Lyrics
At the end of every season I’m spent up
Keep thinking this will be the one.
Hesitation lingers till I’m unreasonable
As if you care, I know you got your own stuff going on
You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?
Can’t we talk about it once we’ve slept?
When can we, yeah can we, work it out?
Meditation just makes you more strung out
I wish you had a guru to tell you to let it go, let it go
You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?
You don’t have to pretend you’re not scared
Everyone else is just as terrified as you.
Medication just makes you more upset
I bet you got a lot to prove I know you’re still the same
You must be having so much fun
Everything’s amazing
So subservient I make myself sick
Are you listening?

[@adirondack2108]

“You don’t have to pretend your not scared, everyone else is just as terrified as you” Loved Courtney before this song but this tune solidified her for me. And every time I hear that line I feel good.

[@rebauer2000]

I thought Rock 'n' Roll was dead, but with Courtney around it is certainly still alive!

[@user-wd7qc5wv8l]

She is the coolest singer these days!

One of my favorites on the album. Courtney is also killing it with all these videos coming out

The first time I listened to this song it reminded me of a song that’d be used in an indie film that’d be in travel montage part I love those types of songs

[@ericolson8016]

Courtney Barnett se ha convertido en la reina del indie-rock. Ha sido casi por casualidad ya que la discografía de la australiana tampoco es muy extensa. Lo primero que hay que considerar es que sus trabajos, este es su segundo disco en solitario, han sido muy bien acogidos por el público y la crítica; su facilidad para los estribillos contagiosos es pasmosa; su acierto en tocar temas polémicos como la pederastia han sido un acierto; sus colaboraciones con otros artistas y el éxito de su disco conjunto con Kurt Vile, un músico con mucha más trayectoria, han proyectado su propia carrera; su juventud e imagen han inspirado a otras chicas que se han decidido a coger la guitarra; su naturalidad y desparpajo que la hacen atractiva, sin ser especialmente guapa, la han convertido en modelo de una conocida marca de pantalones vaqueros, así que todo ello ha contribuido a afianzar su imagen mundial. Todo ello ha hecho que ahora se mire con detenimiento todo lo que hace. Así pues su segundo trabajo en solitario ha creado suma expectación “Tell Me How You Really Feel”, un disco que sorprende porque suena algo más oscuro, menos directo que su debut. Piezas como ‘Hopefulessness’, que abre el disco o "I’m Not Your Mother, I’m Not Your Bitch" muestran esa densidad. La fama rápida ha pillado por sorpresa a la australiana que no tiene reparos en hacer un repaso a sus miedos e inseguridades, en algunas de las letras. De ahí que estemos ante diez canciones más personales y menos directas. Courtney Barnett sigue demostrando una gran facilidad para canciones contagiosas como ‘Charity’ , ‘Crippling Self Doubt and a General Lack of Self Confidence’, City Looks Pretty’ y ‘Nameless, Faceless’. Se ha convertido en una estrella rock por méritos, así que no tiene problema en demostrarlo en composiciones tan deliciosas como esas. Esperemos que la fama no trastoque su carrera y seguir disfrutando de su buen hacer. Música independiente novedades.

I love this song thanks for your talent and the willingness to share it with the world.

Everyday I watch this

[@ThePANDA1885]

This song makes me forget I'm nearly 40. That's got to be good. Right?

[@senorxcoldhands9671]

40 is surprisingly young...but i guess you've been feeling old lately and this song reminds you what it feels to be young again?

[@ThePANDA1885]

@@senorxcoldhands9671 you hit the nail on the head, friend. Sometimes I miss the magic of youth.

[@totesmagotes3688]

I turned 30 last year and my wife said I was old and and she was almost old too. Like, speak for yourself lol

[@senorxcoldhands9671]

@@ThePANDA1885 i totally get you. Ironically, even in my early 20s the feeling is mutual. I guess we are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. It's definitely a state of mind. Glad that you get momentary magic from this music. Everybody deserves it from time to time :)
