![]() The song’s production stands out because of the subtlety in each of the song’s lines. The song’s production rounds out its most important elements. It still is not the last of the song’s most important elements. That juxtaposition makes the song stand out even more, showing that much more why it is such a strong first effort from the group’s new album. The energy in the song’s musical arrangement seems to send a message along with the lyrics of someone who is just fed up with that other person’s constant worries and woes, throwing up his or her hands in the process. What’s interesting about all of this is that when it is set against the backdrop of the song’s musical arrangement, the whole of the two elements wouldn’t seem to work together, but somehow it does. ![]() ![]() Yet again, that would seem to work with the song’s title, especially as the song’s subject says to that unnamed person, “I feel fine today/I had dreams of you in places I’ve not seen before.” It’s as if the song’s subject is saying to that person he/she knows that said person will be just fine. The song’s second verse seems to put some credence in the song’s lead verse as Rateliff sings, “You seem tired today/Were you up all night/Afraid of what the future might bring/I feel fine today/I had dreams of you in places I’ve not seen before/You get so carried away/Like lovers new to bodies first to touch you here/This ain’t a getaway/You build walls around your heart to lock it in/I’m gonna leave it all out there to dry.” Even more here, it seems as though the song’s subject is addressing someone, saying that person is making too much of a given situation or given situations. It could be argued that this is the song’s subject saying, “I’ll find a way to be okay.” That would seem to work in partner with the song’s title. The subject saying, “I’m on fire today/Ain’t no water here to calm or even put me out/I’ll find a better way,” is really left up to interpretation. Rateliff sings in the song’s lead verse, “I’m alright today/You gonna find a way to cross/And you gonna get there/And I’m on fire today/Ain’t no water here to calm or even put me out/I’ll find a better way/Am I crazy or the wind is gonna blow me down/I’m gonna leave it all out there to dry/I’m gonna leave it all out there/I’m gonna leave it all out there to dry up/I’m gonna leave it all out there.” On the one hand, this verse comes across as the song’s subject saying to another person that said person will be fine despite a given situation. The lyrical content presented in ‘You Worry Me’ is so interesting because of the discussion that it is certain to generate. Its lyrical content is just as important as its musical arrangement. It is just one part of what makes the song such an enjoyable first effort from this album. A close listen to the song reveals it is driven largely by the group’s rhythm section while Rateliff’s vocal’s and the song’s guitar line rest easily on that foundation to form a composition that will get stuck in any listener’s head. The song’s musical arrangement is a simple yet catchy and infectious composition that will easily appeal just as much to funk and soul fans as it will to rock fans. That is due in no small part to the record’s musical arrangement. ‘You Worry Me,’ the lead single from Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ sophomore full-length studio recording, is a work that gives audiences more hope than worry about the group’s upcoming album. ![]() All things considered, they make ‘You Worry Me’ a song that gives audiences more hope than worry about Tearing at the Seams. Each element is important in its own right to the song’s whole. Its production rounds out its most important elements, and will also be discussed later. Its lyrical theme is just as important to its presentation as its musical arrangement, and will be discussed later. That is due in no small part to the song’s musical arrangement, which will be discussed shortly.
