Sure I Should

Liner Notes
Came up with this little riff at band practice this week. Good time to play it out a little bit and see where it could go.
No time for videos today as I try desperately to catch up at the last minute!
update: going back and adding videos to swap out the SoundCloud links. Because the videos are fun (and weird sometimes).
Lyrics
You should listen to me You should take my advice You should eat right, drink less, meditate, self-medicate
Yeah sure I should
You shouldn't complain You're only to blame You should watch out, keep on hustling, never change
Yeah sure I should
You should look out for yourself And forget all about everyone else
Yeah sure I should
Comments
"yeah sure I should" could be taken so many ways here. Sarcastic, in agreement, defensive? I guess the last verses answers that, or does it? Cool little ditty, I like the riff!
This has a Nick Drake kind of sparseness and melancholic solipsism. Just made that up. But it's true. And so is this little song.
