Her latest CD was produced by Bill Lefler (Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers, Laura Jansen) and paid for 100% by fan contributions through a highly successful PledgeMusic campaign.
England took a hiatus from her solo career to focus on The Rescues upon being signed to Universal Republic in 2009. “It was a whirlwind couple of years,” she says. “When I had some quiet time in January 2011, the songs started pouring out.”
Kyler’s songs have appeared on numerous TV shows, including Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, Switched at Birth, Ghost Whisperer and Army Wives, and in the feature film The Lucky Ones, and her collaborations with DJs have been featured on Armin van Buuren’s “A State of Trance” compilations and radio shows.
She has toured the country (United States) many times, opening for Sting, Annie Lennox, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and more; she’s also played the Toronto Film Festival.
Electric Hum hit iTunes on 10.25.11 and went humming straight into the Singer-Songwriter chart Top 30. It was named #1 Indie Album of 2011 by Examiner.com and included in Amazon's Digital-Only Faves of 2011. A sign of things to come, Electric Hum is just warming up.
You Wait for Rain
Kyler England Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's a whole lot bigger than we thought, yeah
a hammer and nail won't fix it this time
so bring on the wrecking ball
it's like we've been drifting along
pretending like nothing's wrong, yeah
we play the game, keep up the charade
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
we just don't see it the same way
you say you want change but you're never sure
we can't go on like this anymore
cause at the end of the day
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
i was never good at standing still
always got a hunger to fill, yeah
don't think you ever understood that's who i am
what we gotta face is we're in different places
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
we just don't see it the same way
you say you want change but you're never sure
we can't go on like this anymore
cause at the end of the day
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
how'd we ever get so far from where we started from?
the hardest thing about this is i still care
you know there's something better for both of us out there
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
we just don't see it the same way
you say you want change but you're never sure
we can't go on like this anymore
cause at the end of the day
you wait for rain and i chase the storm
so bring on the wrecking ball
In Kyler England's song "You Wait for Rain," the singer talks about a relationship that has become broken beyond repair. The metaphor "it's more than a crack in the wall, it's a whole lot bigger than we thought" refers to the fact that the relationship is not just going through a rough patch, but rather there are fundamental issues that have not been addressed. The line "a hammer and nail won't fix it this time, so bring on the wrecking ball" highlights that it's beyond fixing.
The singer describes the two people in the relationship as being in different mental states. One is waiting for change to magically happen, while the other is actively chasing it. The line "you say you want change but you're never sure" shows that one of them is hesitant and unsure about taking action. When the singer says, "we're on different sides," it reveals that the relationship has led to a divide between them.
Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on how a relationship can crumble when there's a lack of communication and effort. It portrays the idea that even when two people care for each other, they may not be able to find common ground if they aren't willing to work together.
