the worst days of our lives
Kid Lightbulbs
You were the center of my heart Then i let my brain get stepped on While you lay facedown flowing with the river I should have known right from the start That everybody has a weakness And mine was found at this nadir But now i can see some direction Ran out of sins i must confess I've got to get out of the city Before I burn it to the ground I can’t help thinking it’s worth staying But what is not lost can’t be found And i will step into the ocean A lack of comfort in my way The future will be full of mistakes Or present's mistakes here to stay ‘cause This is the best part of the worst days of our lives This is the best part of the worst days of our lives This is the best part of the worst days of our lives This is the best part of the worst days of our lives And i'll keep rearranging my things Unless you break apart my mould End the clockwork, ease the tension And i'll keep coming back to hold you This is the best part of the worst days of our lives This is the best part of the worst days of our lives

STEP INTO THE OCEAN is a spiritual sequel. Where THROW MYSELF INTO THE BAY captured a privileged man in his 30s not handling a string of life-changing events well at all, this album is his stopping, slowing down, and looking critically at what's most important around him – including his own thoughts.

This album was (mostly) written 7-10 years before my last album was written, but I was too consumed by impostor syndrome to release or promote it. It meant something different then – I wrote it in the throes of living together with my partner for the first time, and the ups & downs that came with that. Revisiting this material 10 years later caused it to take on new meaning.
