When Sallie Ford first burst into the music scene she quickly established herself as one of the most powerful voices in indie rock. Today, Sallie premieres a new song “Coulda Been” on A.V. Club from her upcoming new album Slap Back out on October 14th, marking her debut on Vanguard Records. Produced by Chris Funk (Decemberists, Black Prairie, Red Fang), the new album introduces Sallie’s all new line-up - Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce & Blue Giant) on bass, Amanda Spring (Point Juncture, WA) on drums & Cristina Cano (Albatross & Siren & the Sea) on keyboards.
About “Coulda Been” Sallie says: "The song is about games that people play in romantic relationships and how you always want what you can't have. I wrote the lyrics first and was inspired to write music when I was playing along with computerized drum beats in order to find inspiration."
Sallie Ford grew up playing music in Asheville, NC. In 2006, she decided to move to Portland, OR where she met her band "The Sound Outside." Together they released three albums and an EP but parted ways in 2013. The beginning of this year Sallie fulfilled her dream of starting an all-girl rock n’ roll band and in February of 2014, the band went into the studio with producer Chris Funk to begin recording Slap Back. The new record has a surf, garage rock & classic rock feel. Sallie proclaims Slap Back to be an “ode to all babe rockers from Joan Jett, Blondie and Pat Benetar to PJ Harvey & Exene Cervenka.”
Sallie Ford has performed on the Late Show with David Letterman and garnered critical acclaim from USA Today, NY Daily News, Boston Globe, Interview, Nylon, BUST, Paste and many more.
Paris
Sallie Ford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't seem to get you off my mind
You're lost in the most romantic city in the world
And I can't seem to get you off my mind
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again
I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again
'Cause you're lost in the most romantic city in the world
you're lost in the most romantic city in the world
And I can't seem to get you off my mind
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
If I could Paris sight
I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again
I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again
I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again
And I can't see you man, you can mainly save yourself
and I can't say you man, you only save yourself
just like I, can only save myself
Just like I, can only save myself.
The song's lyrics reflect on the experience of being away from someone you love while they are in a foreign city, in this case, Paris. The singer is unable to stop thinking about the person they are missing, with the lyrics "And I can't seem to get you off my mind" being repeated throughout the song. The idea of Paris being the most romantic city in the world adds to the feeling of longing and adds to the overall tone of the song. The line, "If I could Paris sight," may refer to the singer's desire to see Paris with their loved one, imagining what it would be like to experience the romanticism of the city together.
The phrase "I think I'm in trouble again, trouble again" adds a sense of vulnerability to the song, suggesting that the singer is worried about the strength of their relationship and the distance between them. The repetition of this line builds up the tension in the song, accompanied by the repetitive use of "If I could Paris sight," which may suggest that the singer feels like they are missing out on something important.
Overall, Sallie Ford's "Paris" is a deeply emotional song that explores themes of love and longing. The use of Paris as a symbol of romance and the repetition of certain phrases and ideas contribute to a sense of melancholy that underscores the song's themes.

I really like these guys and they have tons of potential, but it seems that over the past couple years they haven't done anything to advance to a higher level. Really hoping this fun yet amaturish sound isn't all they're capable of.
