Back on it Monday

Liner Notes

A song about my complicated relationship with food and exercise.

There's a really nice t-shirt I bought from an immigration charity about 8 years ago that I would have fit into about a month before I bought it, and haven't fit in it since.

#indiepop #rock

Lyrics

they either burn up or latch on
I used to count them in and count them out
should i dabble in confusion and anger
a charity t-shirt that’s fucking its hanger

[excuses, excuses]
I need them
i’m tired, and i’m too dry
endorphins, I’d rather die
[excuses, excuses]
I bleed for them
i’m busy, it’s a black sky
endorphins, I’d rather die

I used to find it so easy
run to a run to a run to a run
clown trousers to remind me
now i just wait for the sun

excuses, excuses
I need them
i’m tired, and i’m too dry
endorphins, I’d rather die
excuses, excuses
I bleed for them
i’m busy, it’s a black sky
endorphins, I’d rather die

feeling ok
back on it Monday

is this is something I should be feeling
something I should be fixing
something that i can brush aside
is this is something I should be feeling
something I should be fixing
something that i can just let slide

I relate to the subject matter and this has a great beat. Funky bass line and I feel like I'm hearing a song from my childhood. You really nailed the vibe.

Not sure I’ve heard you done guitary like this before- well with some synth stuff chucked in too, natch. Has some sort of 80s pop vibe though I’ve no idea where I’m getting that from. Nice layering. Catchy chorus. A little bit Alex Turner?
What’s that looney tunes style comic sound effect opening about then? 😄

This song really speaks to me! I was just thinking I need to go for a brisk walk after work today. I love all the layers you have created. There's a video game type vibe as well which I'm sure is deliberate!

I love the chords on the chorus, you've created a really fun mix here! The harmonies on the second verse are great too. I love this song topic, I think it's something that almost everyone has grappled with in some capacity but there's not too many songs out there that explore this! I love the outro too, the synths sound great!

That Bombay Bicycle Club style bass is ridiculously good. The chorus feels almost Beatle-y even though it’s way more advanced harmonically than that suggests. This is so incredibly pop I can hardly believe it. Everything has a (really appropriate) propulsion to it. Fine, I’ll lace up my running shoes.
