For My Sunday Song #435, we are going to visit a song that I only know because of my daughter. It is Nessa Barrett’s brutal song “I Hope UR Miserable Until UR Dead” off her debut E.P., ‘Pretty Poison’ released back in 2021. The song was written by a whole slew of people including Nessa herself. It also has Evan Blair, Madi Yanofsky, Samuel Mark Catalano and Tim Randolph. The song only went to #88 on the Billboard Top 100 chart, but it is #1 in my book.
Some toxic relationships end and you can either take the high road and move on and not look back or you can take the low road and be petty and bitter. This song is the latter. She is completely brutal in this song wishing this guy was miserable until he dies…that is harsh. It talks about how toxic he was and she wants to call him out for all the bad crap he’s done, but won’t. She knows that his true colors will show and his friends will end up hating him since he really is a little shit. She does let him go and moves on with her life, but still wants him to be miserable. Toxicity should not be tolerated and you should always get out of those type of relationships.
Nessa’s vocals are really awesome. This sweet sounding angel with the mouth of a sailor really shines throughout the song. I think her vocals are what make the song. What I like about the song is the rock sound with the heavy guitar riffs during the hard parts and soft acoustic guitars during the slower parts. And the drum beats are heart poundingly brutal and make you feel the anger that really lies behind those lyrics. A dark, brooding song that has such great pop sensibilities with its massive hooks and melody. A killer track.
Give the song a listen and let me know what you think. I have to thank my daughter for this one as Nessa is one of the few artists she listens to that I can tolerate. A talented young lady that sounds like you wouldn’t want to piss her off. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Sunday!
“i hope ur miserable until ur dead”
I still hear your voice, tryna rip my world to pieces
But I’m not your toy, you can break and leave there bleeding
The damage is done, moving on if I’m ready or not
But you drag me through mud, here I come now, I’m petty as fuck (I’m petty as fuck)
I hope you never fall in love again
I hope you’ll be yourself and lose your friends
I hope they call you out for shit you said
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
I hope you’re miserable, oh
So fucking miserable, oh
I hope you’re miserable
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
Been keeping your shit to myself
If I said it out loud, you’d be burning in hell
And I can make everybody hate you
Almost as much as you hate yourself
But I won’t ’cause (I won’t)
I know (I know)
One day it’ll come around
But fuck you for now
I hope you never fall in love again
I hope you’ll be yourself and lose your friends (lose your friends)
I hope they call you out for shit you said (you said)
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
The damage is done, moving on if I’m ready or not
But you drag me through mud, here I come now, I’m petty as fuck (I’m petty as fuck)
I hope you never fall in love again
I hope you’ll be yourself and lose your friends
I hope they call you out for shit you said (you said)
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
I hope you’re haunted by all your regrets
I hope they fuck you up inside your head
You know I don’t forgive, I don’t forget
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
I hope you never fall in love again
I hope you’ll be yourself and lose your friends
I hope they call you out for shit you said
I hope you’re miserable until you’re dead
