Another February
Local H Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on (x2)
You're digging out your car again
The chair left in the yard
Has another life again

Another February comes and goes
Another February, snows and snows
Go on (x2)
Your February comes again
The circle comes around
The bartenders are down
February comes again

Another February, spare a dime
Another February slightly worse than January

Oh God, I lost the thread
That goddamn battery's dead
I can't kick the cough
The heat's been turned off

The family unit tightens

You bounce another check
The dog's a nervous wreck
And I smell like a brewery
A measure of my misery

Another February, scratch
Scratch for food, for food
Another February slightly worse than January

Luck, a little bit of love and (x24)

Another February
Belts are tightened, daddy's frightened
Another February so much worse than January

Luck, a little bit of love and (x7)




Luck, a little bit of love and luck
A little bit of love and luck (x3)

Overall Meaning

The song "Another February" by Local H is a poignant and reflective piece that portrays the struggles of life, particularly in the dead of winter. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the mundane and difficult tasks we must face daily, such as digging out our cars and the constant circle of paying bills and making ends meet. The repetition of "Another February" emphasizes the monotony and never-ending cycle of hardships.


The verse, "The family unit tightens, you bounce another check, the dog's a nervous wreck, and I smell like a brewery" highlights the toll that life's struggles have on not just the individual, but on their entire support system. The mention of the dog's nervousness and the tightening of the family unit suggests that these struggles are felt by all those around us. The overall tone of the song is one of melancholy and resignation, with the repeated line "slightly worse than January" suggesting a never-ending pit of despair.

@Mats van der Aa Amazing band. I just saw them last month with Soul Asylum, blew me away. Everyone in the crowd who were not familiar with them where lined up at the merch stand after the show. And at the table was Scott himself, working harder than ever. I have so much respeck for them.

Mats van der Aa

@wildagain They've been a 2-piece for a long time

wildagain

band? .. looks like they’ve dropped down to a one piece watched this !?!

Mats van der Aa

While I agree that the lyrics are depthful and catchy, Local H is far from the most lyrical band. It's their instrumentation and songwriting which really makes them such a strong band.

Sam Gardner

That's simply because Scott is an absolute fucking genius!
