1) a three-member folk-rock band from the UK.
Emily, Jessica, and Camilla Staveley-Taylor have been making music together since they were children, growing up in Watford, UK, England. Brought up in a house that echoed to the sounds of Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Beatles, singing in perfect 3-part harmony came naturally to these three sisters.Having started gigging in local pubs and cafes, The Staves are now captivating audiences on much bigger stages - earning rapturous encores with their exquisite songs of love & longing. Guaranteed to give you goosebumps, their extraordinary intertwining voices melt the most cynical of hearts.The Staves' Mexico EP will be released later this year via Atlantic Records.

2) a baroque pop band from NYC.
"Simple, yet intellectually challenging. Gloomy, yet beautiful. Artistically sophisticated, yet starkly presented...." (Indie-music.com)
"There are very few artists that consistently give me goosebumps. New York's Soren Anders [of The Staves] positively fits within this elite category. Over the last year, his stunning vocals and heartbreakingly beautiful melodies have won me over in a major way...." (The Music Slut Blog)

Tired as Fuck
The Staves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I'm tired as fuck
Dry my eyes on the back of my sleeve and do my coat up
Oh, I′m tired and stuck
Oh, I'm tired as fuck
Put down the phone, put on my gloves and wish me luck
Wish me luck
Oh, I'm tired as hell
Oh, I′m tired as hell
Busted bed and broken door and I′m keeping to myself
Oh, I'm tired as hell
Oh, I′m tired as hell
Put down the phone, put on my shoes
And wish me well
Wish me well
Never had a prayer to swallow
I'll be coming home tomorrow
Never had a prayer to follow
I′ll be coming home tomorrow
When I'm tired as fuck
Oh, I′m tired as fuck
Nothing no one ever can do to bring me back on
When I'm tired as fuck
Oh, I'm tired as fuck
Dry my eyes on the back of my sleeve
Just wish me luck
Wish me luck
Never had a prayer to swallow
I′ll be coming home tomorrow
Never had a prayer to follow
I′ll be coming home tomorrow
Never had a prayer to swallow
I'll be coming home tomorrow
Never had a prayer to follow
I′ll be coming home tomorrow

There should be more songs about being tired because it’s one of the hardest things about life.
@Sofi-451
I searched tired as fuck for fun and amazed that a real song exists. More than that the song is so so fucking good. ❤️
@latieplolo
My friend is a working single mother of two, one disabled. She’s constantly on overtime and works her ass off. Used to walk to work, sometimes over two hours one way, in any weather. This song always makes me think of her. The women out there working tough jobs and raising children at the same time are heroes.

@Ssalamanderr
Never heard of the Staves before, but this showed up randomly in my recommended videos and I am now a fan.

@Ssalamanderr
