Same

[@Falsettos_revival]

She’s literally my gay awakening LMAO

[@KendriiSaysHello]

God, I haven't stopped listening to this all evening. Her subtle acting, and the gorgeous vocals, combined with just how generally beautiful she is. Barrett is just so amazing.

[@achilles7116]

KendriiSaysHello Yes! I adore the acting part! ❤️

[@yoursibling5571]

agreed

[@CAT-zc8xs]

7 years after this comment and I too can’t stop listening to this song. So perfect

[@sarakolsan9902]

this is an accurate representation of a) how gay I am and b) how often I push up my glasses very relatable song XD

[@entpanimatics8070]

I’ve never heard her sing with a softer tone before

[@Molly-bw3zn]

Have you heard 'I could be Jewish for you'? It's not as soft as this but It's pretty soft and really good!

[@pinkitydrinkityyas]

Listen to her cover of "She Used To Be Mine" from Waitress!

[@musicprincess9747]

listen to her sing "break a branch" from fugitive songs!

[@hamiltonlover-uu1vd]

listen to her singing barf bag breakup

[@4dultw1thj0b]

That does it: I am officially in love with her. (You are SO my type, Barrett)

[@melanierodriguez3901]

[@catarinabakker8405]

1:18 shit Barrett! Also, she seemed to get very emotional at the end of the song and it made me tear up..:/:) God I love 'er

[@jaykennedy7018]

I absolutely love Barrett Wilbert Weed and her voice. I think she deserves to be more recognized and I would love to see here doing more out there.

[@pattongilbert]

Here in 2022 and it’s still as beautiful and sweet as ever.😊

[@betharnold8939]

I'm so excited to be performing this song at an LGBT cabaret on Sunday!

[@katehenry-hettel8559]

I'm back here three years later and this song is just as wonderful as the first time I heard it. She was wonderful in Heathers and the new Mean Girls album had just dropped (it's also epic). I'm glad that she's getting the recognition she deserves, but a small part of me misses the relaxed days when she was free to do little things like this

[@julianalee1851]

truthh TT-TT

[@lucysutton4292]

I relate to this song too much. It REALLY sucks crushing on a straight girl. (btw Barrett you are totally my type *wink wink*)

[@humanperson3733]

As a glasses wearer this is so accurate - I push up my glasses whenever I get nervous or upset or anxious and I do it a LOT when I am crushing on someone!!

[@rockabyebyebaby21]

I push up my glasses As you go about frothing the cream And I'm sweating from all of the steam As it simmers me into a dream I push up my glasses So I might catch the gleam of your eyes I know you like those nerdy, hipster guys Can't you see through their plastic disguise? Oh, why Every shift I work, I might just go berserk As you toy, pushing past for the soy Hoping one day, you would finally say that you want me Over some stupid boy I push up my glasses As you twirl the milk in a heart swirl I remember that I'm still a girl And I wish that my heart would unwirl 'Cause I know I'll never be your type So I try to tune out As I go to clock out I push up my glasses.

[@emmaeveryday7415]

She sounds so much like Sara Bareilles!!

[@rebeccalevin2110]

I've been listening to this song for MONTHS and only just now realized it's basically about my life.... Que tears

[@MentallyFive]

SAME! Just had the realization!

[@SabrinaOlivera]

Rebecca Levin me too

[@JoannaSapphire1]

her voice is beautiful.

[@toros8589]

She's one of my favorite singers/actors because of how well she is able to convey emotion with the smallest facial expressions or shift in posture. Also her voice is awesome

[@starlightdiaries]

Gosh... I have had this stuck in my head for the whole day! Adore Barrett and this song: I mean who wouldn't love her subtle acting and gorgeous voice?! Perfect voice for a wonderful song

[@EJ_MRSPOXIAL]

Barrett is acctually Queen 👸🏻😍

[@meredithjulia162]

why is it that barrett just has to be so perfect like this is such an accurate song for so many people and she captures the feeling so well

[@m3ll0k1ss3r]

i swear barrett is the only singer/actress who can make me cry like this omlll

[@jellyjas2624]

I LOVE how they put in specific lyrics (over some stupid boy, I'm still a girl) so that no one can change the meaning of the song. It's about a gay girl and no one can change that

[@samwilkinson5059]

And here i thought it was about a girl liking a gay dude. Guess there can be 2 ways to interpret it

[@yoursibling5571]

@@samwilkinson5059 that’s what I thought too

[@assasinault]

She makes me feel all the feelings

[@brodi4564]

Listening back to this after not hearing it for almost a year brings tears to my eyes. I first heard this song on my first year away from home. I was lying down in my dorm room, rain pouring outside the window, not enough to be a storm but enough to create a soft pattering noise outside. I was looking up at the ceiling, debating whether or not I was in love with this boy. I didn't know where it was heading then. You both liked each other. It's been a year. You left. You're playing this song again, alone in your dorm room, still wondering where your life is heading.

[@natashacaitlin8413]

I am in love with this song and Barrett's voice! It's incredible : )

[@phoebeshunkerbell]

I love her voice.

[@sensen4161]

This is makin' me cry for some reason.

[@milliea.1515]

I KEEP RE-WATCHING THIS, AND I'LL KEEP RE-WATCHING IT UNTIL I CAN STOP CRYING WHEN I DO SO, DAMN IT.

[@MsHarlyQuin]

The internets are weird. Got here through a random string of youtube theatre nerdery, then saw whose channel it was. Read your last update on FB--sorry it's been a rough week. Hope things are feeling better soon. This show looks like it was amazing, and I'm sure NYC/MTF will be happy to have you back soon. -Deda

[@CharlieArchelli]

My god this song, and Barrett. PERFECT!

[@katesanchez3841]

Barrett is literally the greatest person ever. Like she is the most talented and I need her to stop making me cry every time she sings cause its so good.

[@rebeccah2662]

I'm sitting in a free period right now close to tears because of this song my life's mission now is to sing this song as perfectly as her (which probably won't happen).Does anyone else think she might be bisexual? I know just because she singing about a girl doesn't automatically determine her sexuality (and we all know she's an amazing actress so she could pull of that character) but she just seems to identify with this song so strongly while singing it. What do you guys think?

[@jennypower5373]

Is it about a girl? I always thought she was singing about a gay guy. Could be either really I suppose 😃

[@rebeccah2662]

+Jenny Power I think the "I remember that I'm still a girl" proves that she's singing about a girl, if she was singing about a guy why would she forget she's a girl? Gender norms suggest guy + girl, guy is dominant, protective and loves girls but because she's feeling these things, she remembers that she cannot fill these categories in the way that would attract this other girl. There are many other points in the song that suggest she's singing about a girl, but this was the only one I could explain properly (and I still think my explanation is a little messy but tell me if it makes sense to you)

[@rebeccah2662]

+cher horowitz definetly agree, thanks for backing me up

[@blackcat5759]

Barrett is straight and the character is a lesbian

[@HeyMahiahGirl]

also the line "I know I'll never be your type" basically says that she knows the girl will never want her bc she's straight :'(

[@sarahwachs9119]

i lowkey cry every time i listen to this because a) i relate too much and b) barrett sings this so beautifully it's too much to handle

[@ellas2421]

I really wish this was on spotify

[@RoyBoyRULEZZ]

As a straight male that doesn’t wear glasses, is it weird to say this song still feels so damn relatable ? 😂

[@alcm4748]

No dude, it's cool

[@jackl.gansner6102]

I interpret this song to be about a homosexual/bisexual girl who struggles with the fact that she has a massive crush or even loves this heterosexual girl, but is not able to make the move because she knows the other girl doesn't feel the same way. This is literal so Beautiful and plus Barrett Wilbert Weed sings it, so that makes it even more beautiful, and plus she is Beautiful , and she sang a song called Beautiful!!! Everything is just B-E-A-utiful!!!

[@rriverrwaterr]

I also interpreted it that way, too!!!

[@icap.7166]

"I know you like those nerdy, hipster guys // Hoping one day, you would finally say that you want meOver some stupid boy // I remember that I'm still a girl And I wish that my heart would unwirl 'Cause I know I'll never be your type" So is she singing to a gay guy or is she singing as a gay girl singing to another girl? (If it's the latter, then I can relate to this way too much.)

[@ManlyJarizard]

I didn't even think ab her singing to guy I'm gonna pretend she's just a humble lesbian :'^)

[@sumasian3911]

+Patricia P. its definitely ab her singing to a straight girl as a lesbian

[@Bliznets]

if she says "stupid boy" it's probably to another girl

[@davidfathom3051]

Gay girl.

[@oliviaraines9482]

+Bliznets she could be singing about a gay guy as a straight girl...either way, who cares. it's such a beautiful song!

[@karlijnvanderlinde2314]

Ik staar in jou richting Als je doorgaat met koffie en room En ik zweet licht van al deze stoom Als mijn hoofd me weer tilt naar een droom Ik staar in jou richting Hoop dat jou blik de mijne aan tast Ik weet dat je valt voor die knappe gast Zie dan in dat hij niet bij jou past Altijd deze plek Maak jij me knetter gek Als jij plaagt En mijn hart zo opjaagt Ik hoop dat je ook echt Daar dan tegen me zegt Je mij ook wilt Is dat te veel gevraagd

[@Molly-bw3zn]

Omg. I love it! I relate so much and Barrett sings it

[@princess.blumarine111]

I love this song

[@braelynm.5131]

Of course it could be because she is a great actress but it seemed that this song hurt her irl and that she could almost relate to it. At the end she looks like shes about to cry but also shes a great actress so that could be it.

[@elenahause]

What's the context of this song? I mean, I get the part about her being lesbian and singing to a straight girl, but what's the whole part about milk and steam and working?

[@InazumaAl]

From what I understand, the character who sings this is working in a coffee place, like Starbucks, together with the girl she's crushing on. That's why she looks at her while she prepares the coffee, etc (I could be wrong tho ??? But I think that is it)

[@elenahause]

[@FondofVanilla]

Is it possible that she is singing about a homosexual male? Just a thought.

[@mediocrio]

fair point, but "some stupid boy" kind of negates that

[@FondofVanilla]

esotericposterior Actually it doesn't. I suspect that you may have misread my comment. The speaker would still be female; who the speaker is talking about could be a homosexual male.

[@dudette6155]

nope.

[@clarecostello3482]

i understand why you think "some stupid boy" might not necessarily mean she's singing about a girl and you would be right, except the way she emphasizes boy (with a slightly bitter tone, i might add) and not stupid indicates that she is not herself into boys

[@yoursibling5571]

her voice is beautiful
