The quarterlife blues is real. After graduating, getting your first job or your first longterm relationship, plenty young people in their mid 20s fall into the quarterlife crisis, an existencial crisis with similar signs to the midlife crisis. Our song "Quarterlife Blues" turns this feeling of being scared, lost and confused in early adulthood into heavy blues rock. It's the first song I recorded with my guitar, and I am super lucky with Andrea's lyrics and David's rocking blues vocals and guitar solos. Let's rock!

==== LYRICS ==== 

Driving home from work
Wish I could quit each day
Stuck in a dead end job
But it brings home the pay

Sirens up ahead
A blaring wake up call
If today were my last
Would I care at all

I'm drowning in the sound
Heading for a breakdown

A hamster in a wheel
Spinning round and round
Colliding with my thoughts
And always losing ground
Running for my life
But heading for a breakdown

What if the victim's my wife
Our love's been fading by degrees
Would I feel lonely and lost
Or finally free

Am I just like my father
And his father too
Settling for a life
Just hoping to get through

I'm drowning in the sound
Heading for a breakdown

A hamster in a wheel
Spinning round and round
Colliding with my thoughts
And always losing ground
Running for my life
But heading for a breakdown

Quarterlife Blues

The Smoking Trout collaborative is back with another installment in the story of the Quest for the Holy Dumpling! On this one Jeff, Uziel, Terry and I are joined by Tot for the first time. He sent us an awesome beat to serve as the rhythmic backbone to this new song. 
Then I funkified it with the bass and guitar, Uziel gave a stellar performance on vocals with some original lyrics, and Jeff and Terry contributed just the right amount of weirdness. Terry also did an incredible job with editing this all together during the production phase!   Hope you will enjoy!

Lyrics:

All those normal little things... pass us by, pass ussssssss
mirage of migrant, trucks full of food tiny boutiques nose up looking down
street dancers, performers, the arts little stalls selling fruit

and the bus tumbles through

HOWEVER GUS, You remember Gus? The driver of this bus...
Regretfully informs us that our engine food is at the edge of E, and the only thing we'll be running on soon is fumes

And as we approach, We can hear
A dusty massive heart beating city industry eldritch being and foreboding
Sitting atop his sky scrapers gloating
"Hungry enough yet?" It's beastly maw cries! "It's 10 for 5 and the price only went up 6.7%
Nothing to you, you're worker bees and you can make more honey, can't you?"

While yes that's true
We are the life blood that flow through
But people like me and you
Can't afford it

Fortune cookie flavor our journey
It's the last I got
I'm looking for the old woman
The gate keeper to the other side
Where we have the wholly divide
Away from this hellish relish
And Instead:
Dumpling soup, dumpling plump, fried in foie gras butter perhaps?
Holy condiment burns through fiery on your Thai chili adjusted tongue,

BUT THAT'S JUST ME! It tastes different for everyone

"OH, I can't help it!

We are all starving, the bus is outta' gas, and spewing smoke, Gus is cussing up a storm, Roberta's lighting up her last swiff... I think Larry's getting water?... but we're all outta food"
said Jimmy to Sally and Stu

All digging through our pockets to get the last crumb or two
Looking forward to what we have to share
But it looks like
It's not a lot
