About day off
day off was written on one of those days she didn’t really feel like going to the studio but she went anyways and wrote a song about it instead of feeling bad about it.
“We’re in the darker days at this point and it can get hard to be productive, feel inspired and get out of your bed, especially if you’re from the Faroe Islands where the winters are long. Day off is a reminder to myself and everyone else who can relate that it should be okay to take a day off, or a week, or years or a whole lifetime if that’s what you need to feel better. You have to prioritize yourself and your mental health because no one else is gonna do it for you.” -jazzygold
The song also touches the subject of feeling guilt by having a day off.
jazzygold continues:
“i can often feel bad when i don’t do shit cause it feels like i’m falling behind so i end up using the whole day to stress about those thoughts AND still not doing shit, instead of just saying ‘’okay, something inside of me says that i need to log off for a bit and maybe just be in my feelings or watch tiktoks all day and that’s fine’’. I’m still learning all of these things cause they’re very hard to balance.”

day off
words & music: Jasmin Mote, Ida Rehnberg & Daniel Hedberg
Shut off my telephone cause i
Just want to be left alone wish i
Find a little piece of mind cause i
Been needing it for quite some time
My room’s a mess
not getting dressed
Today’s about making progress
Pull the curtains down
And don’t make a sound
I’ll be myself when there’s no one around
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
I know i’ve got a million things to do but now
I keep ignoring all of those deadlines
Replaced all my chores with late nights
I try to keep up but somehow
I’m still a mess
No progress
Many sins made but never confess
I’m staying in
Not bothering
I’m crawling back to bed cause
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
A day off by myself
A day off by myself is all i want
A day off by myself
A day off by myself is all i want
A day off by myself
A day off by myself is all i want
A day off by myself
A day off by myself yeah
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
I’ve got a day off (and a)
Inner voice telling me not (so i’m)
Trying hard to act nonchalant
A day off by myself is all i want
