about

Halloween 2010 Release

lyrics

I hear you creeping, nails on the windows
Tapping
A chorus of demons, slide down the mirror
Scratching

First time I met you, you had no horns
But your head was spinning around

Nipping at my heels since I've been born
Like a dog on a merry-go-round

I know you never look quite the same
Lay your venom and stake your claim
I feel your thunderclouds coming for me now

You tiptoe behind me, cocktail of nightshade
Dancing
And smile ear-to-ear with your tail wrapped around me
Laughing

Last time you told me you'd break my fall
Then you turned as cold as a stone

How many times would I sell my soul
If it just meant you'd leave me alone

I know you never look quite the same
A used up fable your claim to fame
I hear your thunderclouds rolling at me now

<Solo>

It's not enough of a crying shame
You play St. Peter at break of day
Sunday whispers an ancient game
I know your coming for me some way
Until that day I'll be always on the run

about

The Hush Now Boston, Massachusetts

Boston indie-pop quintet The Hush Now have made an impression on music critics and fans by wedding the “lush sugar-spun melodies of shoegaze’s dreamy heyday” to “the hooky muscle of bands like Guided by Voices and Built To Spill” as one critic put it.
