Wow I discovered this song while washing dishes at an apartment I lived at in Upland, in about 2009. This song came on the stereo on 88.7 kspc. I fell in love with it and have listened to it almost religiously since. I can't believe it's the end of April, 2020 and it's less than 100,000 views Come on people. This is the epitome of good music
Lyrics My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado Well she put on her skis and she slid down hill Yeah she slid downhill in her bright red mufflers My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado And left me all along for a couple of weeks, Well she called me up, she said I love you in the middle of the night I said In the middle of the night everybody loves everybody else these days She said Oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much I said Everybody loves each other these days I said I don't ever get to go on any vacations I said I've gotta go to work every day I said You get to slide downhill in your bright red mufflers She said I love you, oh I love you in the middle of the day, And she said Take off your sunglasses I don't wanna take my sunglasses Take off your sunglasses I said baby the sun is bright I need my sunglasses And then I woke up in the middle of the night One night and I felt so unworthy I said I woke up in the middle of the night One night and I felt so unworthy It didn't bother me too much, I think I am unworthy And everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days Everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days And I don't need to think about things I don't want to think about She called me up in the middle of the day She said I love you in the middle of the night I said In the middle of the night Everybody loves everybody else in the middle of the day She said Take off your sunglasses I don't wanna take my sunglasses Take off your sunglasses I said why don't you take off your sunglasses She said I already have I don't want to think about Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night In the middle of the day I don't want to think about Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night I don't want to think about it I don't want to think about it I don't want to take off my sunglasses Everybody's unworthy and Everybody loves everybody else and Everybody takes off their sunglasses Oh baby I don't want to fall into the patterns Oh baby, she said Take off your sunglasses I don't wanna take my sunglasses Take off your sunglasses I said that's like me asking you to take out your shoelaces So she took out her shoelaces
It seems like hilarious and groovy nonsense at first right but I eventually came to believe the sunglasses are a metaphor for his [negativity], the shoelaces are likewise an aspect or complex of her personality that he incorrectly assumed she would have just as stubbornly refused to let go of, but in a wholesome, depressing, profound turn of events, she does it. I used to laugh to this song and now I legitimately cry.
Summer 2022 and just discovered this song from Ezra. Thanks Stuart at FM4 in Austria for playing on my morning commute. Now I see the video and just love how many pairs Ezra wears during the “interview”!
For years, I felt like this song spoke to a deep, personal understanding of my own struggles with depression. In that time, both Ezra and I have come out as transgender. Maybe there was something to that feeling.
This should have more views than anything else on the whole dumb internet. The comic timing and genius in this music video is un-nameably and uncannily good. All these years later is it just as thrilling
I got into her last week and there's so much good music going back The thing she does with the vocals here reminds me of like, roky erickson - sweet honey pie. Theresnoassociationorcombinationofatomsthatdontagree
Still a great song after all these years, a shame the band never made it big, they were quite talented. Guess Ezra decided to take off his\her\their\its glasses.
@@77sebaseb just to clarify ezra is a transgender woman, that’s not to say that reduces the legitimacy of her womanhood. however, as of the recording of this song she was living as a man and so the original commenter was correct in their gender assumption. indeed even at the time of them commenting ezra identified as genderqueer and so, again, they were correct in their comment. however, now she identifies as a woman. (of course their is the point to be raised that she was always a woman but only realised this in her life due to societal pressures, norms and an eventual journey of self discovery - however for the contexts of the original commenter in terms of which pronouns are correct at their time of commenting and the time of recording the song and filming the music video, they were correct in the usage of pronouns). i hope that clarifies it for you and please feel free to let me know if any of my information is wrong as i’m always happy to learn :).
@@jared_wp no, your information is not wrong. :) Thank you very much at this point for your effort and the clarification of the facts. Of course, I was already aware of all this. My comment, that should be clarified here, was less a "rebuke" of the commentator than a clarification. Statement. Passing on information. Call it what you like. In fact, while writing my original post, it had not occurred to me that my statement could be seen as an affront or reproach. Sorry at this point, also to "PFH". The main thing is that he/she/they has achieved and touched us somewhere with his/her/their music. And that is a good thing. Stay safe.
Wow

Lyrics
My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
Well she put on her skis and she slid down hill
Yeah she slid downhill in her bright red mufflers
My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
And left me all along for a couple of weeks,
Well she called me up, she said I love you in the middle of the night
I said In the middle of the night everybody loves everybody else these days
She said Oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much
I said Everybody loves each other these days
I said I don't ever get to go on any vacations
I said I've gotta go to work every day
I said You get to slide downhill in your bright red mufflers
She said I love you, oh I love you in the middle of the day,
And she said
Take off your sunglasses
I don't wanna take my sunglasses
Take off your sunglasses
I said baby the sun is bright
I need my sunglasses
And then I woke up in the middle of the night
One night and I felt so unworthy
I said I woke up in the middle of the night
One night and I felt so unworthy
It didn't bother me too much, I think I am unworthy
And everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days
Everybody's unworthy of everybody else these days
And I don't need to think about things I don't want to think about
She called me up in the middle of the day
She said I love you in the middle of the night
I said In the middle of the night
Everybody loves everybody else in the middle of the day
She said
Take off your sunglasses
I don't wanna take my sunglasses
Take off your sunglasses
I said why don't you take off your sunglasses
She said I already have
I don't want to think about
Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night
In the middle of the day I don't want to think about
Things I don't want to think about in the middle of the night
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to think about it
I don't want to take off my sunglasses
Everybody's unworthy and
Everybody loves everybody else and
Everybody takes off their sunglasses
Oh baby I don't want to fall into the patterns
Oh baby, she said
Take off your sunglasses
I don't wanna take my sunglasses
Take off your sunglasses
I said that's like me asking you to take out your shoelaces
So she took out her shoelaces
This song perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to unknowingly take out your depression on a loved one.
This song is some kind of genius I'm too dumb to understand all I know is I can't stop playing it
Same! Obsessed
everybody can't stop playing every each song these days
Facts. That's exactly how I feel.
It seems like hilarious and groovy nonsense at first right but I eventually came to believe the sunglasses are a metaphor for his [negativity], the shoelaces are likewise an aspect or complex of her personality that he incorrectly assumed she would have just as stubbornly refused to let go of, but in a wholesome, depressing, profound turn of events, she does it.
I used to laugh to this song and now I legitimately cry.
I love her so much
Her new album is so good

I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG
who asked
@@kobalt3095 why r u a cyber bully

I always come back to this song, I love how it doesn't have dislikes and it's been 8 years since it was published lol
How is this person not HUGE !! Dylan. Bowie. Bolan esq Plus original stuff. A STAR IS COMING. GX
Got the same vibe when I heard first time “hurricane” by Bob Dylan and it’s awesome
I NEVER FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG
I love this song, sooooooooooo funny!!! Love the whole Retro Bob Dylan thing too, great song & concept!
This should have more views than anything else on the whole dumb internet. The comic timing and genius in this music video is un-nameably and uncannily good. All these years later is it just as thrilling

I'm so thankful for some music without crazy metaphors. just a straightforward story about a girl and her sunglasses!
What a talent! Amazing. Keep rocking Ezra!
puuff años que no escuchaba este temon, Inside the human body excelentísimo disco escúchenlo completo
This is my favorite music video of all time
2:34 omg I’m in love with this part
Lou Reed + Pixies = Awesome!
Indeed. With a large helping of Bob Dylan.
ahh this song 💘
What a great song and such a funny video! :D
Dig it! Thank you KK!
Great tune 🍻
Great song! Great video, it looks like a deleted scene from Pink Flamingos!
Still a great song after all these years, a shame the band never made it big, they were quite talented. Guess Ezra decided to take off his\her\their\its glasses.
Wow - I believe this!
Ezra was here back in 200 fucking 9, what a legend
Why does this give me the same vibes as a Beatles interview??
Because you're basic
If it weren't for Sex Education, it would have taken more than 11 years for me to come across this song.
Take off your sunglasses!
I love you too much love you love you
I Love that song! Boníssimaaa
"I said, I never get to go on any vacations I gotta go to work everyday!"
Cool song. I hope the Warren Zevon estate doesn't sue. Sounds an awful lot like "Splendid Isolation "
lol.. really? I'm familiar with Zevon. Seriously?
i walked in on this guy giving it to my boy jay clark in the middle of the day... he ain't unworthy ;
What?
Edgar Ochoa lyrics
Found this song on accident and my life was changed hehe
Mod vibes x
Twin showed me this long time ago...
LOVE IT!!!
Ya
MAN I LOVE THIS GUY , HIS LYRICS AND VOICE (AND A LITTLE LESS THE MUSIC) MAKE ME ADORE THE MUSIC STYLE :P
it's a "her" or "they". Ezra Furman indeed is a woman!

Can't you take me

Such a tired music video😂 but i looooove this song 😍
🐦
Sunglasses
I wonder how the Ezra of today rates this masterpiece
Are you telling me this song is nearly half my age... and yes I do feel exceptionally old ok.
Oh, guesses high? Everyone is.... Huh? Take off your sunglasses
COREY WORTHINGTON
i'm not the marrying type but if I were I would want this to play at my gay wedding
Nobody cares
Take off your sunglasses
This guy is EXACTLY like the violent femmes. If you’re here because you like Ezra, go, NOW and listen to blister in the sun by VF’s you’ll love it
ok
Channeling Bob Dylan and Jacob Dylan
Casey Neistats himm
There is no way that stupid band is better than Ezra.
