Where Do We Go – Some Days Are Worse Than Others
Where Do We Go’s “Some Days Are Worse Than Others” is a colorful and dynamic song that combines indie guitar rock, neo-prog, and classic rock influences. The uptempo composition provides a vibrant and cheerful tone from the beginning. While rooted in indie rock, the guitar work glances at Marillion’s progressive sophistication and also connecting smoothly with Electric Light Orchestra’s nostalgic vibe. This combination of contemporary and classic inspirations in a modern production (mix and mastering), improves the track’s overall character, providing it a distinct edge within the popular pop scene. Moreover, the melodic vocals add a smooth, radio-friendly touch to the song, making it easier to listen to without overpowering the musical details. At 3:35, the song takes an intelligent turn, slowly slowing down the tempo. This transition adds length and meaning, allowing the listener to process their feelings before the song fades out. It’s an unnoticed but effective choice, allowing the previous sections’ energy stay with you even as the music progressively fades out.
