Hey CW man, this song has a wonderful groove. What a stirring, impressive composition, too. Excellent work all around with it, man!

Loving that riff an indie banger CW. Really enjoyed the listen 👍

Great song CW. I get THE OFFSPRING vibes from the riff and that section with the “well I tried” ending is a highlight. Brilliant!

great track, like the vocals and lyrics very much… :)

Seems sort of a light-hearted song with deeper undertones if one imagines just a bit. An interesting song for sure. … think I'll go for lunch now … 😎💙

very cool groove and love the weary yet optimistic lyrics

Epic groove. Like the loose feel of the drums on this one. Cool new wave vibes

LYRIC
Faced with the knowledge 
No one knows that much 
Put your brain in sleep mode
Except your plans for lunch 
You need your nutrition 
As you contemplate 
Can you go home early 
When you came in late

Oh go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
Throw caution to the wind
But should it boomerang
Forget what I just sang  
Catch it on the fly, it’s worth a try

Cry to the heavens 
Curse the world to hell
But keep it to a whisper 
There’s no need to yell 
Everyone is busy
Most are on their phone
If you’re waiting on an answer
Better check your own

Still, go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
Gather your resources
Pack clean underwear
As if someone will care
Shout out “do or die!” 
It’s worth a try

Take your best shot
Give it all you got
And if you spot
A chance, then pounce
Serve up your last ounce
Of nerve then announce…Well I tried

So a boulder is waiting
Head down, bend your knees
From here it’s all uphill
And Sisyphus agrees
When you get to the top
Take a look around
While your back is turned
The boulder rolls back down

Sure, go on and try
Trying’s always worth a try 
This might be the puzzle
Where all the pieces fit
It’s no time to quit
Raise your hopes up high
Watch that frail bird fly
’Til an eagle drops from the sky
Oh my
Sigh
It was worth a try

Worth A Try
