Trevor Dering
Love and Longing in the Early Hours
Trevor Dering's song "XXX In The Morning" delves into the complexities of a romantic relationship, capturing the raw emotions that surface in the early hours of the morning. The song opens with a scene at six in the morning, where the protagonist receives a call from a lover who is feeling lonely. This sets the stage for a conversation filled with longing and a desire for connection. The repeated plea, "Don't you let go babe," underscores a sense of desperation and a fear of losing the emotional bond they share.
The lyrics reveal a mutual desire to hold on to the relationship, with both parties expressing their wish to love each other. However, there's an underlying tension as the protagonist admits to not wanting to feel the same way they used to. This suggests a shift in their emotional state, possibly due to past experiences or a change in their feelings.

The song also touches on the physical aspect of their relationship, with references to "sex in the morning." This adds another layer to the narrative, highlighting the intimacy they share but also the confusion and mixed emotions that come with it. The closing lines, "Let me tear you down, baby," suggest a desire to break down emotional barriers, yet there's an ambiguity that leaves the listener pondering the true nature of their connection. Trevor Dering's soulful delivery and the evocative lyrics make "XXX In The Morning" a poignant exploration of love, longing, and the complexities of human relationships.
