Courtney Barnett - Over Everything Lyrics






When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
And there ain't a single 'nother soul around
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything

When I'm by myself and it's daytime cuz down-under
Or wherever it is I live when it's evening
You know I speed-read the morning news and come up with my own little song also
...too

When I step outside to a beautiful morning
Where the trees are all waggin', my hair-flag waving
The scenery ragin', my life/love cascading, and the smog hangs
Over everything

When I'm outside in a real good mood
You could almost forget 'bout all the other things
Like a big old ominous cloud in my periphery

Don't wanna talk about it
Simultaneous I shout it

When I was young I liked to hear music blarin'
And I wasn't carin' to neuter my jams with earplugs
But these days I inhabitate a high-pitched ring over things
So these days I plug 'em up

When I'm strugglin' with my songs I do the same thing too
And then I crunch 'em up in headphones, cause why wouldn't you?
You could say I hear you on several levels at high decibels
Over everything

When I'm all alone on my own by myself
And there ain't another single one around
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything

Courtney Barnett Over Everything Comments
  1. C.... A....

    Her voice is so low and his is so high...Oh wait, I see what you did there... ha ha.

  2. R.... S....

    Two questions:
    Where's the restaurant?
    Where's the bridge?

  3. c.... s....

    Kurt with a Fender Jaguar ? ;p

    c.... s....

    That's a great one to play

  4. J.... D....

    This song is dope AF.

  5. P.... M....

    Chrissy Hynde

  6. J.... M....

    The Melbourne Director of Photography, Sherwin Akbarzadeh, did a remarkable job of finding locales for this video. the scenes 1t 4:02 and, in particular, 4:17 were just glorious....

  7. g.... ....

    0:16 Kurt's smile makes life just a little better.

    Also, I think the video
    starts getting funny here 0:32 😝😝😂😂😂

    This is a beautiful song...quickly becoming one of my favorites.

  8. J.... F....

    Long hair :who wear it better ?

  9. j.... g....

    Best slacker vibe ever. Time melts away.

  10. s.... ....

    Love this video, nice scenery

  11. C.... L....

    She's cute. 😍

  12. M.... S....

    It's so weird to see people saying Kurt and Courtney when not talking about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.

  13. r.... r....

    Courtney makes a great impersonation of bob dylan

  14. J.... B....

    Big old ominous cloud in my periphery. I know this feeling. I live in England . I am in love.

  15. J.... B....

    I fucking love , love , love this . Big time ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.

  16. x.... x....

    This is why good songs are 6 minutes long. Just sucking you in as each layer builds... awesome.

  17. J.... K....

    Started watching speeches on economics - and after following about 35-40 suggestions in the last two hours I now find myself listening to something I have never heard before - and it's freaking good.

  18. A.... S....

    Courtney hits puberty

  19. b.... ....

    which one is which

  20. M.... M....

    my favourite courtney and kurt

  22. f.... ....

    finn wolfhard has *chef kiss* amazing taste

  23. R.... R....

    The "keyhole" @ 4:06

  24. J.... B....

    Beautiful visuals, wonderful chord structures, seemingly honest lyrics. What we have here is a couple dorks and a few friends and a nice place to be. And I mean dorks in the nicest way.

  25. Z.... ....

    Now I'm disappointed they don't make grunge

  26. j.... d....

    CND and environmental awareness at it's best. 60's band couldn't do it better.

  27. M.... D....

    Kurt and Courtney....

    Just like the singer of Nirvana and Hole

    M.... D....

    Oh Shit! I didnt even realize!!! WOW! Mind blown

    First time for me this video and band is magic. Fender telecaster everywhere.

  46. R.... S....

    I love you both, great video
    Could you release a version of the video where the voices are not swapped?
    Liked the ideia very much, just would be great to see you and Kurt with your own voices
    You rulle...

  47. A.... B....

    The thumbs down stance is perplexing. I dance,and I love.Thank you for this sound.

  50. D.... Z....

    L♡VE this song and vid to the moon, but I wonder if they shot an alternate version of them singing their own parts...? I want to see it ;)

  51. n.... ....

    Two musical genius's

  52. M.... C....

    Did Richard Clapton invent a time machine?

  53. A.... A....

    Kesini gara gara mas Syifasativa.

  54. k.... ....

    a true lesson in Indy rock..kinda country, tasteful, intelligent lyrics, free form vibes, light flourishes of jangling over driven guitars..what's not to love.

  55. C.... C....

    This song is addictive

  56. V.... H....

    I really love this. So perfect right now, for me.

  57. c.... ....

    I'm reminded of when I was younger.

  58. A.... 1....

    Holy ManGina... it's Rosanne's youngest Conner Chick,,, keepin it real

  59. c.... ....

    this song came on this french radio station my art teacher plays in the background of class the other day and it reminded me of this song and this video and honestly its just superb. I love that I see my life in courtney's backgrounds and I love reading that philly people see their lives in kurt's backgrounds. and just like the shots are beautifully composed and i love black and white at the moment and the lil aboriginal flag on courtney's guitar I am Obsessed

  60. B.... ....

    Can’t help but be inspired by this song.

  61. R.... M....

    I have the album but I keep coming back to watch this because it makes me smile so much.

  62. P.... K....

    Love this thanks finn #amoeba

  63. J.... D....

    Love CB and KV. For more KV check out "Girl Called Alex."

  64. J.... A....

    Courtney is doing excellently with her own band as seen in Nimes this year and Kirt is an expert at the big US guitar sound such a couple of fab entertainers!

  65. S.... S....

    sounds like pavement stuff

  66. a.... A....

    why someone dislike this song?

  67. N.... T....

    Capos trouble me.

  68. M.... ....

    Kurt looks like a ugly chick...but sounds like lou reed

  69. A.... W....

    Timeless

  70. J.... Z....

    As someone from Philly, and a massive fan of the both of them, this video is easily in my top 10 favorite music videos. So simple yet so cool and creative

    J.... Z....

    .......what does being from philly have to do with anything?

    J.... Z....

    Skeets All of Kurt’s scenes are shot in and around Philly, which is where he’s from. It’s cool to see my hometown in a music video

    J.... Z....

    Ahhh my b 😶

  71. a.... ....

    finally some music for me... Courtney is my best discovery. And Kurt Vile sounds like Lou Reed... they are just too good...

  72. T.... V....

    So when are you two going to reunite and start putting it out again. You need each other. This is your greatest work so far.

  73. A.... B....

    Courtney is most definitely the cutest person I've ever seen. And Kurt just rocks live always.

  78. h.... L....

    Alors les frenchies
    Aucun commentaire pour un des titres phares de l'album de la décennie?
    Ben oui, y'en a pas d'autres...

  79. g.... ....

    This video has made me laugh since the first time.

  80. E.... Z....

    I just stumbled upon this and I'm so glad I did. They had me going at first with the switched up voices. What a great song, and great video to watch.

  81. A.... M....

    Does kurt tune a half step down or courtney tune a half step up? Their guitars are capo'd at different frets.

  82. t.... t....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHilkoEasko

  83. B.... E....

    we need more of this!!!

  84. T.... B....

    Y'all are my faves. Ya idiots.

  85. M.... O....

    Come on...

  86. R.... ....

    Come on people now, smile on your brother everybody get together try to love one another right now.

    R.... ....

    I just took a piss on my doormat.

  87. R.... E....

    I keep coming back to this - some of the most beautiful photography I've ever seen in a music video

  88. S.... J....

    SHE LOOKS LIKE CATELYN STARK

  89. T.... ....

    The switched voices cracked me up. Love it!

  90. S.... S....

    Amazing musicians, you don't hear to often these days. They sure mesh well together and the guitar playing is so good. Fucking talented! Great on the ears.

  91. R.... O....

    This song and video are awesome! New favs!

  92. D.... S....

    I love this so much. Makes me properly laugh. Love it.

  93. G.... G....

    Great!! :))))))

  94. T.... B....

    The inverse of the vocals to the video and who is 'singing' is, I would say, a first. I dig.

  95. M.... D....

    i'm in love with courtney barnett

  96. b.... ....

    Totally love these two together. Clearly enjoying vibing together.

  97. D.... J....

    It seems the song is overly long just so they can make a long video.

  98. F.... ....

    I hope they’re paying Stephen Malkmus some deserved royalties...
