Last night I decided I would get around to checking out Hellogoodbye’s latest album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!. Their previous stuff I had liked, but it had not grown on me that much over time. So far, their new stuff is sounding pretty neat. Here’s a current favourite, Stuck To You, for your listening pleasure (hit “Read More” for the lyrics). The chorus is killer.

While you are enjoying that, have a gander at this web comic my friend told me about awhile back that I had never bothered to check out until today. It’s called Ever After and even though I can’t really say what it’s about exactly (I’ve only just finished the first pages) I can vouch for its quality. So far, it’s been a solid sequence of a little girl killing a bunch of goons (in a cool, anime kinda style, not a creepy, disturbing kinda way…) in a twisted fairy tale land. Just go check it out alright?!
Holding my breath for a whole month.
If I held your breath, at least we would touch.
Keeping from you, keeps me from sleep.
It’s just this bad beat that I just can keep.
Oh girl, it’s true,
I can never be away from you.
It’s like you gloss your lips with glue.
Oh we kiss and I am stuck to you.
My heart’s on the floor, my feet feel like lead.
I’d quit the tour, but I’m already dead.
Our only connection is synthetically.
We show our affection electronically.
We lock lips and throw the key out,
Till it slips that I must leave town.
Our love reaches across oceans
To your beaches, lonely notions.
Oh girl, it’s true,
I can never be away from you.
It’s like you gloss your lips with glue.
Oh we kiss and I am stuck to you.
- Hellogoodbye, Stuck To You
