about
Giacomo’s second song on the album is a lively, fiddle-and-guitar- driven folk-bluegrass gem that chronicles the longing for emotional and spiritual freedom and the carefree joy we feel in our younger days. Among his moving lyrics: “I went looking for life’s master key/But only found insanity/Now that devil’s got a hold on me/I just want to be set free.” Hannah says, “We all experience times when we find ourselves in a dark place and have to climb out of the ditches life drags us into. Whatever the result, you have got to be proud of your journey.”
“The irony is that it’s a drinking song, but in the first line, he’s not talking about alcohol but coffee,” she adds. “It’s the ultimate millennial vice. We drink coffee now because the caffeine makes us uber productive and drives us to work harder. The song also speaks about failing, getting back up, and persevering. This comes at the cost of our day-to-day peace of mind, until we begin to crave a simpler time before the world sped up around us. Our generation was told we can do anything we want and make money from our passions, yet that’s really not how it is turning out for us millennials. It can be a real grind, and we all need a good drinking song to take the edge off.”
lyrics
One more cup of coffee as the sun goes down
And I turn on my light
Nothing but my mind to keep me company
As I work through the night
Thinking of the days when I was young
And the world was all for me
I was invincible, no one could bring me down,
and the stars were in my reach
They told me that I could be anything since I could toddle.
But I grew up, life kicked me down and at the bottom, I took comfort in that bottle
Now I’ve been up for days, and sleeping’s just a dream
Like a memory of good times from long ago
But for all of my struggles, my work through the years
I’ve got nothing to show
I gave it all I had, I pushed through down the line at full throttle.
But I’m back to where I started, staring at the bottom of that bottle.
I went looking for life’s master key
But only found insanity
Now that devil’s got a hold on me
I just want to be set free
From the bottom of that ditch I clawed my way back up again
And I stood where I fell
Battered and bruised, but standing tall and proud
After fighting through that hell
You see, Life’s an uphill battle, so don’t you stop, don’t give up, don’t dawdle
Know your blood, sweat, and tears burn hotter than the fire in that bottle
