It's been amazing to see the reception of Shape I'm In since we put it out a few months ago. If this song has hit you in some sort of way, you can vote for it to win the NPR Tiny Desk Fan Favorite in the video description.
I first heard you in a backyard in Arlington and I have been following since. I am sad that I will unlikely hear you in such a small venue again, but so happy for your trajectory. Your music touches my old heart. Thank you.
Just saw you perform this at Winnipeg Folk Fest. As a parent of someone who has struggled with his bipolar diagnosis and effects, you had me sobbing. Thank you for your openness and this brilliant song.
I’ve been writing down every move I make And every waking thought And I still haven’t found a through-line How can I explain when all the words I have escape? I’m sorry for the mess I’m sorry for the shape I’m in Every hour, on the hour I have some revelation A communion with a power that I cannot get a break from Damn the experts, and the healers, and my friends I’m sorry that I yelled I’m sorry for the shape I’m in I put to bed the name my parents gave to me And I was once a boy And I will be a grown-up when I get there Tell your god I’ve not forgotten how he made me I’m sorry for my face I’m sorry for the shape I’m in And when I wished that I was gone And I had spent all that you gave me I ugly cried the whole way home I don’t know how I made it Damn the interstate, the hospital, the road I take to work I’m sorry for the hurt I’m sorry for the shape I’m in When the river freezes over in the middle of the summer heat And I am in the throes of it I’m up to late, I’m lower than I’ve ever been Lower than last time I’d found my center and my stride And for a minute it had evened out Told everyone that I was in control And I could hold it in my hands awhile Lower than last time And I swore I heard the angels sing And, lo, the savior comes I ignore the flashing lights and warning signs Drifting higher than I’ve ever been before Higher than last time And the clockwork of my illness is a sick joke I could laugh about until I cry, cry, cry I’m lower than I’ve ever been I’m higher than I’ve ever been I’m lower than I’ve ever been before I’m higher than I’ve ever been I’m lower than I’ve ever been I’m higher than I’ve ever been I’m lower than I’ve ever been before Than I’ve ever been… So won’t you take a look, Won’t you take a long one? Don’t you turn away. Leave a porch light and a pot on. And I cannot behave, I know I give less than I ought to. I know I cannot ask for you to stay but I have got to. I’m sorry for the mess, I’m sorry for the shape I’m in.
I discovered this song a little while ago but I keep coming back to it over and over. These lyrics resonate so beautifully with me and the build up yall make is just crazyyyy. Just AAGGAGAAAAAA beautiful beautiful
As a 14 year old this is what I imagined what Bright eyes would sound like by the time I was 35. Im grateful you guys showed up I’ve been so disappointed all these years waiting for you.
I remember the first time I heard you perform this, I think it was about a year ago at The Pie Shop in DC, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It takes great courage to be this honest, open, and vulnerable in a song. Keep doing what you're doing, you all have a special gift.
I could listen to this for hours, infact I have been this is amazing, I’ve recently found out about your music from your instagram account and I’m already obsessed
This song is so lovely, I'm always on the search for music i can relate to as a trans person, this is by far the song i can relate to the most , its so raw and beautiful ;-;

I’ve been writing down every move I make
And every waking thought
And I still haven’t found a through-line
How can I explain when all the words I have escape?
I’m sorry for the mess
I’m sorry for the shape I’m in
Every hour, on the hour I have some revelation
A communion with a power that I cannot get a break from
Damn the experts, and the healers, and my friends
I’m sorry that I yelled
I’m sorry for the shape I’m in
I put to bed the name my parents gave to me
And I was once a boy
And I will be a grown-up when I get there
Tell your god I’ve not forgotten how he made me
I’m sorry for my face
I’m sorry for the shape I’m in
And when I wished that I was gone
And I had spent all that you gave me
I ugly cried the whole way home
I don’t know how I made it
Damn the interstate, the hospital, the road I take to work
I’m sorry for the hurt
I’m sorry for the shape I’m in
When the river freezes over in the middle of the summer heat
And I am in the throes of it
I’m up to late, I’m lower than I’ve ever been
Lower than last time
I’d found my center and my stride
And for a minute it had evened out
Told everyone that I was in control
And I could hold it in my hands awhile
Lower than last time
And I swore I heard the angels sing
And, lo, the savior comes
I ignore the flashing lights and warning signs
Drifting higher than I’ve ever been before
Higher than last time
And the clockwork of my illness is a sick joke I could laugh about until I cry, cry, cry
I’m lower than I’ve ever been
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
I’m lower than I’ve ever been before
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
I’m lower than I’ve ever been
I’m higher than I’ve ever been
I’m lower than I’ve ever been before
Than I’ve ever been…
So won’t you take a look,
Won’t you take a long one?
Don’t you turn away.
Leave a porch light and a pot on.
And I cannot behave,
I know I give less than I ought to.
I know I cannot ask for you to stay but I have got to.
I’m sorry for the mess,
I’m sorry for the shape I’m in.
I really really hope this is on Spotify one day, this song is so special.
My friend introduced me to this song. If I wasn't cooking in my kitchen right now, I would've started bawling.
This song is so beautiful and raw and powerful, I hope it’s heard by every person who needs it.
One of the coolest songs on the internet. Love y'all
Please put on streaming platforms! This is amazing 🙏
This made me cry like no other song has before
Gosh this makes my heart ache for things I didn’t know I lost. Shout out to the strings 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I discovered this song a little while ago but I keep coming back to it over and over. These lyrics resonate so beautifully with me and the build up yall make is just crazyyyy. Just AAGGAGAAAAAA beautiful beautiful

It's an homage to a song by Houndmouth, and it was one of the first songs they learned together as a band.
