"This song is about growing up in the San Fernando Valley where we experienced many of our pivotal moments. (First loves, heartbreak, death, etc...) Things that you carry with you no matter where you go. You can feel stuck in your hometown and decide to leave just to find out you miss it. The emotion and feeling of the song is perfectly laid out in the chorus lyrics; they sound like 'goodbye,' but truly mean, 'I'll be around.'"
"Lyrically this song is about reflecting on your own shortcomings within a relationship. It's about not choosing love. When we're young and our main example of love is inextricably linked to pain, it can result in us subconsciously (or consciously) sabotaging our adult relationships. Sometimes the fear is not that it won't work out, but that somehow it will. I love the choice we made to withhold chorus lyrics until the last round."
Bedelia is a new trio featuring Marisa Shirar of Fleshwater and MIRSY, Miles Morris of Bad Suns, and Dakota Floeter, guitarist for Ethel Cain. The group released the debut single "Tightrope" and followed with "Valley Sadness." "Valley Sadness" reflects on growing up in the San Fernando Valley, carrying pivotal moments such as first loves, heartbreak, and death, and feeling ambivalent about leaving home. "Tightrope" examines personal shortcomings in relationships, a tendency to sabotage love when early examples of love are linked to pain, and uses withheld chorus lyrics to build tension while Dakota Floeter's guitar tone elevates the tracks.
