Lyrics
When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
And there ain’t a single ‘nother soul around
I wanna dig into my guitar bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything

When I'm by myself and it’s daytime cuz down-under
Or wherever it is I live when it's evening
You know I speed-read the morning news and come up with my own little song also
...too

When I step outside to a beautiful morning
Where the trees are all waggin’, my hair-flag waving
The scenery ragin’, my life/love cascading, and the smog hangs
Over everything

When I'm outside in a real good mood
You could almost forget bout all the other things
Like a big old ominous cloud in my periphery

Don’t wanna talk about it
Simultaneous I shout it

When I was young I liked to hear music blarin'
And I wasnt carin to neuter my jams with earplugs
But these days I inhabitate a high-pitched ring over things
So these days I plug em up

When I'm strugglin with my songs I do the same thing too
And then I crunch em up in headphones, cause why wouldnt you?
You could say I hear you on several levels at high decibels
Over everything

When I'm all alone on my own by myself
And there and another single one around I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs...
Over everything

    I've been coming back to this song for years now... Just absolutely everything about it, song, video... perfection. So much poetry in there. Intention. It's lovely.
  • @thorstenhaas4446
    I love how Kurt and Courtney play this stream-of-consciousness-slacker-sound and scoop up this blasting epic finale!
  • @killerkali2007
    a true lesson in Indy rock..kinda country, tasteful, intelligent lyrics, free form vibes, light flourishes of jangling over driven guitars..what's not to love.

    I see lots of comments on how great this music is (correct!) but I want to give props to the visual pleasure, the concept, the beauty of the video as well.

    “When I’m outside in a real good mood, you can almost forget ‘bout all the other things, like a big ol’ ominous cloud in my periphery..” God, what a line.
  • I was in jail for a brief period this song immediately relieved me of depression that’s definitely a powerful song and anxiety and when I first heard this in radio I was writing as many words down as I could so I could listen to it when I got out. Bravo
  • I don't know much about Kurt Vile, but just seeing him gigging with Courtney…that alone really elevates him in my eyes.
  • @iakusz
    Courtney just looks like the type of human being that makes the world a little bit better

    lost pretty much everything in the virgin islands during irma. a friend sent me to israel for 7 weeks and walking around the desert near the dead sea i ran across this song. it changed everything. it was the moment..."i got this." thanks, Kurt and Courtney. you guys are the shit., and you cats have a new fan that will probably hang around for every new song. cheers

    I'm a 78 year old relic from the Little Richard era. I've followed music through the ages and I have to say that Courtney Barnett is the first musician to REALLY impress me for quite a while. Other loves are Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Caro Emerald. So you see, I have good taste. Kurt's brilliant too.
  • their friendship is so pure. i love those little inflections and faces they make when they're lip-syncing each others' parts. it's clear they know each other well and love to goof on each other
  • @diawalker
    My life just improved by watching this video
  • @johngrunwell6101
    When they sing in harmony on that third verse, well, that's just magic. Damn.
  • @MarbGuitar
    Best collaboration ever! The music world finally got a Kurt and Courtney again!
  • The Australian Invasion has begun, Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Courtney Barnett, Pond, Tal Wilkenfeld, I swear a rock and roll boom is right around the corner, these are the sounds of tomorrow and now.

    Love it, these two go together like peanut butter and bananas
