First off - I'm fine haha
I'm in pain today, and started thinking about how comically oversized my (internal) reactions start to feel when I've reached a limit.
I thought it was a good time to bust out the guitar and do the #capochallenge so I threw it on a random fret without paying much attention and was like yea awesome, what a cool key! Then realised it was on 5 and I'm just back in C major with extra steps lol.
Quick and dirty one, well into FAWMtime now
Sundays have never made sense to me
I’ve had practice staring down the week
And it’s weaker than it’s ever been, but Sunday just keeps happening
And if it happens again I’ll probably punch it’s lights out
I don’t think you should ask me how
I don’t think you should ask me
I don’t think you should ask me how I’m doing
Yesterday a guy said he liked my socks
He forgot and stopped me again for cash on the very next block
And there’s nothing wrong with looking for money, love or something in between
But if you’re looking at me I’ll probably rip your eyes out
I don’t think you should ask me how
I don’t think you should ask me
I don’t think you should ask me how I’m doing
Some days you just get out of bed all wrong
And some days it’s just another day in a shit tsunami seven years long
And I don’t need your sympathy but I don’t know what you want from me
And if it’s literally anything I’ll probably tear your spine out
I don’t think you should ask me how
I don’t think you should ask me
I don’t think you should ask me how I’m doing

Brilliant! So many great turns of phrase in this one, but my favorite has got to be: "but Sunday just keeps happening // And if it happens again I’ll probably punch it’s lights out."
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Lovely tune, the last line of each verse had me laughing.
@bethkille Feb 2022
Great tune. Favorite line “ just another day in a shit tsunami seven years long”- love your honesty!
@kadmad202 Feb 2022
I love this song, in spite of, or possibly because of the slightly threatening lyrics and lively tune. Your voice absolutely shines here - that random capo placement suits you. Hope you're feeling better!
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
So I just have one question... :D
Your lyrics never fail to impress me. Such a relatable and well written with the point across concisely song.
I can't count high enough for how many times I've yelled at someone "you asking me whats wrong is whats fuckin wrong with me" and immediately felt bad, but wasn't about to apologize because they've now finally left me alone to wallow in my self pity :D
@shutyatrap Feb 2022
How ya doing.. I know right..
If I started looking at you too long I'd likely be blinded by your inner and outer beauty. You have such a knack in making the idea of my making the idea of my spine being torn out is an ideal 2nd date.
Love your shit make! 10/10
@paulh1237 Feb 2022
Love the verse melody and the matter of fact final line threat aha. Great high notes, especially to open the song!
@leka Feb 2022
Very nice! Your voice is beautiful and you deliver the melody and lyrics in a very touching way.
@owl Feb 2022
I’ve definitely had days like this, sometimes more than I care to admit! Good stuff, very relatable.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
I think we've all had these days! Your delivery is great and I love the sort of relaxed aggression comes across. Love it!
@slightlydrunk Feb 2022
Aah, I really feel this one! What a gem. Thank you, this makes it a lot easier to start the week.
@tuesdaygray Feb 2022
Absolutely love this! Your voice is amazing and suits the song so well. Clever lyrics and the chorus is simple and super catchy, I've got a feeling I'm gonna have this stuck in my head for a while!
@jennakole Feb 2022
Well this made me lol.
Your conversational tone coupled with threats is a fucking gift.
That chorus may be a permanent fixture my brain.
@ggallagher Feb 2022
This is so relatable. I love the game of the violent line at the end of each verse phrase and how it’s delivered in this upbeat/ snarky way.
@wacha Feb 2022
I love this take on a very bad day, your delivery has a sweetness to it but still says, "Don't mess with me." Very nice work!
@gordon Feb 2022
Some lovely turns of phrase in here and really nice delivery too. Put a smile on my face on this rainy sunday morning. Thanks for posting
@paulmilne Feb 2022
I don't think I will ask you how you're doing...
Brilliant song, catchy and threatening at the same time. Pure genius.
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Brutal honesty in a breezy tune. Love it!
@blainev83 Feb 2022
“Some days you just get out of bed all wrong, and some days it’s just another day in a shit tsunami seven years long” What a fantastic and unfortunately relatable line I hope your enjoying your FAWM as much as I’m enjoy your FAWM! Thanks for all the great feedback!
@jlampson Feb 2022
I find this terribly relatable, like sometimes I just want to be left alone because my own thoughts and my own internal characters have already tested the turbid waters to their dismay. It was said below, but I'll echo that the balance in this was great, and I especially liked the interplay between internal and external events.
Also, you nailed the capo challenge! Sure, you ended up in a possibly old and familiar key, but you experimented with different voicings and positions to get there. You found the real treasure (which was inside you all along).
@ltunes Feb 2022
Great sing. Love the chorus. Really can relate to the feeling. You expressed it very well!! Quick and dirty awesomeness!
@zecoop Feb 2022
Amazing. It takes a lot of talent to write a lyric that balances "And there’s nothing wrong with looking for money, love or something in between, But if you’re looking at me I’ll probably rip your eyes out" and make it work like it should fit perfectly in any song. But you do. All the time. The honesty is awesome and the joy you sing it with is refreshingly candid. I love your lyrical wit, style and talent. Thanks for such an amazing song. I loved listening. :)
@dj3ff Feb 2022
Such a fun song! The last line of every verse is really funny. Hope you have better days but would love to hear an extended version of this.
@rwhosings Feb 2022
This feels very relatable to me.
That point of no more tolerance for whatever internal reason is a point I’ve been familiar with lately.
And the chorus is perfect.
I like the guitar too.
