1. Chris and Aimie are two young Irish friends making noise in the Irish and US live scene.

LE BOOM began formed in June 2016 and, since then, have brought their electro-indie-house-pop show to cities such as New York, Reykjavik, Cork, Belfast, Galway and their hometown of Dublin.

LE BOOM's late-night shows are a frenzy of glass-bottle beats, layered loops, catchy vocal hooks and sweaty fans who dance like no other fans in the world.

LE BOOM's only release, What We Do, received airplay on both US and Irish radio. It featured in TV and ad campaigns including one for Absolut Vodka.

2. Le Boom is an indie band from Denver, Colorado known for its upbeat and danceable rock/pop music. It was the brainchild of lead singer and songwriter, Maylyn Martinez, and was formed in 2004 when she and lead guitarist Kyle Loving separated from their former band, Doozer. They completed their new lineup by uniting with bass player Dave F. Moore and drummer Tyler Dokken.

The band released its first album, Got It Tied, in 2004, which immediately received a Critic’s Choice endorsement from Westword Magazine, a weekly Denver periodical. Le Boom has played in numerous Colorado venues, as well as many outside the state, and as a result has built up a dedicated following. Their most visible gig was a performance at Denver’s Gothic Theater in April of 2005 which was filmed and broadcast on Denver’s Heartbeat, a cable TV show about Denver area bands. According to Sherry Lee, Executive Producer of Denver’s Heartbeat, Le Boom was the most popular band ever to appear on the show.

The band is currently working on a second album due for completion at the end of 2006 or beginning of 2007.

Orange Glow
Le Boom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It suddenly ended this morning
For the last time maybe
I walked home
The noise of the street hummed off-key
It was as the shower water splashed me softly
I realised that I didn't want the smell of you off me

But fuck it man anyway

Just pass us that plate again
Sure we all said we wouldn't get into this state again
You'll be dead long enough
And there'll be time for the hate again
I look around at these gorgeous faces
The absolute state of them

And even when it was serious it was still fucking craic
We spoke about our love for each other
And those not coming back
We made plans and said stupid shit that we couldn't take back
And we'll do it all again the next time

Don't look at your phones lads
They'll just fill you with sorrow
I don't know if the sleep in my eyes is from today or tomorrow
And yis don't have to go home
I still have some happiness you can borrow
I just know there's a beauty in this room that will outlast the morning

Somewhere in the orange glow
They played a song we hadn't heard yet
I looked around and wondered how on earth I deserved this
We pointed our cans up to the sky and laughed until it hurt us
If loving you is a lesson
Then I still haven't learnt it

And even when it was serious it was still fucking craic
We screamed into each others ears
With the moon on our backs
We put our arms around each other
And agreed on a pact

That we'll do it all again the next time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Orange Glow" by Le Boom capture a bittersweet moment of reflection and camaraderie after a wild night out. The song starts with the singer waking up in the morning, realizing that their time with someone they care about has come to an end. There is a sense of uncertainty whether this is truly the last time, but there is a lingering desire to hold onto the memories and connection they shared. The noise of the street serves as a reminder of the vibrant night they experienced together.

The lyrics then shift to a defiant and carefree attitude. The singer dismisses their current state as temporary and encourages their friends to indulge once again, perhaps in substance use. They acknowledge their previous promises to not get into this state again but seem resigned to the fact that they will eventually face the consequences. Despite this, they find beauty in the imperfect and flawed faces of their friends, appreciating the genuine connections they have.

The next verse highlights the intense bond between the group and the deep conversations they had. They openly expressed their love for each other and acknowledged the reality that not everyone will be there for the next adventure. They made plans, said things they might regret, but are unbothered by it and eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to relive those moments. It is a testament to the resilience and loyalty of these relationships.

The final verse brings a sense of melancholy mixed with gratitude. The singer advises their friends not to dwell on their phones, as it only brings sorrow. They express uncertainty about whether the sleep in their eyes is from today or tomorrow, possibly alluding to the blurred line between reality and the hazy memories of the night before. Despite this confusion, they find solace in the happiness they still possess and offer it to their friends. They recognize the transient nature of the beauty they are experiencing in that moment, but it is something that will outlast the morning.

The chorus, "Somewhere in the orange glow, they played a song we hadn't heard yet," encapsulates the magical and serendipitous moments that occur in the midst of chaos. It symbolizes the unexpected pleasures and surprises that arise from being fully immersed in the present moment. The singer looks around and wonders why they deserve this joy, highlighting a sense of gratitude and awe. The final lines speak to the everlasting spirit of this group, their unwavering bond, and the commitment to repeat the cycle of revelry and connection in the future.

Line by Line Meaning

It suddenly ended this morning
The experience abruptly came to an end today

For the last time maybe
Possibly the final occurrence

I walked home
I made my way back to my place on foot

The noise of the street hummed off-key
The bustling sounds of the street were dissonant

It was as the shower water splashed me softly
As the water from the shower gently touched me

I realised that I didn't want the smell of you off me
I came to the realization that I didn't want to remove your scent from my body

But fuck it man anyway
Nevertheless, disregarding the consequences

Just pass us that plate again
Please hand me that plate once more

Sure we all said we wouldn't get into this state again
We all promised not to find ourselves in this condition once more

You'll be dead long enough
There will be ample time for mourning after death

And there'll be time for the hate again
There will be an opportunity for hostility again

I look around at these gorgeous faces
I observe the beautiful expressions on the faces around me

The absolute state of them
The current condition of those individuals

And even when it was serious it was still fucking craic
Even in moments of seriousness, there was still enjoyment

We spoke about our love for each other
We openly discussed our affection towards one another

And those not coming back
Referring to those who will not return

We made plans and said stupid shit that we couldn't take back
We formulated future arrangements and made irreversible foolish statements

And we'll do it all again the next time
We will repeat the same actions in the future

Don't look at your phones lads
Do not pay attention to your mobile phones, my friends

They'll just fill you with sorrow
The devices will only bring you sadness

I don't know if the sleep in my eyes is from today or tomorrow
Uncertain if the tiredness in my eyes is a result of today or the upcoming day

And yis don't have to go home
You all don't need to leave and return to your own houses

I still have some happiness you can borrow
I still possess some joy that you can temporarily have

I just know there's a beauty in this room that will outlast the morning
I am certain that a certain beauty in this room will endure beyond the morning

Somewhere in the orange glow
In a particular location within the orange-colored illumination

They played a song we hadn't heard yet
A song was played that we had not yet listened to

I looked around and wondered how on earth I deserved this
I surveyed my surroundings and pondered how I could possibly deserve this

We pointed our cans up to the sky and laughed until it hurt us
We raised our beverage cans towards the sky and laughed until we felt physical pain

If loving you is a lesson
If the act of loving you serves as a valuable teaching

Then I still haven't learnt it
I have yet to fully understand it

We screamed into each others ears
We shouted loudly into each other's ears

With the moon on our backs
With the moon shining upon our backs

We put our arms around each other
We embraced one another by wrapping our arms around each other

And agreed on a pact
And mutually consented to a promise

That we'll do it all again the next time
That we will repeat the same experience in the future
