The self written and produced album received massive critical acclaim earning them #1 and double platinum status and the 2011 SAMA Award for Best Selling Album Of The Year as well as Best Newcomer Of The Year. Following this, an international record deal and tour to go with it.
While touring the globe, Brian and Andrew began to write their experiences on a day to basis in preparation for a follow up album. Deciding to re-invent Locnville for the umpteenth time in their lives, they have revealed what they call Running To Midnight. The two describe the album as 'a complete experiment' and 'more blatant and honest' than their debut. Their follow up album reached #3 on the national charts in a mere 7 hours, peaking at #1 with mass critical acclaim yet again. The first single off Running To Midnight, Stars Above You has since peaked at #1 on national charts with the music video being chosen as Video Of The Week in A&R Worldwide, the industry's most respected source.
Running To Midnight is NOW AVAILABLE worldwide on iTunes and all music stores in South Africa.
As rumours go, there is ofcourse talk of a new project on the way, which is all speculation at present. Given the brothers' mysterious ways, we look forward to seeing what Locnville has to offer next!
Closer
LCNVL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say it's not over and hope that it's true
I'm waiting for someone and hope that it's you
I'm moving closer and closer to you
I say it's not over and hope that it's true
I'm waiting for someone and hope that it's you
I'm closer now (now now now now)
I'm closer now (now now now now now)
So I'll have another round
I'm blazin' up high, I will stare you down
'Cause if they don't want it
I won't follow surrender
I'll wait here until it gets better
I'm down and it's going to be bigger
I'm closer now (now now now now)
I'm closer now (now now now now now)
Sometimes they try to shoot me down
So I'll have another round
I'm blazin' up high, I will stare you down
'Cause if they don't want it
I won't follow surrender
I'll wait here until it gets better
I'm down and it's going to be bigger
I'm closer now
I'm moving closer and closer to you (I'm closer now)
I say it's not over and hope that it's true (I'm closer now)
I'm waiting for someone and hope that it's you (I'm closer now)
I'm closer now (now now now now)
The lyrics of LCNVL's song "Closer" speak of the singer's determination to pursue a certain someone. The repetition of "I'm moving closer and closer to you" reinforces this pursuit, and the use of "hope" in "I say it's not over and hope that it's true" shows a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability. The second verse speaks of facing obstacles and adversity, and the singer's determination to overcome them. The lines "Sometimes they try to shoot me down / So I'll have another round" suggest the idea of resilience and not backing down in the face of opposition. The phrase "I'm blazin' up high, I will stare you down" further reinforces this idea of not giving up and standing one's ground. The chorus repeats the idea of being closer now, and ends with the repetition of "now now now now now," perhaps emphasizing a sense of immediacy and urgency. The final repetition of "I'm moving closer and closer to you" suggests that the singer has not given up on their pursuit.
Overall, the lyrics of "Closer" convey themes of determination, resilience, and pursuit. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of "hope" and "wait" suggest a sense of longing and uncertainty, while the lines about facing opposition and not surrendering reinforce the idea of perseverance.
