Gladie - "Heaven, Someday" from the 2022 album Don\\u2019t Know What You\\u2019re in Until You\\u2019re Out on Plum Records

Recorded in early 2022, Philadelphia band Gladie chose an appropriate name for their second LP: Don\\u2019t Know What You\\u2019re in Until You\\u2019re Out. The thoughtful title covers more than just the pandemic. As frontwoman Augusta Koch explained to Flood magazine, "We decided to name the record this because it deals a lot with the theme of shifting into a new mindset, and with that change you can objectively look back and see what you were going through without your thought processes being clouded by being in the thick of it." She adds, "I think it\\u2019s also an ambiguous title in a way, because I like the idea that it can be interpreted as both a positive and a negative. Like, the duality of both \\u2018you don\\u2019t know what you\\u2019re in until you\\u2019re out\\u2019 could seem sad because it implies hardship and turmoil, but it can also seem hopeful in the sense that although you\\u2019re going through something really rough, there\\u2019s hope that it will get better \\u2014 you will change, you will survive it, and you will be able to view yourself and your surroundings from a totally new perspective."

Today\'s Song of the Day continues that theme of duality. She tells Flood, it "was written during the height of the 2020 doomscroll-bad-news factory, when we were all putting in overtime. It\\u2019s about trying to combat the fear of the outside world and your inner demons at the same time. There\\u2019s still some hope to hold onto, though, and it\\u2019s important to remember that even both the inside and outside feel inhabitable."
