"I only like you when you break those plates for me" -Stella Donnelly

[@rashmika9742]

The strong Aussie accent brings such flair to her music.

[@faust3530]

I really love hearing my own accent in music, especially in such a cute song like this

[@faust3530]

@Just another nobody there's a fair amount of crossover in the words we use, and certain inflections so I get why you'd make that mistake, but yeah she's from Perth in western Australia I believe

[@rosie.posie96]

Yeah it does!!!!

[@brendanmyers5929]

@Grant I thought it was welsh

[@Seeyatellite]

This song in particular. I think the long, "youu" and how she pronounces "Tadoo" are melodic and fit the lyrics and music perfectly.

[@eddiemorales2457]

Me gusta tu música, Stella. Sigue componiendo así de lindo y cantando también lindo, seguramente los éxitos vendrán, pero, por favor, sigue siendo diferente del resto. Un abrazo y buenos deseos desde Lima, Perú.

🎵🎵🎵 You had dinner at Jude's and you broke all the plates Telling your favourite joke where you break all the plates You threw all of your clothes off the back of the boat You said that you're gonna quit but we know that you won't You won't you won't You only like me when I do my tricks for you And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone You've got all of your ducks lined up in a row Driving back from the job with Kyle and Jackie-O You want all of us to pull you out of the muck You're always wanting a kiss but then you want to get laid Get laid, get laid You only like me when I do my tricks for you And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone You only like me when I do my tricks for you And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone 🎵🎵🎵

Someone listened to The Cardigans growing up..Anyone who digs this should check out literally every cardigans album. Early stuff sounds ALOT like this, and then later stuff adds a more rocky edge feeling to it all.

[@MarxOutThere]

I think that "...laid..." line is a bit clunky, but isn't it supposed to be? Who really knows, I'm just here to see if my house made the cut. Didn't. Locals want to redevelop that concrete drain, but I think it's in so many fashion & artie shots it's almost a local feature. Cool place to do skids with my bike.

[@rambo4916]

this is really good stuff, stella's voice is so charming and upbeat. Besides, the instrumental on their own are perfectly crafted indie-pop tunes, oozing with personality... Oh and amazing chorus on top of that. She seems to me like a less artsy version of U.S. Girls (which is really saying something)
