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.

This Is Twice Now
Lydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I saw your door wide open,
But the floor is still freezing.
Hailey, I was sick and I'm still quite unwell.
Tell me it's you or nothing at all.
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I'd never be able
Second time now and you've done this before
Drive around the back so I can't see them,
But you're still freezing.
Let me take your coat and your keys and this car,
'Cause I?ve been unwell far too long now.
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I?d never be able
But oh, the whole world is still on my string, oh
But oh, the whole world is still on my string
And oh, the whole world is still on my string,
Yeah, is still on my string
(It's never much when I sing about you.)
The lyrics for Lydia's song "This Is Twice Now" portrays a sense of regret and longing as the singer seeks to reconnect with a former lover after a failed romance. The opening lines "Baby just ask once more / 'Cause I saw your door wide open, / But the floor is still freezing" hints at the singer's reluctance to approach their former lover and rekindle their relationship due to past failings.
The second verse highlights the singer's apprehension as they reminisce about the past: "Drive around the back so I can't see them, / But you're still freezing. / Let me take your coat and your keys and this car, / 'Cause I've been unwell far too long now." The singer seeks to avoid past mistakes by requesting a second chance and offering to take control of the situation.
The chorus, "‘Cause I stole your soul, / You said I'd never be able / But oh, the whole world is still on my string," suggests a power dynamic in the relationship and the singer's desire to regain control by winning back their lover's affection.

Baby, just ask once more
'Cause I saw your door wide open
The floor's still freezing
Well, Hailey, I was sick, and I'm still quite unwell
Tell me it's you or nothing at all
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I'd never be able
But oh, the whole world, is still on my string
Second time now and you've done this before
Drive around the back
So I can't see them
But you're still freezing
Well, let me take your coat, and your keys, and this car
'Cause I've been unwell
Far too long now
'Cause I stole your soul
You said I'd never be able
But oh, the whole world, is still on my string, ohh
But oh, the whole world, is still on my string
But oh, the whole world, is still on my string

But oh, the whole world, is still on my string
Yeah, is still on my string

I remember being a 12 year old girl, with more on my plate and head than any girl that age should have. And every night I would listen to this album, cry and know there was a different world for me out there. As of now, being twenty, I’m still trying to create the different world for myself. Some days are harder than others, I’m just grateful I can go back to my roots with this album and let myself feel it all. Much love everyone.
