Have you ever had a deep platonic connection with someone but the lines start to become blurred? Friendships are incredibly fulfilling when you find people you connect with on such a deep level, but it gets complicated quick if romantic feelings start to develop. It’s hard when it happens time and time again and you have to start putting up walls to protect the relationship that’s already laid out. WE ARE AVA is an Indie Pop Group that released their new single “Not Another Valentine” about losing friends due to misread situations and confusing feelings. WE ARE AVA consists of members Andy, Nicola and Kim who create dreamy synth tracks with vulnerable yet catchy lyrics. “Not Another Valentine” is featured on their newest album “Radix” that was released back in August. This song has layers of complicated emotion wrapped together with lighthearted instrumentation and production.
Due to an emergency situation where WE ARE AVA’s producer fell ill, they had only four days to write and produce “Not Another Valentine” themselves. It is no easy task creating a song that quickly and it’s why it holds such a special place in their heart. When writing, they channeled all the frustration that comes with losing friends due to emerging romantic feelings. Lyrically this song holds a lot of guilt and mourning what could’ve been if lines hadn’t been crossed. “Not again, not another valentine, lost a friend, told you not to cross the line.” After being intimate with someone, it’s almost impossible to reverse the clock and go back to the way things were. You essentially have to accept the loss and move on, “We’ve ruined everything, we’ve built up and I can’t even be mad, wish I could.” WE ARE AVA made the perfect track for those who easily hold guilt over past relationships but search for that carefree feeling.
