I started working on this song last November. I was really hoping to get it done at some point before March, but given the subject matter it's somewhat appropriate that I just finished it.
The title is something my wife occasionally says...I don't know how she managed to succintly summarize depression in four words with such catchy lyrical cadence when I'm the freakin' songwriter in the house, but she never thought to put it over organ-driven ska-punk, so as a great man once said: "Yoink!"
I do in fact have a light therapy lamp. Its brand name is "Suxio," a fact that tends to cheer me up far more than its actual functionality because it sounds like the name of the least useful robot ever (*CRASH* "Dammit Suxio! That was the mayor's Victorian snail platter!")
Music and Lyrics by Timothy F. Crist
Vocals / Programming / Arrangement / Production / Keytar by Tim "Shoebox" Crist
Mastered by Aaron Smith (who also suggested some EQ and leveling tweaks!)
