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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darling take your time, yeah take your time
I say we go stumble through the city
I could make you mine, I could make it
Now I'm never sure if I'm coming or going
I don't look for her, I can't look for her
I guess I love not knowing
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
What ya got, what ya got, what ya got?
She said, "Let's go stumble through the city."
I will make you mine, I will make it
oh my god
oh my god
oh no I will make it.
Now I'm never sure
yeah, I'm never sure
if I'm coming or going
But I don't look for her, I can't look for her
I guess I love not knowing
oh yeah, I love not knowing
oh yeah, I love not knowing
Now I'm never sure
yeah, I'm never sure
if I'm coming or going
But I don't look for her, I can't look for her
I guess I love not knowing.
oh yeah, I love not knowing
oh yeah, I love not knowing.
I've been Filling my lungs, liquor and bones
Yeah, it's time to go
Hopeless I know, living this slow
But who the hell would know?

Lydia's song "Take Your Time" is a mellow indie pop song with a dreamy sound. The song is about wanting to stay in the moment and not worrying about the future or the past. The opening lines "I never want to go, I never want to leave here, Darling take your time, yeah take your time" express a desire to stay in the present and enjoy the moment. The singer suggests going out and exploring the city together, which could lead to a possible romantic relationship "I say we go stumble through the city, I could make you mine, I could make it."
The chorus of the song contains repetition of the phrase "Oh my god" which could be interpreted as the singer being overwhelmed by the feeling of being present in the moment. The line "I guess I love not knowing" further reinforces the theme of living in the moment and not worrying about the future. The second verse adds to the ambiguous feeling of uncertainty as the singer is never sure if they are coming or going, but they love not knowing.
Overall, the song is about enjoying the present moment and letting go of worries about the past or future.
