Watch All The Ships Sink


Courting “Famous”

The members of Courting are very young men and “Famous” is very much a song from the point of view of someone who’s only just starting to realize they’ve aged into adulthood. I remember this being a confusing thing – wait, people I know are doing x, y, and z now? I’m expected to make actual decisions? Some of it is time flying, some of it is feeling confused why anyone would trust someone your age to do anything at all. The bittersweet current that runs through “Famous” is Sean Murphy-O’Neill feeling like he’s losing his grasp on social connections that have been meaningful to him. His vocal is kinda like a young English version of James Murphy and he approaches “All My Friends” sentiment from a very different angle, already nostalgic and wanting to pull everyone he knows back together again not long after they’ve left.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
