Schizophrenia (an ode to the way I feel today)

Once I saw Jukebox the Ghost live after I won what was basically a sarcasm contest. They're my brother's absolute favorite band in the whole wide world and I don't think they've ever signed more merchandise for one person. It was comical. They also gave me their setlist. As proof, I will publicly humiliate myself by offering a photo of me dancing around like an idiot as a result of the receipt of said set list.


Idiocy aside, Jukebox is amazing. Their upbeat and ultimately infectious sound never fails to make me smile.

Check out the song description before you listen. It's quite interesting.

"Years ago I learned that often schizophrenics become schizophrenics in their early twenties after a traumatic experience. So the song is from the point of a schizophrenic who still has the wherewithal to talk coherently about his illness. Secondly, the song was born of the two piano melodies of the verses that were both technically very difficult to play and which, after I learned them, screamed ‘schizophrenic." - Ben Thornewill
