A gem of a song that captures the feelings of people who keep fighting hard even while weary from everyday life.

Included on My Hair is Bad’s album “ghosts,” released in July 2024, this track vividly portrays the inner heart that puts on a brave face while harboring weakness, along with the will to move forward nonetheless.

Emotional guitar tones and powerful vocals gently embrace the emotions deep within.

CreepHyp - “Twenty-Nine, Thirty” (MUSIC VIDEO)

There are times when nothing goes right—at work or in your personal life—and you just want to give up, right? Sometimes you feel like venting or letting your guard down.

This song captures those fragile feelings, and I think if you listen to it when you’re having a hard time, you’ll really relate.

But the best part of this song isn’t just that it speaks for those vulnerable emotions—it ends by giving you a big boost of encouragement! Even if life is full of difficulties, it makes you think, “Let’s keep trying and move forward, even if it’s just a little at a time.” It helps you stay positive like that.
