Heard this song by Rilo Kiley today and was completely blown away. I watched Hannah Gadsby’s standup show, “Nanette” this afternoon and it’s super funny, then super honest and brave. Then this song rolls. “A Better Son/Daughter” is a fantastic ending credits song for that show.
It may be because it’s my perspective, but the song screams bipolar disorder to me. It’s depression, then it’s when “you’re on, you’re really —ing on” — which is how I’ve described myself at times. There’s expletives, so don’t listen around kids or sensitive ears.
Enjoy.
