Our lives revolve around goals. Some of us
unfortunately have our goals determined by others or the situations that we are
born into, but for many of us, the focus of life specifically deals with
personal goals. We set goals for ourselves so that we have a sense of
purpose – something to work toward. One of the biggest falsehoods of
mankind, however, is the belief that once we achieve said “goals,” we consequently
acquire happiness or, at the very least, satisfaction. Joie de Vivre’s
newest album,
We’re All Better Than
This, explores this concept of seemingly unattainable happiness, making it
painfully obvious that no one “thing” in life will ever grant us the ability to
remain comfortable for more than a short while.
We’re All Better Than This spectacularly demonstrates that, at the
end of the day, the people you meet, places you go and goals you may complete
are all temporary fixes for the unaccomplished feelings that haunt so many of
us.
