We’re a generation that feels the weight of inaction. We know too much and do too little. Our feeds keep us alert, our screens keep us numb. Every act of greed shows up in real time, impossible to ignore, and yet somehow easy to scroll past. The gap between wealths isn’t just big—it’s biblical. A Moses-level split, some walking on dry land while the rest sink under the many kinds of exhaustion.

All the Time by Our Bones is about that exact feeling. It’s the sense of futility you carry in your bones, the quiet despair of knowing the world is broken and not being able to fix it. Lines like “Sit at home and come unglued” and “Down in your bones, I know you know, it’s a lie” hit because they’re simple and true. What makes the track so clever is how the guitar riff plays it all off with a playful energy, a reminder of Stacy’s Mom’s goofiness, turning a heavy message into something you can actually enjoy listening to without feeling weighed down.

The subtext is there, but it’s wrapped in a hooky, almost mischievous delivery that sneaks the melancholy past your defences.

Benjamin Durland, who wrote the lyrics, doesn’t try to dress it up. He’s just telling it like it feels, like someone recording the truth in real time. The NY-based band, from Hudson Valley, keeps the music grounded. There’s also a music video worth checking out. It feels like the late 70s crashed into a Scott Pilgrim comic.
