about
Written during a hard period of Angie’s life, the latest track is a testimony to the hardships of mental health and an upbeat reminder to be gentler with yourself. Although born from a difficult chapter, the song itself is an electrifying indie-pop anthem; heartfelt but lighthearted, a song you can cry to on the dancefloor.
The latest offering comes off the back of Angie’s second release ‘Who Are You After Me’ which garnered praise from Pilerats and Xpress Magazine and received airplay across triple j Unearthed, Double J and local community radio stations.
lyrics
I’ve looked at this body 24 years going on strong
And every lap a do
It’s like I lose a little more of someone
This year I don’t wanna have a party
Oh no
This year I don’t wanna have a party
I get my self loving
In anybody else’s bed
I get out whenever, just to get out of my own head
This year I don’t wanna have a party
Oh no
This year I don’t wanna have a party
Maybe I could
If I was just softer, kinder on myself
Maybe I could
If I was more gentle with my mental health
Maybe I could
If I wasn’t so acutely aware of everyone else
Maybe I could if I was softer on myself
Self sabotage seems to be
My oldest, longest friend
And I spend all day in self doubt
With jackshit to show at the end
This year I don’t wanna have a party
Oh no
This year I don’t wanna have a party
Oh please don’t make me have a party baby
I still have some friends who’ve not forgave me
For the last one
I don’t like who I can be
When I’m drinking, when I’m sad
I’m trying to get better,
Trying to be better
Trying, I’m trying, Im trying
Maybe I could
If I was a little softer, kinder on myself
Maybe I could
If I was more gentle with my mental health
Maybe I could
If I wasn’t so acutely aware of everyone else
Maybe I could if I was softer on myself
