(1) Lovers are the brain child of gifted lyricist and heartbroken hero Carolyn Berk (CUBBY), the doe-eyed, silken voiced vagabond whose intimate tales of love and loss have garnered her overwhelming critical acclaim. Torrents of emotion fill each song on Lovers' sophomore release, The Gutter and the Garden, but an unflinching, underlying kindness runs throughout. Achingly beautiful string arrangements, subtle vocal harmonies, and layered soundscapes create a perfect musical accompaniment to Berk's breath-taking imagery and nuanced narratives.
...
Lovers have successfully followed their brilliant debut release Starlit Sunken Ship, over which the Boston Phoenix raved, "Carolyn Berk's songs are full of breathless melancholy and a sinking, infinite sadness. In them you hear hints of the circus-funeral magic-realist run-on folk song of Neutral Milk Hotel, the dreamy twilight grandeur of Mazzy Star, Bright Eyes' last-gasp heartstring soliloquies, and the ghosthaunted majesty of Magnetic Fields' loneliest highways. But I'll be damned if Berk isn't a more entrancing spell caster than any of them."
(2) Swedish project that released one album in 2013, Addicted To Drugs.

Lovers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you be the one
To hold me and let me tag along?
I'll tell you
About everyone who's done me any kind of harm
Oh, (we'll jump her muddy ground?)
With the storm cloud in her head
Or count to ten, there?
Ginger
All my dreams are of
Phone lines, rings all day long
And I would
Sleep in your shed
And I would make away with your herd
Nights are nice when you're not scared
But you don't care that I'm not there
When all the phone calls are returned
Sleepyhead can rest assured
Ginger
Could love me like a son
Tie her swing out from the lawn
I want to
Be your only child
I want to feel your heart in mine
Don't let go on me now
Ginger
In the song "Ginger" by Lovers, the singer is pleading for the affection and comfort of someone named Ginger. The song's title, which is also repeated in the chorus, is a name that is often associated with warmth, caring, and love. The singer wants Ginger to be the one who holds them close and listens to their troubles, as they vent about everyone who has done them harm. Though the song starts with a hopeful tone, the lyrics showcase a sense of insecurity and desperation regarding the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that they dream of a life with Ginger, where they spend their days lounging and answering phone calls. They even suggest that they would sleep in Ginger's shed, and steal their herd. Although the prospect of a life together seems idyllic, the singer seems to recognize that they may be too overeager, as they acknowledge that Ginger "doesn't care that [they're] not there."
In the last verse, the singer takes things to a whole new level, imploring Ginger to love them like a son, and telling them they want to be Ginger's only child. The final line, "Don't let go on me now" seems like a sad plea for Ginger to not abandon them. Overall, the song "Ginger" is a melancholic yet heartfelt tune that depicts the vulnerability and fragility of human relationships.
