More people will call in sick today (first Monday in Feb.) than any other day of the year. "Psychologists claim National Sickie Day is the result of a combination of factors, including bad weather, long, dark nights and the seemingly never-ending wait until summer" (quote from Peter Mooney).
But this song highlights the tension that many who experience depression feel: needing people so badly, but not wanting to be seen as "needy," they push away the very people who love them while trying to minimize their need for help.
For this song we decided to release the 1st version in its original raw form. It just communicates better that way.

Thanks for the kind words Matt! We had a great time playing there. Hope you enjoy our little song a week thing :).
Great song! So. Proud.
Thanks Dann! Hope you and the lady friend are doing well :)
Oh wow. I could've really used this song a couple months ago, but that doesn't make it any less perfect today. I can identify (strongly) with every line, but the "I'm not thinking straight" line definitely resonates the most. That statement is just so true. Great, great song.
And it was so fun to see you guys "do your thing" at the coffee shop last weekend! Hopefully you guys start doing more shows...
Working in the mental health field, I cannot wait to introduce this song to some of my clients. Very, very powerful and just so accurate to the experience of so many people struggling with depression. Beautiful.
Michelle you are so sweet. Hope you and Jason are doing well.
I caught your first show with Shane and Shane back in September and I've been back here every week since. This is the first time I've commented on a song, but I just had to today!
I absolutely love the song this week! It speaks perfectly how I have been feeling for weeks! It's such a comfort to know that I'm not the only one that feels like this!
Thanks guys!
Andrea
