My older sister used to look up Emo Blingees on the internet. That's basically what this song is about.
lyrics
(Bright side of the dark side, bright side of the dark side…)
(Bright side of the dark side, bright side of the dark side!)
(Life gets so exciting)
(And much more eventful)
(With friends like Ruby Gloom)
(’Cause that’s when her story began)
A thick bright CRT, with scanlines on the screen,
a world unknown, it’s to explore; escape to fantasy.
Dollsites and spinning images, a city in the sky,
it’s already far gone, at a loss for what you’ve seen…
My shirts are ruby red, it’s my hallmark on the earth.
so douse my hair in gasoline!
and that’s when my story began.
They were scared of me at school, I never understood
But I don’t wanna change: I don’t like being good!
Even so, it’s still impossible, and that’s what I deserve:
Stay paler than a ghost, I accept and I observe…
A whole new land of confidence has opened up my mind,
so douse my hair in gasoline!
and that’s when my story began.
I don’t think that anyone was asking your opinion.
Wash the gasoline out of your hair and listen closely.
I thought I left the woods, at least for good this time,
but now our souls have grown, they’re coming after mine.
I know it sounds impossible, but we have got to change,
I can’t live like a ghost, I’ll run back and re-arrange!
Discovering the joys of how it could’ve been…
I washed my hair of gasoline!
and that’s when my story got better!
My thick bright CRT is laying next to me.
My nights are very cold, at least it’s not the street…
I miss my friends at confidence, I miss my time at school…
BUT HONESTLY IT’S BETTER: I’M RED, LIKE RUBY GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
’Cause that’s when my story quite ended…
(Life got so exciting)
(And much more eventful)
(With friends like Ruby Gloom)
(’Cause that’s when her story quite ended!)
And now we think you oughta,
well now you really gotta!
See the b-b-bright side of the dark side!
(Ruby Gloom, Ruby Gloom, Ruby Gloom, Ruby Gloom…)
but just when Ruby Gloom had realized
she was never meant to leave the city she loved so dearly,
an intrusive thought came to her,
as if maladaptively daydreaming.
She began walking back to her beloved woods,
looking for by-gone relics.
Intensely touching yet somewhat relaxing. Haley is probably the most-bestest guitar lady in the universe, by the way. Just listen to "The Bug Collector". Sabaudia
Normally I find electronic music like this obnoxious. This album is no exception, but there are some gems in there. Just listen to "Wait" and "Outro" and you'll know what I mean. Sabaudia
Ditch Effort (AKA "Anry Guiltar") is my favoritest music man. This album of his is cool, but check out his YouTube channel too. Just listen to "Brave New World". Sabaudia
The proceeds of this extensive compilation of punk and rock go towards the healthcare costs of beloved musician Dan Wild-Beesley. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2017
Montreal band Gulfer deliver one of the most mature, dynamic emo albums of recent memory, while honoring the giddy energy of past LPs. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 4, 2020
