Fun fact: the clapping during the noise bit at the end is a recording of Jamie slapping himself in the face really hard. He talked about it in his drunk commentary of this album.
This song is incredibly terryfing and uncomfortable, transmits horror without very obvious about it, whiske listening to this i felt like i was being abused, and the feel of a power imbalance is properly transmited, great song,
It’s about two lesbian women who lived above the lead singer at the time. One was younger and the other was older and married with a husband and kids, and was having an affair with the younger girl. Apparently, they would go outside on the porch and “be a couple”. The lyrics of the song are words the couple had said to each other.
the first xiu xiu i was able to listen through. There is a comfort in the specific uneasesy feeling. In the way i react to the words sung by this voice, while these sounds clammer in the bg. I can't stop chewing gum, and my jaw is aching for it but the gum keeps me from worse so i will endure
Am ex showed me this song and I dissed it because i was insecure about how it made me feel. I did that with a lot of things.. my most toxic trait. It's farther down the road and I fucking love this song and all feelings that come with.
You say I am loca Because I am your girl You say I am stupid Because I am your girl You leave me out on the steps You dress me up like a boy You say that I am your secret love You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you We do it in the back of our little car Pull up my pants and fix my bra Go on home, go home to your kids I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you
Jamie Stewart (frontman of Xiu Xiu) went to a gay resort in Vietnam in 2000 and asked a sex worker to pose with baby dolls naked while he took pictures.
Here's my interpretation: [Verse 1] You say I am loca Because I am your girl You say I am stupid Because I am your girl [Verse 2] You leave me out on the steps You dress me up like a boy You say that I am your secret love You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world Pretty self explanatory, the girl is being abused and the partner is saying she should stay quiet about it as the partner is saying it's the girls fault for staying with him because he's abusive. [Chorus] I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you The repetition makes it sound like it's being drilled into your head, but what if the girl is repeating it because her partner keeps saying it to her to make HER think that way? [Verse 3] We do it in the back of our little car Pull up my pants and fix my bra Go on home, go home to your kids I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block The 2 have had sex, likely non-consensual and it's here the first gut punch comes in. The partner goes home to their children. He is not only cheating on his wife, but abusing his mistress. Seeing this the girl finally decides to tell the neighbourhood This vocals sound out of tune/out of time until the noise section. When a cartoon characters TV is out of tune, they hit it. After this the song is in tune. [Chorus] I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you I like my neighborhood I like my gun Drive in my little car I am your girl and I will protect you The vocals are now in tune: The block didn't believe her and she was punished for lying. The Girl also sounds slightly happier here, having accepted this is now her life.
There was a movie in the early 90s about two Chola girls Mousey and Sad Girl in East LA called Mi Vida Loca. This song sounds similar to the plot, two friends date and get impregnated by the same guy, one has to deal drugs on the street and carry a gun to feed her kid.

Why do I always picture a Japanese girl with a schoolgirl uniform running in a dark Japanese alley at night being followed by a unknown entity, every time I listen to this song 😵💫
This guy owes Pill Friends a thank you for actually making this a listenable song. Usually covers don’t stand up to the original but wowie, i didn’t think this would be such hot garbage 🗑️
We ruining karaoke night with this one
fuck yah
every time
Fun fact: the clapping during the noise bit at the end is a recording of Jamie slapping himself in the face really hard. He talked about it in his drunk commentary of this album.
"fun fact" 💀
i always assumed it was supposed to be him hitting the girl so it makes sense
the whole album smells like sweat.
i dont know how to express it more than this.
Hello
@everyvillanislemons7583
real
Exactly my thoughts since I first listened to it years ago
Basically more intimate than usual?
this is the most song ever
runescape
well one day i
i like my gun :)
Xiu Xiu
I disagree
This song is incredibly terryfing and uncomfortable, transmits horror without very obvious about it, whiske listening to this i felt like i was being abused, and the feel of a power imbalance is properly transmited, great song,
it sounds so tender tho

This song genuinely scared the sh!t out of me as I listened to this cd while I was driving at night and that loud noisy bit at 2'06" came unexpected.
oh man that must be brutal
I wanna have that kind of experiences 🌞
Bro who has this on a CD.
@@chanss9698 bro?
2 feet tall/ 6 inches are my measurements, actually!
the first time i heard this song was the first time i heard it.
same.
so deep
What a strange coincidence, mate...
K
yeah
I listened to this song on repeat everyday on my commute to subway when I was 16. Good times
This song came up on the song radio during my peaceful sleeping playlist and I had a nightmare
No other voice than Jamie Stuart’s has made me feel so depressed while listening to it.
and thom yorke
@@thomsgirlfriend1745 Thom Yorke sounds funny
Try out some car seat headrest

I am the sad pony guerrila girl.....minus the older married lover, or significant other in general. I just vibe with this
I can't get enough of this song
Don't tell the other songs, but this is Jamie's favorite.
But it’s ok, because they’re just songs and don’t have feelings
Am ex showed me this song and I dissed it because i was insecure about how it made me feel. I did that with a lot of things.. my most toxic trait. It's farther down the road and I fucking love this song and all feelings that come with.
wow what a shit thing to do
reminds me of the guitar from my favorite song "all we ever wanted was everything" by bushas, so glad to hear that unique sound again
Have you ever heard Jamie's cover of that song? It's not my favorite of his covers but the second half goes hard.
makes me sad
a sad pony guerilla girl?
such special music
Its 4 in the morning my headphones are at full volume abd the noise bit just scared the shit out of me😭😭😭😭
2:09 when your ma came back after picking up the report card
Sounds exactly like the last song I'll ever hear in my life.
are you still alive
@@bvsk.zI guess not.
brilliant song
Whenever i play this around my dog and it gets to the noise part she looks at me terrified
This song is so beautiful but fucked up at the same time.
i love my neighborhood in love my gun i am a girl and i will protect u
People kept clapping off beat when I saw them perform this live. Ruined a very poignant experience.
this triggers me so much like i didnt even see it but am still furious right now
Well fuck that shit right off m'man rofl
wym like how
Why were they even clapping though? There's no beat in the song really to follow along with. Weird.
@@dakillarDIE maybe the slapping sounds starting at 2:08
This was played to me as a punishment
so true babe
i love it so much
You say I am loca
Because I am your girl
You say I am stupid
Because I am your girl
You leave me out on the steps
You dress me up like a boy
You say that I am your secret love
You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
We do it in the back of our little car
Pull up my pants and fix my bra
Go on home, go home to your kids
I'm not going to be quiet and I'm going to tell the whole block
I like my neighborhood
I like my gun
Drive in my little car
I am your girl and I will protect you
i fucking love this song and band bro, they’re so amazing.
The music is effin great but the artwork made me intrigued.
It's a good story, look it up
Jamie Stewart (frontman of Xiu Xiu) went to a gay resort in Vietnam in 2000 and asked a sex worker to pose with baby dolls naked while he took pictures.
@@kavajarrace and the sex slave still hasnt been paid
@@bringoujelqings4078 well he wasn't a slave, he was a sex worker. jamie probably paid him because it's illegal not to do that in a prostitution house
Como pode uma banda dessa existir e ninguém falar nada
Here's my interpretation:
[Verse 1]
You say I am loca
Because I am your girl
You say I am stupid
Because I am your girl
[Verse 2]
You leave me out on the steps
You dress me up like a boy
You say that I am your secret love
You say to be quiet but I want to tell the whole world

It's about a lesbian abusive relationship
i think this a fairly good interpretation

It's actually about a lesbian relationship
i kinda see it as a guy coming out as a girl to his girlfriend imo
harrowing
I frickin love this song.
This song made me so uncomfortable, phenomenal work.
this sounds like a song for people who enjoy their neighborhood and their guj

Hell yeah !lol

I used to be in love with a woman with an abusive boyfriend I wanted to save her from. I always wanted to sing this to her.
