She fell in love with rock at the age of 12 after buying her first guitar, much as one might be bowled over by a first romance. Since when Pamela Hute has gone back in time at a frantic pace, hoping to squeeze every drop out of the best pop music of the last five decades. The result has been the creation of a cocoon not so far removed from the here and now. An attractive, telecasterized world that seems just slightly familiar. The bitter-sweet atmosphere is as reminiscent of the colourlessness of Placebo in their Nancy Boy period as of Archive’s digital arrangements, PJ Harvey’s nonchalant laments, the brit-pop decadence of the nineties and the furious riffs of Clash’s London Calling.
Following « Mashed Potatoes », a rock trio she joined at 15, and her first live performances at Gibus and New Morning, Pam has trodden a long path, writing and composing over thirty songs live at venues such as la Flèche d'or, le Sentier des Halles, le Triptyque, or le Bus Palladium and refining her own special sound. A sound that suits her very well - saturated but melodic. Rock and roll without the trimmings. Music as enthusiastic as it is disenchanted.

You Call Me Dear
Pamela Hute Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t think I can tell you how
I feel right now
I feel alive
I had the choice to stay away
I left myself but you don’t care
You call me dear
I wish I could, I know I should
Bring me back love

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Pamela Hute's song You Call Me Dear convey the complex emotions the singer is experiencing at the moment. She is not exactly sure how to articulate her feelings, but one thing she knows for sure is that she is feeling alive. She seems to be caught in a difficult situation where she had a choice to stay away from someone, but she chose not to. However, it seems that the other person hasn't reciprocated her feelings, as they don't seem to care about her. Nonetheless, the other person continues to call her "dear," despite the situation being less than ideal.

The singer wishes she could express her love for the other person, but she knows it wouldn't be wise to do so. Perhaps she's afraid of rejection or doesn't want to make things more complicated than they already are. The song's lyrics suggest a struggle between the heart and the head - the singer's emotions are strong, but her better judgement is cautioning her not to get carried away. Ultimately, she hopes that her emotions can win the day, and her love for the other person can be rekindled.
