In a Tedx Mile High lecture, Patterson notes this song was written as a response to “Caroline, no” by the Beach Boys.
The days get longer
The earth's spinning 'round
Your heart in your mouth, dear
You're gone but you never leave
And no one knows why
But me
Well I found a new love
He's wild, he's not mine
And everything must die
You're gone until I fall asleep
And no one knows why
But me
Well you know it breaks me heart too
But we're as good as dead if we don't move
But it breaks my heart, turns me blue
Time has stepped in between me and you
I cut off my long hair
Turned the glow inside
All that lives must die
You're crying for what you can't keep
And no one knows why but me
The Glow was written by Esmé Patterson.
