lyrics

The Flapper

Closer little darling
Feel me coming near
Our time has come

You know that I’ve been waiting
And planning now for years
I have your name in blood

You sacrificed your soul
Now death is at your door
You really should have known
All those years spent training

…was fame all that you imagined

The carnival is waning
And the lights are growing dim
The masquerade is over

You sacrificed your soul
Now death is at your door
You really should have known
All those years spent training

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.
