Following the release of her 17 new solo singles, including the Nashville NPR-premiered “Mirtazapine,” and the fan-adored “True Believer,” Hayley Williams has arrived with the official music video for track, “Glum.”
The track sees the Paramore frontwoman experimenting with vocal distortion as she navigates purpose. Basically, for anyone who is enduring their existential era, Williams perfectly encapsulates the journey of finding meaning via acoustic indie strums and earnest, soaring choruses. “On my way to thirty-seven years/I do not know if I’ll ever know/What in the living fuck I’m doing here,” she sings.
Check out the Zac Farro and AJ Gibboney-directed music video below.
“Glum” Lyrics:
In the wake of your sunshine
I’ve never felt so glum
Think I’m made up of moonlight
Don’t reach quite as far, but I still show up
Stick around for someone (someone)
Stick around ’til dawn, I wonder
Do you ever feel so alone
That you could implode and no one would know?
And when you look around and nobody’s home
But you wanna go back to wherever we’re from
To wherever we’re from
Spaced out at a stoplight
Who’s laying on their horn?
‘Cause it’s in tune with this song
Wanna put it in park, listen all day long
Hey man, roll down your window (window, window)
Light’s already yellow, I wonder
Do you ever feel so alone
That you could implode and no one would know?
And when you look around and nobody’s home
That you wanna go back to wherever we’re from
Wherever we’re from
On my way to thirty-seven years
I do not know if I’ll ever know
What in the living fuck I’m doing here
Does anyone know if this is normal?
I wonder, I wonder
Do you ever feel so alone (feel)
That you can implode and no one would know? (No one would know)
And when you look around and nobody’s home (nobody’s home)
That you wanna go back to wherever we’re from
Wherever we’re from
In the wake of your sunshine
I’ve never felt so glum
