Its taken a while to get this together as we have always been somewhere else and never really in the same city but now we are and here we are. Enjoy.
"When you hear tracks like “Into The Office” there is some sort of frenzied buzz, a weird feeling that just says this is it. I can’t really explain the feeling, or even how one discovers such frenzy. It’s just a demo that rules, basically." (Philippe, The Band Next Door)
"I work with Ms. Cheek. She's been banging on about Loon Lake. She blasts them whenever I turn down what I'm listening to. She's relentless with her volume knob. Which is OK. Because now I'm a convert." (Richard Kingsmill, Triple J)
"‘Into The Office’ is one of the first demos released by Loon Lake and it’s super promising. The sounds like a demo, yeah, but I’m really hoping they retain this loose, lo-fi feeling. Even if even every band this side of Eddy Current is trying to record thirty minute albums in twenty minutes, Loon Lake genuinely sound like dudes chilling with guitars in their garage. Doesn’t hurt that the hook in the chorus is a killer as well. In the increasingly crowded Australian garage rock market, these guys manage to stand out without ever sounding like they’re trying." (Matt Hickey, whothehell.net).)
"There's a fun, raw quality to each of their recordings, crazy amounts of hooks and guitar riffage that makes me smile. Easy Chairs explodes with power pop guitars, off kilter vocals and high notes that maybe can't quite be hit but just add to the charm with their crack at the top". (Zan Rowe, triple J)

Love Gets Done
Loon Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a moment of weakness
In a moment
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
And that's not fair to you.
Stop dragging around my heart
We've been through this a thousand times baby
Every time you throw me out
You pull me in
I can't go through this again
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
In a moment
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
And that's not fair to you.
Stop tearing down the walls I've built in my mind
They're meant for keeping fools like you outside.
I can't step on every stone and worry it will turn
It must be time to learn.
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
In a moment
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
And that's not fair to you.
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
In a moment
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
In a moment
All my love gets done
In a moment of weakness
And that's not fair to you.
Loon Lake's song "Love Gets Done" speaks about a common theme of emotional exhaustion in a tumultuous relationship. The singer admits that even though they have deep feelings for their partner, they only express it in moments of weakness, which is not fair to the other person. Furthermore, the singer urges their partner to stop playing with their heart and to stop tearing down their mental boundaries. Instead, they suggest it's time to learn and to grow together. The song is a candid admission of how love can be exhausting at times, but ultimately, it's up to both partners to overcome their fears and insecurities and work towards something real.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the track. The phrase "All my love gets done" is mysterious but powerful. It's as if the singer is already resigning themselves to the fact that their love won't last very long. The repetition of the line throughout the song emphasizes the hopelessness that the singer feels regarding their own emotional capabilities. Additionally, the line "Stop dragging around my heart, it's on the line" is indicative of how the singer is afraid that their love will be taken for granted. They are pleading with their partner to take their feelings seriously and not to play games with their heart.

All my love gets done
I give all the love I have
In a moment of weakness
When I am vulnerable and unable to resist
In a moment
It only takes a brief moment
And that's not fair to you.
It's unfair to you to be with someone who can't fully commit.
Stop dragging around my heart
Please stop hurting me and playing games with my emotions.
It's on the line
My heart is at stake.
We've been through this a thousand times baby
We've already experienced this situation many times before.
Every time you throw me out
Whenever you break up with me
You pull me in
You make up with me and lure me back
I can't go through this again
I can't handle this anymore.
Stop tearing down the walls I've built in my mind
Don't attack the emotional barriers I've constructed to protect myself.
They're meant for keeping fools like you outside.
Those defenses are intended to keep people like you from hurting me.
I can't step on every stone and worry it will turn
