New Year’s Resolutions Blues
A blues-tinged comedy song that perfectly captures the eternal optimism and inevitable stumbles of New Year’s resolutionsâfrom abandoned gym memberships to forgotten planners.
It’s the anthem for everyone who’s ever started January with grand plans, only to find themselves back on the couch by week two.
đ
How many times have I been on a diet? I’ve lost count, to be honest. Same thing with my fitness plans. But hey, we all get those “New Year’s Resolutions Blues”… but the fact that we tried is something. It just means our convictions weren’t strong enough to carry through!
You just need to create somatic markers… for weight loss, quitting smoking/drinking… why? Because somatic markers work.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Made my list on New Year’s Day
Swore this time I’d find a way
But by January three
I’m right back where I used to be
[Chorus]
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
Started strong but bound to lose
Gym membership’s gathering dust
Diet plan’s already bust
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
[Verse]
Bought me a planner, color-coded neat
Meditation app to keep me zen and sweet
One week later, chaos reigns supreme
These resolutions are crushing all my dreams
[Chorus]
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
Started strong but bound to lose
Gym membership’s gathering dust
Diet plan’s already bust
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
[Bridge]
Maybe next year I’ll get it right
Maybe next year I’ll win this fight
But for now I’ll just confess
This whole thing’s a mighty mess
[Verse]
They say third time’s the charm
But this ain’t doing me harm
Living life day by day
Might just be the better way
[Chorus]
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
Started strong but bound to lose
Gym membership’s gathering dust
Diet plan’s already bust
Got New Year’s Resolutions Blues
[Outro]
These resolutions are giving me the blues
Yeah, these resolutions are giving me the bluesâŠ
(laugh)
These resolutions are giving me the blues
Yeah, these resolutions are giving me the bluesâŠ

lol, this song hits too close to home. Every January, I’m all gung-ho about getting fit and organizing my life, and by February, it’s like, what resolutions? Gotta give props to SupaBees for spinning this eternal struggle into a comedy gold. Made my day!
Interesting perspective, but have you ever tried setting more realistic goals? It might help you stick with your resolutions.
Resolutions aren’t for everyone. Living in the moment like the song’s last verse suggests might just be the best resolution.
Every year the same story, people thinking this time itâll be different. But hey, SupaBees nailed it with this song, didnât they? Resolutions are just a setup for the New Year’s Resolution Blues. Wonder if anyoneâs ever made it past January without breaking them. Doubt it.
