Glitterer was born in 2017 and have released two EPs Glitterer and Not Glitterer. The debut full-length Looking Through the Shades was recorded in the cozy carpeted basement of the Russin family home, in Kingston, Pa., and co-produced by indie-rock prodigy Alex Giannascoli (also known as (Sandy) Alex G) and the Arthur Rizk (Code Orange, Power Trip, Sumerlands, the 2018 Grammy Awards). The album contains Glitterer's best-yet sonics and songs; it has been constructed in such a way as to evince a spirit - co-operative, semi-schizophrenic, greater than the sum of its parts - that is proper to rock bands and that is inaccessible to even the least self-involved Soundcloud rappers and bedroom artists. Simply put, Looking Through The Shades is the sound of a group of people playing music, together, in a room. Meanwhile, the lyrics are still reluctantly but rigorously self-aware, the choruses are still habit-formingly catchy, and the arrangements still carry not an ounce of excess fat. (Broadway World)

Try Harder Still
Glitterer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been home
I′ve been in crowds
I've been alone
I've been dumb and also smart
Both at once, sometimes apart
I′ve been unclear
But that′s neither here nor there
Try harder still
Make up my mind if you will
Try harder still
Make up my mind
I've shown up
I′ve done the work
I still can't figure out
What I′m worth
Try harder still
Make up my mind if you will
Try harder still
Make up my mind
The lyrics of Glitterer's song "Try Harder Still" convey a sense of uncertainty and self-doubt. The singer is reflecting on their experiences and contrasting different aspects of their personality: being smart and dumb, being alone and in crowds. They seem to be grappling with conflicting feelings and unsure of themselves. The line "I've been unclear, but that's neither here nor there" suggests a feeling of apathy or resignation towards their own confusion.
The chorus of the song, "Try harder still, make up my mind if you will," is a call to action and a plea for resolution. The repetition of "try harder" implies that the singer has already been attempting to figure things out, but is still struggling. The phrase "make up my mind" suggests a desire for clarity and confidence in their decisions. The repeated use of "still" in the chorus emphasizes the ongoing nature of the struggle and the persistence required to overcome it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Try Harder Still" convey a relatable feeling of uncertainty and the difficulty of making important decisions. The repeated chorus is both a motivational call to action and a reminder that the process of self-discovery is ongoing and requires continued effort.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been away
I have been distant and away from things that matter
I've been home
I have been close to things that comfort
I've been in crowds
I have been surrounded by many people
I've been alone
I have been by myself
I've been dumb and also smart
I have sometimes been unintelligent but also intelligent at times
Both at once, sometimes apart
I have been both at the same time and sometimes separated
I've been unclear
I have been uncertain
But that's neither here nor there
That is unimportant and irrelevant
Try harder still
Put in more effort
Make up my mind if you will
Decide what to do or feel
I've shown up
I have attended and participated
I've done the work
I have completed the necessary tasks
I still can't figure out
I am still unable to understand
What I'm worth
The value of myself
Make up my mind
Decide what to do
