one of the best songs from the whole masterpiece of album.

[Thenewgambita]

Lullabies for grownups ❤️ pure medicine

[TheCrazytiger]

I listen to this when I walk my dog in the forest, I realized I was really feeling this and the lyrics hit me.. Homelessness at home.. Benzo timeline.. Passing me by and hallelujah.. Its so powerful. I'm happier when you're gone!!!

[garygabos]

HIS LYRICS ARE PERFECT AND SO IS HIS MUSIC.

[BrodyBaddis]

Joe, joe, joe, only fuck-ups need clean starts
I scream as you come my way
(I'm happier when you're gone)
Joe, joe, joe, the chime of love's texting your phone
Familiar as the clothes I own
California, Pensacola, go
I'm happier when you're gone

It's not easy, it's not easy
Homelessness at home
My life is bracing for your hug
You pass me to unplug your phone
Hallelujah

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
The smell of burning cattle hangs on the westerly
Sweeping up through the ferns

I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone

Benzo timeline, cuts smiles to straight lines
I'm happier when you're gone

it's not easy, it's not easy
Hopelessness on the range
(Happier) yeah, you're breathing hard in the pastures
not the lock, then what has to change?
(Happier) persecution is your favorite word

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
The smell of burning cattle hangs on the westerly
Sweeping up through the ferns

I'm happier when you're gone (happier)
I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone (happier)
I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone
I'm happier when you're gone

As a long time alt j fan, this is one of my favorite songs.

When I was 13/14 I had a boy on facebook who had the 'An Awesome Wave' album cover as his cover photo and I never knew what it was but thought it was really cool and it intrigued me. Shortly after, the summer of 2013, I was in HMV and saw the image from the boys cover photo. It was on a 2 for 10 pound stand. I bought it along with the Palma Violets debut album. I listened to them albums all summer and they still sit on the top tier of my music taste/influences, they set the groundworks for me. That was a very vibrant time in music, like a little explosion happened. I bought NME every week and worked as a paperboy 7 days a week. Swim deep, tame impala, alt j, palma violets, peace, foals, haim, sundarma karma, wolf alice etc. Some of the bands pushed it further and have only got bigger through the years but they all came from this little pocket of time. After the summer of 2013 I saw my first gig in the September, September 22nd on a Sunday to be precise because I had school the next day. The gig was Swim Deep headlining and Wolf alice and sundarma karma supporting. Cardiff the globe. Me and my father went, I was 15. The next morning I walked into school slightly late and my teacher said where have you been and I felt all cool and mature saying I had been to a gig the night before. I love life

[IggySquirrelz]

This song reminds so much of An Awesome Wave.

[QKvox]

This is a masterpiece, I love the slow build

[theophora]

This piece is making me nostalgic for something I've never experienced. I cant stop listening to this.

[kaboomslays]

glad alt-j is back at making some good music again i miss listening to them

[luckylucs]

I had this friend that made me feel miserable every time we would chat on the phone. I felt like he was a better version of me that I could never follow or be at the same page, he was the type of guy who loved to talk about his life but never to listen about other people's. This song reminds me of these situations I had while being his friend.

[dissoziiert]

I've been listening to this one on repeat, I think I fell in love with this song

[thebabycakes]

One of the best bands to exist, its so nice to listen to music from artists who genuinely do it for the music.

[Jonathan-ondy]

Favorite line benzo timeline turns smiles to straight lines hits different also the homelessness at home line rehab always felt like that

[Winged_skylily]

Just wanna say how we all literally love you guys. Joe, Gus and Thom and everyone who makes these awesome music possible, we appreciate you so much. Your music means the world to so many people, hope you're all well♡

[miniksteenholdt]

Love the vibe, gonna listen to this a million times!

[pandamoina_]

Needed this back in my life today, Thank you alt-J.

[moongrime]

I share the name Joe, with the lead singer, and this song crushes me. Every word has meaning that correlates to my reality. Art that comes from the soul, and from personal conflict, always touches those who experience it.

[terrariumbyaish]

Didn't know I needed this until now.
