About This Track

'Shuggie' packs light bounce and climbing choruses into three minutes, mixing the playful imagery of rhinoceros-shaped earrings and haunted parlors with a core of emotional unease. The song moves between whimsy and heartbreak, its narrator caught between casual observation and the sting of unrequited feeling, repeating the refrain "you don't love me, that's news to me" as both shield and wound. Foxygen fill every corner of the track with unflappable personality, the melody lifting and falling with the kind of melodic confidence that recalls the orchestral pop ambitions of earlier eras. Beneath the brightness sits a song about the gap between what you hope someone feels and what they actually do, delivered with enough levity that the sadness sneaks up on you.

"Shuggie" is a track by Foxygen, from the album We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, released 22nd January 2013. The track is 3:22 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Shuggie

I live in the palm of your hand, down the stream, see
King of flowers off the floor and drinking tea
But you don't love me, that's news to me
I met your daughter the other day, that was weird
She had rhinoceros shaped earrings in her ears
But, hey man have a soda, it's on the house
Remember what I told you, about the rooms inside this house
But you don't love me, that's news to me
That's news to me, that's news to
I begin and I begin, and I
If you believe in yourself you can free your soul
My heart is breaking in two, I don't know what to do
But you don't love me, that's news to me
That's news to me, that's news to
I begin and I begin, and I
If you believe in yourself you can free your soul
My heart is breaking in two, I don't know what to do
You were right with the words, you make it too loose
I'm happy if she's happy
