Self Help

This song was used in an episode of The OC, just like Rain City. But it’s obviously also on Ether Song.

Gale: ‘Self help’ is probably my favourite track on the album.
Olly: ‘Its fun to play live as well. With ‘Self help’ I was kind of taking the piss out of self-help culture and the whole idea of that. its very tongue in cheek actually. Its the author of a self help book needing help himself, and that’s basically it. It feels like its one of those songs where you can imagine an army plodding along and singing it. Its one of those universal things. I just imagine in my head an army walking a long to the beat and singing the words in a very post modern way.

Breathe in good, breathe out bad,
Remind yourself of the things you have, it’s easy.
Pull a smile onto your face,
Understand that making friends is easy.

So tell yourself it will be ok,
Remind yourself that you’re not just in it for the money.
The end, the end, the end, the end,the end
My friend, where’s the end?
You’re up, you’re down,
You’re in the ground in the end, my friend,
Where’s the end?

I’ve found myself, deep down in the dirt,
Got to get myself to my feet yeah.
I tell myself it will be ok,
Remind myself that I’m not just in it for the money.
The end, the end, the end, the end, the end
My friend, where’s the end?
