Rather than working within the parameters of previous output, Velvet Changes sees Jones eschewing samples and expanding his palette to incorporate the dreamy aesthetics often associated with vintage 4AD bands like A.R. Kane or Cocteau Twins. From the moment opener “Forever, Until” materializes, it’s clear that the record is in no rush—airy guitar strums, endearingly scrappy electronic drums, and reverb-soaked vocals slowly coming into the mix to create an environment of blissful languor. The songs tend toward mid-tempo ranges and are clearly entrenched in their atmospherics, but lack nothing in pure pop appeal. Many of Jones’ earlier recordings had the feel of beat-tape sketches, but here tracks like “Prettiest Pills” and “Supersoaker” use hooks, catchy guitar lines, and builds and releases to great emotional effect. When not wooing with its anthemic allure, Velvet Changes explores tension in subtle dissonance (“Paper Lungs”) and lets itself meander toward its own fringes (“The Woods and The Fire”). A quick look through Dog Bite’s back catalogue shows that it’s a malleable entity, and Velvet Changes is proof that when Jones does settle into a sound, he can make it sound like he’s been there all along.
Forever Until
Dog Bite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The summer
Hey you, I think you had your head right, stuck on time
The summer
And I wanna go for a walk
And I wanna spend my day with you
Forever, until there's no more
The lyrics of Dog Bite's song Forever, Until appear to be about spending time with someone who the singer cares about deeply. The first verse addresses this person directly, mentioning that they left their "lights on, stuck on bright" and that they had their "head right, stuck on time" during the summer. These lines suggest that the person was focused on something important during the summer, but that they might have left that behind now. The chorus of the song states that the singer wants to spend time with this person, and that they want to do so "forever, until we go" and "forever, until there's no more." These lines suggest an intense desire to spend time with the person, and perhaps a fear of losing them or the opportunity to be with them.
Overall, the lyrics of Forever, Until seem to be about the powerful emotions that can come with caring about someone deeply, and the longing to spend time with them as much as possible. The mention of the summer and the idea of spending time "forever" with someone could also suggest a desire for a carefree, idyllic existence that does not have to end.
