After a series of jazzy dance singles released on comps alongside the likes of LTJ Bukem and Jaffa, Lovespirals changed directions to explore more guitar-and-lyric-based music with their debut CD, Windblown Kiss, released mid-2002 by Projekt Records. The duo followed up in 2005 with Free & Easy, released on their own label, Chillcuts. In 2007, their 3rd album, Long Way From Home, and the Motherless Child EP were co-released by reapandsow, inc. and Chillcuts. 2008 and 2009 saw the release of two remix collections of This Truth, by Chillcuts and Loverush Digital, respectively. With radio and club support from Armin Van Buuren, Denny Dowd, The PH Factor and others, the Damien S And Love Spirals Feat Anji Bee set of This Truth mixes did well in dance music charts, hitting #2 in World Trance, #4 in World House and #10 in World Commercial on the DMC, as well as making the #8 spot on Music Week’s Upfront Club Chart. 2010 brought the release of the duo's 4th album, Future Past, the Love EP, and a music video for Home. Lovespirals also released their previously unavailable Ecstatic EP from 2001, as well as their 2005 remix set, Walk Away EP, on the duo's Bandcamp and Amie St accounts.
Lovespirals' music has appeared on TV and cable programs including Oprah, Martha, What Perez Sez, Mind of Mencia, Gastineau Girls, Cribs, and many other shows on stations including MTV, VH1, E!, Playboy, Logo, and Current TV.
Since 2005, Bee and Lum have produced a band podcast, called Chillin' with Lovespirals , which you can subscribe to for free from iTunes or listen to directly from www.lovespirals.com.
Water Under The Bridge
Lovespirals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How it could’ve been
When there’s no chance of doing over
All those things again
Would have
Should have
Could have
Water
Water under the bridge
(x4)
Yes indeed time’s come and gone
History is written
Naught to do but continue
Our future now begins
Would have
Should have
Could have
Might have
Water
Water under the bridge
(x4)
Ooh ooh ooh…
The lyrics of Lovespirals' song "Water Under the Bridge" present a reflection on the human tendency to dwell on the past and regret missed opportunities. The lines "What's the point in thinking over, How it could've been, When there's no chance of doing over, All those things again" suggest that there is no utility in ruminating over what cannot be changed. The repeated phrases of "would have, should have, could have, might have" reinforce this idea by highlighting the futility of regretting past actions. The metaphor of water under the bridge is used to emphasize that the past is gone and it is time to move on.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "water under the bridge" four times, driving home the central message of the song. The lines "Yes indeed, time's come and gone, History is written, Naught to do but continue, Our future now begins" acknowledge that the past is set in stone, and the only thing to do is to move forward and start anew. The chorus is also imbued with a sense of resignation, as the repetition of "water under the bridge" creates a feeling of finality.
Overall, "Water Under the Bridge" is a poignant song that encourages listeners to let go of their past regrets and focus on building a brighter future for themselves.
