LANY is a three piece alternative band from Los Angeles, California. LANY formed in March 2014 when Paul Klein, who had a small solo career, flew to Nashville to meet up with Jake Goss and Les Priest. Previously, Goss and Priest had a separate project by the name of WRLDS, but this was discontinued after the formation of LANY. The following month they uploaded two songs, 'Hot Lights' and 'Walk Away', to SoundCloud incognito in order to differentiate between their old and new projects. Their debut EP, 'Acronymns' followed later that year, with song 'ILYSB' generating significant traffic online. Singles 'Made In Hollywood' and 'Bad, Bad, Bad' soon followed, along with the reveal of their identities.

Lany Lyrics

How do you know if you can really be sure?
But I can't move on.
I'm sorry that I loved her first.

Lany's "Someone Else" is a heartbreaking song about moving on from a past love. The lyrics explore the difficult concept of letting go of someone you still love, and wondering if you're capable of loving someone else. The opening lines set the tone for the song: "How long will I love you? / How long until I'm not so hung up on her?" The singer is questioning whether time, or any other factor, will eventually allow him to move on from his past relationship, and truly be able to love someone else.
Despite his best efforts, the singer admits that he just can't seem to let go of his ex-girlfriend. He sings, "I've tried to do it right / But she just let it go / Now I'm falling apart / And I can't move on." The feelings of heartbreak and frustration are palpable in these lines - he's done everything he can to try and move on, but it's just not working. And in the end, he can't help but feel sorry that he loved her first.
Overall, "Someone Else" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to anyone who's struggled to move on from a past love. The lyrics are raw and vulnerable, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful, making it a standout track on Lany's album.
