_"If touch could make them hear, then touch me now."_ A bit of a tangent here but as a little kid I used to get anxious trying to avoid thinking sad introspective shit like mortality when I'm sitting or lying on my mom's lap, in fear that she could hear my thoughts because our skins are touching.
There aren't many verses and yet the lyrics say so much, I think a lot of women have sadly felt that way where their feelings weren't heard because the partner was too focused on their physicality and reducing them to their bodies
Similarly, I've been in a situation in high school where some dude named Levi made some lewd jokes towards me and grabbed my thigh a few times. He made those jokes with a straight face, and never did this with anyone else. Like Clairo, I desired an emotional connection, but got taken advantage of instead. I am also male, for reference.
_”Funny now I’m just useless and a whore”_ *ways this abusive partner would degrade her and I’m sure many people who have been in that type of relationship can relate to this song* 🤍
I really admire the differences between all of claire's writing, this song is so soft and conveys so much emotion, wanting to be heard emotionally when one instead reaches for physical intimacy instead. They're not substitutes for eachother, they're two apart
Well, there is the existence of sexual intimacy, which basically combines emotional and physical intimacy. With that said, the problem at stake is that the perpetrator was moving too fast, had absolutely no regard for Clairo's feelings, and took advantage of her vulnerability, so what could've evolved turned into a nightmare.
[Verse 1] Here we are, quiet at your kitchen table With courtesy to little pet peeves Napkins on laps, the strands pulled back I hang the scarf and my mom's anorak [Chorus] Why do I tell you how I feel? When you're just looking down my blouse It's something I wouldn't say out loud If touch could make them hear, then touch me now If touch could make them hear, then touch me now [Verse 2] Talking to some who laugh and others scorned I guess humor could help me after all It's funny, now I'm just useless and a whore But I'll get a co-sign from your favorite one-man show [Chorus] Why do I tell you how I feel? When you're too busy looking down my blouse It's something I wouldn't say out loud If touch could make them hear, then touch me now If touch could make them hear, then touch me now If touch could make them hear, then touch me now Now [Outro] Mmm, mmm, mmm Mhm, mhm, mhm, mmm Mmm, mhm, mhm, mhm Mmm, mhm, mhm, mhm
I really thought clairo would pursue a bit more of an alt-rock sound after immunity, but this softer ballad proves her versality. looking forward to the album!
she never fails when it comes to quality. she makes excellent music and i'm not exaggeratin a bit. she's grown so much as an artist and you can hear it easily, specially in her most recent unreleased stuff. she's doing /something/ here. i wish people would pay more attention to her because she's not just your local tiktok indie girl, she's a MUSICIAN. she has a talent here and she's using it wisely, now people need to listen. soo beyond excited for the album!! can't wait
@@user-cw2rr2iv5j yesss the second i saw his name on her ig post i knew this new era is going to be something else... so much more than what i expected honestly. i hope people are willing to listen to her
i love seeing artists be versatile. i know clairo started off with bedroom pop which could be very chill and almost amateur sounding? (not an insult tho i still love bedroom pop) so it’s interesting to hear such a different sound come from her. i’m 22 but i like a lot of older music and idk if anyone else is gonna agree with me here when i say this but this track strangely gives me cat stevens vibes lol especially with the edition of the strings
Such a raw yearning call from Clairo. It's this absolutely desperate need for intimacy that we seem to think can be filled, and we try and give everything we have just for someone to try and fill that void and it still doesn't hold up in the end. Most men give their time and money and plenty women offer their bodies, but we all still feel lonely even in the arms of someone else. Why are we here?
This song touches my soul. The vocal harmonies and the orchestration of the strings are amazing. Such a well-written song as well. What a long way Clairo has come in the past few years. Her development as an artist has been super inspiring to me. I can't wait for what she has in store.
This song is about the over sexualization of women in the work place and not being taken seriously or seen as inferior due to being a woman. In what way is this similar to frolicking in a field with a pretty dress 😭😭
the lyricism has so much depth and somehow it conveys this vivid story that is at the same time so buried deep within. the fact that I still haven’t recovered from “just for today” as well, gosh…the amount of times I went back and listened to that. thank you for these Claire…and the ones to come.
i keep coming back to this song. there’s just something about the way she conveys wanting so desperately for emotional intimacy with someone who just wants the physical :(
this song brought tears to my eyes. it's so incredibly written and so beautifully produced. your voice, the guitar, and the strings. you are absolutely insane clairo.
Te amo tanto, dos años sin tu música me hizo extrañarte tanto, estuviste para mí en una etapa donde no tenía nada, gracias por salvarme de un lugar tan oscuro, tú me diste esa luz que tanto necesitaba, eres mi mundo entero, tu vocecita la amo tantísimo. Te amo mucho, mucho.
i was having a mental breakdown a couple minutes ago, and this popped up in my notifs,, and cant say enough how grateful i am for the perfect timing this was posted :") ,,the instrumentals and her voice blended together comforted me :(( thankyou clairo ,,
@@WalterWhite-ve3ur It means that after being called that way by this person, Claire got a show on Jimmy Fallon to play the song where she is basically calling him out. I guess it refers to the one-man show highlighting the misogyny of the industry.
Been crying to this for hours my chest still hurts Claire I love you so much. You’re such a goat. I’ve been crying tears of pure joy this has never happened before I have absolutely no idea what is happening to me.
I love her song productions, she has the vocal capability to just sing it out blandly but the little details and differences in her recording makes it special, she feels timeless, her music seems like it has traveled backwards. it’s always like finding faint recordings and you play them 100 years later. I love it
Thx so much for this claire!!! I have been going through some tough time trying to find a peace of my mind for quite a few days now and this song just brings so much warmth and comfort to me, so i want to thank you so much for making music and comforting this insignificant person so many countries away. I love you so much!
The verses with the quiet picked guitar and hushed vocals make me think a little of iron and wine's first album, and the strings are beautiful What a beautiful song

When you're just looking down my blouse
It's something I wouldn't say out loud
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
If touch could make them hear, then touch me now
[Verse 2]
Talking to some who laugh and others scorned
I guess humor could help me after all
It's funny, now I'm just useless and a whore
But I'll get a co-sign from your favorite one-man show

it's actually lorde singing the backing vocals
@Gabriel Byrne Phoebe is in Lorde's new song, along with Clairo.
i thought so tooooo
If Lorde's on here and Clairo and Phoebe are both on Solar Power....A chance that Phoebe will be on a song on Sling?
