Lyrics:
If I were a Tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn
These are the things that I never will learn
These are the things I never will learn

I live in the shrubbery for that's all I crave
I don't want these excitements to see me to my grave
I can live life in vacuums for years with no drink
And put up with hardships more than you can think
And put up with hardships more than you can think

If I shed all my liquid and let myself dry out
I'll shrivel and sleep for some 15 odd years
I'd wake up come water and get on with living
With time in my pocket to pass by the day

If I were a Tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn
These are the things that I never will learn
These are the things I never will learn

For I am a Tardigrade and I'll stay at home
I'd not trade it for anything, not a knife, a cup, or a throne
Well all I want is my shrubbery and my little patch of moss
With my whisky in the cabinet
And my feet all clothed in socks
And my feet clothed in socks

Cosmo is one of those musicians that I'm certain has some depth or message to his songs but I refuse to acknowledge it. I choose to believe this dude just loves biology and puts it to a melody

Imagining a tardigrade drinking whiskey and wearing tiny socks.

Sounds like something that you'd hear in a Medieval-type Tardigrade village, being played in some old Tardigrade Tavern while next to a Tardi-fireplace

it makes me think of a very short little knight who is incredibly resistant, but after one mission with the king he basically is like ā€œnah i think iā€™ll stay homeā€

i think that the lyrics are beautiful because on one hand people are saying that if they were a Tardigrade then they'd live out their lives and explore. While on the other hand actual Tardigrades just want to live in their shrubbery.

This song is basically the plot of "The Hobbit" if Bilbo Baggins were a Tardigrade instead of a Hobbit...

This song feels exactly like a sea shanty. Thereā€™s even an effect that sounds like someone turning a shipā€™s wheel. You can imagine a bunch of sailors singing this at sea.

This song inspired the most unfair D&D boss I have ever conceived of. Thank you.

I've always felt the tardigrade (aka water bear) needed it's own song. Didn't know it already had one.

I'm sad that YouTube only lets me like this once.

This song inspired me to buy a microscope, collect moss from the window of an old van, and successfully view a real life tardigrade shuffling around in a drop of water.

Pov: You're lying in bed, it's 3:28 in the night. You just fell asleep listening to music, maybe five minutes ago. But you wake up, headphones in your ears, to this song. You're not tired anymore. With an awakened heart you lie in the dark, listening to it, sure to sleep afterward, dreaming of things no men can imagine.

Tardigrades are pretty much immune to anything

I've heard people say this sounds similar to alt-J, and while I can hear it, it sounds more like a Scandinavian folk song to me than anything else.
