Faith in Foxholes - “Just Gimme One More” (from Zander & the Blue Things)

Just Gimme One More

In “Just Gimme One More,” Faith in Foxholes delivers a hauntingly intimate cry for spiritual reckoning. This track anchors the raw emotional core of the upcoming album ''Zander & the Blue Things.'' The project, masterminded by Lucas Floyd—an unassuming music department underdog from the University of New Mexico—proves that heart, not high grades, fuels great artistry. Lucas, now armed with a Liberal Arts degree and a worn-out set of guitar strings, brings a sincerity to his work that cuts through the noise of overproduced indie rock. His music wants to be heard and needs to be felt.

The song opens delicately, almost cautiously, with a skeletal guitar riff that feels like it’s tiptoeing through emotional wreckage. It's a quiet invocation before the storm of feeling to come. As the percussion enters, steady and grounding like a heartbeat, the song begins to breathe. The production, though minimalist, creates an immense space, room enough for the lyrics to echo and reverberate with meaning. Floyd’s voice, fragile but deliberate, carries a heavy weight, sounding less like a performance and more like a confession scrawled in the margins of a prayer book.

Lyrically, “Just Gimme One More” is a lament from the trenches of grief. Floyd reaches deep into the metaphor of the “foxhole”—that symbolic, desperate place where faith is often summoned not out of devotion, but survival. The narrator pleads for one more sign, one more chance, one more breath—each “one more” laden with the ache of unfinished goodbyes and unanswered prayers. There’s a spiritual undercurrent, but not one of easy redemption; this is a dialogue with faith forged under fire, where solace comes not in resolution but in surrender.

What elevates this track beyond the typical sorrowful ballad is its dynamic build. Faith in Foxholes masterfully layers the instrumentation to mirror the narrator’s inner climb from despair to a tentative hope. A cello creeps in like a shadow, distant harmonies rise behind the chorus, and the drums shift from heartbeat to marching rhythm, suggesting a reluctant movement forward. It’s a composition that grows with the listener’s emotion—introspective, then cathartic, then quietly resolute.

Faith in Foxholes is not here to dazzle with studio tricks or hollow anthems. Lucas Floyd has crafted something far more enduring—a song that listens back. “Just Gimme One More” is a spiritual exhale from someone clawing through grief and using music as a shield and compass. As the first glimpse into Zander & the Blue Things, this single promises an album rich in unvarnished emotion and lyrical depth. With this release, Floyd asks for one more and earns it.
