about

Hey You” is an indie disco banger for the socially anxious. Repeated words are delivered with a voice that’s frayed around the edges, capturing a spiralling frame of mind. The track’s production pushes the mood further – detuned synths and the sound of a stolen language learning record magnify the mental push and pull of not wanting to let people down, while also not wanting to get off the couch. But Ducks! take these bad feelings and make you feel good about them – “Hey You” is filled with the kind of energy that could convince the introvert in you to get out of the house and onto the nearest dance floor.

lyrics

Hey you
the sun is setting,
and I'm letting you down again,
So unadventurous in the living room,
I see us spending the night
like we spent the afternoon.

I have had a breakdown
I have had a breakdown
Stay here
Stay here
Stay here
Stay here

It's true
it sounded tempting,
But I let the fear in again
And now I found myself glued.
