My Day Is Dark As Your Night


The Weather Station “Thirty”

“Thirty” is written is the past tense, with Tarama Linderman reflecting on the state of her life at that age, but the urgency of the music and the vivid details of her lyrics make it feel as though she’s singing from those moments. This is particularly true in the lines in which she’s noticing her reaction to small but pivotal moments of physical affection – surprised, delighted, relieved, safe. The details clutter up as the tempo increases: stuff going on in other people’s lives, mundane pleasures, old issues, new places, liminal non-events. She sounds serene singing it, but also a bit weary, like she’s just glad to have lived the good bits and happy to have her life and not someone else’s.
