	You’re the furthest I’ve been From the end of the world The closest I’ve come To being sane I try again But my life is hurled Into a void I can’t explain Uneven days pin me to the floor Uneven days who am I to ask for more Uneven days On a bad day it isn’t better On a good day it isn’t worse When we’re not together Love is pain in reverse Uneven days pin me to the floor Uneven days I try to find the door Uneven days Who am I to stand in your way I talk like the dead can hear me I run like I can fly When you’re not near me There’s just enough sorrow to survive

about

“The song “Uneven Days” attempts to explore the depths of how dependent we can become on other people for our own sense of wholeness and stability,” singer and songwriter Ben Harper says of his latest track. “The only thing more hazardous than oversimplifying relationships is over complicating them. Love and surrender are synonyms. Even if I remove love from the equation, mental health and day-to-day perspective maintenance is a razors edge. Maybe acknowledging the unavoidable uneven day, or uneven days, helps avoid uneven months or even years.”

Directed by Scott Keenan and choreographed by Kristin Sudekis, the video for "Uneven Days" was filmed in New York City’s prominent Gibney dance studio. Three professional dancers artfully swing and sway around Harper in the video as he solemnly performs the song on piano. "It was 4 hours of truth, transparency, clarity and vulnerability,” Sudekis said of filming the video. “Cosmic last minute line ups fell into place to make this possible. The dancers and I knew we held this story in our bodies and continue to hold tremendous gratitude for what unfolded on set that day."
