Lazy Day shares final album preview, "Getting Good"
Lazy Day – the brainchild of London-based songwriter Tilly Scantlebury – has shared "Getting Good" as the latest preview of their debut album, Open the Door.
"The song is about my menial but recurring feelings of failure," explains Scantlebury. "And how I can become really good at behaviours that aren’t helpful, habits that stop me from doing what I need to do. I’m not sure that many people would recognise this kind of avoidance in me, but I wanted to stare at that secret tendency of mine head on."
"Open the Door is about possibility and capacity," they continue, "but 'Getting Good' is about those times when I've been too worried to push the door open myself, and it's been easier to keep it closed”: 'I know I could be good if I just left the house now / And stepped into the world, it’s not that I don’t know how.' Writing the song helped me refocus on the things I really truly want to be good at. Getting good as a continual process, but one that requires you to move on."
Open the Door will be released on 8 November via Brace Yourself Records, and is available to pre-order now.
