I love how “I should be harder to kill” feels like a more inspirational statement as a song progresses. You go from seeking them out and them “killing you” to recognizing they shouldn’t have that power over you.
Same. For some reason im looking always for deeper meanings in his songs His songs are fire and well made, He mus't be inteligent, i cant belive his stupid songs are just stupid songs.
So true 😅, I also interpret the statement "I should be harder to kill" as the memory of the speaker as well as the affection should have been harder for the subject to get rid off, following through with this statement, the speaker could be seen to have been 'living' through the affection and memory of the subject and dependent on them.
I'll always listen to something new from Carter. Every song is great. The shorts are great, but the actual music from Carter is always main playlist material.
As corny as this might sound, I'm a 60 year old guy that is just learning to cope with my life after the heartbreaking end of a 14 year relationship and I don't think any song has ever spoken to exactly what I was feeling like this one does. Thanks Carter. Keep making people smile and feel good. This town ain't big enough for two.
Honestly, as funny as Carter is, I prefer his more serious stuff. Like this song? A post break up song which is angry but not malevolent? Perfect, no notes.
My life has been changing drastically (maybe not for the better but who knows). A couple of enormous disappointments have left me completely defeated. Like not wanting to crawl out of bed, can't face anyone I love, feel like I'm being abandoned, type of defeat. I thought I was stronger than this. I really thought I was harder to kill. Turns out I'm not an indestructible cockroach, I'm a tiny jelly filled caterpillar easily missed, easily stepped on. Man, I thought I was harder to kill. I think I'll take up karate.
Dying is actually really difficult, believe me, I know from experience. As long as you have a moment, spend it on what makes you happy. Don't just feel better. Don't just get used to feeling shitty. Try to spend your time as best as you can, and I hope, for everyone, it gets better. It's hard for everyone right now. Things are tough all over.
Learn Karate, buy yourself a Toyota Corolla if you don't already drive one, learn how to hog tie. These are skills that will help you immensely when the aliens invade! In seriousness, it's hard as hell, but keep going forward. Take this from someone who was emotionally dead for years. It's not easy to see the way forward and get better, but I did it. If I could survive and eventually find my happiness, anyone can. It takes time though, so don't rush it.
Lots of bad stuff happened to you and you think that makes you a squish able caterpillar? I feel like it's the other way round: that you've got through all if that and now you're recovering ❤
Thank you for making an excellent song. So much can go wrong with physical problems. This is why we should adapt our skin to be more resilient to physical injury by hitting ourselves with rocks of slowly increasing weight.
Gradually develop an immunity to cataclysmic meteroid impacts. Like that masked hero in the princess bride movie after the villain switched the goblet, "both meteors were dinosaur extincters, but I developed an immunity."
I'm still holding out hope for my conscious to be uploaded into a robot version of me. I don't want this meat popsicle to melt with me still attached to it...
I've been blasting this for about 48 hours now and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I think you've made this generation's This Year by the Mountain Goats.
Man, I once left a negative comment on a video on your IG like 3 years ago and it’s been eating me up. Something like “this random shit is only cute for a second” but now I’m on your page daily to see what amazing random things you come up with. No idea how you do it. Shit and piss is even good because of how hard that beat goes. Anyways. Love your stuff and this is fantastic.
This man is a true musical genius providing positive energy and tunes that put a smile in your heart. The establishment will never allow this... but they can't stop raw talent from bursting through the barriers. Rock on Carter. Rock on.
I’m genuinely grateful that you went on to make a full song of this one. Your shorts are always musical quality, and hilarious. But, this one, makes me feel something in my bones I can’t get out of the radio.
We're all just struggling through together life together. Do what makes you happy, dont hold on to hate, let go of people who dont care. Deep meanings can be found in silly concepts, pain hidden in smiles. Carter you capture this perfectly in your art.
so many people are enjoying your shorts and missing that you've released a sincerely lovely song, you're promoting your music in such an understated way. i love the shorts and the full songs
This album means so much to me. Life hasn't been good to me lately, and I haven't been good to life for a long time. This has smoothed everything out. It's like new wave and country and so goddamm honest... thanks, Carter. This is my redemption soundtrack.
Thank you so much you helped me get past a part of my book I was stuck on, and I realized it was because I had the wrong character as the main one. All thanks to listening to this song on loop and realizing this was way too may near death experiences for a supporting character.
It's things like this that make me think more and more that art isn't optional, it's so needed so that we can see ourselves and understand the world better. Sorry for the deep comment but it wasn't until this that I knew what I was needing and that's worth everything
This song, baked Alaska and Arizona. Just wow. Your parody or fun songs are amazing, but those three are just perfect. Catchy, amazing melodies vocal wise and the guitar melodies. I love you bro.
You put this, Napoleon, Arizona, and Nashville on an album it wouldn’t leave my record player. We should all be vibing at a Carter show right now. Get Carter!
Holy crap I'm early to a Carter Vail video, I just wanna say I really love your music, both the funny and the serious, it's all bangers. I hope you continue to make great music☮
I just saw him last night play in Detroit!!! He was amazing and he looked so genuinely happy to be on stage I'll admit I didn't really know who he was but now I'm looking up his songs and listening to them and this one is my favorite
The juxtaposition of this channel is crazy, going from dirt man, to Nashville to never seen my butthole to harder to kill and I love every single piece you drop carter ♥️ keep doing what your doing
I love the use of imagery and figurative language! The hunting dog and rabbit lines were awesome! The story is relatable, but the lyrics are creative! It's great!
I love this so much. Really speaks to me and I relate and it makes me a little teary eyed. But it’s so good and it feels like a throwback to old OKGO. This should have some intense, choreographed music video to go along with it. Adore!
There is something of the absurd in this universe. I came here because of the Dirtman. And I did not have the dirt on me to give. He has taken me down, tore me asunder. I sit here dead fresh tears on my face as man lay his soul bare for the world. Who hurt you so and how is it you have shared your pain to me one who has not lived your life how do you paint so vivid a picture in so few words. Thank you. 😢
I have never wanted a random internet creator to hit big more than I have this guy. His songs are awesome, he's got solid talent, and his songs are hilarious in a relatable way. Come to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I will buy tickets.
the dirt boy has become the dirt man
I know, I had no idea he was the IG reel guy. I was like... how much did this breakup hurt him?
You're a genius... The fish will spare you when they come. 😂

His songs are fire and well made, He mus't be inteligent, i cant belive his stupid songs are just stupid songs.
For example in my place "I should be harder to kill" can mean i should not get "i
infatuated" so fast and it fits soo good to the rest of the song

I took it as a dream like sonf and how im always so weak in dreams lol
I'll always listen to something new from Carter. Every song is great. The shorts are great, but the actual music from Carter is always main playlist material.
💯 I can't wait for the album to drop
It's nutty, ain't it? Bud sounds like a factory for producing hit Singles.
Same
I didn’t even know he made full songs. I’ve been following him for a week now lol.
Its a goofy song for most of us...but for emo girls the word kill is in the name and there is reverb...so its romantic.
the “and you cant come” hits sooo hard

The pure emotion in "AND YOU CAN'T COME!" is what gets me.
We come for the dirt.
We Stayed for the man.
this channel is massively under subbed. talented as hell.
Real
I have decided to help fix that.
@@Stealth122333Im doing my part o7
holy cow, where did this guy come from and why am i only finding out about him now? I am certainly alerting my friends with taste.
That is about to change. When old, out-of-touch people like me are becoming aware of these amazing songs, it means he’s going viral.
Holy shit... hes learning karate.
You already know the aliens aren’t standing a chance
Aliens don't know karate
no karate's made on earth
I also don’t know karate
But i think that I could learn
Shit now I have to binge watch his shorts to get there, oh well
Those aliens are fucked now
Carter really caught us off guard with a song not about donkeys making paper airplanes. I absolutely love it!!
Same here he sounds so fucking good🙏🙏

Wow it turns out the dirt guy can sing very well, liking this stuff more and more
I'll be walking around singing this forever now. So good!
Spread the word -he deserves to be super famous -so much high quality music!!!
Have to say, Carter got the right combination of weird meme tunes and emotional pop bangers. Absolutely slaps son, good job
Bro has a vibe that just makes me wanna be his friend

I don't know why but your songs always bring me nostalgia for the early 2010s for when my life was simpler
its because of the Killers vibes. I heckin love the Killers
1:04 the “i should be harder to kill” in the background is so perfect!! keep up the good work!! :D
I love how you can see him realize it’s a generational banger more and more each chorus. Mans knows his own talent
Summer anthem 2024
Love the vibe and I can already tell that chorus is going to be getting stuck in my head 👌👌
God I love this song
“Harder to kill” is killing it! ❤
this is going straight into the summer playlist
I really like this one, great pop rock tune, the lyrics are good, too.
holy hell this is a dope ass song.
❤ Wow... this is gold

Hold my beer.
Those are my favs too!!
There's an album coming in September
Gonna be real. I jam out hard to every new song by this guy. Pls god don’t stop man
Impeccable vibes. This thing is going on my summer playlist
I've been writing my dissertation and the only things getting me through has been pepsi and your music, so cheers Carter! Love the new tune!
4 months after the break up and the dirt man made me smile on a way to relatable song. Man keep up with the work your a legend
AND YOU CANT COME!! 🗣️🗣️
You can tell just how much he loves making music and the joy is contagious :)
Carter " I don't wanna listen your song " For whaaaaaaaaaat 🤭✌️👩💻 Hiwot
Holy crap I'm early to a Carter Vail video, I just wanna say I really love your music, both the funny and the serious, it's all bangers. I hope you continue to make great music☮
Dude I'm so blown away by how good all of this guys stuff is. I think its only a matter of time before he makes a huge hit.
the music has a really 80's vibe in a good way plus the facial expressions are PRICELESS!
I love this SO much….I NEEDED this song in my life rn, cannot thank you enough ❤️
Carter is a fantastic musician. The shorts are fun but, his serious music is nothing short of fantastic
I've been listening to this song on repeat for a week now. The "and you can't come" bit always goes so hard
Hey yo, this is actually a freakin' BOP.
This guy should be so much bigger then he is, his music is so on point .
This is such an absolute banger, I've been listening to it non effin stop!!!!
I just saw him last night play in Detroit!!! He was amazing and he looked so genuinely happy to be on stage I'll admit I didn't really know who he was but now I'm looking up his songs and listening to them and this one is my favorite
Nostalgia intensifies with each note
my brain is happy listening to this tbh
Literally awesome. This is such a beautiful cathartic song, and it's so fantastic to see that emotion evolve in the video.
Honestly, this song quickly entered my top 10 favorites. Such an awesome song!
I miss music that sounds like this, and I love the song, man.
This song is just perfect!🙌🙌🙌🙌
didn't expect to cry to a song by carter vail but here we are
Man I really love how introspective this is. And it’s another example of your extraordinary melodic writing. Thank you for this
Holy hell! Okay, now I'm paying attention. This feels like being in highschool again.
On repeat for 3 hours 😊

T swizzle better look out cause this dudes writting bangers
Carter Vail is immediately going in my white boy summer playlist. Epecially "Dirt Man" that'll throw people for a loop
Great and original content. I love your songs❤
2:22 And it was right then I realized... this is a song about breaking up with an alien. Really hits in the feels
In. The. Playlist. Don’t ever stop making stuff
I love this so much. Came out during a breakup of an 8 year relationship and the lyrics are perfect.
I love the use of imagery and figurative language! The hunting dog and rabbit lines were awesome! The story is relatable, but the lyrics are creative! It's great!
Such a great musician.
This is insanely good
Dude, you’re so cooked when the devil comes collecting but also one human soul for this banger? What a deal famiglia.
Dude! keep it up this is a bop!
Dirt man got me in the door. The genuinely good tunes kept me around 🤠
Its a summer jam that everyone will love and then listen to it a second time and have a few WTF moments only to jam to it for the rest of the summer.
Love this. Made my list of best songs I found this year.
Thanks for showing everyone (and me) that we can do silly and serious stuff as the same artist without having to compartmentalise 🙏🏻
aye this bangs when you're a little drunk and alone
Sure does, buddy. Sure does. ❤
I love this so much. Really speaks to me and I relate and it makes me a little teary eyed. But it’s so good and it feels like a throwback to old OKGO. This should have some intense, choreographed music video to go along with it. Adore!
I've been listening to this so much, it's so freaking good.
I was tired, sleep kept eluding me but now I am grooving.
I love this so much... I have benn thinking for over an hr on what to say... I have nothing but just... Thank you
A song about looking back at your mistakes and not growing up.
God this hits my heart hard
This song has been stuck in my head for two months now and i don't think it'll go away any time soon.
Thats such a pretty background
Dude, I love how you're just genuinely feeling that beat. It fills my heart. Freakin' banger dude.
