Lyrics:
I commit myself to sabotage
See I can get what I want
Then I make it hard to hold on
Convince myself that I’m without a god
A spiritual fraud who got lost in her own sad song
We were talking out back
By the garbage cans
About dreams we had
And the five year plan
Missing the mark
Laughing in the dark
‘Cos after all, no ones in control
Go easy kid, it’s only rock and roll
Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two
Then it leaves me
Apologizing to the neighborhood
All the calls to be saved
Look I’d wanna be brave if I could
I was talking out back
With an empty man
He said, remember times we had
Before you got in the van
Left me in the park
Alone in the dark
‘Cos after all, no ones in control
Go easy kid, it’s only rock and roll
Cut through the smoke,
There’s no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we’ll never know
We were talking out back
By the garbage cans
About dreams we had
And the five year plan
Missing the mark
Laughing in the dark
‘Cos after all, no ones in control
Go easy kid
In twenty years, kid
You’re gonna look back
And wish you grabbed it all by the throat
And said, fuck it, it’s only rock and roll

I want to say I'm here because of the hot wings episode with James Corden I will always and forever respect his music choices this song is amazing these two artists are amazing the whole message behind this song is just so freeing 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Bucketsidefilms]

me too

[@Daynawood]

SAME

[@urie4678]

SAMEEE

[@jasonwalters7507]

Same. I deal with anxiety, depression and bipolar, and I was hooked in the first 10 seconds of the vocals when I had a constant state of goosebumps! This song calms me down right away, simply fantastic.

[@lacherylaivy]

omg me too!!! I just watched the episode, and I'm so glad I looked the song up. it's beautiful!

[@maximushermanite]

I hate that I’m 2 years late to this song and the talent that is Monica Martin. I’m shocked she hasn’t become more mainstream yet. Yes music, like all art, is subjective, but there are VERY few mainstream musical artists that have put out a song with this much lyrical depth in the past few years. We need more well written songs like this. Absolutely beautiful!

[@baceff6478]

No lie I was getting ready to get in the bath, and I said "alexa play...." then my 8 year ran down the hallway screaming and I shouted "take it easy kid!" and alexa played this song and thats how I discovered it...and this version is a masterpiece

[@SilverTheFlame]

Wow. Incredible opportunity. Thank your kid

[@tymewaisanen]

That. Is. Life. I flipping fricking love it!! Been there- haven’t done that, but toootally can see it happening!! 🥹🤣

[@drewfontaine2891]

This song was meant to find you, clearly. That is great!

[@a2kmike]

how very serendipitous

[@karenthomas1106]

This is the 1st song I have listened to in 2024. It's absolutely beautiful, I have tears streaming down my face. It might have something to do with the fact that my son is a ice (meth) addict who thankfully is in recovery and on the right track atm. Then there's my daughter who has 3 young children of her own and goes out all weekend, every weekend and some nights through the week as well. The children are not left on their own but are with their dad. She is missing out on them growing up and they have an absent mother 😢

[@michaelhamilton1523]

She’s a couple decades younger than me but damn it if this song doesn’t hit hard for us middle aged people.

[@anavelesque]

If Mother Nature had a voice, that'd be yours, Monica.

[@howardwhitehead2167]

She has a beautiful voice,who should be amongst the best.❤😊

[@BudoReflex]

How is she not famous as Christ? This is profound and god like.

[@BonchegoBonchego]

I love this song.

[@BonchegoBonchego]

I discovered this song like a week ago, and if there's a song that shows how I've been feeling, it would be this.

[@howardwhitehead2167]

A beautiful track this angle,and her band has put out,but know one seems to notice. Uncompassionate people.😮

[@BigBxx]

I can't think of a more beautiful song. I just wish it was 15 minutes long so i didn't have to keep clicking on repeat.

[@PhillipJBergeron]

Pretty sure that was the most beautifully I've ever heard anyone say "fuck it"

[@tymewaisanen]

Someone finally said it

[@carolinaromeroespinoza8585]

James Corden on Hot Ones... where´s my people?

[@haggybaggymama]

I went and listened to this song ... I bawled. It's such a beautiful song. I can understand Tanner's tears ... It really hits the heart! ❤

[@a_thomas3584]

So is anyone else from James Corden's Hot Ones episode? Absolutely beautiful song.

[@charleswalker4574]

yep

[@Lovesittingdown]

I don’t understand how you haven’t taken over the world yet, truly. Unreal

[@bnjmnwst]

I see Monica Martin, I watch the video, I click Like.

[@inae84baby]

James Corden thank you for mentioning this song! I love it. Monica, you have a new fan!

[@LeeRow19]

This song is special!! The words the piece of music is stunning Thanks James Corden & hot ones 💙👊

[@artful1967]

here from James Cordon on Hotwings

[@chessbeatboxtv]

Imagine having the most expressive male singer and producer of our time as your personal backing singer. Thats how good Monica and this song is! I also love how you can hear little influences of the people she met on her way, like I can always hear a little Theo and Khushi in her Songwriting/singing (Not saying that its unoriginal!!!)

[@chessbeatboxtv]

I dont understand this, is this an answer to a deleted comment??

[@robertoseveno]

True that

[@Ashpedz]

Imagine a song like this having 200k views and a song about a very wet vagina having a billion views.... I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[@eldarnagar7580]

My life goal is now to see those two marvelous musicians in a small jazz club while sipping red wine and just melting to my chair. Then I could die peacefully.

[@ejohnson722]

Jesus Christ I can’t stop bawling

[@mitchtucker]

In the bridge James Blake totally went to say "meaning" instead of wisdom lool only just noticed that. Still so perfect.

[@Peter-qj7yn]

I showed this to my mum and she teared up. I love this song very, very dearly, but the fact that it meant so much to my mother means a great deal more to me than any one song ever could. Thank you.

[@milesnapue]

This is what James was talking about, love it.

[@TaylorAshtonMusic]

4:16 HANDS DOWN my favorite time anybody has ever sung the phrase "rock & roll"

[@jameswalker2357]

Only she could make it sound this good

[@jamesmyers8971]

It’s… strange… the things that bring us all together. Hot ones to here. I love you all truly, go easy kids, it’s only rock n roll…❤

[@Daphoid]

Here from James Cordon's Hot Ones Interview on 2022-11-10 :) - Great song!

[@blackbeantree]

How did they do this? I thought the original was achingly beautiful. This is exquisite. Like listening to the light shining through a stained glass window

[@clayredwood5808]

Beautiful description ❤

[@BarbDonnelly]

Chillingly beautiful. When a piece of music can physically move you to slight tearing up and hairs raised on one's skin... that means it is good, REAL good.

[@MrG22]

James Corden and Hots Ones brought me here!

[@BudoReflex]

Doesn’t get old

[@TheKouroshs]

Probably the best lyrics that I have heard in a very long time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@tymewaisanen]

I second this ❤

[@kaiklutz800]

i will never listen to this song and not get emotional, i’ve been having a bad time in my household lately and being told to go easy kid makes me feel cared about

[@sparkycjb]

Sent here from James Corden's Hot ones interview shout out. Not disappointed.

[@WaveIO]

me too

[@masatoshishoji8271]

Brandi Carlile introduced this performance. So, I fell in love with your music💕

[@dwightmaciv4789]

Coming back every day 😘😘😘😘 so get use to me saying my comments love yuh Monica

[@KaldenBergMusic]

Beyond beautiful. I can't express how deeply connected, heartbreaking and motivating this song is all at once. It's songs like these that push me to keep creating. Thank you.

[@robertantonnyc]

Loving the way her voice breaks throughout this, so pretty and vulnerable. Where have you been all my life?

[@Unherist]

Being a fan of James Blake, Spotify recommended me this the other day. I'm so glad they did! Stunningly beautiful! And it's not even at 10k views here? Wtf? Edit : syntaxe

[@Porterhaus]

Criminally few views for sure.

[@Serbinnhio]

No worry friends, we know that number of views doesn’t equate to quality of music. This is beyond beautiful.

[@eros-up5jg]

Hot ones brought me here. What a beautiful song

[@Peat_42]

The feeling and lyrics of this are incredible. Perfectly sum up that fear of failing at life while trying to enjoy the moment and being melancholic about missed chances and maybes but being able to laugh at them. This is beautiful. Thank you Monica and the collab with James just elevates this even higher.

[@rissav123]

James Gordon sent me and I’m here to stay ❤

[@obedlopez4447]

Found this song thanks to Hot ones with James Corden ❤

[@MrPur3d]

Imagine the two of them perform this live together

[@xmlviking]

I love this song so much and TY James Corden.

[@jessgiesler1077]

Love how they both had to hold the quiet at the end even though they were definitely ready to laugh at how awesome that turned out. Collaboration work is so much fun and brings such a wild joy.

[@yashdoshi2105]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Hot One's Fam!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@JochenVogel]

It's heartwarming to find a new song that continues the tradition of the Great American Songbook. Wunderschön!

[@MrThomopoulos]

“Go easy kid, it’s only rock and roll”. ❤️

[@jameswalker2357]

Just saw her play a few songs at the Largo and was blown away. It's rare I'm as moved as I am by a new music discovery. Ridiculously talented and powerful artist.

Co-written by none other than Vulfmon's new BFF Jacob Jeffries! He sure knows how to pick collaborators

[@altairtheeagle]

Beautiful woman ❤

[@jeremydesmond4275]

Love it, song was nailed to the cross. Great lyrics and yet some of my favorite parts are when she sings her fills off mic. Thanks Mon, thanks Jim!

[@jacquer0se]

This song and preforance is sooo amazing and deserves 1000x the views it has!!

[@qbencjusz]

James Corden and Hots Ones brought me here too

[@threadpusher]

Cinematic, beautiful, an instant standard. I’ve listened on repeat about 6 times before writing this.

[@AnalogX64]

First We Feast and James Corden brought me here :)

[@Cuposad]

I first discovered you when you released the audio for “Cruel” and I have loved your music ever since 🙏🏼 your voice is great for soothing my anxiety and depression, and this song is great. Thank you

[@foop145]

James Corden's Hot Ones episode brought me here. Probably the only positive impact he's ever had on my life, but goddamn, it's a good one. Never subscribed to a music channel faster in my life.

[@nathanmetus2989]

How is there this few views and comments so far. Share far and wide folks. These two are making melodic beautiful music with their TALENT. Imagine that. Amazing compilation and harmonies. Thankyou to you both.

[@ricardofarinha8922]

Listened the cover of Karma Police in Scary Pockets channel and here I am trying to listen everything where Monica sings. Such an amazing singer. And this song is so so so amazing.

[@sheltomdearagao4753]

I'm so happy to see Monica's new videos!!!! Thank you, Monica! Hugs from Brazil.

[@peterkatow3718]

Beauty is the idea's sensual appearance.

[@anemandaane5183]

sublime

[@The-Portland-Daily-Blink]

Came here on the recommendation of James Corden, from his appearance on Hot Wings the other day. He was right, great song.

[@spence7559]

Why does this have 16k views and only 900 likes?

[@isabelaguilar2957]

This song had me crying at the office from no where. Simply beautiful

[@trexmeemo5609]

Monica, you deserve more views. You're a GENIUS!!! And of course! Hat's off to James Blake!!! ❤️ I'm lucky to listen this before it reaches a Billion.

[@user-jc6zm8lr9b]

I listen to this one and my mind stops racing and I feel grounded in the present. I get to appreciate the moment.

[@ozzyg82]

i’m gonna have to try to learn this on piano.

[@cindyinencinitas4082]

I saw her Friday night at the Rady Shell and she is amazingly talented and adorable. See her if you can.

[@arlenmoss1279]

Exquisite.

[@gator1dl]

This is goosebumps good. Introduced to her by (I think) a substitute dj on a Sirius xmu's Saddest Factory Radio

[@kingqeux]

Stunning lyrics, stunning artists. Wow. Please bless us with more beautiful music in the midst of a very sad world.
