June Gloom
STAB leans into the SoCal malaise of June gloom with a track that earns its title: the verses are spare and a little restless, riding a clean rhythm section at a steady 117 BPM in B major, before the chorus opens up into something fuller and more chaotic, which is exactly the right move for a lyric like ‘all I do is trip and lay in bed all night.’ The contrast between those stripped-down verses and the dense, layered hook gives the song a genuine emotional arc, and the hook itself has the same kind of blunt, repetitive weight that early Veruca Salt used to turn frustration into a sing-along. ‘My heart’s full of hatred but I swear I’ll fake it’ is the sharpest line here, and STAB delivers it like she means both halves equally. A highlight.
Lyrics
California's been kinda boring A little bit of heartbreak And my friends are falling out And everybody's calling I've been so exhausted 'Cause all my days are filled with doubt Yeah Maybe I should take a break And get out of this place
It's June gloom
Nothing feels right Nothing's going right And all I do is trip and lay in bed all night It's June gloom It's June gloom Nothing feels right Nothing's going right And all I do is trip and lay in bed all night It's June gloom It's June gloom
The fog in the sky got me feelin' sad inside Got me freakin' on this vibe and I don't know why And the sun don't shine and the moon don't rise And my whole damn life feels like a long goodbye My heart's full of hatred But I swear I'll fake it It's been like this since I can remember
It's June gloom
Nothing feels right Nothing's going right And all I do is trip and lay in bed all night It's June gloom It's June gloom Nothing feels right Nothing's going right And all I do is trip and lay in bed all night It's June gloom It's June gloom
