Mailman In The Rearview

by @amelea · @thenucleus

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'm obsessed with the background vocals on "you"

What can one even say. Better than a lottery ticket. A dreampoppy magic carpet ride through the 80's to the 90's to the 2Ks. Replete with Amelea's own unique writing and brave new vocal stylings all wrapped up in a shiny package left for any listener to find in their mailbox. Nuke you outdid yourself. This one really gives to the listener. Really shares the magical synergy of you two.

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
