Lovespirals return with their third single of 2024, “Used To Be,” a captivating new track that intertwines 90s-inspired dream pop and electronica with unexpected hints of soulfulness. Evoking the early Love Spirals Downwards era, band leader, Ryan Lum, combines atmospheric textures, acoustic strums, and a goth-tinged guitar hook, building to an epic solo that closes the song with emotive resonance. Anji’s expressive blend of earthy and ethereal vocals, layered with harmonies, brings the song’s emotional depth to life. The result is an immersive, haunting, and reflective soundscape, pairing raw honesty with lush instrumentation.

“Used To Be” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Pandora, Juno Music, and TIDAL now and will soon be available on Apple and more digital music services.

“Used To Be” Lyrics (by Anji Bee (BMI)

No one
No one

Life returned to how it used to be
Days filled with nothing and nobody 
Put my dreams upon the shelf
Return to my lonely self 
No one to rely upon but me
No one

Sit in silence waiting for a sign
In a prison of my own design
Close the curtains and the blind
Leave the whole damned world behind
No one to rely upon but me
No one

No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)


When the shadows start to fall
I retreat behind my wall

Build it higher every day
Just to keep the world at bay

No one to rely upon but me
No one

As the day fades into night
Hope is just a distant light

Will I ever find the key
That will finally set me free

No one to rely upon but me
No one

No one
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)

But me, no one
But me, no one

No one

Used to be

Life returned to how it used to be
