    Soul Asylum vocalist and guitarist Dave Pirner, says that making their twelfth studio full-length, Hurry Up And Wait, was a completely seamless, enjoyable, and productive experience. The album was co-produced with John Fields—and recorded at Minneapolis’ Nicollet Studios, the same place where the celebrated rock band recorded seminal early albums released on Twin/Tone Records—the album reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach.

    Lyrically, songs dive into topics such as grappling with emotional and geographic disconnection, navigating romantic ebbs and flows, and the power of embracing optimism despite it all. Sonically, Hurry Up And Wait features thrashing songs indebted to punk (“Hopped Up Feelin’”) and classic rock (“Got It Pretty Good”), folk-influenced pop-rock (“Silly Things”), and gorgeous jangle-pop (lead single “If I Told You.”)

lyrics

If I asked for forgiveness,
Does it mean that I did it?
Is it really that bad; am I that hard to live with?

If I told you I loved you,
Would you hold it against me?

I’ve seen every shade of gray
I can’t wait another day
For summer to come

I miss the sun
It’s something that I try to overcome

If I walked to the corner,
Would you put up a red light?
Would you hold it against me, if it didn’t turn out right?

Please don’t make me say it
I would never regret it
If I told you I loved you, would you let me forget it?

I’ve seen every shade of gray
The clouds just seem to come my way
Come rain or come shine

I miss the sun
Everyday is someday will come
Don’t you know that I miss the sun?
Lie and wait for summer to come

I know that you’re busy
Don’t hold it against me
If I told you I loved you, would you hold it against me?

I miss the sun
Everyday is someday will come
Don’t you know that I miss the sun?
I miss my son

If I told you I loved you,
Would you hold it against me?
