Hey, music lovers, get ready to sink into the soft, reflective vibes of “Westerberg” from Blood Orange’s Essex Honey album, out on August 29, 2025. Devonté Hynes, the genius behind Blood Orange, delivers something special here, with Eva Tolkin and Liam Benzvi adding their soulful touch. This track is all about looking back, with Hynes murmuring about slipping into familiar times and rediscovering forgotten songs, as noted by Stereogum. It’s got that dreamy, hazy feel, blending the lo-fi pop of Negro Swan with the emotional depth of Freetown Sound.
As part of Essex Honey’s exploration of grief, memory, and healing through music, “Westerberg” feels like a quiet moment of introspection. If you’re a fan of Blood Orange’s ability to mix raw emotion with lush sounds, this one’s for you. Scroll down for the Westerberg lyrics and soak up the nostalgic vibe.

Lyrics of Westerberg by Blood Orange
[Verse]
Take It Outside, Watch Yourself Grow
Regressing Back To Times You Know
Playing Songs You Forgot You Owned
Change A Memory, Make It 4/3
Visualise What You Want To Be
In Your Ear Sings Paul Westerberg
He Says
[Chorus]
“I’m In Love
What’s That Song?
I’m In Love
With That Song”
But It’s Easier To Breathe When The Tar Floats Down Your Stream
And You Squint To See The Truth
That There’s No Longer Your Youth
Got More Things To Do
[Chorus]
“I’m In Love
What’s That Song?
I’m In Love
With That Song”
But It’s Easier To Breathe When The Tar Floats Down Your Stream
And You Squint To See The Truth
That There’s No Longer Your Youth
Got More Things To Do
[Outro]
I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore
I Don’t, I Don’t Wanna Be Here
