about

"Bright, bold, playful and emotive, 'Madeleine' is a nostalgic anthem of identity, loss, and alternate possibilities. Gia Como and Pool Boy's contrasting, yet connected voices paint an evocative picture in gorgeous synth pop colour." - Rockton Records

"Gia Como delivering the most interesting but of gothic synth pop you'll hear all day. I mean, you might not be listening to heaps of this very niche sound but you'll want to after this charming track."

lyrics

We're dancin, on the neighbour limestone fence
Steppin, either side might make some sense
Remember, when we were young guns? No neither do I
If I had you, would i maybe be more like a guy

Sister, I knew you were a sister to me
Oh i've missed her, if we only had each other to see

Oh we were in the same room, me and you just our room
Maybe I got too big and you were left just like a twig
Maybe we became me and you just never did flee
And I'm not one but two, you fit me just like a shoe

(Pool Boy) Would your face be the same? Would we call each others name? Would we stay up on the fence? Or would i end up in cements?

(Gia Como) How would i see myself if we shared our little wealth and knowledge of our clothes do you think you'd have my nose?

BRIDGE

Oh Madeleine, we could have been the best of friends oh yeah you'd see
Should've been, the missing puzzle piece that yeah still plagues me
Oh Madeleine, we could have been the best of friends oh yeah you'd see
Should've been, the missing puzzle piece that yeah still plagues me

Oh we were in the same room, me and you just our room
Maybe I got too big and you were left just like a twig
Maybe we became me and you just never did flee
And I'm not one but two, you fit me just like a shoe

Madeleine, we'll always dance along the limestone fence and
Sway each side, No need to let somebody force us to decide

No need to let somebody force us to decide (x2)
