Love storythe shes gone

The shes gone is a rock band that lyrically colors and expresses various facets of everyday life.

Their song “Love Story” was the lead track on 2017’s “town” and was also included on the 2019 mini-album “DAYS,” their first nationwide release.

At first glance, the lyrics—set against a characteristically gentle, shimmering ensemble—might seem like a story leading up to a breakup, but I can’t help feeling they’re actually packed with “hints for staying in love,” which makes them strangely relatable.

When you’re in a relationship, there are plenty of moments when you miss each other over little things and wonder, “How did it end up like this?” This song feels like it stays close to that vague anxiety and helps open up a future for the two of you—one that deepens your mutual affection.
