    Lyrics:
    No joke is funny enough
    no story is gripping enough
    no shared experience nostalgic enough
    yeah nothing’s enough, when you’re not needed anymore
    no break is long enough
    not wallet full enough
    take a moment, realize you’re not enough
    yeah nothing’s enough, when you’re not needed anymore
    you’re not needed anymore (repeat)

    You guys. I'm 55 years old. And I saw dead inside Shuffle in my algorithm. I have been sustaining on a diet of Louis Cole music. And it gets better and better. I am absolutely Blown Away, to the point of emotional music loving tears. I am absolutely ecstatic that I found this dude. And so many awesome people connected to him. It just gets better and better. Life is good everybody!

    I love when lyrics seem to be referencing a situation specific to the artist, but is kept vague enough to feel applicable to a broader scope of situations.

    It's fascinating that both Louis Cole and Jacob Collier have a ton of experience playing percussion, but their compositions have fantastic melodies. It seems like musical education being focused so heavily on the theory of harmonization rather than rhythm is a big hole in understanding the complexities of putting music together.

      Hmm I wouldn't be so sure that Louis & Jacob aren't exceptions rather than the rule. I've been in two bands where percussionists were writing the tunes, & they were both awful.

    I think my favorite thing about Louis Cole is that he looks like my cousin or the fact that he is one of the best drummers of the last 2 decades or so, one of those I can't tell

    In my opinion, Louis is highly under-rated. He can do some amazing things on drums, creates sick bass lines, sings and plays guitar. Can't wait for the new album Louis!!!

    No Louis Cole song is long enough.

    I love how compact and compressed his work feels. Such balance between complex and simple
