FAWM: "Mailman In The Rearview"

Mailman In The Rearview

Liner Notes

@amelea:

I was riding in the car with my mom, and she pointed out the mail truck was behind us - and like, it was going *fast* as if it was trying to track us down.

I then of course started writing this song...

And then watched the movie "You've Got Mail" haha

Happy Valentine's Day!!! :)

Lyrics

Mailman in the rearview
You forgot your valentine
Mailman at your shadow
You forgot your flowers

The tag’s anonymous
And no one’s watching us
So, take a thing or two
The label just says you

Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Dooooo what want
With the letters
With the words
With the alphabet
It’s ‘U,’ I've heard

In the mailbox
On the ground
In my hand
Read the words aloud
Mailbox
On the ground
In my head
Say the words aloud

The paper’s just as good
As a mouth, for words
Lipstick stain on the back
I’ll kiss paper

Mailman in the rearview
You forgot your valentine
Mailman at your shadow
You forgot your flowers

The tag’s anonymous
And no one’s watching us
So, take a thing or two
The label just says you

Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Doooooooo
What you choose
As long as it’s youuuuuuuu

In the mailbox
On the ground
In my hand
Read the words aloud
Mailbox
On the ground
In my head
Say the words aloud

The paper’s just as good
As a mouth, for words
Lipstick stain on the back
I’ll kiss paper

Mailman in the rearview
You forgot your valentine
Mailman at your shadow
You forgot your flowers

The tag’s anonymous
And no one’s watching us
So, take a thing or two
The label just says you

Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuu
Doooooooo
What you choose
As long as it’s youuuuuuuu

I really like all the background effects in here. They add a lot of “spice” to the mix.

Love the mash up of perfect pop and manic.
And by perfect pop, I mean perfect 80s pop.
Wonderful breathy vocals.
Totally brilliant.

Oh man the synths in this absolutely rock. Your vocals are awesome too really enjoy your voice! The lyrics are clever catchy and image invoking! I gotta catch up on some more songs cause this one rocks!

I love this. If this came up on Spotify, I'd assume it was a hit tune I somehow missed from the late 80's.

The ping ponging opening synth line sounds fantastic in my headphones. Digging the youuuuuu bg vox. The chorus is just such a vibe! Oh wow this went full New Order at the end with the drums and that gorgeous synth line. This kicked ass ya'll
