Somewhere Else

Album: Somewhere Else (2014)

Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Lydia Loveless' third album was written while she was at SXSW. The singer recalled to American Songwriter magazine: "It sort of came to me when I was half asleep and I knew I wanted to call the album that, but I knew the song had to be really good. When we finally got into the studio with it I was amazed with how we handled it–I think it sounds really dreamy, especially the harmonies. I'm very proud of it."
  • The song describes a constant wanderlust: "I just have a lot of discontent and restlessness," Loveless told Radio.com. "So it's mostly about that."
