about

Bust out your good vibes playlist and turn on your loudest Bluetooth speaker…we got a bop for you! And the best part is that it's secretly about being depressed, as all great bops are. Send it to your saddest friend living in New York City! Play it for your dog We're sure your dog will like it. Happy (or sad) listening, Gnomies!

lyrics

How does Manhattan know
Every time I’m feeling low
The sky cracks open her window
And gently then it starts to snow

And the winter’s almost over
As frost turns to clover
And the rain starts coming
Like a distant drumming

Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo
Like...
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo

And how does Central Park
Sensing that my thoughts are dark
Invite me in for an hour or two
To let the sun brighten up my blues

And the days are getting warmer
No more overcoat armor
And just as I bare my skin
The rain comes again like

Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo
Like...
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo

And when I see the sky
through a hazy window pane
On the seventh floor
I just want more

And how does the fire escape
Call my name from blocks away
Come rest your weary brain
Out here in the rain

Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo doodleoo doo doo
Doo doodle oo doodle oo doodleoodleoo doo

We're The Gender Gnomes.

We're your friendly neighborhood Brooklyn-based indie-folk- jazz-pop duo. Separately, we are Rachel, singer of songs and player of flutes, and Pat, player of guitars and basses and mandolins and saxophones and trumpets and...a bunch of stuff. Together, we're songwriters and home-recorders and avid music lovers. We love a good lyric and we're suckers for a jaunty beat. ... more
