Stream: Santa Barbara - The Millennial Club

The Millennial Club are a southern-Californian based dream pop outfit who aim to blend 80s pop with 90s R&B to create a romance-inspired sound that feels inherently Californian.

Santa Barbara is The Millennial Club’s first single of 2018 and it is the aural equivalent of a swoon: a sharp exhale of breath when it feels like your heart can’t keep stay inside any more and all your insides might come out.

The track captures the feel of California coastline drives with a close friend - the melodies all so soft and the vocals breathless and pouring out in quick succession. Santa Barbara has the feeling of what might happen when someone has finally uncorked the bottle on how they feel. Able to articulate their feelings for someone for the first time, all these bottled up emotions are finally able to seek the oxygen they have craved for so long.

The Millennial Club - Santa Barbara [verse 1] seems strange to write a song about someone looking in the rearview, dreaming about the lone sun I’m not really thinking about the waves or about the next one not really about that, you didn’t ever like that and the way you feel to me is all the truth now I’m not really sure how I love you and that’s wow I’m learning so much about love [verse 2] of course I’ll make the drive on up to see you 2 hours is nothing, 2K was a bit too much for my heart to handle threw me down left me so cold and I could never see it in my mind that my God is always with me and he’s got me in line but thinking that i gotta know the future is the part that keeps me up late at night [chorus] it keeps me up late night night, all night it keeps me up late night [verse 3] cuz i got used to writing about nothing then you came around and girl you finally gave me something and I don’t wanna be a cliche, but kissing you babe I’m on my knees and praying you’re gonna stay was seven years but God knew I could handle it, the getting and forgetting who I was was just a part of it but wow I like you [bridge] and I don’t wanna tell u that I know what you’re going through cuz I probably don’t but I gotta be honest with you baby cuz I bet your friends probably won’t and I could never see it in my mind that my God is always with me and he’s got me in line but thinking that I gotta know the future is the part that keeps me up late at night [chorus] night, night it keeps me up late night night, all night it keeps me up late night it keeps me up late night night, all night keeps me up late at, keeps me up late at
