“We live in a world where hard work is rewarded and having needs and limitations is seen as a source of shame. It's no wonder so many of us are constantly overexerting ourselves, saying yes out of fear of how we'll be perceived for saying no.” ― Dr. Devon Price, 'Laziness Does Not Exist'

That melody is surprisingly hypnotic and catchy, and the beat behind it is so compelling. Great work!

Literally the first track I look for every week. Trip hop this week, huh? Vocals great as usual. I don't know how you're able to write sensible lyrics weekly. I'm impressed!

Super cool! Very relatable lyrics, definitely feel like that mouse sometimes…

ooooh super catchy vocal hook and love the lyrics.  Excellent trip hop sorta feels with the downtempo beat and sweet panning that had me chinchilling along.  JWH on TOP of a mountain epic geetarness.    Also yay Devon Price!

Love the track, and the quote is great too. Gotta slow down.

Such a beautiful vocal melody you gave to us. Like a mantra, that can be used to reduce stress and practice self-care. This is a very wise piece of music. Thanks.

i like the mix of creepy and jolly

I love how all the moves in this song are both unexpected when they happen, and then inevitable after that. Beautiful work!

I agree-- NEVER DECIDE!!!!!
heart heart What a pleasant song, thank you both!!!

Love the quote, love the message, love the beat, love the atmosphere, love the song.

Really like the panning choices in here. Cool!

enjoying the main beat to get it started... and that dirty bass and the vocals coming on, unexpected sonic alliances, another beautifully unique composition

Oh wow what is that sound - like an angry door or a guitar? I think Sting was mentioning that he loves to be surprised by tracks - the diversity of sounds and atmospheres in this track definitely make it surprising and delightful, like a strange movie where the plot is subconscious. Love that guitar line from 2:18 onwards.

I like this one! This beat is a nice groove, I'm nodding. Vocal hook so catchy. Never decide! The sounds all fit in well. Going to listen to this one again! Tasty guitar from jwh, yesss.
I have not heard of Dr Devon Price, but that's a great quote, I'll click through. A good reminder for a situation in my week actually. Thank you!

The percussion is great and I really love the big crunchy lead synth sound heart

thanks a lot! 

Badass drum programming and synths that rip the fabric of the universe. Nice! Great mix with solid punch low end.

This is scary music on a whole other level.

PANNING JUMPSCARE
