Another Day Going Wrong

melancholic post-punk, 96 bpm, clean chorused guitar with long delay, second guitar doubling the chorus melody, driving round bass, dry tight drums, haunted plain male vocal, wordless uh-uh vocal hook, reverb-soaked chorus that opens up, quiet whispered bridge, long instrumental guitar break, dark but warm, no synth lead, no pop production

V6-WILD

[Intro – clean chorused guitar with long delay, soft kick, bass enters at bar 9, wordless vocal at the end, 16 bars]
Uh-uh
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

[Verse 1 – low and plain, guitar, bass and kick only]
It’s just another day that’s going wrong
With the fear that tomorrow will be gone
The world is beautiful even with its flaws
I’ve said it a million times already
Uh
Uh-uh
But it’s just another day that’s going wrong

[Chorus – the song opens up, full drums, second guitar doubles the melody, wide reverb]
And it’s true that the sun is out
But the sun doesn’t warm me
And I want to see the world with you
Don’t you believe it? Let’s go
The evening is scary
The darkness doesn’t speak to me
And I want to find happiness again
Don’t you believe it? Wait

[Post-chorus – drums drop out, guitar and voice only]
Uh-uh
It’s just another day that’s going wrong

[Verse 2 – NEW, optional, low and plain again]
The phone is quiet, the street is loud
I smile at everyone in the crowd
They say it gets better, they say it takes time
But nobody tells me how much time

[Chorus – same as before, vocal slightly more tired]
And it’s true that the sun is out
But the sun doesn’t warm me
And I want to see the world with you
Don’t you believe it? Let’s go
The evening is scary
The darkness doesn’t speak to me
And I want to find happiness again
Don’t you believe it? Wait

[Post-chorus – drums drop out, guitar and voice only]
Uh-uh
It’s just another day that’s going wrong

[Bridge – almost spoken, only bass and a single repeating guitar note, voice close and whispered]
that seems to never go by...
Even waiting is tiring...
Even counting the minutes that pass
becomes tiring...

[Break – long instrumental, guitar melody over the full band, builds slowly, 16 bars]

[Final Chorus – full band, doubled vocal, guitars wide and loud]
And it’s true that the sun is out
But the sun doesn’t warm me
And I want to be with you
Don’t you believe it? Let’s go
The night is scary
The darkness doesn’t speak to me
And I’d like to find happiness again
Don’t you believe it? Wait

[Outro – everything slowly strips back to guitar and bass, voice fades with the last lines, 24 bars]
Uh-uh
It’s just another day that’s going wrong
and it won’t be the first
and it won’t be the last...
It’s just another day that’s going wrong...
It’s just another day that’s going wrong...
Uh-uh
mmmm mmmmm
It’s just another day that’s going wrong...
It’s just another day that’s going wrong...

[Chitarra principale: pulita, con chorus leggero e delay lungo, una nota che ritorna.] [Seconda chitarra: entra dal primo chorus e raddoppia la melodia, più larga e piena di riverbero.] [Basso: pieno e un po’ spinto, che guida tutto, come nel post-punk.] [Batteria: asciutta e precisa, kick e snare netti, hi-hat aperto solo nei chorus; nel post-chorus cade.] [Tastiere: un pad scuro e sottile solo nel chorus finale e nell’outro, senza melodie.] [Voce: bassa e semplice nelle strofe, più aperta nei chorus, sussurrata nel bridge.] [Break strumentale: l’unico momento in cui le chitarre prendono la scena, con una melodia che sale piano.] [Intro – clean chorused guitar with long delay, soft kick, bass enters at bar 9, wordless vocal at the end, 16 bars] Uh-uh Uh-uh Uh-uh [Verse 1 – low and plain, guitar, bass and kick only] It’s just another day that’s going wrong With the fear that tomorrow will be gone The world is beautiful even with its flaws I’ve said it a million times already Uh Uh-uh But it’s just another day that’s going wrong [Chorus – the song opens up, full drums, second guitar doubles the melody, wide reverb] And it’s true that the sun is out But the sun doesn’t warm me And I want to see the world with you Don’t you believe it?
