Lyrics:
I’ve gotten used to feeling like I’m crazy - or just lazy. Why can’t I get off this floor? Think straight anymore? Out on the street, I went walking in a punishing heat -nobody meets my eyes except witty signs and luxury designs. Every neon sign every flashing light tries to fool you. Get you on their side, everybody swears they need you - and only you - to make the buy. You feel flattered to be wanted and you don’t know why - it reminds me of that look, that look in your eyes. Never enough in a world without trust, having to rely upon the lightning flash of lust - like it’s almost the same as love. Every neon sign every flashing light tried to fool me. There I was - just stretching out my mind to take in every wounded story. Nothing needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, drifting, unmoored from real life. Begging, begging somebody to keep it alive. Living rough in a world without trust, having to rely upon the honesty of lust. You had to make yourself wanted, to get what you wanted. Now you got me - this broken prize, clinging to you but blank in the eyes, want is a feeling you can’t take alive. Till I fell out of desire like a slipped knot I fell out of desire and nothing caught I fell out of the fire wasn’t even hot I could feel nothing nothing nothing nothing naught. My want was honest - you tried to direct it. But it was connected - to something I can’t explain, immersed in all my pain, like a root in a ceiling drain breaking apart everything. I never knew it - I tried so hard to cut through it. Never enough in a world without trust, determined broken open and refusing to adjust - I swear to god I saw real love once. But nothing needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, drifting, unmoored from real life - if nobody believes it all it can do is die.

"but nothing needs you so badly as a lie" The Weather Station is back

[@aceTL87]

Thank you for continuing to make such good music!

[@perspicaciouscritic]

The Weather Station never sounded so good or so mesmerizing as they do here, and directing team Tamara Lindeman & Jared Raab manage to capture the childlike, helter-skelter chaos and curiosity of the human mind better than any of their contemporaries.

[@t3hsp00n]

Lost count of how many times I've listened to this since it came out. Stoked for a new album.

[@minhquanguyen]

Modern day Joni Mitchell vibes. Love it.

[@AmberExista]

The lyrics are most amazing as usual. Honestly some of the best lyrics I ever read in any artist.

[@RadiostatsApp]

Cool!! Did you know that this track was played on Rock Energy Channel in Rome, Italy!

[@wren_stone]

wow! Incredible video and song. hell yeah

[@whowereweagain]

Beautiful song and lyrics, nothing nothing nothing 💓

[@Nick_Paradise_Real]

Incredible song and video ❤

[@Sunset4Semaphores]

This is brand new music!!! Give me a copy and let me in the band. 😂🎉❤😢

[@andrewkiefer607]

Just f*cking amazing song.

[@revolverbarhomeclubbing2143]

[@thewizardmountain]

This video kinda looks like it was filmed in Parkdale! (Toronto). I'm probably wrong tho

[@strayferal]

On a second listen: I checked some older songs of yours and must say I like this new direction you take with this song much more. I only am curious what cameras were used to shot this. I know it is challenging as this is a night video, plus he edited it to look a bit retro. I really love the concept, but some things are a bit too blurry (I know for some of them it's intentional) and I suspect KZbin crunched it a little bit more too.

[@donaldteed35]

You realize you're only talking about the video. This is a band. The music did not "take a new direction". This must be from the same generation that thinks their car is an iPhone accessory and can do a complete car review purely while parked.

[@CobustBustjack]

A little harsh here. Tamara has been an incredible song writer from day one but you can’t deny the music took a new direction. The first couple records are basically folk records with Tamara solo acoustic on many songs. The sound of this song and the last record are way different from those records: you’ve now got a full band, strings, wood woods, two drummers, and a full blown production. I personally love the development of this project as I’ve been along for the ride but you can’t deny it’s different, in fact very different than previous records.

So this is "Smack My B1tch Up" from the headcrab perspective. God thank you for the Weather Station!

[@richardpage9502]

Impressive soundscape. Wish the Spotify version started the same as this rather than jump to the lyrics.

[@TheWeatherStation]

Wait for the full album - it's there :)

[@richardpage9502]

@ thanks. Seeing all these lists of top songs and albums of 2024. Zero credibility unless yours is included.

[@jeffruebens8355]

The video reminded me of the new Wild Robot movie, similar to Wall-E but because it is newer the artwork is even better. You have to look close to notice it is after climate change buried the Golden Gate Bridge in water and most people are gone from this area. There is a city of robots sending robots to a distant city of people.

[@Yalter777]

Its me sometimes like this video

[@Yalter777]

Bar drunked song?

[@robbiewarden]

Boring. Skipped a full one minute before it starts. Who directed, D.W. Griffith? 🤣

[@Hunter_McNeil]

Different strokes for different folks. I thought this track was fantastic. Now I want to know what you find to be interesting.
