This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I didn't get my invite
Could be lost in the mail or something
I'm gonna be there tonight
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I can see right through her act
She said something about me
And all the cool kids made a pact
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
What does she have to celebrate?
It's not a party if I'm not there
Just her stupid friends and a birthday cake
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
And what do you mean that I can't go?
(What do you mean I can't go?)
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
(You take me for a fool)
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
I didn't get my invite
Could be lost in the mail or something
I'm gonna be there tonight
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

Awwww. I'm a Julie but I would never "chuck" someone in their birthday. Or any holiday really. Now please don't ruin mine. Thanks. (Hope things are going smooth for you once again.)
