Courtney Barnett Shares 'Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To' + Video

Live gigs, going to the pub, The Others Way, karaoke, Courtney Barnett's album Things Take Time, Take Time. There you go Courtney, I did as your new single says to — 'Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To'. As per the theme of her forthcoming third studio album, the Melbourne folk-pop queen is embracing all the charms of lockdown in the lead up to release day, like the self-prescribed pace shift of lead track 'Rae Street', and now the highly relatable search for joy in 'Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To'. Barnett picks the tempo up a little in the new drop, singing on the simple and poignant nature of friendship and its often under appreciated value. On this phase of her songwriting, Barnett said "I found a deeper communication with people in my life – deeper conversations ... and a new level of gratitude for friendships that had been there for so long that I had maybe taken for granted”. Of course Barnett delivers gold on the music video element of the single too, receiving postcard after package after parcel in the wholesome Christina Xing-directed clip, including an excellent nod to Mort Garson's Mother Earth's Plantasia. Listen to 'Write A List Of Things To Look Forward To', then do as Courtney says and make that list...

Courtney Barnett's third album 'Things Take Time, Take Time' is out November 12th via Milk! Records.
