The group formed in 2008 when Jones began playing Brooklyn venues to practice guitar, with the help of Dobson. They were then joined by Popper, and the three began working together to expand creatively. Some of the group's early shows were in front of friends and done just for fun as they covered songs they loved.[3] In an interview with The Boston Globe published July 17, 2014, Jones describes the first shows as "never stressful because it was loose and nobody was coming but our friends." Dobson adds, "We were just playing shows and coming together as our schedules went along. It was just about playing music and not having an agenda of any kind
Twilight
Puss N Boots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
Over by the wildwood
Young lovers go
Sparks flashing in the night
If I had my way I'd never
Get the urge to roam
A young man serves his country
And an old man guards the home
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Memories turn dusty old and grey
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
I could face the darkness, oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up inside
You'll only hurt yourself
Don't know what to do
Tryin' to make it on your own
Who you think you're foolin'?
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
Nothing that I can't give away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
The song "Twilight" by Puss N Boots explores the theme of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics describe a sense of longing for human connection and the fear of being left alone in the darkness of twilight. The singer implores her lover not to send her distant salutations or souvenirs from far away, but rather to stay with her and keep her company. She speaks of the loneliness of twilight, which is often seen as a transitional period between day and night, and can bring up feelings of confusion and vulnerability.
The chorus of the song sums up the theme, with the repetition of the line "Don't leave me alone in the twilight." The verse shifts to a more uplifting tone, describing young lovers going into the wildwood, with their true colors showing. However, the mood quickly darkens again with the line, "If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam." The singer longs for stability and a sense of home, contrasting the idea of soldiers serving their country with old men guarding their homes.
The bridge of the song addresses the internal struggles that we all face, with "certain trials burnin' up inside." The singer implores her lover not to try and make it on their own, warning them that they'll only hurt themselves. The song ends with a plea not to leave her alone in the twilight, conveying the fear and desperation that comes with the looming darkness.

Don't send me no distant salutations
Please don't send me impersonal greetings from afar
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Nor any meaningless gifts from distant places
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Please don't leave me to suffer in the most isolated time of the day
Twilight is the loneliest time a day
Dawn and dusk are the loneliest hours of the day
Over by the wildwood
In the woods, where nature is untamed
Young lovers go
Lovers in their youth traverse this path
Sparks flashing in the night
Their passion ignites during the night
True colors show
Their real personalities come out
If I had my way I'd never
In my ideal world, I would never
Get the urge to roam
Feel the need to travel far from my home
A young man serves his country
A young man fights for his nation
And an old man guards the home
An elder protects his family and homeland
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
Please don't trap me in your memories
Memories turn dusty old and grey
Recollections become dreary and desolate over time
I could face the darkness, oh
I would confront the dark if I had to
Storms in the skies
Even if chaos is brewing in the heavens
But we all got certain trials
We all have trials that we face
Burnin' up inside
Our inner struggles flame within us
You'll only hurt yourself
If you continue down this path, only you will suffer
Don't know what to do
You have no idea what to do
Tryin' to make it on your own
Attempting to thrive independently
Who you think you're foolin'?
Who do you expect to deceive?
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
Don't give me anything I can't handle
Nothing that I can't give away
Nothing that I can't get rid of
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
Please don't abandon me during the most lonesome hour of the day
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time a day
Because dawn and dusk are the loneliest times of the day

I had a version of GTO back in the90’s, but can’t recall the Canadian band that was associated with it. Anyone recall the name? I can almost remember the CD COVER…..
