Long Distance Love

Roomie O's song "Long Distance Love" poignantly captures the emotional rollercoaster of being in a long-distance relationship. The lyrics express a deep yearning and frustration that comes from being physically separated from a loved one. The opening lines, "No I can't hold you darlin' / And I can't stroke your hair," immediately set the tone of longing and absence. The singer's awareness that their partner's eyes are sparkling somewhere else, coupled with the wish that they were together, underscores the pain of separation.

The repetition of the lines "Days turn into weeks turn into months" emphasizes the relentless passage of time and the growing distance between the couple. This repetition not only highlights the duration of their separation but also the emotional toll it takes. The singer's declaration, "Hey, I fucking love ya / My long distance love," serves as a powerful reminder of their unwavering affection despite the physical distance. This raw and honest expression of love is a testament to the strength of their bond.

The song also touches on the fear of fading connection, with the line "And it feels like we're fading / Everyday we're apart." However, there's a glimmer of hope and anticipation in the promise that reuniting will "kickstart my heart." The closing lines, "I just wanna be somewhere beside ya / I don't even care where we are," encapsulate the essence of the song: the desire to be together, no matter the place. Roomie O's heartfelt lyrics and emotive delivery make "Long Distance Love" a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the challenges and triumphs of loving from afar.
