♡ american teenager ♡ Grew up under yellow light on the street Putting too much faith in the make-believe And another high school football team The neighbor's brother came home in a box But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault Another red heart taken by the American dream And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out and I'm all alone again Say what you want, but say it like you mean it With your fists for once, a long cold war With your kids at the front Just give it one more day, then you'rе done Done I do what I want, crying in the blеachers And I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone, it's just not my year But I'm all good out here Sunday morning Hands over my knees in a room full of faces I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted And didn't feel so good Head full of whiskey but I always deliver Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone in this room with you?

ethel cain is amazing. just like you. rlly glad her image and music is keeping us trans girls together espically in these sort of situations. hope ur doing well xx
NY Times closed comments. I wanted you to know that I enjoyed this article, and appreciate that you are true to your aesthetic and narrative voice: youthful, honest, self-indulgent, and reaching --universal for anyone wounded and trying to find balance and peace at that age. Even though I am a 62-years-old white guy living in a different lifestyle, I related to your earlier confusion and pain. I hope your path, and future projects, leads you to personal peace and happiness. If you are already there - Brava!
this channels such a specific feeling that I’ve experienced growing up in rural America…and I’m not sure I like it but it definitely makes me cry listening to something that resonates with me like this!
and this beautiful human writes, creates and produces countless masterpieces and concepts. what a rare talent. fucking love you ethel. you leave me in awe
You saved my life ethel Cain. I know lots of people may say that but you did. My life has improved because of you and I wanna get back to music bc of you. Thank you a million angel of god ILL BE SCREAMING EVERY LYRIC TO EVERY SONG AT YOUR LA SHOW
love how the single cover for this has a football field light in the shot. i dont remember where i read this but she said the lights going out lyric was inspired by one time she was sitting at her schools football field at night and the lights shut off
My partner as of two days ago just introduced me to your music… Needless to say officially have listened to just about everything that you have produced. Miss Ethel, I have been absolutely captivated by your artistry. As a musician myself.. I lost hope in my own artistry for years. The way corporate sign offs or even TH-cam shadows treat literal music breaks my heart… I say this because you actually gave me some lost inspiration I really needed. The best artists are the ones in the shadows. All of our beautiful legends that paved the way were the same way. Thank you for being you and literally giving your beautiful elegant style to the world. Please never stop 🖤 whether or not music ever pays your bills you change peoples lives with your words and the way they are expressed.. much love darlin and keep on truckin ☀️
Idk why I thought this song was in heartstopper lol. I think both the song and the show came out the same day. But gosh this song is so beautiful. I thought 23 was gonna be a great year for me and it was pretty shitty. Then I discovered Ethel and this song and I was like “bruh, this is so me rn. It’s just not my year but I’ll fine” I’m so grateful for her. She deserves the world
Some day soon enough you are going to be such a well known presence world wide that your life will never be the same again. You are a star with or without the cameras and I sincerely wish you nothing but the best whatever your future may bring, stay golden Ethel.
I don’t think she realizes the impact of her music. People are feeling seen, heard, and definitely included. Me being one of them. As a young trans woman who grew up in Oklahoma, this song floods my body with nostalgia. This song is a prayer to my inner child
Ethel you remind me of listening to The Cranberries in the back of the car as a kid. And for some reason i still listen to The Cranberries while I drive to work 20 years later
This album is going to be my favourite of the year, these three singles have been so good. Shame I’m from the UK and can’t see you on tour. Your vibe is unparalleled, everyone I know is sick of me playing these songs but idgaf lmaoo
This actually makes me want to cry - to see Ethel just being a teenager, existing so innocently and carefree at the beginning of her story only to know what happens to her by the end :(
OH, Hayden!! You've done it!! I'm hooked I've been listening to your 3 EP's and your new BRILLIANT release, you've brought me joy with your music. From this rocker, for lack of a better term and your other ethereal definition, type songs you're a breathe of fresh air!!! Keep it coming, just not too fast, lol ;)

Finally a song about the two most important things in life
1.) Doin' it for my Daddy
2.) Doin' it for Dale
raise hell, praise Dale
🤔
The Father, The Sun, and Dale 🙌🙏✊
"and then the Lord decided on that day 'Let There Be An Ethel Cain' and there was and He saw that it was good, It was very good indeed" Amen
Shame on you to working with abuser dr luke!
Amen
Amen
amen
amen
The Don't Stop Believin riff coming in at 3:08 is so fucking sick
I scrolled through so many comments waiting for someone else to say this lol
i was about to comment this omg. i have to wonder if it was her intention to include that exact guitar lick in this song or if it’s just coincidence.
omgg yess it’s my fav part of the song
I think it’s an intentional nod to youthful optimism. Don’t stop believing!
Also a phrase that must be particularly relevant to a preacher’s daughter.
i never noticed this before and my mind is blown rn
♡ american teenager ♡
Grew up under yellow light on the street
Putting too much faith in the make-believe
And another high school football team
The neighbor's brother came home in a box
But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
Another red heart taken by the American dream
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out and I'm all alone again
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fists for once, a long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then you'rе done
Done
I do what I want, crying in the blеachers
And I said it was fun
I don't need anything from anyone, it's just not my year
But I'm all good out here
Sunday morning
Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted
And didn't feel so good
Head full of whiskey but I always deliver
Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor
And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone in this room with you?
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out
But I'm still standing here
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once
A long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then you're done
I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale
I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well
For me, for me
For me, for me
♡
Thank you for your service

I’m a trans woman living in a small north east rust belt town and Ethel Cain has been the only thing keeping me going lately 🥺

I need to get out of my box and explore the world. there's so much that I'm scared of. I think this song just gave me some random insight.
3 for 3 for the singles, album of the year on the way

Omg when is the LA show??
@@creatrix_child in may after the album drops
Shame on you to working with abuser dr luke!
props to her for being able to film herself doing random stuff while keeping a straight face. i could never
Reminds me a lot of 80's Bruce Springsteen! This album is going to be pure fire
Journey too with the guitars
summer is officially saved with this anthem, thank you
This album is literally helping me enter a new era of my life you are an ANGEL
did anyone catch the “Sunday Morning” reference from the Golden Age EP? love when an artist knows how to create their own universe 💒
YES!
yep! i yelled "AAAYE REFERENCE" when she sang it hahaha
love how the single cover for this has a football field light in the shot. i dont remember where i read this but she said the lights going out lyric was inspired by one time she was sitting at her schools football field at night and the lights shut off
Love this song and album sfm ugh
A day before my birthday this got released and now I'm having the best birthday I've had in years just blasting this all day.
happy birthday!
i love the single cover, its probably the best cover i've ever seen
My partner as of two days ago just introduced me to your music…

It’s just not my year but I’ll fine” I’m so grateful for her. She deserves the world
Some day soon enough you are going to be such a well known presence world wide that your life will never be the same again.
You are a star with or without the cameras and I sincerely wish you nothing but the best whatever your future may bring, stay golden Ethel.
i feel like a typical teenage girl listening to this & i love it
I don’t think she realizes the impact of her music.
People are feeling seen, heard, and definitely included. Me being one of them.
As a young trans woman who grew up in Oklahoma, this song floods my body with nostalgia.
This song is a prayer to my inner child
Discovered Ethel recently and wow, I never knew music could have so much nostalgia.
reminds me of State of Grace. absolutely in love with this
Ethel you remind me of listening to The Cranberries in the back of the car as a kid. And for some reason i still listen to The Cranberries while I drive to work 20 years later
THANK YOUUUUU for this beautiful work! So excited for Preacher’s Daughter 🙏
This song makes me want to weep almost every time. Fantastic work. Thank you for the beautiful music.
She is fucking awesome. My daughter introduced me to her. Reminds of some late 80's early 90's music. Why isn't she bigger?
Fantastic, giving me some 80s nostalgia. Pounding the buds at the park is pretty ingrained in my teen memories too. ♥️
a midwestern lesbian finding solace in your music......this is what the lgbtq+ community is all about
This album will be considered a classic. So poignant.
I miss hanging out at the park. Anything to be young again.
Your voice and lyrics touch the deepest darkest part of my soul and I love it. Thank u so much Ethel.
This album is going to be my favourite of the year, these three singles have been so good. Shame I’m from the UK and can’t see you on tour. Your vibe is unparalleled, everyone I know is sick of me playing these songs but idgaf lmaoo
This actually makes me want to cry - to see Ethel just being a teenager, existing so innocently and carefree at the beginning of her story only to know what happens to her by the end :(
Thank the Lord 🙏 she has once again created an absolute banger
I found this genius artist just a few days ago and I've listened to every single performance already.multiple times
It's so fucking good, I can actually feel it.
What an iconic throwback style poppy jam! Now to look up the lyrics and-
she put crack in this idk why this is so addictive been playing it on repeat
The music is great what a beautiful person thank you
Your music is really special! Hoping for more exploration with this kind of sonic vibe :)
Thank you Mother Cain. It's absolutely lovely ❤️. As usual.
"and jesus if you're listening, let me handle my liquor!" bahaha

The world isn’t prepared for Ethel Cain ♡
Her voice is so beautiful
What a cool concept for a video! New to Ethel Cain, but liking what I've come across.
I’ve kept my eye on you for a while but am only appreciating you now. You’re fucking incredible, thank you for your art
Billboard will be hearing from my lawyer if this masterpiece doesn't chart
OH, Hayden!! You've done it!! I'm hooked I've been listening to your 3 EP's and your new BRILLIANT release, you've brought me joy with your music.
