Doing Nothing

of Montreal is a band from Athens, GA. The band’s recorded material can be divided into two distinct periods. Their early work focused on 60s-tinged pop and psychedelic elements channeled through the prism of Kevin Barnes’s unique lyricism. In more recent years of Montreal's style changed to a mixture of electronica, funk, glam, and afrobeat music influenced by Prince and David Bowie.

Nothing, we're doing nothing Sitting and wondering why nothing's happening Everyone was there In a wooden chair Doing nothing Still doing nothing Drinking, smoking Nothing's happening No one seems to care In their wooden chair Doing nothing I go walking through the park Underneath a moldy sky Thinking "yes I think this place Would be such a lonely place to die Such a lonely place to die Nothing we're doing nothing Literally frozen stiff from nothing happening Something has to change Cause it's no longer feeling strange To do nothing Ad nauseam nothing And feeling acutely every millisecond pass We can ignore that this is sad Because we know that it all adds up to nothing I go walking though the park Underneath the moldy sky Thinking about all the different ways that would make lonely ways to die All the lonely ways to die
