of Montreal - it's different for girls [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

[@Oliviaturtle1]

Kevin Barnes said their 11 year old daughter was the inspiration for this song. I love this song, and the music video just solidifies all the reasons I love it!

Still waiting for the Weird Al parody called “It’s different for squirrels.”

[@theRiver_joan]

Thank you Kevin Barnes for making music that has gotten me through genuinely the worst periods of my life, and still continues to do so. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

[@chelseacarboni6432]

Everytime they come out with a new song, I get super scared because I'm afraid it might not be good, because a lot of musicians are like that... but I'm never, ever disappointed. I love this song so fucking much.

[@MagicTurtle643]

Agreed, however I was slightly disappointed with Aureate Gloom.... but don't tell them I said that! I love everything else they've done, OM is the best :D *looks around nervously

[@chelseacarboni6432]

They are! And I get to see them my 3rd time in September :3

[@MagicTurtle643]

Lucky! I saw them once in St. Louis for the False Priest tour. It was amazing. Janelle Monet opened for them.

[@dknwx]

My feelings exactly.

[@nc8192]

Oh no! I LOVED Aureatte Gloom! I think every record has a life of it's own, it's almost unfair to compare one to another. i feel the same way about Lousy, it's just different. I love love love this record, and will see them for the fourth time next week.

[@SomeoneCalledDana]

Admittedly different from the strange fantasy of other of Montreal videos, this one works well with the song in that it has a clear statement to make-and I love it. People are people and deserve to be celebrated, love is love, and Kevin Barns is masterful; that's what I took away from this

[@dianadeavilapalafox9597]

[@indigoglass]

I recently had the pleasure of seeing of Montreal live and they opened with this song, my favorite! It was an incredible show, the best I've been to in a while.

[@SharkSuitJoker]

Glad you got to see them! They put on such a wonderful show I agree. I've seen them two or three times and Kevin always puts on one of the most fun shows ever!!! :)

[@hunzren]

They have been my favorite band for over a decade. This is one of the many reasons why.

[@donaldmcdonald3434]

lol at all the people who think this is tounge in cheek or has a different meaning or "some joke" when this is like one of the most straight forward songs they've ever written. your favorite band is feminist get over it

[@LittleDinkens]

i dont think theres anyone out there like you're describing... if you see Kevin in any one of his outfits i think its clear OM is pro gay and pro woman... they have an lp called the gay parade... cmon now

[@luciusjamalgreye]

@@LittleDinkens Ya and gay parade is essentially about how gay people are portrayed as and encouraged to be freakish.

[@kevinschultz9104]

This isn't feminist, brah. This is another straight white boy claiming he understands women while objectifying them. "All of them are gods" nah, buddy, they're just people. Don't make anyone out to be better or worse based on any identity assignment, that just furthers the division. This song is actually really fucking ignorant. Then again, I'm also a straight white boy, so I can't say...

[@luciusjamalgreye]

@@jakermon1014 LOL well here's a tip : don't mix music with politics,it's dopey and you'll miss out on a lot if reasons to dance.

[@gold3nrul311]

No to me this song isn't about making fun of "girls" it's about making fun of guys putting girls on a pedestal even gay guys, it's the naivete of idolizing girls that's the subject not girls themselves, but it's fun, it's just poking fun

[@honeybun9077]

LYRICS [Verse 1] It's different for girls They've got sensitive language They've built miles of defenses They're not numbed by oppression It's different for girls From when they are children, they're depersonalized Aggressively objectified They want to make a scene They want to be adored And then they want to be left alone when they get bored with that It's different for girls They are mercurial creatures, not a masculine dissonance Or sexual currency [Chorus] Though some of them are demons, all of them are gods Though some demons are women For every one psycho bitch, there's ten thousand aggro pricks It's different for girls [Verse 2] It's different for girls They don't spit on the streets They don't piss on the seat They don't have to size up every person they meet Or create an elite Or poison the game so no one else can compete They like chaos and mystery And they like to combine them Sometimes they act crazy But that doesn't define them It's different for girls They're not expected to fight They're expected to sit and take some lesser man's shit Though it don't feel right No, it don't feel right [Chorus] Though some women are demons, all of them are god Though some demons are women For every one psycho chick, there's ten thousand hateful pricks [Bridge] It's different It's different It's different Yeah, it's different for girls It's different for girls

My current fav song. Never would have heard it without that DJ Midnightt played it a few months ago on her "Garden of Good and Evil" radio show, WQFS in Greensboro, the Guilford College Radio Station. It gets air about once every two weeks here despite our towns' provincial nature. A Really Great Song!!

[@palomarivera5475]

[@jadetrueblood3393]

I have never felt so seen by a song.

[@quailrabbits3693]

I interpretted the meaning of the song to be along the lines of: its better to be female than male and more of an ode to the generalizations and way women think. Yet women are still marginalized by the ever-present patriarchal force. The singer and party is ultimately celebrating what it would be like to live in a world void of the masculine confines of society. AKA This is a feminist song.

[@ericanorton5077]

[@MonroeEskew]

I feel like, through the years, of Montreal has been telling a joke that no one gets.

[@rg0057]

So... really bad at humour then.

[@patrickbarrow9060]

Only time will tell.

[@jekylwhispy]

I think i get it. His lyrics always make so much sense to me. Its like Bowie sorta

[@MonroeEskew]

rg0057 just over so many heads

[@missunderstood5833]

Jekyl Whispy I have felt for a long time that of Montreal is a strange extension of Bowie's music and vision of what music could and should be. I am an avid fan of both so maybe I'm bias but such ethereal and mystic music from both artists. Can't get enough of this music and always love seeing the changes going on. Bowie changed so much throughout his career, his early stuff being down right folk. It's great, I wish it was easier to find more musicians with this level of talent and creativity but I suppose that is what makes these guys special in such a saturated music scene.
