GLENNA JANE RELEASES LONG-DISTANCE ROMANCE LAMENT “TWO YEARS”

Meet Glenna Jane and tune into her new single “Two Years”

Glenna Jane has released “Two Years,” the second single from her upcoming EP Kid. What begins as a snapshot of long-distance yearning quickly deepens into a study of memory, time, and how we romanticize what once was, especially when it never fully became. 

Written after reconnecting with someone from her past, “Two Years” is rooted in the emotional weight of a relationship that blurred the line between timing and truth. “I thought he was my right person, wrong time,” Glenna Jane says. “But time reconstructed my memories of what we were. I was mourning this romanticized version of a past love, a past life, and a past self, while realizing I didn’t know then what I know now.” 

The track begins with a candid confession, “I liked you better when we were states apart.” From there, Glenna Jane pieces together fragments of her early twenties, flipping through records, a polaroid in the parking lot, drawing hearts in window fog. “Those moments were from when I was 20,” she shares. “But the perspective is from when I was 22 and 24. That fling turned into a four-year situationship.” 

The song’s refrain, “Driving in Silver Lake, Brooklyn’s not much of a change” captures the feeling of emotional inertia, even when everything else seems to shift. “It felt like kismet that the relationship restarted in Williamsburg after ending in Silver Lake,” Glenna Jane says. “But we weren’t the same people anymore. It didn’t matter where we recreated the past. Time had already changed us.” 

Co-produced by Glenna Jane and Ben Coleman, and mixed by Daniel Chae, “Two Years” floats with gentle production and aching clarity. The line “It’s not sweet as sugar, four years is too much time” hits with the honesty of hindsight, reframing what once felt tender as something unsustainable. 

As part of her Kid era, “Two Years” refuses to only reminisce but also progress. “This was an exercise in honoring the past, but choosing to move forward,” she says. In doing so, Glenna Jane closes an unresolved chapter and flips the page to what awaits her next.
