Cover art for Avant Gardener lyrics by Courtney Barnett

"all of a sudden, Im havin trouble breathin in. " Is a quintessential Meta-phrase ; ie. it breaks the song away from or takes it through the stream of conscious meandering narrative of another day -Monday- over the top to the level of Identity of/with the singer herself as she experiences her stage fright or performance anxiety masked as an asthma attack as she plays /reaches out to us/her audience, for reassurance ! It fundamentally establishes a personal connection between her and the listener as a tug on our empathic emotion and humanity , brings us in very close to her performing anxiety which is really nice of her to invite us this way into the music. Nothing more . Thank you Courtney . I like feeling not just the music but the performance and all that goes into it as art.
