Kero Kero Bonito - Sometimes

from the album Time 'n' Place
kerokerobonito.com/tnp
Sometimes life gets you down
But you can turn it all around
The raindrops keep falling
You're soaking to the bone
And you can't see for the clouds
Sometimes life isn't fair
But you can beat it don't despair
You win some you lose some
And then you lose some more
You even played your best
But just round the corner
The sun's looking dapper
And lady luck's his date
The happy days are coming again
Sometimes life is a drag
But get that chin up don't be sad
'Cos somebody up there
Is looking out for you
And now they're making plans
But just round the corner
Well the real truth of it's that
Nobody really knows
Life sure doesn't make sense
But on your boots you can bet
That everybody gets the blues
Sometimes

[@25thEffect]

i think this song is the one that hits me the hardest out of the whole album. something about the imagery of a bunch of close friends together singing a song about keeping your head up despite the troubles that may plague you. really though, this whole album has made me so emotional and teary-eyed in a bittersweet and cathartic way. thank you guys for this.

[@snicker576]

Also feels super British, very very 60's

[@San-pv]

its more emotional that everyone in kkb sang it, not just Sarah, which makes it more uplifting

[@gonkandbash]

This sounds like a song everyone would gather around a campfire and sing along 😄, ily Kero Kero Bonito

He's commented on every single song on the album with the same #relatable copypasta. He's like farming.

I have no idea what to expect from KKB anymore after all their more recent stuff, and I love that. KKB definitely had a unique, poppy sound that worked for them, but probably didn't want to be defined by that their whole career. Loving all the variety lately from TOTEP to this

[@sofiasanchez8906]

I’ve been unemployed for two months, dealing with all this financial stress has made me so desperate and anxious. Today I really really was considering logging off from this world soon, so listening to this has made me so emotional 🥹

[@cfnails]

I hope things are and will be going your way, and that you can turn it all around

[@JasonTopo]

This could be an Adventure Time song.

[@asagun5638]

im 15 and an asian and ive had so much problems regarding social life, family, financial and so much. these days have been one of the worst for me because my problems just keeps arising but as I listen to Time N Place album by KKB, I stumbled on to this song and I'm really tearing up right now because my heart is softened by this song. Thank you Sarah. I just wish my life was like all those students around me wherein they do whatever they want hah

[@creepy_artist]

20 year old Venezuelan here, I can related to a level of what are you going through, and yes, it feels as if everything is getting out of your reach, you can't find the solutions to your problems, and everything starts to seem to be getting bigger and bigger. I'm not psychologist, but I can tell you that the first step is to accept there are problems you will not be able to solve alone, I don't know how things are precisely, but you never know how much a friend could help, even if it's just to vent, don't leave things for yourself when there's a friend that can lend a shoulder. Take a deep breath, enjoy the wind for a couple of minutes, and if you need to, don't hesitate to talk to a friend, because the same way you're willing to give a lot for your dearest friend, the same they are willing to do for you!
When I was that same age, I was having social and financial problems too, those days seemed like they were lasting forever, but just after the majority of my problems went away, I lived quiet years, years of pure peace, I belive you can do it, is not going to be easy, and perhaps it will not be short, but I can assure you that sooner or later, you will get your peace years too! You can do it c:

[@JawsFan27]

Like the song says, "life sure doesn't make sense, but on your boots you can bet, that everybody gets the blues sometimes."
It happens to us all at one point or another, the only thing you really can do is keep your chin up and crack on.

[@ev04in]

hope you doing well mate. Literally in your same situation.

[@San-pv]

hope youre doing well in your 17, all the best,

[@arsenicSynthpop]

I’m suffering a loss in my life, someone very important to me at the moment, and the line ‘somebody up there is looking out for you, and now they’re making plans’ broke me, he’s up there taking care for me i think

[@attackoftheclonesisnotthat790]

Hope you’re doing good

[@1bridgeyboo]

This speaks to me on an emotional level. It's so cute.

Sometimes, life gets you down

You win some, you lose some
And then you lose some more
You even played your best
But just round the corner
The sun's looking dapper

[@annurkamalia1574]

Maybe it's just me but I feel like this is like a more mature(?)/upgraded/realistic version of Trampoline she released before.
Trampoline (to me) is about getting up again and again, getting rid of some obstacles in life.
While in this song, Sometimes, they're singing about how life is just unfair sometimes and at that time, you'll just have to accept those obstacles until they get rid of themselves. All the while remembering that it's gonna be okay later on, even if you don't do much to get rid of said obstacles.
Again, this is just my personal opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree. Hell, give me your thoughts. I'm kinda curious.

[@KyleKyle__]

I would not call it an upgrade

[@JasonTopo]

but you gotta get up again and again and again 🐸✨

[@CrashfHackergames]

(Take a shot each time you read the word "problem") Kinda see that as a fact. In these three years I've spent in high school I learned that some problems are just plain unsolvable, the thing is: You shouldn't focus on this kind of problems, you should focus on the problems that are within your reach. Along the way you will meet people and start trusting more in those people that can actually solve those problems that can't be solved by you. As an example: I fucked up my whole family in the transition from middle to high school, and now we are poor as fuck. Working part-time is not an option for me, since I'm making a technical course in mechatronics and I still have to be able to study for a certain countrywide test we take at the end of high school here in Brazil. I was worried, guilt fucking consumed me the whole first year, but than one day mom sat me down and ~screamed~ said:
"Go do your fucking part, go to your room, study a lot, I can't deny you were the one who caused this problem, but each one of us is to blame in this situation, focus on your development as a person during these three years, focus on your studies, we'll take it from here, TRUST US" and so I did, they are making their effort and everything became more clear to me: I had my relationships; I learned a lot of stuff; I (sorta) stopped procrastinating; I've got an stable group of friends that I hope to keep close, even when we follow our own ~true~ paths; I've got experience and knowledge enough to follow the path I want to. Right now I'm preparing to follow my dream (which is to become a game designer) and I keep straight focus on my main objective.

[@JasonTopo]

Mr. Foxhound Keep grinding. Can’t wait to see that game coming out.

[@ekmb]

i feel like trampoline is about how when you think you're at your lowest you gotta believe that there's a better tomorrow. sometimes compliments this idea by saying yea it can suck but its alright

[@azul4504]

why is this song so depressing to me even for how happy it sounds and is happy. fuck man this is such a great song

[@Hi-lq7xx]

It's like you're with your friends on a camping trip. Unfortunately, those times are gone for most of us. And that's why it's so sad to me.

[@apwdax]

same bro it doesn't make sense can some music genius explain

[@nyapaw]

nobody:
me: the lonely white pixel on the left

[@katie8617]

the white mark looks a little too long to be just a pixel, in my opinion. It may be a set of pixels. And in that case, maybe they aren't so lonely :)

[@windwalker9800]

this song kept me hopeful in bad times
and let me tell you....
listening to this song right as the bad times are finishing
i cried happy

[@DororosWife]

I've been coming back to this song since its release. Always use it when i'm really really feeling low in life. In fact i would say it was my theme song during the time i was looking for a job (I have ASD so its hard)

[@FREEZarts]

this song is so beautiful, it always brings chills and happiness, some of theses lyrics are simple but really powerful to me, like "You win some, you lose some
And then you lose some more" or "Life sure doesn't make sense
But on your boots, you can bet
That everybody gets the blues
Sometimes"
this song reminds me that you don't have to take life so seriously to be happy and that every moment of sadness is temporary

[@nikoregenerator]

this album made kkb my favorite band

3 NEW SONGS AAAAAA

[@OctoberXP]

AsdfOscar time n place dropped!!

[@user-dp4zs8yr7v]

Esta canción es lo mejor, realmente puedo sentir mucho lo que dice. Fue la canción que escuche más veces en 2021, fueron años duros y como diría la canción a veces gane pero siempre terminaba perdiendo incluso si daba lo mejor y ese año fue tan duro que solo escuchaba esta canción para sentirme mejor, era mi único consuelo, sobre todo cuando mencionan que alguien allá arriba está al pendiente... Realmente lo siento y muchos lo sintieron, esta enfermedad nos robó a muchos no solo tiempo, si no otras cosas más importantes
No podía escuchar esta canción sin llorar. En general el disco marco una etapa en mi vida, antes solo sentía que por más que lo intentaba no podía salir de dónde estaba, actualmente tengo otra perspectiva y ya no siento que todo sea una basura, incluso puede escuchar este disco con nostalgia. Como si la tormenta ya hubiera pasado y realmente cosas mejores ya vienen después de todo.
Gracias kkb por tan hermoso arte, por acompañarnos en este largo viaje de la vida. Seguiré teniendo a Time N' Place en mi corazón, el disco que me acompaño por una etapa de mi vida
