Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
After the long night of self pity breaks the dawn of uncomfortable wisdom - the only one who will change your world is you.
Lyrics
When the day drags by like quicksand Intent to have you drown And the night's a jet black juggernaut Trying to run you down Nightmare follows nightmare In a never ending chain And you're always stuck in the wrong lane Getting left behind again And the pain of holding on Becomes a dull familiar ache You might pray For a different day to break Do you feel that you've been cheated, The victim of some arcane curse? And offers of quick fix redemption Only make it worse? It won't help to cross your fingers Crazy as that seems And wishing you were somewhere else Is just a waste of dreams It all come down to actions Only you can take No matter how you pray For a different day to break No matter what you say This is not your day This is not your day This is not your day no matter what you say This is not your day Not your day to break It all comes down to the choices No-one wants to make No matter how you pray For a different day to break No matter what you say This is not your day This is not your day This is not your day no matter what you say This is not your day Not your day to break

Hooked instantly with the initial riffage and tone, and then treated to yet another thoughtful and memorable tune with integrity. Your creativity, songwriting skills, and musicianship shine once again, as always a treat and inspiration to visit here, thanks Steve. :)

What a piece of work! Great songwriting here man...really excellent lyrics , well phrased and delivered with your really likeable vocals. Excellent guitar work...the solo is almost psychotic...lol...i was smiling ear to ear thru it all. Very well thought out piece that i can only compare to Tom Petty...who i think is perhaps the best American songwriter going. Top shelf tune with an A+ mix and production. Ace!

I really wish you'd approach some publishers and licensing companies...your songs have that special something that means they could be used for singles, soundtracks and other commercial uses. This is another great song, all the ingredients of a hit - great production, arrangement and performance. Stunningly good guitar solo, top notch vocals and great lyrics.
