had the pleasure of opening for You Am I twice in Canada - in venues of 400 or less, and to maybe 150 people once and maybe 45 the first and they just kill. The fellas are amazingly nice (Rusty is a bit curt) and their original of this is sublime, but this just takes that and goes even further into the heartbreak...gorgeous
Years ago I met a girl named Kim (from a band called Fur) that supported them on tour for a while as well, and she basically said the same thing. Such a beautiful song, have to admit it's one of my favourites as well. Tim Rogers definitely writes lyrics you feel.
Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball That no one wants to kick around anymore An all day morning hairdo That no comb can get through It's all granola and beer A calling card and a silk cut souvenir I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning when it starts I don't look so good Now I got a heavy heart I talk a lot about football And girls I kissed in grade 4 I piss off my friends and digging a hole Just staring at the floor Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain I'm loving cigarettes again I know every tune about guys and girls And hurts and hearts and moans I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning when it starts I don't look so sharp Now I got a heavy heart It's just a low rent paying Palpitating pulp under my shirt But there's a weight that's sitting Oh, God it hurts, oh, God it hurts Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball That no one wants to kick around anymore I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning when it starts Oh, my heavy heart
I'm guessing no one at this show had ever heard the song before Courtney Barnett's covers always leads you back to the original band or song and in that way she pays tribute to those things that she loves
Beautiful. The song. Courtney. Her voice. Her playing. Everything about this is just gorgeous.
no words...................a tear.....
Not kidding when I say this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard or seen. Magic
@DJC DJC the best Australian band ever.
Worst thing I've ever heard.

Oh Courtney, how many times can I keep falling in love with you over and over again every time I see you.
damn, true
Man I love this song. I can’t count the amount of times I listened to it in high school/uni.
nervous, phenomenal, wonderful . . . one of the few real people in public life
Gives me shivers. Love this woman.
I first saw her November, 2015, Austin City Limits. Thank you, Courtney! You made everything better in the world.
Crowd, "woooo! yeaaaahhh!" Then, "wait who the #*&$ are You Am I?"
Good on ya, Tim!
Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no one wants to kick around anymore
An all day morning hairdo
That no comb can get through
It's all granola and beer
A calling card and a silk cut souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so good
Now I got a heavy heart
I talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in grade 4
I piss off my friends and digging a hole
Just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
I'm loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about guys and girls
And hurts and hearts and moans
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart
It's just a low rent paying
Palpitating pulp under my shirt
But there's a weight that's sitting
Oh, God it hurts, oh, God it hurts
Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no one wants to kick around anymore
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
Oh, my heavy heart
I miss you like sleep. Says it all.
I just wanna give her a hug.
effortlessly herself, coolest singer ive ever heard
I'm guessing no one at this show had ever heard the song before
Courtney Barnett's covers always leads you back to the original band or song and in that way she pays tribute to those things that she loves
Excellent song...great performance! Tim, would approve ;)
So, so good. Refreshingly raw and real, and she has the audience (and viewers) mesmerized...
Nice of Barnett to give a plug to another great artist
Such a beautiful song, love the melody, the bridge, lyrics. People should check out you am i's version. How does this have more views.
If you have to ask, you don’t get it.
Every day, feel this way....
Nicely done. Courtney's brill.
👍👍👍
just beautyful
WOW ... beautiful xx
I love her voice on it's own is so good with only the occasional telecaster sound works well
Adoro esta chica.

FUCKING PERFECT
Ripper version
Goddamn man
thanks in 22-23
the day this video gets a dislike, is the day i lose faith
Not gonna lie. Sounds authentic, raw and pure. Love that. Maybe a bit more practice would've helped
That’s right!!!! You am I Tim Rogers is her favourite band !!! She definitely can not sing though xox
neither can Tim Rogers........does alright for himself though
Why is Courtney's version of Tim Rogers hit....a bigger hit than his ???
Nothing will ever compare to Tim Rogers original.
Sounds like narvana
Australian
I can still remember when you had to sing in tune to be popular. That was so racist.
Grouse and with the size of that guitar she looks like Malcom Young
Butcher
I don't like the song, but your sound is good. Sorry I just need to find a lot of music, hehehehe
It's a classic ahole
this is fucking horrendous!
+Stephen Barbieri Excuse me is that an Australian phrase for THIS IS AMAZEBALLS?
+msozzlover it is. as a matter of fact this is probably the best cover I've heard. It's actually up there with johnny Cash's cover of hurt.
I agree. Hurt is fucking horrendous too :)
Horrible editing.
