Can't Be Cool - Louise Steel (Original Song Acoustic)

I'm excited to present this live acoustic version of one of my brand new songs, "Can't Be Cool"! It's not perfect or cool by any means, but it's a perfect reflection of me lol! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed performing! :)

On our last video we had a request to do a live stripped back performance, so we decided to keep this one fun and simple!

My new album "Night Reign" is available on iTunes and many other digital stores.

Lyrics:
Vibing in my room in the middle of the day
Channeling Marilyn and Lana Del Rey
Yeah we go way back baby haven't you heard
Sunglassed soliloquy there in my best dress babe

And my words are poisoned poetry just like her's
Casual magic on an ice cold dart
Cute little package so together like art
But as soon as you're there I just fall apart

'Cause I just can't be cool around (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool
No I just can't be cool around you (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool

In front of the mirror a cool drink of water
But in front of you I don't know what the hell to do
Words tripping out like a car engine stalling
At a green light go leave the red behind

No filter in this head it just has to be said
Social hand grenade with a red face babe
Did I, did I, just say that out loud
Can we just start over erase the stupid starting now

'Cause I just can't be cool around (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool
No I just can't be cool around you (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool

An oasis of calm on a desert of dreams
Me, myself and I, kicking back as we please
Sandy beaches of certain, golden sun on my side
Want to be near you but my dignity deserts me every time

'Cause I just can't be cool around (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool
No I just can't be cool around you (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool
'Cause I just can't be cool around (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool
No I just can't be cool around you (round you)
Blame it all on you I just can't be cool...
