Take It Easy

Do you need a week off? Well, don’t we all. We’re only human after all. Sometimes we just need to kick back and relax; take a retreat from the everyday pressures and normality of a humdrum lifestyle that we become so used to.

I don’t have a week off. I’m still very much living my regular work/sleep routine only now with the occasional added bout of gym session thrown in, because if life in general doesn’t tire you out, doing thirty minutes at varying speeds on a treadmill just might.

Anyway, a lack of holiday time at the present isn’t getting me down, but I do wonder if I should just have a bit of an off-week at my other job. You know, that thing I do once a week? You know, the thing you just read? Yeah, that’s the one. Need to take it easy this time and attempt to give it a better go next week. Good luck with that one though, eh! Idiot.

It’s not quite feeling summery yet – you can tell because I’m still wearing the big coat on a daily basis. But the days are getting progressively lighter and longer that dialling it down to my thinnest zip-up hoodie can’t be too far away. In that respect, here’s a bit of music that sounds like it’d be brilliant as a piece of background noise at a back-garden barbecue of a warm evening.

There’s something charming about the somewhat lo-fi sound to the recording that makes it come across a bit timeless, despite being up-to-the-minute new. Extra shout out to that fast-paced faded guitar strumming that makes it sound like Sting is about to jump in and start yelping about sending messages to Roxanne in bottles on the moon.
