About the Artist
Lyrics
Nobody knows why we keep tryin' Why we keep tryin' And so on it goes I'm lookin' forward to the next letter that I'm gonna get from you A baby is born as a man lay dying As a man lay dying And so on it goes I'm lookin' forward to the next letter that I'm gonna get from you Sit beside me, watch the world burn We'll never learn, we don't deserve nice things And we'll scream self-righteously We did our best, but what does that really mean? I'm walkin' around, walking' around With my head down, my head down And I'm pushin' away, pushin' away Yeah, I'm pushin' away, pushin' away

Written in the wake of relocation and reflection, Courtney Barnett’s new album finds her trusting the subconscious - and a well-timed mantis.
It’s still recognisably Barnett - observational, dryly funny, emotionally candid - but presented through a process that feels newly energising.
Fourth record 'Creature of Habit' is out later this week.
The North American tour kicks off in Austin, TX, in May 2026.
She's set to perform the new track on The Tonight Show.
She'll play the shows while in the UK with Foo Fighters.
She's shared three singles from the record.
She'll play Manchester, Brighton and London.
The two shows form part of The Rolling Stone's 60th anniversary tour.
With Alvvays, Bartees Strange, Japanese Breakfast, Julia Jacklin, Lucy Dacus, Sleater Kinney, Snail Mail, Waxahatchee, Wet Leg and more, it's packing a killer line-up.
She's also playing a couple of new UK dates this summer.
Courtney Barnett is on a quest for joy, pulling optimism out of the darkness for a new album that’s quietly hopeful.
