Morgan Saint Setlist

Apology to Blacktop Queen, who started the show. We were on time, but had issues getting permission to bring in a camera into the venue. We hope to catch Blacktop Queen at another time.
Next up was New York singer/songwriter Morgan Saint, showing up in a T-Shirt three times her size. She is joined on stage with a keyboard player and a drummer (introduced as Dan). The 7th Street Entry show was special, because it was the last date on her tour. Although she said she love meeting new friends and performing, admittedly she said, “I’m excited to be back in my own bed.”
Morgan Saint’s set is full of very personal and heart felt song, as an example “Glass House” was introduced as, “this is my most personal song I’ve ever written.” The song is about being broken, and asking someone to understand. You get a sense that the person does not respond to the protagonist, even though the song is demanding love (“F**king love me now, love me now, love me now”).
“Just Friends” is perhaps Morgan Saint’s biggest hit song of the night. The fans in front were all too happy to sing along (and finishing her song!) If anything, Saint’s songs touch something in people, especially wanting someone, needing someone, but ultimately being rejected by that person.
The most memorable part of her set near the end of the closing song, “New Regime”, the stage was invaded by lovelytheband’s singer Mitchy Collins. He brought drinks for everyone and helped sing the final stanza to the last song. If there was a rare happiness in Morgan Saint’s life, it’s probably this moment.
Morgan Saint’s sophomore album Alien is out now on Epic Records.
One of the hottest American indie pop band has to be Los Angeles’ lovelytheband (featuring vocalist Mitchy Collins, guitarist Jordan Greenwald, and drummer Sam Price). The band is known for their signature song, “Broken”, which closed out their set.
“Broken” which was a top hit for the band, and in fact, it was recently announced that the single is now certified gold by the RIAA. It’s easy to see why, the song has a very bouncy beat, but lyrically is very complicated and emotional. It’s about not belonging, but meeting another person “just as broken like me.”
Based on hearing Mitchy Collins talk, he is really happy about the turn out to many of their headlining shows. This was the last U.S. show and the band was excited to head over to the U.K., where they will be the support act for 5 Seconds of Summer.
