    LYRICS
    Press play on the rest of the day
    Hurry up and wait for your next scene
    Not great
    Couldn’t keep my face straight
    And I know very well that it’s
    ‘Show and Don’t Tell’ on the big screen
    When all of the lines you’ve learned are
    bleeding on the cutting room floor
    There’s no star on the door
    Good God!
    Who are you making this for?
    I spend all day putting out fires
    Listening to choirs singing
    The soundtrack blaring
    And I spend all night
    Cutting up edits
    Watching the credits to find direction
    In my existence
    It’s just a story I don’t quite believe
    Full of plotholes and constant monotony
    Who’s going to root for this unlikeable lead?
    Not them, not me, not likely
    Maybe it’s something we can fix in post
    Or we can get take after take
    ‘til the cows come home
    Shut the door
    I’m feeling overexposed
    Now they all know
    All of the tears you’ve cried but
    You can’t quite make it happen on cue
    The pain never comes through
    Good God!
    When you’re needing it to
    I spend all day putting out fires
    Listening to choirs singing
    The end is nearing
    And I spend all night cutting up edits
    Watching the credits to find direction
    In my existence
    Credits
    Produced by Jonathan Pearce
    Violin by Charmian Keay, arranged by Benjamin Sinclair
    Mixed by Bevan Smith
    Mastered by Joe Lambert

    Every year, my family goes to a beach area on the east coast, and stays for a week. We go to the beach and a general store to buy stuff each day. My immediate family rents a beach house each year. And whenever we go, and im the first one awake in the morning, I just sit on the couch and listen to this. It just makes the vibes 20x better

What venues did your band play? Me and my roommate went to all sorts of places, taking it all in. One was so badly lit and smoky, that you couldn’t even see the musicians on stage! And I won’t even go into my first concert at the Gorge. Lol.

    Barack Obama just posted his Summer music playlist and this song was on it! No idea how he came across it. I mean, it's obscure indie pop and pretty much only played on student radio in NZ, although I'd never heard it before even on BFM in NZ.

    • @johngiven7332
      @johngiven7332 Год назад +6

      The Beths are pretty eclectic, but this is a good example of power pop. Classic songs in the 90s that are in this style would include "There She Goes" by the LAs, "Solar Sister" by the Posies, "Mexican Wine" by Fountains of Wayne, numerous songs from Jellyfish, Matthew Sweet, XTC and others. ruclips.net/video/BMhK2enxy4g/видео.html
