Norwegian bedroom-pop singer/songwriter/producer Marie Ulven, better known as girl in red, is releasing her debut album i could make it go quiet at the end of the month. And today, she’s sharing the new song “You Stupid Bitch.” As she explains in a statement:
There’s this line from this movie I love, The Perks of Being a Wallflower that goes ‘we accept the love we think we deserve.’ It’s a very heartbreaking line, but it’s really what I was experiencing in this situation, where I was always there for this person who would get their heart broken, and I would just come running. I would drop everything just to be there for them. That person would never see me as anything else than just a friend, even though I feel like I could’ve made her so happy…. The core essence of this track is like, I’m obviously here for you, and I want to be with you, but you keep messing around with other people, and you keep getting broken. It’s this really direct, straightforward track.
