So I decided I wanted to try and write a song that’s kind of like a 90s radio R&B slow jam. So I listened to a few songs I loved in the 90s and early 2000s to kind of get inspired. This song is what came out. I used autotune on the “yeah yeahs” because I felt like it helped the slow jam vibe.
lyrics
The universe gave me a sign
I love the days when I can read her mind
And turn her on with just a touch
My fingertips are made of golden love
I wanna lay you down and sex you to the moon
You are a bowl of soup have a silver spoon
I don’t need manners when I slurp you up
Girls with glasses always get me buzzed
We took a trip out to Versailles
But on the plane you thought that we might die
tu es en sécurité avec moi
(You’re safe with me)
We found a room inside the royal opera
I’m gonna lay you down
and sex you to the moon
You are Crème brûlée I have a silver spoon
Don’t need manners when I slurp you up
Girls with glasses always get me buzzed
Hey Cutie, what time you coming over?
Yeah we can go anywhere you want but then I’m gonna sex you to the moon.
Alright I’ll see you soon.
And turn you on with just a touch
My fingertips are made of golden love

Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
