When writing a profile, you can’t just base everything on your feelings. After all, it’s English Composition 101 to show, not tell. Like so, when I decided to write about Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile’s new single, “Over Everything,” I had to listen to the song multiple times and watch the video repeatedly. After many views and replays, the most obvious thing that showed this is a natural collab was how each artist was able to sing the other's lines in the video. But that’s not all.

“Over Everything” falls under the rock category (indie rock is not a genre) and it has been well received. Pitchfork named it “best new track” and even NPR couldn't help but feature it in their “Songs We Love” column.

However, I think the coolest thing about this song is its effortlessness. It sounds simple enough that I wouldn't be surprised if beginner guitarists had picked up their laptops and frantically searched for the tabs, filled with the excitement that comes from learning a new song. But in the midst of basic strumming patterns and blues rhythms that hang over everything, there are hidden riffs, string bends, and hammer-ons that well, make it or break it. And that’s the beauty of “Over Everything”.

This ±6 chord song can easily deceive, but you shouldn’t underestimate it. This is not your go-to up and down strum song. Vile and Barnett have a smooth fingerpicking ability and a left-hand dexterity that’s only acquired through time, and they give it their all in “Over Everything”. So give it a listen. Check out the video. And be on the lookout for the full collaborative album, “Lotta Sea Lice,” coming out on October 13th.

Oh and I looked it up, according to Ultimate Guitar the difficulty is novice. So, let's just say I agree to disagree.
