Well, Actually

Barney Beagle I like Library Card very much, one of my favourite bands. All the band members compliment each other to form a very cohesive unit. Each track they release seems to better the previous one. I hope we get an album before long. Great songs, very good rhythm, upfront bass, and excellent production. And, I love Lot van Teylingen's vocals, both in style and her subtle accent. I would also like to hear an occasional song sung in Dutch. I highly recommend this band.

about

“This is our love letter to the patriarchy. One must view ‘Well, Actually’ as a friendly yet firm reminder of what unsolicited advice not to give to a band that’s fresh off the stage, often fuelled by mansplaining or perpetuated by heteronormative norms. We are perfectly capable of asking for it ourselves when in need.“

lyrics

Well, actually
Oh my god, you're in that band, that's so cool
Would you mind if I gave you a little bit of advice
about everything?
Well, actually
Your guitarist is working way too hard, you need a second one

Your bass player's alright, but your drummer kind of sounds off sometimes
Or did I hear that wrong?
Well, actually
You know, I feel like I have to keep looking at you and I don't know why
It's fascinating

Have you ever heard of Sonic Youth?
Or Kim Gordon?
It's like you're the same person
Well, actually
You'd be way prettier if you smiled more
Just a bit more pleasant for me to look at
Well, actually
No, I don't make music myself I'll just take up all this space because I can
'cause I'm a man

Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually

Did you seriously come up with all of those words yourself
I couldn't understand half of them

Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually

Would you let me play devil's advocate for just one minute
I'm not entitled
I have rights
You know I love women just as much as the next guy
Please don't reduce me to my gender
It's not right

Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually

You're getting emotional
Stop being ridiculous
You know, you always do this

Well, actually
I was just making a point, you know
Oh now I'm the bad guy
It's not right

Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually
Well, actually

Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
