Girl at the Rock Shows

Coming back from an amazing weekend away is never easy. Coming back from said weekend, roasted by a sunburn and utterly exhausted, makes it even worse, but that being said, I regret nothing about skipping town for Chicago over the weekend to check out The Bitter Jester Music Festival. I should be frantically trying to catch up on work right now, but the positivity, love, and sense of community I felt over the weekend have me somehow keeping my cool and feeling like checking out some new music is more important than catching up on work, so let’s do that by starting the day off with “Also-Ran” from Cape Crush.

It ends up that this song from Cape Crush is about trying to navigate a job while dealing with ADHD. Literally what I am dealing with right now and on a daily basis. I love how relatable this song is for not just me, but anyone. Instead of reading like a song, “Also-Ran” reads like a bit of an honest pep talk. It goes through a rollercoaster ride of emotions from tender care to angsty energy, and it really will make you feel seen while also giving you a sense of comfort at the same time. For me, this morning, I latched onto the sweetness of this song, but I could see how, on a particularly sleepy morning, “Also-Ran” could work as a perfect wake-up kind of song. It’s energetic but not aggressive, full of life but not overly excited, raw and honest but not overly emotional. Really, “Also-Ran” from Cape Crush is just one of those perfect songs that you will surely fall head over heels for upon first listen.
