The guitar part in this song is really outstanding. Unexpected harmonics?? Alternate tuning? The hammer ons are really smooth. This is one in a million

Archie was 17 in this man... that's just wild

This kid is a fucking genius. This would be incredible for a 40 year old, but a damn 17 year old wrote this.

Whenever I feel sad I listen to this song. It doesn’t make you escape your feelings, just feels like a much needed someone to hug, sink into and feel protected. Listen to this live and I could die contently. Thank you for sharing Archy.

brb out getting ribs

Still gives me chills a decade later.

This is one of thee best songs of this generation, and the world doesn't know it. It's our job to spread.

i think this might be the best song ever made im not even exaggerating

I remember being a sophomore in high school and looking up to Archy. His music is so expressive and its all pure emotion. I guess we both grew up huh....fuck 9 years later already. Alot happens good and bad, and I guess that's what they call 'growing up'. Time seems to keep moving faster. Never lose your heart, still look up to u.

Manic depression and severe anxiety, taking care of 2 kids alone. My mind is dead but king krule music keeps me afloat along with my kids happiness

"girl.....don't you worry 'bout a thing" that is when my heart shudders. so nice

I'm still blown away by this bloke.

Fell in love with his music from the first note.

who else came back to hear this classic gem

This doesn't sound like Mac demarco at all. It's Krule and that's it. You know Mac demarco isn't the only other independent artist out there.

I was 13 when this came out. I’m 25 now. Currently sobbing.

I love everyone who comes back to this song

I’m convinced this is the most beautiful song I’ve heard in my entire life

He’s so fucking young bruh I just realized I grew up with this guy. First heard this when I was 13/14 years old. Never will forget when I first heard this. Honestly very life changing (music wise) he is the sole reason for me understanding/appreciating rock music and the different alterations of rock. Truly an amazing artist, never ending goose bumps when I hear him.

This was the song that was playing that May night she ran inside to get her Polaroid. I sat in the drivers seat looking up at the clear sky and I think for the first time ever, I felt like everything was gonna be ok. I was so naive. But that moment and this song I will remember forever.

he has something, not sure what but he does.

King Krule has the best fucking breakup music. No competition there.

One of the best pieces of art ive ever seen. I first heard heard this in 2013 and I was drawn to it because of how different and cool it was. Now I listen to it with maturity and insight as I am now 27. It is beyond me how anyone could ever create something as emotionally intelligent as this at the age of 17. It really puts so much into perspective for me.

performed this for a music practical in school. examiner was blown back by the the melody of the song. absolutely beautiful. cheers Archie, got a B+

This is the true voice of a Rock bad boy. Not the commercial one we usualy heard everyday. This kid is simply a genius, a special row talent. He is the young man to follow in the future. Keep it up boy!

still coming back to this MASTERPIECE a decade later. fack those times were good

My cousin loved this song.. he just passed away by gun violence . Rip Joel 8/10/24 I love you bro. You really never know when it’s your time.

The fact that he was just 17 years old when he droped this song is crazy

This song just came back to me man, dude really was 10 years ahead of anyone back then

This song is one of my favorite guitar songs of all time no question.

Remember when this came out and it was cool and people liked it and I liked it. Every birthday I have, I get chest pains. It gets worse every year.

I come back to this song every few months. Its part of my "have a smoke, put on headphones and really chill" playlist 😅 absolute beast of a song.

Imagine writing this fucking good at 17 it’s unbelievable

Still 2023 and i have everytime goosebumps 🥰Big thank u Archy

Still get chills after all these years, "girl.....don't you worry bout a thing"

Zoo Kid - Out Getting Ribs And hate runs through my blood Well, my tongue was in love But my heart, it was left above I've gotta be leaving now I thought I'd never be shut down But girl, I'm black and blue So beaten down for you Well I'm beaten down and blue... Don't break away I'll waste away Don't break away Lay me out across the grey Hours I should have kept at bay I had no chance to get away I can't escape my own escape Even more when it's sweet to the taste Red stairs lead sense astray I look up and see for faith But, girl, just lean over and say Lay me down Pull me out Take my crown Submerge the doubt (Sorry) But wait, I'll make my last request See, this could be the best But, boo, I need to rest Well, I've been broken down So much I's lost it now I'll just stop and say Girl, don't you worry 'bout a thing Girl... Baby... Blue... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLhkac2j3NTMiI0.html

I remember listening to this song back in 2014 . I was going through weird moments in my life and all I can say is that this song saved my life.

This gives me a feeling of time gone by. Not exactly nostalgia, just the outstanding feeling of how sometimes we are oblivious to how all those times slips away.

this song became an instant favorite of mine when back in 2016 and it takes me back to those simpler times in life just trying to discover new music as much as i could

this is so beautifully nostalgic.

Love you to Zoo Kid to King Krule, to the end of my life. Thanx Mate.

damn tilda swinton was rlly in her feelings with this one

And hate runs through my blood Well my tongue was in love But my heart was left above I’ve got to be leaving now I thought I’d never be shot down But girl I’m black and blue So beaten down for you Well I’m beaten down in bloom [Chorus] Don't break away I waste away Don't break away [Verse 2] And lay me out across the grey Hours I should have kept at bay Well I had no chance to get away I can’t escape my own escape Even more when it’s sweet to the taste Red stairs lead sense astray I look up and seek for faith Oh but girl just lean over and say Well lay me down Pull me out Well take my crown again He’s submerged in doubt [Verse 3] But wait, I make my last request See this could be the best But blue I need to rest See I been broken down So much has lost it now I just stop and say Girl don’t you worry ‘bout a thing Baby, blue

this is incredubly euphoric music, he adds such a sophisticated spin on classic music, its like the words are dripping from his mouth

This is truly timeless music. Art.

The art impeccable

Sitting in the car hotboxing jamming to this song rn almost 2023 baby

Damn its already been 6 years. Used to listen this everyday after hs

Timeless classic, one of my all time favorite pieces of music. Happy Birthday Zoo Kid!

12 years ago...I was younger when I first heard this. A lot younger. Now I've seen my mid-20's come and go like static, and here I am and here he still is. Life's just like that.

this is the best song ever no joke

This song is like a portal through time for me these days

I remember first hearing baby blue in the 7th grade. 6 years later and I still love his sound.

Here again after a tough day. And I have to say that there’s still nothing to comfort me the way this song does. Thank you Archy

This dude should have done all the fucking soundtracks in skins!!

I will show my kids this song. When I have them. Cheers

2021 and its still gold :)

This song finally made me realize that I’ll never have my dad again. No big smile no hug again. No shooting or talking and knowing he was the man and he’s got it. Got me losing it at 3 am. I’m a fucking wreck and I’m so lost. I don’t know what to do without him. I was so foolish and missed so many moments I wish I could have done something. I just want it back.

Iconic. Still giving me goosebumps 10 years later. One of my favourite albums ever.

this one of the best songs ever

Best version. It's ten years I keep coming

Can't believe this is almost 10 years old. I was hear when it was first uploaded and played this so many times along with the other early tracks, mostly under the King Krule moniker but this one was one I found when I went on a search for more tracks. Still holds up really well. Has a timeless rock quality to it.

Straight to the soul

What an amazingly talented individual he is. I love the simplicity of this video.

Reminds me of when they asked Bob Marley about punk rock and he said, "when meh check it, me is a punk." Awesome.

Why I like King Krule so much is like a mystery to myself. Cannot explain it to friends either. It is a state of mind so deeply rooted. Like we are on the same drug, but I am not on any drug except red wine. His voice and guitar and his accomplices on sax and bass and drum connect with me. I am at least reassured that I am not alone.

love this song I can't stop listening to it

One of the best songs I've ever heard

One of my favorite songs ever.

This song is the action of a hug in musical form. But you can't hug a song, Only keep on listening to it until it feels like it hugs you❤ Thanks Archie

i'm 11 years late but i love this song so much.

the fucking scream at 0:50

So happy I randomly stumbled across this song. This isn’t normally the kind of music I listen to but I’m so happy my Spotify recommended this beautiful song to me ❤️

This is SO special. After all this time, I still get the same feelings bubbling up listening to this beautiful song 😌

2020 is almost over and this song still hits the spot. Peace and love everybody 💙💙💙

songs that try to be deep these days are about as deep as a puddle but King Krule/zoo kid is really hitting depths with his songs. much appreciated.

i love when music videos are done in just one take.. it adds a feeling of 'realness'.

It's still so unique.

The instrumentals drive me insane

i always come back to the original ❤

I play this song when I go to Chile's.

Where was this when I needed it wtf

The bassline in the song feels as emotional as the voice, it flows with it.

i already miss the early 2010s

*I cannot be the only one who likes this a 100 times over the one he redid for the LP* The latter lacks the raw emotion that this one captures.

Need to see this lad -lovely poems and music to it

His hoarse voice coupled with the distorted jazzy melodies, despair drenched lyrics and the lynchian aesthetic. This man is a genius

this song is just something else I cannot explain how much I love it it's just more than beautiful I cannot find any word to describe it. It's just ...... something ... else

where was this song all my life

Still going back to this work of art. King Krule is easily one of the most talented musicians of this generation.

everyonce in a while i come back to king krule and remember how much i love these guys and thier awesome songs

"hate runs to my blood."

he will always and forever have my heart oh my god

This song always makes me think of her. Takes me back to happier times

I was listening to the live record, and it feels amazing to listen to an artist in his prime/ at the top of his game in the live environment It never changes

Am i beig rick rolled

use to do so much heroin to this song.. As soon as 0:40 hit, boom straight to my veins.. 3 months clean !!

finding this is literally life changing. i won't forget this

Aphex, Beatles, Smiths, etc…… and there’s only a few dozen songs that hit this deep. This is one of them.

im getting old.. this track is almost 10 yrs old
