Sur Duda's Cameron Smith Knows the 'Bad Ways to Feel Well.'
"I wrote that song back when I was at was working at the Dreamy Life store when it was inside the Fairmount Community Library," Smith says."I think I was probably just trying to write just to write something, because the first lines are literally just describing, like, the room that I was in — there was, like, this extension cord that we used during the shows in the library that was plugged into the junkiest old outlet.
The lyrics of the song follow the frazzled narrator through his adventures as a chicken playing tic-tac-toe with a doctor who hates kids, his birth into a bureaucratic world that required his signature after his delivery and the drudgery of full-time work. "The ghosts came about because of the 'Can't Even Pretend' single artwork that was released way ahead of the record," Smith says."When I was trying to think of a video with Jerod Costa, the director, we came up with the idea of them following me around. That image comes from this idea of being haunted by something from your past, but you come to find out that the ghosts are not there to haunt me. They're trying to just, like, give me my keys back.
"I've just kinda always been writing," Smith says,"it's been a thing since I was young. My mom is a writer, too. When I was little, she would set up little poetry diagrams for me — the ABA ABA structure kind of thing — and she'd be working on stuff at her typewriter in the kitchen, and I'd make my own little rhymes with her. I guess that's how I was taught to process things, and now it's just something that happens.
