"They call their original music indie/rock/powerpop, but opera rock might be a better description. This three piece orchestra of Joel DeGenova on guitar, Moe Angelo on bass and Matt Holko on skins provide the background for Kelly McCracken’s powerful arias; stories in song."

Red Wine
The Kellys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then the sun goes down
Can you give me that kinda love that won't give up?
Never let me down
I discovered
True love exists
It's common sense
(In) love, (in) love, (in) love
Oh, love brought us together
But love won't wait forever
Let go of whatever's got you thinking never
The storm, yeah, we can weather (ooh)
You got me over here pouring my heart out
Say-say-say-saying whatever (oh)
I shed some tears pulling my cards out (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Playing whatever
I discovered
True love exists
It's common sense
I've got confidence
(In) love, (in) love, (in) love
Oh, love brought us together
But love won't wait forever (it won't wait, no, it won't wait forever)
Let go of whatever's got you thinking never (let go of whatever's, thinking never)
The storm, yeah, we can weather (weather, ooh)

In the song "Red Wine" by The Kellys, the artist talks about the concept of love and whether or not someone has the ability to truly love them for an extended period of time. The chorus repeats the lyrics "Oh, love brought us together, but love won't wait forever. Let go of whatever's got you thinking never". This line suggests that the singer is urging their partner to stop holding back from loving them and to recognize that love is what brought them together in the first place.
The verses of the song are more introspective, with the artist talking about their own feelings towards love. They mention shedding tears and pouring their heart out, which suggests that they have been hurt in the past by someone who could not love them "until the sun comes up". However, the artist concludes that love exists and that they have confidence in their ability to love and find love in return.
Overall, "Red Wine" is a song that revolves around the idea of finding true, lasting love and what it takes to maintain a healthy and loving relationship. The chorus is a reminder that love should not be taken for granted and that both partners need to work to keep it alive.
