You Can Do Better

Blacklite District

Cris Cohen: On the title track, “You Can Do Better,” it reminds me of people online always talking about, “You have to work harder.” Somehow, it's always coming from someone who reached their success either through absolute luck or outright nepotism.

In your addressing this, how much was pointing out the hypocrisy and how much of it is also, “Better according to who, and to what standards of better?”

Kyle Pfeiffer of Blacklite District: Right. I love that you asked that. I know I say that for every question you ask, but you’ve got some good stuff here, Cris. I'm telling you.

But yes, and you actually caught that. A lot of people assume “You Can Do Better” is maybe me or whoever on the song telling people that “You can do better.” But it's really the opposite. (It’s) you feeling like you have tried and done everything and put your heart and soul into anything, and all you ever get told is “You can do better than that.”

And that's kind of where the thought came from. Going through daily life, no matter what would happen, people are never happy. They're never pleased. They always assume you can do more for them.
