This song flawlessly reflects my relationship with my wife, who for over 30 years has endured my abstract worries YET still does NOT find me to be too annoying.
I find this song very relatable and it helps to feel like someone else is having these thoghts and feelings. not exactly the same thoughts but, you know, similarly upsetting and consuming ones. edit: so thankyou for this. is what i wanted to say with this comment.
Sounds like he secretly hates his girlfriend. I used to think this way when I dabbled in fatalistic determinism in college. Hopefully he gets a job and the interaction with other human beings pulls him out of his self-constructed mind prison. Pro-tip: the more questions you ask, the more you stop trying to answer the earlier questions.
i don't think he's suggesting that his girlfriend is an airhead - let alone *all* girlfriends. to me it's just pondering - with a series of loosely connected stream-of-consciousness questions and paradoxes - how other people apparently manage to avoid being preoccupied with the sorts of ideas he mentions. i don't read the lyrics as value judgements, or intellectual snobbery - and if there is some kind of sexism, i suppose i missed it. i guess i relate to the song's protagonist, so to some extent i envy the girlfriend's lack of existential angst about chairman mao or charlie manson or all the rest of that stuff.
@@mj.l I agree, I feel the same. I always see the girlfriend as someone he envies and someone who tries to help him with his existencial crisis and this head of his eating him up.

My wife's like this too - pure, and simple and sweet. Thank God for the beautiful women in my life.

I comeback every day or so, honestly just an amazing song.
Thanks for uploading, heard it on BBC R6 and been waiting for it to surface!
Mark Lilly that is my relationship to this song also
Amazing as usual.
oof, heard on 6music and haven't stopped listening.
Hope this is on the new album, due April.
wow wow. this is great!
🔥🔥🔥
This song is sad
New record when?! Please!?
Just noticed he really pushed his voice in this song.
Very funny followup to Don’t Be Upset (itself very funny)
Love this song but I wish it was on Spotify and this is too low volume.
I know man, I will try to upload a louder version. I recorded it from BBC R6
Shetland James Sounds good to me. Big Jeffrey Lewis fan, but i hadn’t heard this before. Thanks so much for uploading it.
Just turn it up
Where is he!
Where'd you find this?
Brandon Burmeister check out 6music session, another new one on there-Exactly What Nobody Wanted. unputdownable, in a listening kind of way

Imagine being this much of a pseudointellectual lmfao

Great one, Jeffrey, but not all girlfriends are airheads.
He's not saying that, he's talking about HIS girlfriend : )
That’s still not what he’s saying though..
