After I graduated college, I had the longest songwriting drought since I started writing songs. I honestly got scared that I was done for the foreseeable future. This was the song to finally get things going again. I went all summer without finding a job that would fit my degree and just started working as a part-time janitor at my town’s park district while I kept searching. This is another song about finding myself in a rut and then yelling at myself about it (this is a theme throughout all my songs I think...) I was gonna write more myself, but in me and Rigby’s room there’s a Cometbus quote literally sitting on the wall right next to me that says it better than I can: ͞It’s too easy to just let yourself be defeated, to wallow in the comfort of suffering. To let your self-destructive tendencies become your whole life. To retreat and hide from the world you could have taken by storm. To keep the fruits of your creativity to yourself and let them rot on the vine. It’s too easy to say you’re a loser and think there’s something noble about failure.͟ Okay, so maybe this song isn’t that dramatic, but hey!
I found Days N' Daze right at the end of a long term relationship falling apart into a toxic mess. This album really helped me get through it. Call in the Coroner in particular was on repeat many days. Thanks for the tunes y'all! Tribar
