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)

On Fire
Loon Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It looked like someone dyin'
And I just said u got to be strong
Cause that won't get you anywhere
You gots to keep a level head
and not be level-headed so long
She was on fire and I couldn't put her out
I won't rock the boat again
If you don't throw the paddles in cause we've got something good going on
No more to time to hesitate
now it's time to celebrate
no celebration is just what went wrong
She was on fire, She was on fire
She was on fire, And I never wanna put her out
She's a woman and women don't like to feel lonely
Don't try to change her, make her feel like she's the one and the only
Women don't like to feel lonely
(so treat her like)
she is the one and the only
she need you so)
Women don't like to feel lonely
Don't walk in here cryin'
We have to keep on tryin'
We can mess about
But don't dare walk out on fire
She was on fire, she was on fire
And I'm not gonna put her out
The lyrics to Loon Lake's song "On Fire" depict a conversation between the singer and a woman who has just walked into the room crying. The singer urges the woman to be strong and keep a level head, emphasizing that being emotional won't get her anywhere. The woman is on fire, metaphorically speaking, and the singer can't put her out. He then goes on to describe the importance of their relationship and the need to celebrate it rather than hesitate or take it for granted.
The song seems to be about the complexities of relationships, particularly with women. The line "She's a woman and women don't like to feel lonely" suggests a societal expectation for women to always be in a relationship, and the singer urges the listener to make the woman feel special and wanted. The repeated refrain "She was on fire" conveys a sense of passion and intensity, but also a sense of danger or unpredictability.
Overall, the song is about the ups and downs of relationships, the need to be supportive and understanding, and the importance of not taking each other for granted.

She walked in here cryin'
She arrived in a state of despair
It looked like someone dyin'
Her condition was similar to that of a dying person
And I just said u got to be strong
I encouraged her to find strength to deal with the situation
Cause that won't get you anywhere
I advised her that despair won't help her solve the problem
You gots to keep a level head
I advised her to keep her composure
and not be level-headed so long
But not take too long being level-headed
She was on fire and I couldn't put her out
She was going through a difficult situation and I couldn't help her
I won't rock the boat again
I promise not to cause trouble again
If you don't throw the paddles in cause we've got something good going on
If she doesn't give up on our relationship, we can have a good thing going on
No more to time to hesitate
It's time to act without hesitation
now it's time to celebrate
It's time to enjoy good times
no celebration is just what went wrong
If we're not happy together, it's a sign that something's wrong
She's a woman and women don't like to feel lonely
Women dislike feeling lonely
Don't try to change her, make her feel like she's the one and the only
Don't try to change her, instead make her feel special
Don't walk in here cryin'
Don't arrive in a state of despair
We have to keep on tryin'
We should keep putting effort into making the relationship work
We can mess about
We can have fun together
But don't dare walk out on fire
But don't give up on the relationship when things get tough
She was on fire, she was on fire
She was going through a difficult situation
And I'm not gonna put her out
And I'm not going to abandon her during hard times

'She was on fire, and I couldn't put her out.' I knew a girl like that. She was like a volcano. One day she erupted. All I can say, I was glad I got the hell of that island. Man, she was devastating.
