This song is very powerful to me. Everything is embarrassing when you try to please other people. The road to self love is long and ridden with pain but what do you prefer: the pain of staying where you are or the pain of growth?
She is so beautiful in this video bro. I always come back to this song whenever I feel sad or even happy. This song is a melodic masterpiece to the soul.
Hard to believe it's been ten years. In college I had this song playing every single day -- even now, I feel it captures that feeling of being nothing but a walking embarrassment. So glad Sky's making her well deserved return!
SkyFerreiraVEVO wow....between this song and You're not the one, I'm having a hard time trying to listen to both songs simultaneously, they're that good. Just a sweet and balanced tuned track. Takes me back. Thank you for entertaining my ears the way in which you did on these! Hooked.
I’m 54 and a musician and I grew up in the 80s. Not sure how I came across this tune, but I routinely come back to it to immerse myself in this delicious and longing pop soundscape. The video and production quality of the song is, on one level, quintessential late 80s (even some early 90s pop is similar), especially with the programmed drum track that blossoms later with empathetic, cavernous synths. On another level, it’s enduring because she’s stunningly beautiful in the black and white with simple, mundane (but interesting) settings to adorn her as a backdrop. Really just the music, the lyric and her, making the entire package pop gold. It truly is (an increasingly rare) instance of pop perfection with a memory and homage to the past.
It sounds lonely and social at the same time. Like feeling lonely even while out on the town with friends. Feeling the ephemeralness of it, already missing it.
@@iwillnevergetone5 Right?? This guy gets it! I'm sorry but neither of these two could have made these songs on their own, and both songs are the best I've ever heard from either of them.
@@natalie8212 yep . they both got mad at certain times when people started pointing that out, which I get. haha I'd be mad too if people found out my best work was all from someone else. Dev is the greatest

***** So..I didn't say they're not..not trying to start a fight either...I'm just talking about the retro feeling...not if the other songs are bad or good...Stand back it's a damn good cover too.
I barely saw it. I downloaded it but I didn't see it from beginning to end but I've atleast seen how everyone dies. I won't hold one B movie gore fest against her. She wasn't even in the main cast, just an appearance. Not really a good basis for someones acting chops lol
They do. Even more recently (2015), Grimes released the fantastic REALiTi. Check it out if you never heard about it. In the same year Carly Rae Jepsen also released Run Away With Me.
"Everything Is Embarrassing" was widely acclaimed and hailed by music critics as one of the best songs of recent years. In 2015, Pitchfork placed the song at number 14 on its list of "The 200 Best Tracks of 2010-2014". In 2019, Pitchfork placed the song at number 12 on its list of "The 200 Best Songs of the 2010s".
This song reminds me of the nice summer days with a little wind , all the birds are out , the shade is moving along the trees and the people walking happy outside. We drink outside watching the sky and laughing to stupid things cus we are high , looking at the stray dogs run around shaking their silly tails.Then we go to the river through all of that urban decay , swim in the cold refreshing river and jumping from the old tree on the river bed .Then we would get to the hill and the abandoned hospital and stare at our city , the summer fireworks show is lighting up the place and we would just stand there , the flashes would light up our smiling faces and we would look at each other with our foggy eyes and laugh.I love those days , I was happy and this song makes me happy .
Bass line is awesome. Feels like I heard the song before, many years ago, but it's only a bit more than a year old. She should get in the studio with M83, that might be enough to warp us all back to the 80s.
Just discovered this song 2 weeks via a playlist on Spotify. I’ve been jamming it…daily. I’m 25 and don’t know how I never heard it before now but it’s so underrated.
This song just reminded me how brilliant Sky is. That apathetic vocal performance and that melancholic and gloomy production is just absolute perfection.
Easily one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Dude. She killed this track. Whoever wrote it.Amazing. Whoever worked the musical part.Awesome. This song is amazing! MAKE MORE SONGS LIKE THIS SKY!
just listen to Blood Orange instead. He's the one who produced it. He's really what make this track really good. No disrespect to sky ferreira, Blood Orange is just too good.

she was all the rage during that early 2010s tumblr era....this popped up on my reccs and i wasn't expecting to realise that I had heard this song before (probably back then)))
I clicked on this song out of curiosity because the name of the artist was original and during those 4:13 I was in a different reality as I imagined what it would be like to bump into a girl like that on the streets of a city covered in lights. The moment your eyes meet as you apologize with a shy little smile on your lips and you want to say more to her because you just dropped your heart in her hands. That's how that song made me feel and it is always incredible when music does that to you. Sky Ferreira, I am an instant fan.
No way! Me too! Summer of '13 I accidentally clicked on this and I fell in love immediately . Still in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Love sky so much
Such a well written song both musically and lyrically. Such a well shot and edited video as well. Thank you so much for giving the world this gem Sky and team! Keep up the great work! 🙂
I don't know why but I never like my favourite songs the first time I hear them. I didn't like this song when I first heard it and now I sing this without even notice. Completely addicted. 💕

Yup. Is on the top of my playlist
Emma Bouloudene banger*
When I was in High School I asked to get my hair cut like hers and bleached like hers too lol

you're a loser then.
@@Maplelust lmao true
@@Maplelust then what??? You Did not finish your sentence :/
What does lmao mean?
I'm so obsessed with the song, her hair and eyes, the black'n white, the retro vibe. Everything about this is beautiful.
This is still one of my absolute favorite songs. It just hits right every time
Why does this comfort me whenever I’m embarrassed
Like now I’m embarrassed in a cool indie way
My take on the direction of the video is that it's designed for comfort.
good lyrics, warm piano and synth tones, good melody, nostalgic 80s drum and bass track
She's so hauntingly gorgeous. I just feel like she belongs in a Tim Burton movie, and she'd slay.
YES!!!!!!
Lol, totally. She's got the Gothic type look I wanted to do for myself, minus the bleach blonde hair haha
Actually...if they remade Beetlejuice...she'd really be a good Lydia.
Cunning Media if you haven't seen her in The Green Inferno.. i love her but she's a horrible horrible actress lol

Lyrics:
(I know you're trying)
Everything and nothing always haunts me
I know you're trying(2x)
Waiting for your moment to fall on me
I saw you trying (2x)
CHORUS:
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me
Never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
(I know you're trying) (2x)
Hurts so bad I don't know want you want from me
You know I'm trying (2x)
And now we're hanging on by a heartbeat
You know I'm trying
I was always trying
CHORUS
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing
Acting like its nothing, Such a bore
I saw that you and I just can't ignore
You're trying to hold the heart that can't be stored (?)
Say, I tried to give my best before
You wouldn't have the chance to give me more
You're only one step closer to the door
CHORUS
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing
CHORUS
I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing
thanks
