Magnolia Lyrics

Alberta Cross Magnolia

[INSTRUMENTAL]You feel like you're wide awake
You can see you're dragging down the morning sun, the morning sun
You believe you hide away
You can see you're burning in your innocence, your innocence
Yeah you gotta give it up
You're laughing at the morning sun
Yeah you gotta give it up, give it up

You're laughing at the morning sun

New York-via-London rockers Alberta Cross are set to release Songs of
Patience, the follow-up to their 2009 debut Broken Side of Time, on July
17th on ATO. Take an exclusive first listen to their new single,
"Magnolia," a steadily soaring jam with the kind of closing
chorus that demands group sing-alongs.
"'Magnolia' is a song about too many late nights, for better or worse,
and the feeling of estrangement they sometimes bring," says lead
singer and guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee. "At the end of the day,
though, I feel like it's more of a positive song than a negative one. It's
pretty colorful and, for some, could be a sort of summer chant about having
a good time. I'd say it's definitely a summer tune."
