Lyrics
You won't believe what I coulda told ya
But I don't believe I've the balls to let you know
I can say that 'cause I'm a man
But I feel like a little boy... today
I cherish my intercontinental friendships
We talk it over continental breakfast
In a hotel in east bumble-wherever
Somewhere on the sphere, around here
I cherish my intercontinental friendships
Not much very big on enemies
So I kick a can way up into the sun, man
But it falls down into a ravine
I don’t mean to even think about it that way, but I do
Watchin’ the waves come in at night
From my back porch stoop, porch swing swingin’on its own
See it’s just an inhabitant of some holy ghost
I walk like a bruised ego along shorefront property un-owned to me
But I'm feelin’ inferior on the interior don’t ya see Guarded and sentimental (and after all, its just a rental)
(Like better luck performin' telekinesis on a priestess)
You won’t believe what I mighta, coulda told ya
But I wouldn’t wanna leave ya trippin’ out over it
OK, more-so me, but...
(or just me)

This is the cutest music video I've ever seen. I feel cleansed of everything bad.

Sharkotic perfect description

[@titusrichardson539]

This is how music should be seen, they all showing what looks like a piece of their lives and we should be blessed to have seen as such, I'm sure for the first time we all heard and watched it gave us all a feeling of difference but for me a feeling of happiness

Work out, don't eat processed foods, meditate. Obviously not promising cure, but I guarantee you'll feel waaay better and start a momentum to get over that, with medical assistance. A big hug my friend. Much love ♥️

What wonderful footage! I feel so grateful that Courtney and Kurt have given us this intimate look into who and what they love in life. I don't think they could have made a more perfect music video for this song.

[@noodlehat3250]

In these extremely depressing times this song and video gives you reassurance about the goodness of people.

[@titusrichardson539]

😊

[@IndependentVictor]

The video reflects a perfect life, and the songs they have released so far are perfect as well. I haven't been this hyped for an album in years

[@carstenbruhn8617]

what a beautiful experience it was clicking on this video and watching it all. a nice break from everything. they both seem like really beautiful people.

[@watt0455]

This collaboration is (in my opinion) some of the strongest work both of you have put out. I hope the creative process has been as fullfilling and enjoyable as watching these videos and listening to these songs as you release them. The songs bring an amazing sense of inner peace and the videoclips are just as stunning. You guys have the loveliest smiles/families/friendships and I wish you and your cherished ones the absolute best in all future endeavours

[@krisfortney2523]

I couldn't agree more. Well said!

[@jaylynn1991]

Pretty sure this is the most wholesome comment I've ever read. You are so right too

[@garethroach9014]

More Terrible self indulgent Negative Songs from two talentless asshats, haven’t you got something better to sing about? FYI most people including gay people are still conceived through heterosexual birth, meaning they have a mom and dad, you may not like this fact Courtney and Kurt ? It is time that you get over your denial, I am sorry to disappoint you, But the technology of anal birth that’s on your wish list is still not here. So keep dreaming, the closest you and others on here will get to this phenomenon is your music.

[@spibbleslol7212]

im only 16 so 10 years is a long time. this song and album (as well as other works from both of you) made up a lot of my "childhood" car rides. this is the first time ive ever seen this music video and its one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen and heard. thanks

[@muhammadabiyyu8528]

Can't wait until 13 October 2017 😊😊

[@kaibowers5485]

3:33 oh my god is that where she got her album title from?

[@CaramelWaffle]

Kai Bowers Yes, i once read in an interview that the album title came from a poster her grandmother had.

[@salmonconnections]

Apparently the quote is by Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A. Milne

[@ZeranZeran]

How is that poster that says "Sometimes I sits and I thinks, and sometimes I just sits" relevant to "Lotta Sea Lice" ? This one is flying over my head. Is it a pun?

[@analuisatorres9776]

"Sometimes I sits and I thinks, and sometimes I just sits" is the name of the first album that Courtney relased on 2015.

[@MrBrno]

That's the cutest thing I've ever discovered.

[@princeroadcontainerhouse4198]

This quite possibly will be one of the best duet records of all time. Outstanding! xoxo

[@Sitchad1]

This is the best song I've heard in years. I thought this kind of artists have disappeared since the 70´s. Great stuff

[@user-oj1ll3yx9s]

This actually had me tearing up, it was so sweet. A wholesome reminder of what it really means to live deliberately... family, friendships, music, and the sweet moments that tie everything together. Looking through the world with new eyes each day, living in the moment, being unafraid to love, and taking nothing for granted. Cherishing our little lives and the ones we share it with.

Absolutely nothing restores your faith in humanity more than a good sing song about being buddies :,)

[@parkmohler]

I’ve loved this record with all my heart upon release, but I haven’t come back to this video in a long, long time. I’ve been having such a terrible last few weeks, and this piece made my cry tears and tears of happiness, even though I was still stuck in bed.. I’m so glad my brain decided to tell me to look this video up again… made me the happiest I’ve felt in a good while. AND, to you Kurt- I’ll see ya in Nashville soon! ❤️

[@gandalfgreenhands]

I might have commented on one of Kurt's vids that he is not only a great musician, but he makes me feel like he's a long lost friend. That I havent' met yet , and hope to , someday. I would add that same to Courtney . and that duet was SUPERB. Thank you both so very much.

Courtney Barnett is one of my favorite persons in this planet. I love her a lot, even if we haven't met yet or haven't gone to any of her live shows, I wouldn't know what to tell her. Luckily Kurt Vile came to Asia and I said hi to him, I felt stupid, but he's such a sweet guy, an awesome one. I'm so glad these two are doing great stuff together.

[@jessgrotesk4430]
