The B side "This Fine Art of Languishing" is a more somber glimpse of the past year, formed around an acoustically strummed rhythm track. Hat tip to Adam Grant, organizational psychologist at Wharton school of business at the University of Pennsylvania.
lyrics
THIS FINE ART OF LANGUISHING
------------------------------------------------
Stuck in a state of stagnation, The signs are overwhelming
I’m not depressed, but I feel so tired, It’s really so disheartening
I’m fighting constantly with my wife, everything she does just bugs me,
Trying to hold on to my self-respect, Alpha Male Style
Everything is laborious, nothing feels glorious,
Do you remember that day not long ago?
Caught up in the whirlwind and my ever changing moods….
SOLO
I look around for some hope and joy, but all I see is corruption,
Just getting through the day will take all my strength
Maybe I can get through this, though, maybe I can recover
Start me off with a daily BANG! And we’ll zoom through the rest of the summer
So hop along, and we’ll take you there, lift you up and show some care
Make you come alive again, onward to the moon my friend,
This fine art of languishing will go away, we will move on again...
