The Libertines- I Get Along

If ever there were a song to properly document the disintegration of a relationship, it’s this track. The friendship in questions here is that of former bandmates, Carl Barat and Pete Doherty, could the vigor and force inherent in this one be more emblematic of their legendary quarrels? The brilliant tirade of The Libertines ironically soothes listeners who seek a thrashing punk allusion to indulge in the condition of being an unsatisfied, angry adolescent AKA being pissed off. The actual sound, like the the musicians, clashes, shrieks even, leaving us with the incendiary remains of a volatile alliance.

“I get along just singing my song, people tell me I’m wrong…Fuck ‘em.”
