Tuesday August 2, 2022 “Adore” Amy Shark

For me there's something weirdly captivating about this song from Amy Shark, an Australian musical superstar.  Labeled an overnight sensation because her body of work hit all at once but Amy Shark had put in sixteen years of hard work to get to that ‘overnight’ status.

Amy Shark has so many hit songs in Australia, has been nominated for twenty eight ARIA Awards, the Australian version of the Grammys, and she has won nine of them.  She has APRA Awards, MtV Europe Awards, Queensland Music Awards, Rolling Stone Australia Awards and a host of others…all obviously Australian.

Amy Shark worked with Kieth Urban, Ed Sheeran, Diplo, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, and the Chainsmokers among many others.  So why isn’t she a US superstar as well…

We’ve had some songs in the past from the Australian radio show Like a Version and here’s another with Amy Shark doing an interesting interpretation of Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar, We’re Goin Down”.

Stay safe and well…and just why is she Amy Shark…because, according to her, Jaws is her favorite movie.

I'm just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm

I'm just gonna walk home kicking stones at parked cars

But I had a great night 'cause you kept rubbing against my arm

I'm just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm

 Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip

Just so I can adore you

I want the entire street out of town

Just so I can be alone with you

Now go when your ready my heads

Getting heavy pressed against your arm

I adore you

 All off my money is spent on these nights just so we can hang out

Spacing in and out of these dresses I wanna be found

By you, found by you

 Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip

Just so I can adore you

I want the entire street out of town

Just so I can be alone with you

Now go when your ready my heads

Getting heavy pressed against your arm

I adore you, I adore you

 I kick the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts

Watch me, watch him talk to girls

I'm known as a right hand slugger

Anybody else wanna touch my lover

 Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip

Just so I can adore you

I want the entire street out of town

Just so I can be alone with you

Now go when your ready my heads

Getting heavy pressed against your arm

Just to adore you, I adore you
