[ROSETODDANDADELINE04]

check this out !  ramshackle glory ~ from here to utopia. (song for the desperate)

[shyko95]

I just found out how I got so many views: kimyadawson(dot)tumblr.com/pag­e/38

I had no idea! Lol, thank you Kimya!

[mrskimyadawson]

there you go. sorry for posting the verses backwards. hahaha. <3

[shyko95]

@mrskimyadawson Lol, thank you <3. And I can't wait to see you in the UK sometime. XD

[mrskimyadawson]

What's the difference as we all try hard To make this world better? If it's thrift or if it's vintage It is still your grandpa's sweater Either way three cheers for you 'Cause it's better to reuse Than to support the corporations buying crap they mass produce You think, you think, you think You think I'm preaching to the choir But I am not, I'm not, I'm singing with the choir We are all birds, birds of a different feather We each sing the way we sing And we are all in this together

[mrskimyadawson]

chorus x2

I was feeling overrated

I was feeling undersmarted

When they looked me in the eye

And then it smelled like someone farted

Was it man or was it beast,

Or was it just my upper lip,

Was it an Olympia hippie,

Or a New York City hipster?

[mrskimyadawson]

If I don't set aside time for writing songs I go insane

The stuff that's left unsaid just turns to static in my brain

It's hard to get things done when my head is full of craziness

It's when I am the busiest is when I seem the laziest

I'm sending off my monkeys on the backs of the pink elephants

So it doesn't matter if my lyrics are irrelevant

Tossing out my thoughts like handfuls of confetti

Add a little strummy strum and I feel better already

[mrskimyadawson]

Here's a little bit of Miami advice

For when your hand is down your pants and there's a gun between your eyes

And she cocks it the minute you cream your jeans

You say "Baby do you wanna ride my Sound Machine?"

She'll say "No" but she'll laugh and drop the gun, I think

And say "Do you wanna know the story behind my new ink?"

And she'll say "Hey little man, why can't you see there is no spark?"

Take off your socks, put on your shoes, go get eaten by a shark

[mrskimyadawson]

My delivery is speedy

Can you McFeel me?

Banana midriff

So appealing

Head is in the clouds

And my feet are on the ceiling

The foundation is much uglier

Than what it is concealing

x2

[mrskimyadawson]

Miami Advice I was feeling master blasted Lost my id, my auntie entity And just because it's real to you It isn't not pretend to me And did you know my L-bro Taught me positively everything I never didn't know about Double negativity Have you been unfollowed for Misogynistic dickiness? Sitting home alone in a pool Of your own stickiness? Jerking off to your own tweets, iPhone on the shitter While you insult everyone else for For what they write on twitter

[BaronzPogz]

"Broken ass poet with the same old cadence" -the grouch

[shyko95]

@topsidesoul All in the lyrics :).

[meryals]

I think it's "My Id, my inner entity" and "I phone on the shitter" in verse 1. Thanks for posting! I love this song! Kimya is my hero.

[shyko95]

@meryals Thanks!

[katalepsykills]

@meryals I just posted on another song that she's the only hero that I know of that's left.

[FireDropTechnologies]

This is not Aesop?

Blow me.

[shyko95]

@FireDropTechnologies Did you listen to it all?

[FireDropTechnologies]

@shyko95

As much of it as I could Before the over powering urge to Vomit in Shear Discust over came me,

Then? Then I just left, the chick suck's with teath bared.

[shyko95]

@FireDropTechnologies I'm sorry the 7 billion other people on this planet don't agree with you. Not everyone hates or loves the same thing, get over it. And if you like Aesop Rock, and Aesop Rock believes Kimya Dawson is a great enough artist for him to appear on most of the tracks on her latest album, Thunder Thighs, then I'm sure she's good enough. Overall: Fuck You. There are millions of artists, and billions of people, not everyone will like everyone elses types.

[FireDropTechnologies]

@shyko95

Too each their ownI guess,

But hell hoss? How many girl's got where they be, by being nice,

not by skill?

All I'm gonna say.

[shyko95]

@FireDropTechnologies What has being nice gotta do with anything? Unless for some reason you are talking about beautiful girls who are famous without talent. In wich case, Kimya isn't one of them. In fact, she isn't event hat good looking, wich helps sift real fans from fake ones.

[FunkmasterFink]

@FireDropTechnologies "Shear Discust", "suck's with teath", random capitalization...

Who wouldn't be eager to take criticism on their musical taste by a genius such as yourself? I'm sure Aesop would be proud.

[FireDropTechnologies]

@FunkmasterFink

I don't realy cair if he's proud or not?

I like his music, Well most of it any how?

As to the crittisism?

Life's full of that, Deel with it.

[shyko95]

I am getting the album Thunder Thighs, If you wish for me to put more songs from it on YouTube, then I will do so. I urge you all to get it too.

[FunkmasterFink]

I seriously can't get enough of the chorus.

[shyko95]

I need help with the lyrics peoples.

[noisi321]

@shyko95 some mistakes I THINK i found: in verse 1 its "misogynistic ickyness" and "for what they write on twitter". In the chorus is "banana(?) middriff, so appealing. In Verse 2 its "strummy strum". In Verse 3 its ""was it man or was it beast", and, not sure, "an olympia hippie" + "if it's thrift or if it's vintage". Hope that helps!

[shyko95]

@noisi321 Thanks, I hae changed them now :).

[kellierenshaw]

Respond to this video... "if it's thrift or if it's vintage it's still your Grandpa's sweater' 

[shyko95]

@kellierenshaw Thanks. XD

[Susoomu]

yesssssssssssssssssssssss, so stinkin excited about this cd!

[americannable]

i wanna live in a world where indie artist leave social networking refrences out or there "art"

[shyko95]

@americannable Artists write about whatever they want, that's art. Art doesn't change itself for an audience, or censor itself, it's the sound/image/taste/feel/smell of that person's soul. It's them... put into differant forms and sensations. Art is free, so only the person should have complete control over it, so they're able to do with it what they will.

[americannable]

@shyko95 yes, but thats more about your view on art than my world

[shyko95]

@americannable So do you think that artists shouldn't? Or do you think that that lessens their originality?

[americannable]

@shyko95 i dunno? thats just a world that i want to live in.

[bachelorfox]

@americannable when an artist mentions a social networking website it can be a massive turn-off, like how i've heard Facebook pitifully referenced in some rubbish R&B ballads. it can obviously sound cheap/naff. but i think Kimya gets away with it just fine, it's satirical. it's hardly product placement. & to censor corporations from music like they don't exist, corporations that play an undeniably massive part in every day people's lives (whether you like it or not) seems much sillier in a way.

[shyko95]

@bachelorfox. Yeah, she's just creating a portfolio if an identity of which she talks about.

[bachelorfox]

@americannable Well, if we're gonna split hairs… you mean social networking sites like Twitter which is owned by the corporation Twitter Inc.? or Facebook which is owned by the company Facebook Inc.? Anyhow, though I'm cynical of these websites, I disagree nothing meaningful happens on them, like when my sister updates me with photographs of my nephew and niece growing up from the other side of the country, to name only one example. But anyway, we don't seem to be disagreeing much about Kimya.

[americannable]

@bachelorfox yeah, i know there corporate.... theres more than one way to share family photos...

[americannable]

@bachelorfox i wasnt talking about corporations. i called out social networking sites, like were suppose to pretend anything meaningful happens in these contrived locations. and i think kimya uses satire ultimately for an ernest portrayal . to me, if she gets away with it, its because of her feminine stance

[sillyturtle7]

chills:)

[ronkey101]

1:44 to 1:57 I know what ya mean Kimya

[abonfilio]

i saw kimya and aesop when they were in SF. probably one of the best concerts i have ever been to. life long aesop fan, my wife loves kimya. true art

[joannefrancey]

so many of those lyrics are wrong

[shyko95]

@joannefrancey And the way you go about helping me correct them is wrong too.

[smfidlerU]

Love <3 Love, Love it! <3 :)

[VESallTED951]

Fresh.

[Madabird]

fuck. this is my shit.

[danielleBr00tal]

best collab ever. mind fuck. eargasm.

[PsychofanGal]

Her smile is beautiful. :D

[TylerSmytheTwo]

chords for guitar? Saw this live, came home and listened to it over and over.

[shyko95]

@TylerSmytheTwo On Kimya's Tumblr, someone asked her for guitar chords for a few songs, here's her reply: "Driving Driving Driving is Em, G, D, C

Same Shit/ Complicated (and Miami Advice) are Am, G over and over. "

[cakeup253]

. "its still your grandpas sweater " very thrivey, makes me wanna glerk down

[moment594]

mc feel ya :o)

haw haw haw <3it!!!!

[shyko95]

I've been listening to Eminem obsessebly for the last 5 years, then I found Kimya, she suplies the cuteness, firendship, and personality I needed, added with the angry, poetic rap-like wordplay, to become my favourite artist of all time... Almost, for the last year her and Eminem have been fighting for the top spot, they've both got an album out this June so I geuss it all depends on that. Also I have to be honest, I only heard of Kimya due to Juno, but I live in the UK so I never hear of her.

[MrSoprano92]

@shyko95 Love Kimya, but Eminem has top spot for me brahh!

[shyko95]

@MrSoprano92 Lol, too differant to choose.

[daveyof5d]

And on top of that, Aesop doesn't even kick a verse? blah.

[moment594]

@daveyof5d :LAME :BLAH

[daveyof5d]

The problem with this song is it doesn't come to life until 3:30 into the track. She does enough lyrically to make me listen to the whole thing, but I'm only mildly bobbing my head to it.

@daveyof5d Spreading negativity is a disease.. "Positive energy activates constant elevation" - Gravediggaz

[303gRAfwRitER]

@daveyof5d The fact that he does anything on this track is super dope! Love it! Made my morning and whole weekend!!! =) Have a good day Mr. Davey

[FULLMELTBUBBLE]

so hipster im loving it.

[interpolluter29]

Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson. That's a dream bill there!

[americannable]

@interpolluter29 add john darnielle and bob dylan 4 the ultimate 4 pack

[dragulachic]

I can't believe that this song doesn't have more views. I swear I have shared this beautiful song with everyone I know, even the non-believers who roll there eyes. They just don't get Kimya, I feel sorry for them.

[YogiRAWR]

A good tool for ripping files off sites is Free Music Zilla, great song

[shyko95]

@YogiRAWR To do this I found OffLiberty.comm, it's quite cute lol.
