Music and Lyrics by Courtney Barnett
Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To Lyrics:
Nobody knows, why we keep trying, why we keep trying.
And so on it goes, I’m looking forward to the next letter that I’m gonna get from you.
A baby is born, as a man lay dying, as a man lay dying.
And so on it goes, I’m looking forward to the next letter that I’m gonna get from you.
Sit beside me, watch the world burn, we’ll never learn we don’t deserve nice things.
And we’ll scream, self-righteously, we did our best but what does that even mean.
I’m walking around, walking around.
With my head down, my head down.
I’m pushing away, I’m pushing away.
Yeah I’m pushing away, pushing away.

[@mikegreen2417]

Putting this one on repeat. Only complaint is it's not long enough.

[@MrMicSilk]

Good idea

[@msvonnegutpunch5384]

Standard issue

[@chowitabonita]

Been on repeat for the last few days

[@toddboyer147]

Hi Courtney, Hope you are doing well in this crazy world.

[@campbellrocksagain]

It helps to be crazy

[@janef8119]

Discovering Courtney has been the highlight of my year, she’s been on repeat this past week. I scored tickets to see her in Toronto in February & holy f I can’t wait. Couldn’t ask for a better musician to see for my first time at Massey Hall

[@eramosat]

Don't know if she actually played in February...probably not...so she's back in September at Massey Hall. Maybe you already have your tickets!

[@mookie7688]

I have tickets for the make-up date at Massey Hall September 14. Hope you will finally get to see her too!

[@defnotcam9166]

Amazed by the song but also the wrapping skills on the packages

[@momamario]

for anybody wondering, that plant music album is real and it rocks

[@gorilafrommanila]

Its plantasia by mortensen. Very good actually..

[@SolvingOurKreation]

It's quite SYNTHetic hehe

[@sabbatik]

I discovered them the same year I discovered Courtney

[@raygunn95]

"I'm walking around... with my head down I'm pushing away" I think part of the beauty of her last lines are that she knows herself and where she stands in the world. That kind of insight can be something we find reassuring when we're somewhat uncertain of where we stand ourselves. Especially when we relate to the rest of the way she's expressed her understanding of this strange and absurd experience of being human. Underneath it all though, she's looking forward to someone's next letter, and one thing we can be sure matters to us in life is good company.

[@sum1414]

This album keeps getting better and better

[@HarvestMoon2049]

I love Mort Garson's "Plantasia" album!! Sacred Bones Records bought the rights to the album and reissued it about 5 years ago. I got the CD. It's great. 💚🌱🎶

[@1755ma]

Hi Courtney, take care of yourself and keep writing and bringing music to this dark world.

[@scootinand]

I just had a slowly escalating anxiety attack for about the first 6 hours of my work shift, and this is really beautiful and helped me decompress. Thank you, Courtney

[@drewbabydrew7742]

Courtney has a song about Depreston (preston is an outer suburb in melb.aust.)

[@user-bu5vp9nd9m]

Try jumping off roof next time

[@WalterTattersall]

Your music is a big part of what has gotten me through the past year and a half. This whole new album is going to be amazing. Thank you for inspiring me! Can't wait to see you play in Phoenix!!

[@SavyPatterson]

Courtney, I was Just writing my list of things to look forward to! It's like you're in my head. I sit in my room and look at your posters on my wall, and strum my left-handed guitar. Thanks for being a great inspiration and keeping me company from afar!

[@nankerphelge3771]

Southpaws are the spice rack in the world's kitchen.

[@SavyPatterson]

@@nankerphelge3771 what?

[@nankerphelge3771]

@@SavyPatterson In baseball, a southpaw is someone who is left handed. Left handed people seem to have an advantage in many sports. Right handers who rarely face a left handed opponent, in sports from baseball to boxing, to tennis, have to learn how to defend from a different angle. Some maintain that left handed folks even provide a unique perspective in the creative arts, such as painting and music. At any rate, I think the world needs more variety, left handed people provide a different point of view, and variety is said to be the spice of life.

[@matayolandas]

I need the "Cooking with Courtney" book.

[@HonchHeado]

So do I bro lollllllllllllllllll

[@annec6274]

Really love it. Every album I think, “She can’t get better.” And then you do. A few years ago, I could barely convince myself to LIFE if I didn’t hit Aqua Profunda by the time I was walking out of my apartment. That album was crucial for me every day for several months. Thank you.

[@manuzdiaz9106]

Courtney and her really long titles 😆 can't wait to hear the new album, greetings from argentina 💪💪

[@c4p461r4]

-> Lina Wertmuller film titles

[@kalai_doscope]

I know things take time, but I can't wait for this album to arrive!

[@NoCoverCharge]

She is a dream

[@javiiwilliams851]

I love you Courtney!!!! You're a great singer!!!!

[@kungfoograsshoppa7490]

..love it

[@mikemccready1127]

Obviously I have heard Courtney on the radio over the last few years. Never really hearing a song that grabbed me. This did, immediately! It has catchy pop feel- its not pop, simply Courtney moving in a slightly different direction. Love this tune!

[@gingerdude55]

Been looking forward to this ever since her virtual lockdown concert last December. I remember feeling so lost and empty, and this song made me feel so hopeful 😊😊😊

[@mymuses4336]

I love how joyous and yet melancholy this song is...I really needed this as I have just returned home after surviving and then being evacuated due to Hurricane Ida! What a lovely piece of music and prose...bittersweet but oh, so human! Thank you dear Courtney! Much love from New Orleans! ^..^

[@mariodellitalia1416]

In my list, one of the finest things i'm looking forward for is to watching your gig soon! Always amazed by your tracks, what a songwriter you are Courtney! *.*

[@amaddicted1234]

Courtney OWNS my heart

[@ernestzelnick6304]

I love every one of your songs so much. I want to put you on a pedestal, tell you that you're exceptional, and give you all my money.

[@antidotes1999]

She will only disappoint you

[@campbellrocksagain]

I really love this tune now. It's grown on me in 2 weeks. X

[@wildvanconversions]

Listening to Courtney’s songs is my main act of self care

[@Zetianzhuang]

yessss. I like what you said

[@briarb2156]

Another great left handed person

[@rainbowbgood]

So beautiful! Write a letter to yourself and see the things you can do for yourself grow and expand from there! It works!

[@breadstuff]

Courtney, i've listened to your music for years. You write wonderful songs. I hope you're doing well.

[@TheLuthor67]

Can't wait to hear the full album!! 10/10

[@chuxtheweb1234]

You gave us the gift of great live music in the past...hearing you sing again in the future is 1 thing I look forward to

[@khrldt]

courtney songs/releases always have been very intimate and the words constantly touch deep in my heart in very delicate & subtle way. but this one, the song title itself really hits me instantly, no words to describe but i'm putting a large smile on my face right now writing this comment thinking about the song title as I also have "Wrote a List of Things To Look Forward To" few months back when i'm in kinda worst position, the writings and music video are indeed the cherry on top. looking forward for more of you. much love 💌 from me.

[@chadtodd9490]

This is a fine song...

[@peterbrown6434]

Another Brilliant Track From Courtney!!

[@delfinajaz]

The songs, the music videos… they make me so happy!!

[@mylonwagner9296]

Oh Courtney you always seem to manage to warm this Navajos heart. I may be the only Navajo on my reservation who adores you so much. Perhaps the only Native American? This song always uplifts my soul. You never cease to disappoint.

[@barbsugrue5573]

Courtney, thanks- your music makes me feel better when I'm a bit low,☺

[@greenwave819]

Jan 28 2022. Put that date on your list. The chance to see music of this quality played live at the Ryman is truly something to look forward to.

[@madeleinep.828]

Courtney's music is one of the only things that has brought me comfort these past several months.

[@PoorlyMadeArt]

I like this song

[@viniciuss.marques6763]

So lovely! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@emmanuelhall8926]

God i love this song

[@huntermcneil2201]

This brought genuine tears to my eyes.

[@unconditionalprong]

This song speaks to me and a lot of people. I've been putting this on when things haven't been going well.

[@marike1100]

Her obvious love of plants makes me love her even more. 🌿 #plantlivesmatter #courtneyrocks

[@scottjensen1380]

A baby is born as a man lays dyin'. Yo, once that line got permanently stuck in my mind, I became addicted to this track.

[@jaycarlson6120]

My new favorite song

[@GoQuackhammerGo]

New Courtney! Hooray!

[@flaviamonteiro8565]

I can't stop to listening this music...

[@flaviamonteiro8565]

@Name Face Wow! Really good dude. Thank you a lot =D

[@TomMarvan]

2:12 great smile and excitement of a new guitar… was it a surprise?

[@likhayazweni1674]

I love you Courtney all your songs are good and they all calm me down after bad day.....thank you❤

[@sheldoncooper8199]

Courtney is a Special human being and i mean that in all the Positive aspects. Thankfully i learned about her cause her Song Pedestrian at Best is in Gran Turismo Sport

[@gitterich]

Hi Courtney, I'm a big fan of your music. With all the beautiful new songs, I have one request: Don't forget that you are (from your roots) a born rough rocker.

[@markwilliams_1975]

You are an absolute Gem. I love your quirky, intelligent lyrics and you are SO REAL. I;m watching your ABC doco. I'm 47 and I feel l will never fall in Love again. Sometimes I dream of THAT person who makes me feel speacial, complete and adored. Roy Orbison sang about it. Anyway - you are searxhing for the trruth and so talented. Fckn brilliant x MarkyMark

[@BradleyWallis-st1xs]

We all love you Courtney, keep writing amazing music 🎶

[@timetocook722]

God, this is beautiful and brilliant. Heard it just this morning on WXRT Chicago when I was in a funk about my teenage kids. Love.

[@Realistic_Management]

My favourite song off the new album so far, just delightful :)

[@arialba7890]

Noone can be as cool and cute at the same time than Courtney

[@skanderhannachi3071]

so sweet

[@justj44]

that guitar at the end is so pure. beautiful song

[@anch0vyproductions]

you made my plants happy with the Mort Garson shoutout! :')

[@Zetianzhuang]

I should have learned that Courtney was also in lockdown with me a few blocks away (maybe). Maybe I would not have felt so lonely back then :))

[@dontwasteyourheart]

tô totalmente esgotada por ainda estar presa em casa, essa música e esse vídeo me arrancou umas lágrimas e a força de continuar vendo beleza na vida tão restrita, tão pequena

[@Z4hL]

I just love your music, I don't know what else to say or how to say it. Thank you, really.

[@robcouch3336]

Always makes me happy in tough times smile 😊

[@Jack-zr2kv]

Your music sounds so fresh and original , kind of old school , awesome film clips 🙏

[@joelzico]

I'm definitely adding this to my list of things to look forward to

[@loucat2779]

So talented, and so adorable

[@diegonarvaez4166]

I love this song so much!

[@lauradavis1364]

Portland will miss you, see ya in Seattle! Living lefty legend.

[@jemormaypa4005]

This is too good

[@darkmantis69]

I found Courtney one day on KZbin and I’ve been hooked ever since. Brilliant lyrics and the music is so great and sing too!!❤❤

[@KateKillet]

Blessed

[@mgr8556]

Quel plaisir... comme toujours

[@carlosvergara2114]

Ditched social media, ditched my smartphone and literally have been doing everything CB is doing in the video + journaling nightly and my life has never felt more balanced.

[@mooseheadrush]

So many smiles!

[@mickey4125]

Man I love Courtney so much!

[@eddiebodero4902]

Best song ever, feels so good!

[@johncerpa3782]

So good

[@alanwalton3322]

This sparks joy

[@HomerSimpsonIsCool]

This song is fucking delightful. The feeling it brings with the lyrics & instrumentation is euphoric. Things Take Time, Take Time cannot come soon enough

[@mylonwagner9296]

I swear I keep playing this song over and over.

[@greatheightsu]

1. I am looking forward to Courtney's new album on Nov. 12th. 2. I am looking forward to next weekend. :)

[@CaiLock]

Amazing tune!

[@funone8716]

Just discovered this 100P song. 100P means I HAVE to play it at least 100 times before I've been satisfied. Yes, it's that good. Beautiful!

[@funone8716]

@Name Face Found it, it's good......thanks!

[@iwasagirlineldiadoingalrig7290]

Oh wow!

[@kc0mwl]

This is the most joyful thing ever. I would Cook with Courtney any day

[@pinksparkle6891]

Thank you for this gem and for this jam!

[@jimdyck2339]

Fave new artist. Another favourite - Snail Mail. Amazing music coming from the ladies. Love it

[@MrMicSilk]

Another great song. Ty.

[@marcosartor6474]

Good job, Courtney!! Keep it up!!

[@noelnasty]

Love the videotography in this!

[@MrRocksW]

Courtney is one cool lady

[@matthewmckay9443]

beautiful song

[@juanvallejo8826]

I just saw Courtney and the band this morning on CBS Saturday Morning. They played this song, and I immediately got a strong vibe of Chrissie Hynde & The Pretenders. Courtneys' got a fan.

[@henrycarpenter2252]

aww

[@joshfump8238]

What a banger 🧨 🎧

[@guilhermerocha1382]

[@ElevenBC]

Another great track, keep 'em coming!
