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

“Used To Be” Single Out Now
Lovespirals return with “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.

“Not Myself” Single Out Now
Lovespirals’ new single, “Not Myself,” is a nostalgic nod to the band’s early millennium chillout sound.

The perfect soundtrack for late summer moving into early autumn.

“Not Myself” Music Video
Lovespirals’ new single, “Not Myself,” is a nostalgic nod to the band’s early millennium chillout sound with gently soulful vocals and a classic laid-back bluesy guitar solo adding layers of emotion and depth, making “Not Myself” a reflective and soothing experience for fans of introspective electronica. In contrast to the darker and more despairing vibe of “Noumenon,” the duo’s new release invites quiet meditation. The music video, filmed and edited by band lyricist, vocalist, and co-producer, Anji “Bee” Lum, plays right into the song’s vibes with its chill California coastline imagery.
