Liner Notes

A good friend of mine mentioned on the phone the other day that he's going through some health and other concerns currently. He said, to me, "Sufferin' Sucks". So I told him I'd write a song about it so everyone else can commiserate too!

EDIT: I turned the snaps down a lot. Nobody seems to like that choice.

Lyrics

Gray days are passin' by
Eyes full o' dusty sky
Heart heavy pain don't lie
Sufferin' sucks, crucified

Lonely nights long and cold
Soul's weight gettin' old
Broken dreams never told
Sufferin' sucks losing hold

Sufferin' sucks deep down
Depression is a lonely clown
Heartache wears a frown
Sufferin' sucks I have found

Troubled mind thoughts collide
Can't hide it all inside
Hope fades, teardrops dried
Sufferin' sucks magnified

Shadows grow, cannot breathe
Broken like falling leaves
Tangled up in my sleep
Sufferin' sucks empty streets

Sufferin' sucks deep down
Depression is a lonely clown
Heartache wears a frown
Sufferin' sucks I have found

Very Willie Nelson, I like it! Really clever lyrics, I love the imagery (especially depression being a clown). I really liked the snaps actually! It suits the song (in my mind at least). Great work!

Nice quality lyrics. You keep well to the theme, albeit a sad topic. But relatable. Interesting production gives it more interest. Good work.

Nice job exploding the profundity of your friend's simple statement. I really like the lyrics and how you managed to find so many fitting rhymes.

A gentle and nicely empathic message of support. Commiserations from me, for sure.

I have to agree that the click track is irritating, though. Particularly as the rest of the music ignores it completely...

Very well put together. Must admit that I'm reminded of 'Suffering Succotash,' though that was a commiserative comment too in it's way.

Dug the rhyming in this and the unfolding lament being told really struck good chord with the lyric's subject matter. You captured sadness well, too, in your vocals with that underplay cadence and weeping, telling guitar play. I wasn't a fan of that "clicking" sound throughout, though, in the music. It was quite a distraction and, for me, felt out of place. Really a cool lyric/song, though. Your friend should be proud. Here's to brighter days!
