about

Honing in on the increasingly popular bedroom pop genre and lifestyle, The Red Skirts takes a melancholic approach to the songwriting process, incorporating elements of Chicano mellow alternative and indie-pop to create an atmosphere of reminiscence that can be felt with every note of reverb-heavy guitar and charming vocal performance.

"Call Me When You Get Home" has a designated narrative reflecting on long drives at night that The Red Skirts experienced as a child. Taking this personal experience and amplifying other themes such as the fear of dating for those who suffered the hardships of today's toxic dating culture, the brilliant myriad of sentimental value that makes itself apparent is rather uncanny.

lyrics

Can I walk you home
I want to hear about your day
I'm sorry if I try too hard
I just wanna hear what you have to say

The longer you're away,
The more I'm insecure
But I refuse to reflect on my life
If you're not in the picture

So call me when you get home
So we can sleep at the same time
So call me when you get home
So we can cry at the same time

And I won't sleep until you do
I won't eat until you do
I won't laugh until you do
And I won't sleep until you do

So call me when you get home
So we can sleep at the same time
So call me when you get home
So we can cry at the same time

And I won't sleep until you do
I won't eat until you do
I won't laugh until you do
And I won't sleep until you do
