As the year winds down, many of us find ourselves feeling a sense of weariness, a blend of exhaustion and anticipation. This year-end fatigue, a common experience, is often accompanied by a soundtrack of melancholic tunes that perfectly capture this bittersweet emotion.
Your body believes it is always Monday morning, as if your brain has pressed the snooze button on productivity. Yes, there are those uplifting songs that try to get you going, but sometimes all you need is a song that recognizes the difficulties.
Songs like “Tired” by HER, with its raw and soulful vocals, convey the weight of accumulated stress and the longing for respite. Similarly, “Exhausted” by Sia, a haunting ballad, delves into the depths of burnout, expressing the desire to escape the relentless cycle of work and responsibility.
Andy asked “You know it’s that time of the year where your mind, your body and your soul are crawling as we get to the end of the year. The thing is, as the year gets closer and closer to the end, the more tired you are the more the tasks are. As the year draws to a close, thing are getting worse, the pressure is getting worse, there’s no time and there’s no energy. Year-end fatigue, you are feeling it, now desribe that feeling using a song.”
