it's one of those days

Don’t ask me how I’m doing if you don’t wanna know
I stayed up too late, woke up late, oh you know how it goes
Give off the vibe that everything’s fine
As long as, as long as you don’t look in my eyes
It’s all going just so perfectly wrong

Hey hey hey what can I say?
It’s just been one of those, one of those days
Hey hey hey what can I say?
It’s just been one of those, one of those days

Don’t mind this kind of life of hurry up and wait
Too many things to do, to lose, it gets a little insane
So much crazy in 24 hours
So many bills, too little frills, and not enough flowers
What I wouldn’t give for a minute to myself

Hey hey hey what can I say?
It’s just been one of those, one of those days
Hey hey hey what can I say?
It’s just been one of those, one of those days

lyrics from Joy Williams- One of those days
from her latest EP (One of those days), which I absolutely adore

Mondays; it's one of those days, eh?

And I love the bluntness of the first line "don’t ask me how I’m doing if you don’t wanna know". How often have we asked that question, but end up not even really listening to what the other person is saying, only to think of how to make our own day/situation sound worse than it really is?

So whenever I feel like complaining how bad my day/week/year has been, I listen to Joy Williams and imagine my troubles being washed away :)

Also, I'm excited and happy for Joy Williams for her song "charmed life" being featured in the season finale in Grey's Anatomy. I remember telling everyone how I would never start watching that series, but now thanks to my flatmate Amy, I find it hard missing an episode every week. Watch the acoustic version of "charmed life" here.
