Kyle answered the praise with his seven-song EP, Find Love, Let Go (2007), including the single "Get Mad," which was featured as KCRW's Song of the Day. Kyle's last full-length, Real Blasty (2009), incorporated all the strengths critics lauded in Kyle's previous work but pushed his sound in a new direction. Darker and more aggressive songs found balance in upbeat, danceable tracks like "Sushi" and polished ballads. Andrews proved his acoustic-pop sensibilities were just as comfortable in big, electronic-laden club surroundings. Tamara Vallejos of NPR described it as "...an upbeat album for sad people who just want to dance. A lesser artist could get weighed down by the broody lyrics covering unrequited love, insecurities and general enui. But Andrews pulls it off by pairing his angst with bright electro-pop rhythms and irresistible hooks."
Now, with the KANGAROO EP, on Elephant Lady Records, Andrews is returning to his cheery, sunny pop. "This is my best effort at putting out something happy," Kyle says of KANGAROO. "Truth is, I wrote most of these songs when I wasn't very happy at all. Most of them came as relief at the peak of frustration: Just after a moment when I felt totally beat, I would grab the guitar, switch on the drum machine and these songs would appear. They were all telling me something I needed to hear. 'Even if you fall down hard, I know you'll bounce right back' [a lyric from the title track] pretty much sums up the overall message." Like all of Kyle's work, KANGAROO is catchy, with measured doses of synths and beats, but it belies a sweetness that endears Kyle to anyone who listens. "Sushi" appears again as a half-tempo remix, and "You Always Make Me Smile" (recently featured in a series of Holiday Inn commercials) proves Andrews is still intent on making everyone smile.
Find Love Let Go
Kyle Andrews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soda pop wishes
I'm sorry I drank so much
And was afraid of those dirty streets
I hope you find love
And grow a new center
And let go
Of hurt
When you walked out that door
It's like I froze
I got so tired of needing you
And hating myself
I hope you find love
And grow a new center
And let go
And let go
Of hurt
I finally put up those blinds
You know I took my time
I felt like dying there
So you'd have to say goodbye
I hope you find love
And grow a new center
And let go
And let go
Of hurt
The opening lyrics of Kyle Andrews's song "Find Love Let Go" paint a picture of two people in the midst of a tumultuous relationship. The singer describes their interactions as "open mouth kisses" and "soda pop wishes," indicating a certain level of carefree but perhaps immature behavior. The admission that the singer drank too much and was afraid of the "dirty streets" suggests a sense of danger or recklessness in their life together.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship has ended, or is about to end. The singer hopes that their ex-partner will "find love and grow a new center," indicating a desire for healing and growth. They urge their former flame to "let go of hurt," a sentiment that is repeated throughout the song. The second verse reveals the singer's own struggle with the breakup, admitting that they "got so tired of needing you and hating myself."
Line by Line Meaning
Open mouth kisses
We shared passionate kisses
Soda pop wishes
We had simple, child-like wishes
I'm sorry I drank so much
I apologize for drinking too much alcohol
And was afraid of those dirty streets
I was scared of the rough and dirty environment we were in
I hope you find love
I wish for you to find love
And grow a new center
To develop a fresh outlook on life
And let go
To release feelings of pain and sorrow
And let go
To release feelings of pain and sorrow
Of hurt
To let go of the pain and anger
When you walked out that door
When you left me that day
It's like I froze
I felt numb and shocked by your departure
I got so tired of needing you
I grew weary of relying on you for happiness
And hating myself
I despised myself for how I felt
I finally put up those blinds
I covered the windows to block out the outside world
You know I took my time
I did it slowly and deliberately
I felt like dying there
I was overwhelmed with despair and sadness
So you'd have to say goodbye
I wanted you to be the one to officially end things between us
I hope you find love
I wish for you to find love
And grow a new center
To develop a fresh outlook on life
And let go
To release feelings of pain and sorrow
And let go
To release feelings of pain and sorrow
Of hurt
To let go of the pain and anger
