His songs are heart wrenching stories outlined by divine melodies, intelligent and hooky guitar lines set in subtly epic productions with Luke Pickett’s unique soaring vocals and signature falsetto. This young man has a way of spinning a classic love tale into an über-romantic twisted musical sonnet. Luke Pickett is the troubadour sent back from the future to wake us up from the banality of shoe-gazing retro hippies.
Citing Jeff Buckley, Michael Jackson, and Prince as influences, this 22 year old’s sound is somewhat hard to pin down. It’s labeled Acoustic/Alternative/R&B, but Luke Pickett’s music is clearly the result of a wide range of influences.
Luke has previously fronted post-hardcore band Her Words Kill.
See You At The Disco
Luke Pickett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked up to your front door again
I played it cool, there were no chills
We were just seeking thrills, baby
Yeah, it's friday and it's my day
October 28th
You play it cool
Then everything just falls into place
Everything just falls into place
Just falls into place
So slide my jacket into place
And prop my collar up
I bought you this dress, don't be late
Don't leave me on the phone
You play it cool
You play it just for me
Then everything just falls into place
Everything just falls into place
Suddenly I'm looking left and looking right for you to stand here by my side
It seemed as if love had fallen into place
It was yours, yours and mine
But this, this is goodbye
At least for tonight
The lyrics to Luke Pickett's "See You At The Disco" explore the nervous and exhilarating feelings of anticipation before a date. The song opens with the singer visiting the object of his affection at her doorstep while trying to appear nonchalant, hoping to "just [seek] thrills." The lyrics create a sense of a tentative, tenuous connection between the two characters who are both searching for something to hold onto. The date itself is described as a sweltering, intoxicating event at the disco, where the singer feels like everything is falling into place.
However, these moments of security and comfort are short-lived, and by the end of the song, the characters are parting ways with uncertainty hanging in the air. The singer is looking for his love to stand by him, but instead, the back-and-forth romantic tension of the song ends in a vague goodbye. The song's bittersweet conclusion suggests that love isn't as perfect and snug as it might seem in the brief moments of comfort, but rather it is a continuous struggle that requires patience, trust, and effort.
Overall, "See You At The Disco" is a poignant exploration of the brief but intense feelings of love and connection that shape our lives.

So yesterday
Refers to a past event
I walked up to your front door again
Visited the girl's home
I played it cool, there were no chills
Acted normal and wasn't nervous
We were just seeking thrills, baby
We were just looking for fun
Yeah, it's friday and it's my day
It's friday, and he enjoys weekends
October 28th
The day the events took place
You play it cool
She acts calm and casual
You play it just for me
She acts differently around him
Then everything just falls into place
Things seem to work out perfectly
So slide my jacket into place
Adjusting his clothing
And prop my collar up
Puts up his collar for style
I bought you this dress, don't be late
Gave a gift to the girl, telling her to be on time
Don't leave me on the phone
Don't hang up on him
Suddenly I'm looking left and looking right for you to stand here by my side
Looking for the girl to arrive
It seemed as if love had fallen into place
It felt like they were meant to be together
It was yours, yours and mine
Their connection was mutual
But this, this is goodbye
Saying goodbye for now
At least for tonight
Only saying goodbye for the night

So I'll just join the memories wagon and say last night, some way, somehow, I remembered when I used to listen to these songs. 10+ years later, it's just the same. Great acoustics for the ever-teen heart
