1) Lydia is a two-piece (formerly six) indie rock group from Gilbert, Arizona.
Lydia started out in 2003 as a five piece band: Leighton Antelman (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Steve McGraw (Guitar), Maria Sais De Sicilia (Backup vocals and Keyboard), Dustin Forsgren (Bass), and Loren Brinton (Drums). Their debut album, This December; It's One More and I'm Free was released on September 27th, 2005 with the HourZero Records.
Their sophomore album, Illuminate, featured a new line-up: Evan Aranbul replaced Forsgren, Mindy White replaced Sais De Sicilia, and Craig Taylor replaced Brinton; a second guitarist, Ethan Koozer, was also added. Illuminate garnered extremely positive reviews and gained the band increased recognition. They toured extensively throughout the country and participated in the Zumiez Couch Tour, Vans Warped Tour, and The Bamboozle festival. They also played on the first annual Bamboozle Roadshow in 2008. In 2009, the band released an acoustic EP of 4 re-recorded songs off of "This December" titled Hotel Sessions.
Their final release, 7 track EP "Assailants", came out in 2010. Lead vocalist Leighton Antelman embarked on a solo project with an album planned for 2011, due to be produced by Matt Malpass. He has also stated that drummer Craig Taylor will continue to work with him. Mindy White formed States with Bryan & Stephen Laurenson of Copeland. Ethan Koozer is currently playing guitar for the New Jersey-based band Gates which contains former members of Bears & Bright Lights. Steve McGraw has formed a new band called The Saturn Hands.
In late May of 2011 Leighton announced that Lydia would put out a new record to be produced by Matt Malpass. Leighton hasn't announced a release date but he acknowledged that it should be expected in mid to late fall of 2011. Leighton and Matt also collaborated on their own project named The Cinema. Leighton tracked and recorded the album throughout June and July and will be mastered by Matt after. They will be producing this album on their own similarly to Assailants.

One More Day
Lydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't stay
Stay like this weather swirls
Cause you've become sick like this winter girl
Two more days, just two more
Now I see
Don't you say that I've gone crazy
I just lost my mind
But I still got you
Stay up late so you're sure
Sure that I wont stray too far
But surely that got too hard
Love is not for me
I promise
One more day, just one more
I'd Stay If I ever could
Stay if I ever could
And pick up your pieces babe
Cause there's never a perfect day
The song "One More Day" by Lydia is a reflection of a tumultuous relationship that the singer is in with their partner. The first verse sets up the scene of the singer watching their partner fall back, but not being able to stay through the rough times. The metaphor of comparing the partner's sickness to that of winter conveys the idea that the relationship has gotten too cold and unbearable to weather. Despite this, the singer begs for just two more days, perhaps indicating the fear of losing the partner permanently.
The second verse shows the singer's sense of helplessness and confusion, as they admit to losing their mind but still clinging onto the partner through the madness. They ask the partner to stay up late to ensure that the singer won't "stray too far," suggesting that the singer may have made mistakes or cheated in the past. Despite the promises made to stay, the singer admits that love is not for them and that they can only handle one more day before giving up entirely. The repetition of "stay if I ever could" conveys the sense of longing and regret that the singer feels, but ultimately recognizes as impossible.
The song overall is a bittersweet and poignant reflection on the hardships of love and relationships. The lyrics reveal a sense of vulnerability and desperation that conveys a relatable story for many listeners.

Well I saw you fall back once love
I noticed that you have stumbled before, my love.
But I can't stay
But unfortunately, I cannot remain by your side.
Stay like this weather swirls
Maintain your composure even as the weather gets tumultuous.
Cause you've become sick like this winter girl
Because you've fallen ill like a winter girl.
Two more days, just two more
I only have two more days left with you, just two more.
Now I see
Now I understand.
Don't you say that I've gone crazy
Do not accuse me of being crazy.
Because I haven't gone crazy yet
I am not yet insane.
I just lost my mind
I simply became overwhelmed and confused.
But I still got you
But despite everything, I still have you.
Stay up late so you're sure
Stay awake until you're certain.
Sure that I wont stray too far
Confident that I won't wander too distant.
But surely that got too hard
But eventually, that became too difficult.
Love is not for me
I am not meant for love.
I promise
I swear to you.
One more day, just one more
Just one more day with you, that's all I ask for.
I'd Stay If I ever could
I would stay with you if I could.
Stay if I ever could
Remain here if it were possible.
And pick up your pieces babe
And help you mend your broken pieces, my love.
Cause there's never a perfect day
Because there will never be a truly perfect time.

im generally not into this kind of music, but theres something about Lydia that sets them apart, makes them differnt. the musicianship and originality in this band is so strong, and their songs are absolutly beautiful. i have so much respect for this band.
@amandasmith7560
The solo is perfect. This whole song is perfect. This whole band if perfect. I’ve been listening to them for at LEAST 9 years. A girl I fell in love with showed them to me and I was hooked. And she led me on and my heart was so broken. I will always love her though, sadly

Your Taste Is My Attention, When It Gets Dark Out, Do You Remember, Hospital, We'll Never Die, This Is Twice Now and this song are all worthy of being on my playlist. I never heard of Lydia until recently and I'm glad I did. They have a very unique and melodic sound. This song is my favorite so far...
