Lyrics: 

Baby I’m sorry for me
Baby I’m sorry don’t leave
Maybe you won’t ever see
Baby I’m sorry for me

I’m not the one you fall in love with 
Don’t take your chances 
I’m not romantic 
I’m not the type you feel enough with 
Whatever your stance is
don’t change your plans if
I say I’m coming home early
I’ll bring the drinks, hope you’re thirsty
I’ll test my luck 
Try to make up 
won't ask for much 
Stay till we’re done

maybe i make mistakes
am i bad?
I even kept this beat in my head
I keep time and rhythm
I don't keep you by my side
If i can rhyme with synonyms 
I might feel some pride
don't go yet
wish i could hit reset

Baby I’m sorry for me
Baby I’m sorry just eat
Maybe I’ll try not to speak
Cos baby im sorry for me

Maybe I’m not what you need
Maybe you would disagree
Maybe you want an apology
Well baby I’m sorry for me

baby i'm sorry for me (demo)

Rising Pop Sensation Tom Nethersole redefines what it means to be a "TWINK" with new song. Tom shares, "TWINK shows there’s no one way to be queer. It’s about being the perfect match for that person in the moment, just the way you are. Giving into lust instead of societal expectations."

Lyrics:

I’m all yours
Is it the energy of going out at night
That makes me feel like we should share a ride?
Is that alright?

I hate the smell of cigarettes but you’re making it look so hot
The burning tip resting on my lip as you suck in what you want 
(what you want)

Breathe me in like nicotine
Tell me i’m all you need
I’m all yours on all fours
Show me what it means to be your perfect little twink
Your perfect little twink

Tell me when i’m on your mind
Call me when you wanna grind
Out of 10, you’re 69
I’m back again by your side

Tell me when i’m on your mind
Call me when you wanna grind
Out of 10, you’re 69

I hate the smell of cigarettes but you’re making it look so hot
The burning tip resting on my lip as you suck in what you want 
(what you want)

Breathe me in like nicotine
Tell me i’m all you need
I’m all yours on all fours
Show me what it means to be your perfect little twink
Your perfect little twink
Perfect little

Tell me when i’m on your mind
Call me when you wanna grind
Out of 10, you’re 69
I’m back again by your side

Is it the energy of 
your perfect little twink
Is it the energy of
Perfect little
Is it the energy of
Is it the energy of
Perfect little

Final Bow

Pop artist Tom Nethersole is back with Ardmona Road, a track that captures the rush of falling in love for the first time - the kind of love that feels safe, hopeful, and worth taking home to meet the family.

Written alongside Australian powerhouse creatives RARIA & Jordie Tomas, Ardmona Rd is a wistful and optimistic take on young queer romance, drawing on subtle elements of country and folk as a testament to Nethersole’s roots'. 

Blending warm, and fuzzy melodies with a pop sensibility and elements of country and folk, Ardmona Road is a wistful and optimistic take on young queer romance. Inspired by artists like Ryan Beatty and Noah Kahan, Tom’s raw storytelling shines through, making Ardmona Road a song that lingers long after the first listen.

"This track is about the kind of love you dream of - where everything just clicks, and for the first time, you feel like you belong," says Tom. "It’s deeply personal but also universal, especially for queer listeners who are searching for that fairytale moment we don’t always see reflected in music."

Tom has already established himself as a must-watch talent, performing at Midsumma’s Pride Street Party, Rockhampton River Festival, Always Live, and opening for Drax Project. He’s been featured on Rolling Stone’s “Best Australian Music of the Week”, as well as JOY FM, FBi Radio, Rhythm Club FM, and SYN.

With over 180k streams and a growing fanbase in Australia and the US, Tom Nethersole is cementing himself as a powerful new voice in Australian pop. Ardmona Road is just the beginning of what’s set to be his most compelling year of music yet. 


Ardmona Rd

Tom Nethersole returns with their most gut-wrenching release yet - The Bus, a haunting reflection on young queer love, betrayal, and the bittersweet ache of what could have been.

Drawing on acoustic folk-pop influences and inspired by the likes of Lizzy McAlpine,  Kevin Atwater, and Tiny Habits, The Bus weaves delicate production with brutally honest lyricism. It’s a snapshot of two teens on the verge of something real, only to be pulled apart by shame, expectation, and the quiet heartbreak of staying behind.

“This song is a collage of real moments,” says Nethersole. “It’s about growing up queer in a small town, about being confided in - then denied. There’s this loneliness in realising someone can love you and still choose a version of life that erases you.”

The Bus explores the emotional fallout of unspoken love, rejection, and the silence that follows. It’s confessional, sharp, and unflinching - balancing grief with clarity in every verse.

Having already begun turning heads with Ardmona Rd earlier this year, Nethersole is carving a space for queer narratives that are raw, complicated, and beautifully told.

Whether you’ve lived this story or are hearing it for the first time, The Bus demands to be felt.
