The song "i feel like a woman" is by Mary Wander, it's their solo project. You can find it on one of their early albums, but they just released an album as well! You can find a ton of great Mary Wander stuff on their bandcamp ❤
Just here to drop a comment and a like. YT algorithm do your thing. A year ago I didn't know actual real music was still being produced and now I'm in love
THIS! IS! ABSOLUTELY! AMAZING! They remind me of like...okay so imagine like treating yourself to a very pricey sipping whiskey and an eighty dollar cigar whilst reclining in a wonderfully comfortable chair as you watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? on one TV screen and SLC Punk on another simultaneously. Also theres a penguin there.
I don't normally listen with headphones and right now I am but I haven't normally heard that heard that harmony on the album version and it's really nice. Love it
I'm not sure if this was ever an element Apes considered to this song, But for me as an ADHD and ASD diagnosed person, This is what romantic relationships feel like for me 😂. This feels like the song I would write for basically any crush I ever had The elements Im not certain they meant if course being the ADHD and ASD
The problem with "folk punk" is it belongs neither to the folk/people (this is easily the least working-class shit ever) nor to punk (this is too polished - its about as legitimately punk as "pop punk").

Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved
And I wanted to ask you about it
But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth
And you called me out for being bad at listening
So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen
And that I think that you are really cute
And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but
I don't really have that much to lose
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
and I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention
and I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when we talked and I listened
yeah I listened
so this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had inside my head
like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color
and that you have been sad for as long as you remember
and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when you're depressed
and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you had sat next to me on the couch
And I'm scared that this list is too long
That I can't fit all these things into a song
And still keep your attention
So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate
Just how well that I listened
Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from feeling sad all the time
And that your favorite flowers are impatiens
And that when you love somebody you wait
Patiently for them
And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption
And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn
And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date
And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this and I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie because I care
What you think about me
And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision
Be your next poor decision
Be your next poor decision
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and
I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta
Cause you said you really liked them when we talked
And I listened
Yea, I listened
Interesting band. Never heard of them until today. Watching from London UK. 🇬🇧

Good stuff, actually started listening to these guys quite recently. Really solid band, there's not a single bad song in their repertoire.

Oof.
The problem with "folk punk" is it belongs neither to the folk/people (this is easily the least working-class shit ever) nor to punk (this is too polished - its about as legitimately punk as "pop punk").
The lat song should have been song buy a guy
