**Mallory Oakland, CA:
From the sweat, blood, and tears of three East Bay locals; Mallory is the combined efforts of Dan Contreras, Kenneth Greer, and Dan Stilwell. The three formed a group after Dan S. and Kenneth were shocked by a self-produced demo of Dan Contreras’. The trio, having grown-up and played together, instantly clicked. Dan S. and Kenneth moved Dan C. in and began working on producing a record. Soon they had a demo made; recorded entirely at the home they share in Berkeley. In early 2012 Mallory entered the studio and tracked their debut full length Pretty Dirty Ugly Clean set to release this summer.

Summer Rain
Mallory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nuit noire, une tempête de bitume
Le vent frais qui entre en elle
Mallory en vieux cuir et bottes noires
Hausse le front et monte le ton
Mains froides glissées dans l’ouverture
Sur une chaîne en fer qui claque
Mais pas assez, non, pas assez, pas assez !
You will never be, mom’, hard as a rock n’ roll
Shine little bird, shine like a lonely soul
If you want to be apart
Come under the summer rain
Shine little bird, shine like a lonely flame
And come
Come again
If you are my friend
And if you fly
Fly away
Just ride under the summer rain
Berline qui s’arrête en warning
Une lumière qui brille au loin
Mallory se cale dans ses sandales
Prend une clope et ouvre la porte
Ils s’engagent dans l’allée des mystères
Cachés tout au fond du monde
Enlève le haut, danse mais garde ses bas
Et sort un doigt…et sort un doigt
You will never be, mom’, hard as a rock n’ roll
Shine little bird, shine like a lonely soul
If you want to be apart
Come under the summer rain
Shine little bird, shine like a lonely flame
And come
Come again
If you are my friend
And if you fly
Fly away
Just ride under the summer rain
The lyrics of Mallory's song "Summer Rain" paint a vivid picture of a dark and stormy night in the city. The opening lines describe a noir atmosphere, with asphalt storms and a cool wind blowing through. Mallory, clad in old leather and black boots, stands tall and raises her voice. She slips her cold hands into an opening, gripping onto a clanking iron chain. A few men linger nearby, but it's not enough, not satisfying enough for her.
In the next verse, a car stops with its hazard lights on, and Mallory notices a distant shining light. She settles into her sandals, takes a cigarette, and opens the door. Together, they venture into the alley of mysteries, hidden deep in the world. Mallory takes off her top, dances, but keeps her stockings on. She confidently raises her middle finger... and raises another one.
These lyrics suggest a rebellious nature and a refusal to conform to societal norms. Mallory's mother, perhaps, warns her that she will never be as tough as rock and roll, but Mallory embraces her individuality. She encourages herself to shine like a lonely soul, to break away from the crowd if she wants to be true to herself. Mallory invites her friend to join her, to fly away and ride under the summer rain. These words convey a sense of freedom, celebrating the power of self-expression and the beauty of embracing one's uniqueness.
Overall, the lyrics of "Summer Rain" showcase Mallory's defiance, her desire to break free from expectations, and her determination to shine brightly despite any challenges she may face. It's a song that encourages listeners to embrace their own individuality and to find joy in expressing their true selves. The imagery of the stormy night, the rebellious actions, and the invitation to ride under the summer rain all contribute to the themes of empowerment and self-discovery woven throughout the song.
