As much as its offbeat, \u2018Alarm Clock\u2019 has a heart of gold, building to that neat chorus, one that will stay lodged in your head for days.<\/p>\n<p>Lesser Jay comments\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>This song is about that moment where you know you need to get out of bed and do things,<\/em> <em>and you really want to, but somehow that seems impossibly hard. Overall, that feeling is completely absurd but it happens to me all the time. I guess it could be depression or existential crisis but it seems like a feeling a lot of people have, a resistance to do things that are good for us. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I live in Colorado where there are lots of beautiful walks and hikes close by. I imagined a scenario for the song where I planned to meet a friend in the morning for a walk (my friend Lucas who is in the music video) and I am fighting the urge to just cancel and go back to sleep, even though I actually do want to hang out and I know we\u2019ll have fun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tune in now.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lesser Jay - Alarm Clock Song (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KYQgXCHwQcw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n                                            &#8211;\n                                        <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n                                                <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weare8.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" alt=\"Join us on Weare8\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chop-child\/images\/WeAre8-banner.jpg\" previous-src=\"http:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\/wp-content\/themes\/chop-child\/images\/WeAre8-banner.jpg\"><br \/>\n                                                <\/a>\n                                            <\/p>\n<p>Join us on WeAre8, as we get under the skin of global cultural happenings.
