Worst December

its called Worst To December.... well thats what my iTunes says... anyways, its a good song.

This song was a secret for awhile. Mainly because the lyrics were a bit confessional in regards to a relationship I was going through. I feared that if my girlfriend discovered the paper with the lyrics, we'd have to confront our issues. A band from Santa Barbara called Bright Life inspired the music of this song. I always admired their use of open chords in their rock songs, something that Sugarcult doesn't do very often. Kenny's drum beat in the beginning of the song is very important. He keeps time on the rim of the tom. This is where we hear the "tick-tick tick" sound. It sounds very much like a clock and gives the track a nice ambient space. Lyrically the song is about about space and feelings of being away from home. I think these two ideas are very important to eachother and add to the songs mono verse qualities. The song's lack of bass in the verse arrangement is also something that we have never ventured into before. My favorite part of this song is the end,"December's gone, it came and went". It sums up best the way I felt about myself and the situation at the time. The song was also very difficult to record. It took three different attempts to record the rhythm guitar parts mainly because we couldn't keep our guitars in tune. Marko's intro riff is my favorite thing he played on the entire record. It was something he came up with the last night in the studio inspired by candles, coffee and chain smoking cigarettes.

This song is probably my favourite off the album right now. If I'm sad I can just put it on and it cheers me up in about half a minute. Sugarcult are such an awesome band.

It's about being in a relationship that you're tired of and you know it's going to end

I dont think its about a relationship he's sick of at all. I think its one he despirately wants to have. He's willing to make all these sacrifices to be with her, but its not happening. Makes me think about my current situation

Punker whoever you got that song from is a dork lol. I have the cd, Its Worst December, not Worst to december :)

its about wanting to live closer to someone ur far away from. wanting to be so close to someone but cant, so he wants to give up all he has to be with her.

Yea, the guy is in a long distance relationship with a girl, and he has to wait three months till he can see her again"50 days, 3 months away" unless he gives up everything and goes to be with her, because he desperately wants to be with her and he thinks she might give up"Don’t take from me" he's saying don't break up with him and don't go away because she is all he really wants.

this song means a lot cuz i'm in a long distance relationship and its gonna suck over the holdidays cuz of all the love and feelings and stuff and not being with the person you love on a holiday just sucks like in Sugarcults other song "all the holidays sucked by myself cuz i'm fucked" :) i only wish they made more refrence to a crappy december in the song then just decembers gone it came and went....

When I saw Sugarcult open for Green Day back in 04 Tim was like "We dedicate this song to Green Day it's called 'Worst December' and it goes like this"
