In 2008, Kevin Morby and Cassie Ramone shared a small apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn for a few months and wrote some songs. After meeting again in a house party, the two decided to start a band. The idea was to recapture the early, stress-free days of playing music before they were both in groups that had gained some success and created accompanying pressures. Despite the intention, nothing much came of the idea until the next winter when both bands again had a break. Justin Sullivan, who had played with Ramone in Bossy, began practicing with them on drums, and The Babies debuted as a three-piece in March 2009 at Dead Herring, their friends’ loft in Brooklyn. They played a few times before asking Nathanial Stark, formerly of Bent Outta Shape, to join on bass, and the full lineup’s first shows were in that summer.
The band released self-made tapes and singles for the small Wild World and Make a Mess labels before releasing their self-titled debut album for Shrimper in February 2011.They toured for much of the year, eventually replacing Stark with new bassist, Brian Schleyer.In early 2012, they left their Brooklyn home to record their second album in Los Angeles. Our House on the Hill was released on Woodsist late in the year.
In 2014, Cassie Ramone stated that the band is going to be "largely inactive" due to her focus on her own, as well as Morby's, solo careers.
There is another band with the same name:
2) THE BABIES (named after 1977 punk classic song: ''Boston Babies'' - SLAUGHTER & THE DOGS) are garage punk'n'roll trio from Zagreb/Vinkovci, Croatia. They're playing furious screamin' punk'n'roll in style like THE STOOGES, THE DEAD BOYS, THE SAINTS...
Known as energetic and wild live performers, in this moment one of the most perspective bands in their country, honestly addored by local rock-press and audience. Their debut CD album "The Babies" (Dancing Bear Records, 2003) is finally out ! In this moment, the band is on their promotional tour...
Also shared stage with bands like: NEW BOMB TURKS, NASHVILLE PUSSY, THE CYNICS, ZEKE, THE COSMIC PSYCHOS, THE DIRTYS, SPEEDBALL BABY, WANDA CHROME AND THE LEATHER PHARAOHS, STREET WALKIN' CHEETAS, THE BAMBI MOLESTERS and many many others...
Get Lost
The Babies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna get lost
Lost in the sound
Away from the crowd
Lost in you
Oh lost in you
And baby I'm low
I know that you know
I'm down to the floor
I wanna get high with you
Oh high with you
Up the stairs to your room
Oh high with you
Why are you walking so slow?
Why do you always walk so slow?
I gotta go
Somewhere soon
And I hope
I'll be going there with you
Loving you is all I know how to do
Sleeping in a dream's the only place I wanna be
The lyrics of "Get Lost" express a desire to escape from reality and get lost in the moment. The repetition of the phrase "I wanna get lost" emphasizes this yearning for a temporary release from the stresses of life. The singer is seeking sanctuary in the sound, away from the crowd, and eventually, in the company of the person they love. The chorus is indicative of the singer's infatuation with their lover, to the point of being desperate to lose themselves in them, and to experience elevated states together, whether through drugs or intimacy. The verse implies that the singer is at a low point in their life, but their lover provides comfort and an escape. The pace of the song coupled with its dream-like lyrics create an atmosphere of longing and longing rather than actual escape, and the singer seems to be facing many difficulties that they are running away from. The song is a slow and hazy anthem that echoes the tumultuous emotions of the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
I wanna get lost
I desire to escape, to disappear without a trace
Lost in the sound
To immerse oneself in the endlessly enchanting melodic vibrations
Away from the crowd
To step far away from the fickle, the shallow, and the unkind
Lost in you
To gain total absorption with another person so as to forget oneself entirely
Oh lost in you
That individual is the only anchor in a world of chaos
And baby I'm low
Sinking in a mire, feeling powerless and unimportant
I know that you know
Fully cognizant of the fact that the other person recognizes these negative feelings
I'm down to the floor
Completely defeated, lacking even the strength to stand
I wanna get high with you
Escaping the mundane with another person, sharing a transformative experience
Oh high with you
That individual is the only person that can share in this escape
Up the stairs to your room
Elevating the intimacy between individuals to the maximum possible level
Why do you always walk so slow?
Expressing impatience, it's difficult to contain one's impatience in love
I gotta go
Experiencing desperation, that feeling of being trapped in a desperate situation
Somewhere soon
Fleeing to an area where one can breathe deeply
And I hope
Expressing the hope that others will understand one's inner feelings
I'll be going there with you
Traveling together, that's the way it's always been
Loving you is all I know how to do
Engaged in the intense, all-consuming act of love
Sleeping in a dream's the only place I wanna be
The realities of the outside world are too harsh, it's better to escape into one's dreams
