Lovely song. Wonderful clean picking and fab counter melody guitaring. Excellent vocal and harmony.

Such a spare and wonderful wide sound, bravo Tom!

Cosmic Soup

A hypnotic spiral of rebellion, sarcasm, and existential dread — Habitual is the distorted mirror reflecting the world’s endless hustle. Gritty guitars meet hyper-literate lyrics in this darkly groovy indie track from The Day Afters.

Habitual

Wash me in the rain falling down
Or wrap me in a snow covered shroud
I don't know what is coming anymore
I don't know what season lies in store

Raise me with the leaves swirling 'round
Or bury me in this frozen ground
I can't see what lies ahead
And the birds have already fled

All this uncertainty
Will be the death of me

Carry me on the gentle breeze
Or bind me with the roots of these trees
I can't see what's around the bend
Is tomorrow foe or friend?

All this uncertainty
Is too much, too much for me
I stumble, I fall free, I waver
Yes this uncertainty
Could be the end of me

Yes wash me in the healing rain
Or lay me down to sleep again
I don't know what is coming anymore
I don't know what the future has in store

All this uncertainty
Is too much, too much for me
I stumble, blindly, I wander
Yes this uncertainty
Will be the death of me

All those times when you tried to play at the at top of your game
lately your enthusiasm’s starting to wane
You’ve been trying so hard to re-ignite that fire in your belly
lately your resolve, it’s turning into jelly 
You've been trying to be the best that you can be
but maybe you’ve been barking up the wrong tree
if your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice 
You’ve been swinging for a home run, but you can’t even seem to get to first base
You feel stuck like a rat in a race, like one of those monkey’s they shot into outer space
There’s days when it feels like you’re hanging by the end of your rope
And you struggling so hard to find a solution so you can cope
if your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice 
You try to make it through each day and sometimes you feel like the missing link
White knuckling your way through all the changes, trying not to be the first to blink
People doing things fast with AI that you're sure would take you several weeks
But you swear you’re going keep doing things the old-fashioned way with your luddite techniques
Your life is like a river that’s constantly flowing, 
You get swept along by the current You’re never sure where it’s going
Sometimes it feels like you’re playing a game of musical chairs
You’re afraid that when the music stops, you’ll be the one whose left standing there

If your Spidey sense starts to tingle, maybe it’s a sign 
that you should open up the curtains and let in some sunshine
Sometimes you need to listen to your inner voice
Every morning that you wake up you still have a choice

Down The Line- Demo

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
