LYRICS:

Lejonman och de kollar på dig
Blivit van att de kollar på dig
Hela stan har fått smaka på dig
Riktigt kap, alla makar på sig

För jag vet att du dör för mig
Du vet att jag dör för dig
Jag vet att du dör för mig
Du vet att jag dör för dig
Jag vet att du dör för mig, dör för mig
Du vet att jag dör för dig
Jag vet att du dör för mig, dör för mig
Du vet att jag dör för dig

Så come on

Det är ingen av oss som vågar fucka det här
Vi har all night vibe men det stannar där
Så lost i det, drop mitt beat
Glömt bort tiden, slut på vin
Jag säger sjung för mig baby
Men du bara play it safe lately
Jag är för tung för dig maybe
Men de spelar sina games 
Och jag måste stay real

Dör för dig

What a year it was for Spunsugar. Among the most promising acts to emerge from Scandanavia in 2020, after a raft of glorous early singles drew plaudits from all quarters of the English press the Malmo-based trio released debut LP Drive-Through Chapel, which more or less lit up the boards in their native Sweden. Kicking off what will be a even bigger year for the gothgaze dreamers, January sees the release of their new single ‘You Never Turn Around’.


As Oscar Wilde once put it “There is no romance without tragedy” An uncharacteristically poptastic offering from the Swedes, ‘(You Never) Turn Around’ is synthwave melodrama about the great tragedy of lukewarm indifference. Like Alvvays covering Gary Newman, and ever so macabre – this is Spunsugar remember – it's the trio at their most unashamedly flamboyant. Sad never sounded so spectacular. 

"A little less steel, a little more silk: that was the mantra when "(You Never) Turn Around" was recorded. It’s the final song in a trilogy about being in a relationship with a person who’s emotionally unavailable ("Time Enough at Last" and "Dial Up Tone” from the debut album are the first and second parts). 

The lyrics are inspired by a hazy memory of a film. In the film the theory goes that when they say goodbye but turn to look at you one last time, you know it’s love.    
Make no mistake, this is a true Spunsugar song, so you’re guaranteed a meaty rock song. But this single is pop: dreamier than previous releases and crisper in its construction, with a compelling intro, groovier tempo and the sort of singalong feel that your granny might appreciate. Spunsugar might be accused of having sold our souls, but that don't bother us. We never had one to begin with." Spunsugar
