Courtney Barnett - Shivers (written by Rowland S. Howard)

[@WhatIsDeafIsDead76]

This is the greatest thing I've heard since the song some boys were playing next door

[@elizabethhann4028]

Cute, cute, cute.

[@bryanbaumgartner5302]

I miss the spine..spinne e iiiiine

[@alpineareas8629]

I saw Rowland do this with Warren Ellis at the Public Bar in 1995 with ten people in the crowd. This holds true to that memory.

[@DanielBrasher]

+Alpine Areas Wow that would have been one hell of a gig :)

[@jordanjordan2488]

+Alpine Areas so fucking jealous

[@rocketlocket4903]

lived up the road from me

[@mattgingerich9011]

Okay, yeah, I'm jealous

[@rodrigonetto2912]

Lyrics: I've been contemplating suicide, But it really doesn't suit my style, So I think I'll just act bored instead And contain the blood I would've shed She makes me feel so ill at ease My heart is really on it's knees But I keep a poker face so well That even mother couldn't tell But my baby's so vain She is almost a mirror And the sound of her name Sends a permanent shiver down my Spine I keep her photograph against my heart For in my life she plays a starring part All alcohol and cigarettes There is no room for cheap regrets She makes me feel so ill at ease My heart is really on it's knees But I keep a poker face so well That even mother couldn't tell But my baby's so vain She is almost a mirror And the sound of her…

[@darlingphonic6629]

Rowland S., Birthday Party, Cave - Courtney carrying on the fine tradition of an Aussie delivering some of the finest music in rock.

[@dannyinaus]

You forget, it was Nick Cave with Boys Next Door (with Roland on guitar) that first made this a hit.

[@rupertred7434]

Rowland wrote the song... I don’t understand your point, nick is kind of irrelevant this song wouldn’t exist without Howard

[@ScottOrKaze]

Hearing Barnett hit such deep lows is so haunting yet peaceful. Really gives me shivers

[@MrOnomatopoiea]

Yes, I adore her approach to this song and I think it fits perfectly! ;)

[@hannah0golightly]

I just heard this for the first time and I am in love with it. I'm on my fourth listen... could be here a while.

[@Bulmachan224]

+Hannah Golightly Fourth*

[@ilikematches2]

+Hannah Golightly Yeah, just woke up and heard this for the first time... Chills. She knows how to say what.

[@Ausfaq]

+Summer J We can see the title, bro.

[@hannah0golightly]

I prefer this version to the version in that film and I like the version in the film.

[@dandygirl6]

oh god shut up

[@mi-zi-ni]

I can’t believe I’ve never heard this song and had to wait for a Netflix show to introduce me to it

[@zeusescoven8266]

Dare me?

[@mi-zi-ni]

Zeuses Coven yep

[@ValeriaRPena]

What Netflix show? I'm curious

[@mi-zi-ni]

@@ValeriaRPena a show called ‘Dare Me’

[@kylielawrence1283]

This is one of my favourite songs from back in the day. Listen to the screaming jets version which is my favourite.

[@elizabethhann4028]

Three cheers to Courtney Barnett; she's a Wild Colonial Girl.

[@JaJaHerSelF]

holy shit I'm so glad I found this!!! love Rowland, love Courtney - this is fantastic.

[@jamesnolan4412]

Love it, takes me back to Maria Hoy's version for Dogs In Space

[@lyndacartwright9695]

Still can't believe Rowland was only 16 when he wrote this! .....and he is no more.

[@Tranquility-Base]

Loving this song right now

[@nerdbot37]

Brilliant. Haunting. Beautiful.

[@gabrielvalencia1287]

At least you, unlike others, decided to go in a different direction with your cover. Your a true artist, and you are loved

Hopefully 😔😔😔

[@CrrrashnnBurrrn]

inexpressibly beautiful

[@chooseitwisely98]

Heck yes.

[@saw141]

Thank you for making this.

[@Handlehandleshandled]

I bought the two track record for this and i loved this song

[@Diecastclassicist]

Great cover.

[@deelander68]

love it!!

[@lukieboy111]

Perfect

[@yorkemar]

Ok.Upon few listens she does a good job.I like Roland S Howard.

[@MikeMarshalldotca]

I thought it was Divine Fits song. The comments here have introduced me to Rowland S Howard. Thanks!

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Mike Marshall check out The Birthday Party. All great. His playing was masterful and unique

[@MultiAguilar1]

Wow

[@Snugdajoina]

Was this in that movie with Radha Mitchell and Frances O'Connor, Love and Other Disasters or Catastrophies... I can't remember?

[@soundcloudsampy]

Best rock trio in the goddam world

[@mikeseay8053]

OMG is this on spotify??

[@logan4x6]

I thought this was originally Divine Fits' song! Had no idea it was a cover.

[@ZackBlackMusic]

Same here, until about a year ago, when I found the Nick Cave - Boys Next Door version. The Divine Fits version live on KEXP is even better than their studio version.

[@srbustamante1985]

Rowland is a hero dark australian

[@PassiveNights]

I thought nothing could top the Against Me! cover but here we are

[@taralea781]

Beautifully sullen... def not lazy

[@Eth3rDrift]

Hnnngg.. yes please

[@721deco]

Still loving Against Me's version.

[@nevenakrstulovic2649]

nice!

[@BradleyWallis-st1xs]

I like this song more than the original.

[@MrRubydoobs]

Wanted to hate it..Its really very good. The birthday party is a band close to my heart

[@brrroxx478]

dare me

[@nathancramer6185]

* Originally performed by The Young Charlatans

[@lookoutsmithers2693]

Nice one folks

[@r.s8137]

Ich feier dich sooooo extrem grüsse aus Deutschland

[@sayerma]

I'm usually the first one to say that I find CB excruciating. However, I actually love this cover - its not about the words and her lyrics, its how she sings it...its meant to be down-beat and sad. I think the guitar is beautiful with the tremolo and I don't care if its only two chords. Beaut song I think.

[@zeusescoven8266]

I really thought it was Lana del Rey for a minute.

[@diearic]

me quedo con la versión de Cat Power

[@cloudsgrey]

Remember

[@shiverzhl]

El Ten Eleven & Joy Division

[@saw141]

Fuck yeah.

[@theleggett171]

I want that on a fuckin shirt!

[@danielledestructive]

[@fredbassett4676]

Courtney Courtney Courtney. Why?

[@cheekywun]

Not a bad cover but prefer the original by The Boys Next Door....can't beat that one.

[@anthonylittle3627]

[@cojometaldetecting]

~~~Dogs In Space~~~

[@IIAmHorseLover]

I’ve been contemplating suicide, but it doesn’t really suit my style.

[@ilikematches2]

Fuck... yeah... guess I'm stuck here with everyone else.

[@DanielBrasher]

Awesome! Fucking awesome! But I really wish the chorus was a bit whinier. What happened to - sp-ee-i-ee-i-ee-i-ee-i-ee-i-ine?

[@sianleathem1995]

Still prefer the Boys Next Door version.

[@screwtapeinthedeck]

Doubt if anyone was trying to top it

[@AlexHernandez-gb3ts]

Agreed

[@thehappyhandler827]

uh no really? lol ppl are weird

[@samipratt1279]

I thought the Young Charlatans did it originally

[@jandaeng7017]

Cannot be better that Nick Cave. But it is just different and okey.

Fantastic nose on the left.

[@hollypereira2654]

Glad she sung it similar to Rowland as opposed to Nick Cave's version.

[@rupertred7434]

This is not her song it’s a cover, give credit where it’s due

[@Aotearoa2010]

Dare Me sent me here

[@tomkat69pc]

almost like nico ..

[@hanyam9684]

shit... i got depressed again... great song anyway, better than the original in my opinion

[@peteshegog5916]

Sad to say this but it just sounds lazy to me. Can't listen to it and I'm a big fan of CB.

[@dixiecup343]

Hate it...a travesty on the original.

[@standroid64]

Once more with emotion... 🙄

[@verlocitybrand2290]

this is how the song is supposed to be sung, deadpan and sarcastic. even Rowland himself said he's not a fan of how serious Nick Cave sang it

[@Kat-zh4tk]

didn't lift it

[@yorkemar]

boys next door is nuanced..this sounds like a parody.

[@Snugdajoina]

catastrophes, sorry!

[@leonherperger4055]

one part song. must have taken a lot of skill to put that together

[@rsmko]

Just bleedin sucks. Two whole chords ... AGAIN. Mutant music vacuum.

[@alwynshaw6197]

This is fucked. Rowland rip. Well done with kurt but this is horrible xx

[@74maralyn]

Get some Aussie culture. Screaming Jets version is so much better!

[@gavenmx]

do you want to be lana del rey?

[@dyma95]

This has really nothing to do with Lana del rey...

[@Hardboiiledbabe]

Lmfao wtf

[@brandoncorder9469]

So lazy on the vocals.. Are you serious...

[@bazkrocker]

boring AF cover

[@DanerickDanerick1]

boring, deadpan. Were you looking for a Miley Cyrus rendition? Not sure what you expected based on the original piece.

[@tonycostanzo4276]

what a stupid suicide encouraging song only a lunatic would have written this song and a fool to sing it

[@adolphomanncio3126]

Courtney Stick to your own boring music, you butchered this cover
