about

Amaretto is a love song (or at least our attempt at one…). Guitar tones reminiscent of their song Sleep, this song speaks of a modern romance. The lyrics focus on what it means to be in love: the ebb and flow of emotion, the quiet moments in the morning over tea, the disquiet that can rise in the rocky moments, and the euphoria of knowing your partner so completely. To quote our recording engineer (and producer on this project), Colin Bryson: a bold choice is made to steer this beautiful-sounding creation off the rails as loud guitars and drums build momentum, finally pushing the tempo significantly faster, only to drop us back into a love-like calm once more. The fast section of this song is about as close as we get to The Strokes (because of the universal law that an NYC rock band must at some point play a song that sounds like The Strokes).

lyrics

And you’re talking in your sleep
You sound so lonely
At war with all your anxieties
You and what army?
Your amaretto eyes
They dart and swell
Leave me mesmerized
I know I don’t stand a chance
My love grows
So it goes

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to…

Oh my love, you have the strangest dreams
Tea in the mornings
My love, you say the strangest things
This isn’t working
Coming alive when I say your name
Pull you in tight, now we’re dancing
Sounds blasé when I say but it’s true
I love you

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to
If you want to

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to
If you want to
If you want to
