Boy, You're From A Rom-Com

Liner Notes

#alternativerock #indiepop #punkpop #romantic

@amelea: All I wanted to do was relax and read a romcom book. But no, @thenucleus said I needed to come make a song. So, I wrote one about what I'd rather be doing.

Then, funny enough, a few days later, when I was reading a different romcom book (called The Do-Over) he told me he needed me to redo the vocals on it........... so this is my Do-Over!

Lyrics

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon Hope it’s 3D you want

Distorted color My mind’s missing My heartbeats faster My gut just grins

Boy you're from a romcom You've been written all on Boombox held up arm strong Kiss me high if you want

Distorted color My mind’s missing My heartbeats faster My gut just grins You’re coming closer I sit back and Distorted color The pages flip

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon He comes out when he wants

Boy you're from a rom-com You’ve been written all on Highlight every word on Lipstick in the margins

Big enough an ear To hear and hear and hear You're hot to the touch Microwaved enough Your eyes peeking in To see and see and see Your touch collides To heat and heat and heat

Boy you're from a rom-com You’ve been written all on Highlight every word on Lipstick in the margins

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon Hope it’s 3D you want

Hope it’s 3D you want Hope it’s 3D you want Hope it’s 3D you want Boy I’m 3D And you’re on TV You wanna come here please? Just take a step out No one will know but You’re missing from the script When they call the lights The action The action’s backstage with me

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com I’ve been watching so long Sit back in the futon Hope it’s 3D you want

Hope it’s 3D you want Hope it’s 3D you want Hope it’s 3D you want Boy I’m 3D And you’re on TV

Boy you’re from a rom-com

The drum pattern is so restless it makes the whole song manic, which suits the song. This song has so much tension that towards the end it was hard to not start fidgeting. What a song!

@ambroise 2025

It sound like the remake of The Purple Rose of Cairo by John Waters would ! Love the colors and the demented script !

I love Romcom books!!!! Now if you can tell me what the hell a romcom book is...... Anyhow, this is an awesome song. Great concept! It's got a 90s grunge flavor only It's a billion times better than grunge (no offense if you guys like grunge music haha).

Mr nucleus that drum pattern is downright diabolical. I love it! Got me movin and groovin. Great write from Amelie and the vocal performance kicks butt. Love the "Boy I'm 3D and you're on TV" line. Speaking of diabolical, that breakdown at 2:30 with the bass and whisper vocals is so sick!
