It didn't take long for I the Mighty to start making an impression on the West Coast. The quartet landed on the music director's desk at local modern rock station Live 105 around the release of Hearts and Spades, and from there it's been one milestone after another. I the Mighty have found regular radio airplay, opening slots for Deftones, Hawthorne Heights, and There For Tomorrow, as well as packed venues up and down the West Coast. Not to mention glowing reviews and coverage in Alternative Press, AMP Magazine, and on AbsolutePunk.net
"We wanted to introduce I the Mighty and Hearts and Spades to as many people as possible, so we decided to put together a 'track hunt' and make each of the songs available on different social media sites and later on Purevolume.com," explains singer Brent Walsh. "We researched how our fans and friends discovered music online and embraced that by giving them a reason to connect with us (the EP for free) and then we tried to build a personal friendship with each one." The band's marketing strategy has been an unquestionable success, with over 3,500 full EP downloads within the first 3 months of release.
In addition to their high-energy live set, I the Mighty have paired new media intellect with traditional promotion to help build a loyal and enthusiastic group of fans.
They were signed to Equal Vision records and released three albums before breaking up in 2020 due to frontman Brent Walsh receiving sexual assault allegations.
Streetlights On
I the Mighty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
waiting for the sun to rise and take them away.
And with the elegance that you possess you challenge my confidence
and I can’t bare to move in for the kiss.
Our dilated eyes make it clear to me the dark can be a lonely thing.
Thank God for a star infested sky to light.
But I’ve just got one thing left.
Before you turn and bid goodnight, all I wanted was to tell you everything.
So here we are back at the start.
Just a step from your porch but not quite out of the yard.
You’re playing a little game called hard to get and I’ve got to admit
that I kind of like it.
Yeah, I’m game for the chase.
But I’ve just got one thing left.
I’ve just got one thing left.
Before you turn and bid goodnight, all I wanted was to tell you everything.
Don’t go inside! Stay please.
Don’t go inside.
The lyrics to I the Mighty's song "Streetlights On" paint a picture of a night that is coming to an end. The singer reflects on the events of the night and imagines them scattering into the streetlights and passing the time until the sun rises and takes them away. The singer is with someone they are attracted to and admires, but their confidence is being challenged, and they can't bring themselves to make a move. The dark can be a lonely thing, but the star infested sky lights up the night and provides some comfort.
As the night comes to a close, the singer finds themselves back where they started, on the doorstep of the person they are interested in. The other person is playing hard to get, and the singer enjoys the chase. However, before the other person turns to bid goodnight, the singer has one thing left to do - tell them everything they feel. They plead with the other person not to go inside and to stay a little longer.
Overall, "Streetlights On" tells a story of longing and desire, but also of hesitation and nervousness. There is a sense of vulnerability in the singer's words as they express their feelings to the object of their affection. The imagery of the streetlights and the starry sky give the song a wistful and romantic feel.
