There's nothing I hate more than any of Liz's snobby "I ONLY LOVE EXILE" fans who also love Best Coast. Best Coast sounds like Whipsmart/spaceegg era Liz and I always felt if it were ANYONE else who recorded an album as good as Whipsmart or WhiteCho... they'd get universal praise and someone did exactly that.
She might not have been having sex at 12. It's more of a despair that not even at 12 can she have a boy that cares for her in a more innocent way, and they all want her body but won't give any romance or actually be her 'boyfriend' all they all want is to 'Fuck and Run'. So she can either be alone another year or put out.
Pretty screwed up these days it's even more true then in 1990's.
*Music Troll* ~ I like Liz Phair, her sound is definately 'indie" pop-rock" but so was the Indigo girls...and other "Independent" Musicians like Sweet Honey in the Rock...Indie music is a lot of different sounds. I pay homage to Independent Jazz Musicians...hell...independent musicians exist everywhere! Stay Free! (also the name of an Independent magaZINE...
*N-D Rock Troll* I was there, damit! I have a color named after me! I Am the Darkest-blue...blue coletrain...Yeah...Ya'll all green!
This song has such a road trip kind of feel to it, love it. Driving alone on the highway at night with no where to go kinda feel... awww makes me feel all warm inside :o)
Like always people talk about feminism on Liz Phair's songs, but I think that everyone can relate to this. What I hear is a sad and lonely person who wishes to have someone to spend the whole life with...
@JohnniesMcClane Haha man do I love feminism. These little girls were brainwashed by post-menopausal vixens into "sexual liberation". Now they will hate their lives forever, while providing any guy with game no-strings-attached pornstar sex till they are discarded at age 30 like a used condom. The divorce industry has ensured there is no escape for "idealists" who believe in marriage/monogamy. We have endless harems of pussy, while honest men's balls are crushed by the high heels of feminists
@FD3SA Wow, aren't you a cynical bastard. It's a fucking song describing a woman's personal experiences, not a political statement. I'd venture to say most woman wouldn't want a relationship with a shallow fuck of a man who needed to be bribed into love with the promise of pussy, anyway, so you'd better hide your shit personality if you don't want to die alone.
@FD3SA You applied ridiculously sweeping and baseless generalizations to half of the western population, so excuse me if I have trouble taking you seriously enough to honestly want to sit down and argue your points. If more women are "whores", it's more reflective of our narcissistic throwaway culture than anything, a mindset which goes against the very grain of actual feminism. Maybe try picking up a book on the subject before you so proudly flaunt your ignorance all over the fucking internet.
I didn´t know this singer until today, and I´m surprised: her songs are very good, her lyrics explicit but very interesting. She says inteligent things. Feelings that only women can understand (I´m not, but...)
I don't really agree that "why can I" is a sellout song, just because she sings about sex etc. doesn't mean she shouldn't sing sweeter songs about her feelings too!
Her voice suits a range of stuff, so she should keep doing it all! Anyone that can sing "extraordinary" & "hot white cum" and sound amazing on both is clearly talented!
omg she is so l3itchy like really, does she have to sing aboust sex like come on britney spears is so much better then her she would fit in those songs but really like fuck and run whats the whole point of the freakin song
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@coolina84 I agree. I find this song pretty pointless. She obviously has a lot sexual frustration as some other songs of her's imply, so I think the best thing for her is to just get a boyfriend!
To coolina84 and indiemelon, the point of this song is that she can't keep a boyfriend. She finds herself having one night stands all over the place, settling for Mr. Right Now, instead of Mr. Right. She doesn't know why she does it, it just happens. It's not that uncommon of a situation for the ladies of today.
She didn't sell out. This is a song by a teen/20something single woman, and "Why can't I" is by a 30something married mom. She was honest then, and she's honest now. She's not going to pretend to be something she's not to keep indie cred. She's always been herself, and that's why I've always respected her.
Why can't I listen to anything on youtube without seeing comments about how much someone hates hip-hop? I'm just going to listen to stuff on itunes from now on, At least I won't have to read comments from borderline racist indie rock potheads, who think every rap song is by tupac or something.....(Love Indie Rock by the way lol)
Tupac was good. So is Dre. Automated beats on a song are not eg as put on Dido by her studio, as on a lot of hip hop I assume etc. As on gimmick "music". Kanye West is a poohjabber: all the fucker did on "Yesterday" when McCartney sang it at The Grammys was go "That's right". No, that's wrong. Learn a fucking instrument, like Duke Ellington did (my hero).
It dosen't matter if its bad or good why would you trash someone you don't know who cares ye are really tough behind your keyboards when ye are faceless. so don't trash people without reason dickheads!
Liz Phair = unique, creative, and original. Sure she doesn't have a fuckin Sony voice, and her beats dont fit into what's played on pop radio, but she is what indie music is about.
pop radiosucks anyway. I like whats not on the radio. all they have on the radio is beyonce, taylor swit crap. Today where is emotion , origniality, and honest. Pop is toast with no jelly on it.
If it helps your psyche, I don't mean "friend" in the sense of "someone I like and what to spend time with." I mean "friend" in the sense of "I would rather spend an afternoon in the hot Sun my toungue stapled to the lawn with a croquet hoop than spend an evening listening to you talk."
Yes she's saying,"I want all that stupid old shit like letters and sodas." She's saying she wants a normal , innocent relationship, the kind you have in highschool thats fresh and exciting without the expectation of sex, because sex is complicating.
