn't feel it all all
Ooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooh
Do you feel hungry at all?
And what you expect will lead you
Does that really serve you at all?
Ooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooh
Trouble again
Troubled by time
Trouble again
Oh your troubling mind
Shout it out to make it feel real
Blame yourself if you need to feel guilt
Tell yourself it's falling apart
Tell yourself it's breaking your heart
Letting go is never easy as holding out
Letting go is never easy as holding out
So all of the time I've seen you
Have I ever seen you at all?
Trouble again
Troubled by time
Trouble again
Oh your troubling mind
You 're wearing me down
You 're wearing me down
You 're wearing me down
The song "Dear Trouble" by Correatown appears to be a contemplative tune about a relationship that may have run its course. The lyrics start with the singer questioning whether they truly know their partner, stating that they are unsure if they see them at all. The following line seems to express a desire to feel an emotional connection, although they cannot seem to achieve it. The repetition of "Oooooooh" after each verse may represent a type of emotional yearning that is difficult to articulate in words.
The second verse asks whether the intended audience is satisfied with the status quo of their relationship or if they hunger for something more. The line regarding expectations that "lead you" raises the question of whether the person is being led astray or towards something better. The second time that the "Ooooooh" is repeated, it feels more uncertain and anxious than before, conveying the mood of the song as the singer grapples with uncertainty and inner turmoil.
The chorus repeats the word "trouble" twice and mentions being "troubled by time." It feels as if the song is trying to convey that the relationship that the singer is singing about has a lot of issues, including those that have been brewing for some time. The line about the person's "troubling mind" raises the possibility that this might not necessarily be a problem with the relationship itself but with the person's own mental state. The final verse talks about the difficulties of moving on from a relationship, stating that "letting go is never easy." The outro repeats the line "you're wearing me down," highlighting the struggle of trying to keep a relationship going when it no longer feels sustainable.

All of the time I see you
I am constantly aware of your presence in my life
But do I see you at all?

Have I ever seen you at all?
But I am unsure if I have ever truly understood you
You 're wearing me down
Your actions or the circumstances are causing me exhaustion or fatigue
