[@Nickle_King]

I love how the context changes this song. Without the video, it's a amazingly motivational song to take the bad and keep moving forward because it's gunna get better. With the video, it's the 24 hour news cycle gaslighting it's viewers into continuing to watch them.

[@AidanDaGreat]

kinda funny that new disaster is the exact opposite of the latter with the same effect

I need someone to edit this song into a compilation of Rooster Teeth clips over the years as a final community good bye for the people of Rooster Teeth

I listen to this song daily every morning during my wake-up routine. It's helped me curb some of the anxiety of the insanity we're living through right now. Thanks, BNL.

[@kitsunelee007]

I've taken a page out of your book. Only I play this song whenever I feel myself start to have a panic attack or my PTSD kicks in and before I realize it I'm nodding, tapping my toes and singing along and I'm no longer feeling the crushing panic and worry I was feeling. A massive thank you for the idea😊

[@ColinPMcEvoy]

Can confirm. I’ve been doing this since deciding to be self employed. It’s hard and it’s stressful but this keeps me level headed.

[@Samaru163]

This is the first Barenaked Ladies song that feels like one of their classics since Big Bang Theory. I love the band, but after Stephen left, we can all agree they dropped in prowess. But this and Big Bang Theory show that they are still capable of recreating those amazing beats, lyrical choices, and creative ways of getting really interesting messages through to their listeners.

[@waytoobiased]

Grinning Streak has several good ones, their newer albums tend to have a couple bangers each They have no obligation to write songs a certain way, but we don’t have an obligation to listen to music we don’t like either, so…

[@Leppa10]

I think the song (not the music video, the song) is meant to say that even when things are bad, never lose hope. Because "Odds are, you're gonna be all right". The video, on the other hand, shows the ONE situation when it's OK to lose hope. lol. Sorta a funny way of saying "hey, unlike this video, whatever you're going through isn't the end of the world".
