i usually listen to this on spotify but i guess im gonna start listening on youtube because the view count on this is abysmal for the absolute work of art that it is!

[lizzie]

this is literally the best song I've heard

[pssnm]

i got suggested this by spotify and fell in love... so shocked to find it with only 1.7k views????

[DavidDrury]

Discovered Sammy on accident, via Spotify's suggestions and I've been obsessed with Talk it Up and Kick it to Me. You're supremely talented Sammy, I need more!

[Valerescence]

it took me over a year to find this song… but im finally here, and it was worth it.

Verse 1}
Smoky walls, dusty halls, no one calls
And all the window plants are dying (la la la la..)
She'd talk it up, half empty cup, half-hearted love
Half of the time halfway through crying (ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh)

She don't live here by herself
Sleeping in the bed she's made
Reading books about self help
Working late on Saturdays
'Less she got something at stake

{Verse 2}
For heaven's sake, keep him awake, make no mistake
He break down daily with no warning
When you're 20 years old, do as you're told, get bought and sold
Its coldest early in the morning

And he's living on Tenth Street
Getting home right around dawn
Every night of every week
He's proving everybody wrong
Any day now, it won't be long
So listen when I say

{Chorus}
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

{Verse 3}
I've been holding my own, my rag and bone, lock up alone
I don't forget to double check it, now, no no no no...
And I learned to rely on me and I, straighten my tie
Lace my own boots zip my own jacket

Because I did the best I could
I got taken down again
But I got fire in my blood
I got sugar on my skin
And I got no where to begin
So listen and I'll say

{Chorus}
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

{Bridge}
See you get what you put in
So you cannot get upset
If you're just dipping your foot in
Because you don't wanna get wet
And you ain't made it big yet

{Chorus}
Don't you stop it
Give 'em all what they came here for
Gotta talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I'm doing it all for

Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

Don't you stop it now, woah
Never been done the same
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

This song makes me feel so good. Sammy Rae, you are so talented and unique. It sounds like a song that would be on Broadway!

[goofedpredator]

This song is the ONLY time a youtube ad has ever gotten my attention. Great song, on my playlist now severely under appreciated

I love this song! I've been playing it on a loop all day, sent it to the wife, she was happy to listen to it on the way home after a hard day. And don't get me started on the children dancing before diner ;) Thanks Sammy !

[Pedro_Larroza]

This is the ABSOLUTE MILLENNIAL ANTHEM and people are SLEEPING on it. I'm frustrated. (Spectacular in every way: melody, arrangement, vocal performance, and especially those DAMN lyrics).

[pauldkeiser]

My voice student turned me onto this as an assignment, and I find every not of this sheer brilliance, not only as a pitch matching exercise, but as just an absolute melodic feel-good tune!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[kazd]

She should do a song with Sara Bareilles. Cause that would be amazing. 😁

[thethDoctor]

It's a shame such amazing music gets lost in the shuffle of 2020. Good lord, you oughta be playing in Madison Square Garden!

[sofiavmms]

thank god spotify recommended this to me

[calvinwing]

Found Sammy Rae during the quarantine and this group is 100% my music MVP of 2020

Smokey walls, Dusty halls
No one calls
And all the window plants are dying
Should talk it up
Half empty cup
Half hearted love
Half of the time that we're halfway through crying
But she don't live about herself?
Sleeping in the bed she made
Reading books about self help
Working late on Saturdays
Less she got something to stay?
For heavens sake
Keep him awake
Make no mistake he break down daily with no warning
When we were 20 years old do as you're told
Get bottom shdbdjjdb it's coldest early in the morning
And he's living on 10th street
Getting home around dawn
Every mode every week he's proving everybody wrong
Any day now we won't be long
So listen when I say
Don't you stop it now come on
Give em all what they came here for
Never been there the same before
Talk it up till your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now come on
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
I've been holding my own
My raggin bone my cup alone
Now Don't forget to double check it
Learn to rely
My own jacket???
Because I did the best I could
I got taken down again
But I got fire in my blood
I got sugar on my skin
And I got nowhere to begin so listen when I say
Don't you stop it now come on
Give em all what they came here for
Never been down the same before
Talk it up til your face gets sore
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talk it up what I came here for
See I get what you're putting???
So you can not get upset
If you're just dipping your foot in because I don't wanna get wet
And I ain't made it big yet???
Don't you stop it
Give em all what they came here for
Gotta talk it up till your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now come on
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talk it up what I'm doin it all for
Don't you stop it now come on
Give em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up til you're face gets sore
Don't you stop it now come on
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talk it up what I came here for
Don't you stop it now
Never been done the same
Talk it up til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now come on
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talk it up what I came here for

[Sleepingenthusiast]

Quick, clever lyrics, beautiful vocals, and incredible production… I love this song

[mariosonic]

I got introduced to this by a streamer friend and i've been in love with it ever since.

[rebeccassweetmusic]

I can tell they love Chicago because the opening where those horns come in sounds like something Chicago would do. Every time I hear Sammy Rae & The Friends, they sound like Chicago, Sara Bareilles, and Ella Fitzgerald

[sarisups]

I love this song so so so much such a PERFECT song i cant even begin to explain 😭😭😭
