FAWM: "Does Your Boyfriend Play Drums?"

Does Your Boyfriend Play Drums?

Liner Notes

#alternativerock #indierock #drums
@amelea :
I was in the parking lot of India Palace, waiting for my food order - when I glanced at my phone and saw I had gotten an email. Subject line: Does your boyfriend play drums?

Started writing this song immediately.

Also, the answer is no.

Lyrics

Does your boyfriend play drums?
Are you on the run?
Are you in the business of playing some songs?
Metaphorically
Hyperbolically
Are you the one that hits play then runs away

You running away
They don't wanna see
You on the stage
You're in the back alley
Playing it on your face
You could be an actress
Selling methamphetamine
To muppets who got canceled
Play it on that channel
The streets aren't clean
Like they used to be
Taking a shower
In your neighbor’s bird bath
Clean

Does your boyfriend play drums?
Are you on the run?
Are you in the business of playing some songs?
Metaphorically
Hyperbolically
Are you the one that hits play then runs away

Does your dad drive a truck
But you're not moving, you're stuck
Your mom’s basement has mildew and your friends are all drunk
Does your best friend sing along
To all of their songs
And move her tongue along to all of his thoughts
Does it ever get stuck
Does her brain ever catch up
Can you touch your toes
Count it on your fingers
Can you say what you think
Or would you rather leave here

Does your boyfriend play drums?
Are you on the run?
Are you in the business of playing some songs?
Metaphorically
Hyperbolically
Are you the one that hits play then runs away

Yeah he plays
He hits play and walks away
Yeah he plays
He hits play and runs away

I love when te bass shoulder the guitars descending riff.
Also this song is a movie trailer. When does it comes out ? Or has it allready run away ?

Awesome! This is a song that has a great metaphor that you’re not quite sure if it means something deeper or if it’s just a simple question.

I'm loving the post punk attitude with the alt rock dressing. I love that reverb drenched rock guitar, the vocal is great. I love those last lines, too. Perfect ending.

Wait, you actually check your emails??? I love that post-punk sounding guitar! It's like bonkers surf riffing.

Sounds brutal in the very best of ways. It is best parts of crazy and unique. That opening riff is great. Amelea delivers the amazingly unique vocals in that absolutely recognizable and unique style.
