Deanna Petcoff takes the ordinary and transforms it into the extraordinary with her latest release, which is a confessional song at its finest. As for the inspiration behind the song, Petcoff says, “I wrote this when my friend was dating the most boring guy ever.” He was just so plain, did not even rise to the standards of decency, and yet she was all over him. She had made a joke to her friend about writing a song, and it was her band that turned it into a full track.
Thus, although the problems of modern dating aren’t exactly the topic of novelty, Petcoff offers a rather original approach. Instead of pointing out the shortcomings of others, she turns the tables around and starts questioning her actions and choices. “Why do I waste my life?” she asks in the chorus, which gives a very raw view of what people are willing to accept in their long term partnerships. It’s a smart and edgy look at the nuances of love.
