In Their Words: “‘Life So Far’ comes from a place of throwing your hands up in the air and saying, ‘I’ve have enough’ and making things up as you go. There is a lyrical undercurrent of things not ever being good enough, and a musical relentlessness that is not unlike our everyday lives. The lyric, ‘Feelin’ pretty good about life so far’ leaves space for the listener to wonder why it’s only, ‘Pretty good.’ Clearly there are still so many things that are not good, but life goes on with or without all of us. I guess it’s my version of a joke/sarcasm. I suppose I am too young to feel this way, as life has many more twists and turns in store, but it felt good at the time to write a song in this vein.” — Christina Courtin
